Fletchers’ Family Farm Star Opens Stunning Cottage for Winter Getaways

The countryside charm of Fletchers’ Family Farm is no longer limited to television. Fans of the ITV series can now experience life on the 120-acre farm for themselves, as Liz Fletcher — wife of actor and farmer Kelvin Fletcher — opens the doors of their beautifully renovated Stag Cottage for holiday stays this winter.

From Screen to Staycation

While farming documentaries like Clarkson’s Farm continue to dominate British television, Fletchers’ Family Farm has carved out a softer, family-oriented niche that’s winning hearts across the UK.
Now, viewers can move beyond the screen and step right into the show’s world.

Stag Cottage, prominently featured in the second series, has been transformed into a luxurious countryside retreat nestled on the couple’s picturesque Derbyshire farm. The property is now available to book for short stays through Sykes Holiday Cottages — and it’s already proving to be a runaway success.

Liz’s Labour of Love

According to Kelvin, the project has far exceeded their expectations.

“The response has gone above and beyond anything we imagined,” he told the Manchester Evening News.

The cottage has quickly become one of the farm’s most successful business ventures, and much of that success is thanks to Liz, who personally oversaw the entire renovation.

Liz revealed that demand skyrocketed almost instantly after the property went live online:

“We put the cottage up for rent as a holiday let, and it just went crazy. Within two days, the year was literally sold out. It’s gone above and beyond our expectations.”

Kelvin affectionately calls the cottage his wife’s “baby,” joking that when he can’t find her on the farm, he knows she’s “spending her time on her new obsession.”

A Five-Star Rural Escape

Guests can expect a warm, inviting atmosphere at Stag Cottage — combining rustic farm character with modern comfort.
It’s already gathering glowing five-star reviews, with guests praising both the property and its hosts.

One happy visitor wrote:

“The cottage had everything we needed, and Liz was so helpful and welcoming. It’s the perfect cosy home for a peaceful holiday. The nearby villages and walks are stunning.”

Another reviewer added:

“It feels homely from the moment you step inside — beautifully decorated, very comfortable beds, and incredibly quiet. Kelvin and Liz were lovely. We’d love to stay again!”

How to Book Your Stay

Those eager to experience farm life firsthand can book Stag Cottage directly through Sykes Holiday Cottages, though availability for the rest of 2025 is limited. A handful of December dates remain open — ideal for a cosy winter escape surrounded by the rolling hills of the Peak District.

Alternative Farmhouse Retreats

If Stag Cottage is fully booked, there are several charming alternatives nearby.

• The Stables at Badgers Clough Farm, another Sykes listing, offers a similar rustic charm and is slightly more affordable at around £596 for three nights in November.
• For those seeking sweeping countryside views, Overlea Cowshed in Derbyshire is another gem, with December stays starting at £496 for three nights.

Other great platforms for rural winter retreats include Holidaycottages.co.uk and Rural Retreats, both featuring a wide range of scenic escapes across the Peak District and beyond.

A Farmhouse Dream Come True

What began as a renovation project has become one of the Fletchers’ most successful ventures yet. By blending their love of farming with hospitality, Kelvin and Liz Fletcher have turned their family’s story into something tangible — inviting fans and travelers alike to experience the peace, charm, and authenticity of life on their working farm.

So, whether you’re a fan of the show or simply seeking a quiet countryside retreat, Stag Cottage promises the perfect mix of warmth, comfort, and rural magic.
