Our lovely converted 17th century farmhouse can fit 11 people comfortably, perfect for two families or a group of friends who want to holiday together. The large kitchen, with its long refectory table and Rayburn in the corner, is ideal for those big holiday breakfasts and dinners. We have two living rooms, one with a television, video and DVD (perhaps the TV and games room for the youngsters?), the other with a CD player, and both with real fires. The house is in the heart of the village, just behind the village pub, the Buck Inn, which serves good food and excellent ales.

The house itself is set in a quiet courtyard, with stunning views up to Buckden Pike, the hill that rises sharply behind the village. There's an open patio with a built-in barbecue, ready for that perfect summer's evening.




Buckden is very, very picturesque. It’s a small village and farming is still central to the community; there is one working farm in the village itself and another two or three just up the valley. Buckden is remote (although certainly not isolated) and it really feels like you’ve got away from it all. The beauty of the neat, drystone-walled fields in the valley, combined with the rugged, wind-swept hills is breathtaking – and what with the bag-fuls of fresh air, spending any time there is a genuinely invigorating experience. Come to Buckden and rejuvenate!

Clifford House Farm is available for self-catering short-term holiday lets, from long weekends to full weeks. Although it's self-catering, we provide bed linen, duvets, blankets and towels. And you don't always have to eat in - there are plenty of options to eat out, either in the village itself, or in the surrounding area - click here for a list of recommendations. All the information you need about the house, the pricing and the booking conditions is contained on this website. To view comments left by some of our previous guests, click here.

Clifford House Farm is owned by a group of friends who have all fallen in love with the beauty of the valleys, lanes, villages and hills of this breathtaking part of England. We all holiday in the house ourselves, several times a year, relishing that first pint of Old Peculier and stiff walk up the path to Cray as we make the long journey up the M1! We certainly hope that you will also leave at the end of your holiday with the same fondness that we all have for the village and the dale.
