Wel­come to ARC Peaks, a restored his­toric prop­er­ty, seclud­ed in the dreamy val­leys of the Peak Dis­trict, sleep­ing 30, with wood-fired hot tubs, indoor pools and piz­za ovens

Wild­boar­clough, named with a nod to Eng­land’s rich hunt­ing his­to­ry, is an idyl­lic vil­lage sit­u­at­ed in the green folds of land of the Peak Dis­trict. A Nation­al Park, renowned for its dense for­est, open plains and rugged dales, this area is where you’ll find wild trout leap­ing from the Riv­er Dane, where ancient folk­lore abounds and the wind whis­tles your name. It’s also where you’ll find our ARC.

The Old Post Office has remained a fea­ture in this dra­mat­ic land­scape for approx­i­mate­ly two-hun­dred years. For­mer­ly a print­works, the edi­fice has been restored by PAR­TI archi­tects to retain its orig­i­nal her­itage fea­tures, and con­tem­po­rary exten­sions have been added, using Japan­ese tech­niques to rein­force the struc­ture. Through the Yak­isu­gi art form, the wood­en skele­ton of the prop­er­ty is charred until black to enhance dura­bil­i­ty. Notably, this is the first case (to our knowl­edge) of Yak­isug­i’s struc­tur­al use in Europe.

Beyond find­ing your flow in the indoor pool or yoga stu­dio, at ARC Peaks you’ll dis­cov­er lux­u­ry facil­i­ties geared towards an ele­vat­ed expe­ri­ence of out­door liv­ing, includ­ing alfres­co kitchens, pre­mi­um piz­za ovens, wood-fired hot tubs and a South African style Braai. The Riv­er Dane rip­ples around three sides of the prop­er­ty, cre­at­ing a watery lull as it rush­es by, infus­ing your dreams with the sound of water, fur­ther blur­ring the para­me­ters of inter­nal domes­tic­i­ty and exter­nal wilder­ness. Sculpt­ed from reclaimed stone that was exca­vat­ed on-site, a majes­tic table extends towards a flow­er­ing orchard and serves as a visu­al focal point in the grounds, invit­ing guests to gath­er round, share sto­ries and wine under the heat of the sun or the light of the moon.

Con­vivi­al­i­ty is at our core. ARC Peaks is metic­u­lous­ly designed and opti­mised for large con­gre­ga­tions of peo­ple who wish to stay togeth­er, sleep togeth­er, eat togeth­er, retreat togeth­er. With 10 en suite super-king bed­rooms and a charm­ing­ly ren­o­vat­ed attic con­tain­ing 10 cur­tained alcoves, the prop­er­ty can accom­mo­date 30 peo­ple in com­fort and style, lend­ing itself very well to cor­po­rate away-days, co-work­ing retreats, friend­ly cel­e­bra­tions or larg­er fam­i­ly affairs.
