Hello, I’m Emma, and for the past four years I’ve had the joy of welcoming guests to our beloved Top Riley. Hosting here is more than a job, it’s a passion. I love creating a haven where you can truly unwind, breathe in the fresh Peak District air, and lose yourself in the gentle sounds of nature. I’m nearby in the main house, always happy to help if you need anything, but never far enough to disturb your peace.

Owl Cabin Tucked amongst the trees at Top Riley, Owl Cabin is a peaceful hideaway where you can truly be at one with nature. Designed for grown-ups only, it’s perfect for couples seeking tranquility and comfort in the heart of the Peak District. Inside, you’ll find a luxurious double bed, a modern shower room, a well-equipped kitchenette, and a cosy seating area. Outside, your patio invites you to sit back with a drink, listen to the birdsong, and watch the light change across the hills. All the little touches are here to make your stay easy and comfortable, from a smart TV (with access to your own streaming accounts) to thoughtful details that mean you can simply arrive, unpack, and relax. With quiet hours from 9pm to 9am, Owl Cabin is a place to slow down, breathe, and soak up the peaceful beauty of nature, while still enjoying all the luxuries that go far beyond camping.
