About Us

Our Ethos

At Peak and Vale, we believe exceptional stays deserve recognition. Born in the heart of Yorkshire, our independent certification sets a new standard for luxury self-catered holiday homes—one built on trust, transparency, and meticulous quality. We personally inspect each property to ensure it delivers not just comfort and style, but a consistently outstanding guest experience. Based upon leading industry research and a rigorous 100 point control scale, our quality control measures are second to none. Our mark signals to travellers that a home has been thoroughly vetted, while giving owners a badge of honour that sets them apart. From the rolling hills of the Peak District to the sun-drenched coasts of Europe, Peak and Vale is your assurance of a truly exceptional stay.

Our Services

At Peak and Vale, we offer a trusted certification service for luxury holiday properties, designed to highlight and uphold exceptional standards. Our process begins with a detailed in-person inspection, where we assess everything from cleanliness and comfort to design, amenities, and guest experience. Properties that meet our criteria are awarded the Peak and Vale mark—an independent symbol of quality that guests can trust. We work closely with property owners to provide feedback, suggest improvements, and ensure their homes consistently deliver five-star experiences. In addition to our core certification, we plan to offer optional eco-accreditation for sustainably minded homes and partner with select brands to bring added value and visibility. Whether you're a guest seeking confidence in your booking or an owner striving for distinction, Peak and Vale offers a service built on care, credibility, and consistency
