We had a wonderful stay at Blakelow Barn and found the property to be well equipped and very clean. This was our first trip away as a new family with our 5-month-old and 2 dogs. The Barn was perfect with lots of space for the dogs in the rustic garden and also lots of room in the open plan kitchen/living area. Perfectly located off the beaten trackRead more so nice and quiet, but only a 10minute drive from Matlock and a supermarket if needed. A wonderful little property and excellent location. Hide

What a wonderful stay we had at Blakelow Barn over New Year. Booked to be in the middle of nowhere to get away from fireworks and got exactly that.

Wonderful barn in a really quiet part of the Peak District. It was warm, welcoming and the owners provided everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Best of all, the fireworks were hardly audible with TV on so our lovely dog had a really restful weekend. The garden is huge and secure with fences and walls so we were comfortable letting the Read moredog lay outside when the weather allowed. Matlock is a 5min drive away and there's plenty to see and do within a few miles. Hide
