The Old Barn is a high standard conversion, spotlessly clean, well equipped, and very comfortable. The rural location offers peace and quiet and a stunning view from the pretty garden at the rear. Good location for exploring the southern Peak District. One of the best holiday properties I have stayed in - highly recommend.

A comfortable holiday cottage in a quiet rural location but not too far from a village and a few miles to the nearest town. Fantastic countryside views - and private outdoor space which can be enjoyed when the weather allows.

Wonderful stay at the Old Barn, there are plentiful places to visit within easy driving distance, highlights would probably be Chatsworth, Hardwick Hall and the Cascades garden. The cottage itself is well equipped, warm and cosy. Weather could have been a little warmer to allow sitting outside in the garden. The Knockerdown Inn and The Miners Arms Read moreare worth a visit when eating out. Would thoroughly recommend staying at the cottage if visiting Derbyshire. Hide
