  We had a lovely stay at Corner Croft (4 adults + 13mth old).

  Downstairs there is a large living room with a door to the front patio, and a kitchen/dining area with large dining table and hallway access to the front patio. The kitchen has more than everything you need (even if you want to go as far as doing some baking!). With a slimline dishwasher make sure you take plenty of dishwasher tablets. We loved sitting on the front patio to eat our evening meal and we enjoyed drinks there in the late evening sun. Upstairs on the right hand side of the property is the bathroom and one double bedroom, then on the other side of the hallway, above the living room, is two doubles (1 en suite) that share an adjoining hallway which was perfect for us with a little one as we could effectively join the two rooms by leaving the doors open but the door to the main hallway closed. Equally, you could close both doors to keep the rooms separate. There are more pictures of the property on Facebook. There is also a little Salon on the farm called "The Little Magpie" which we didn't use, but I imagine you can get your nails or something done there if you wish. As the property is on a working dairy farm, our little one enjoyed watching the cows. There was also a swing and slide/climbing frame to use near the front patio. For days out we visited: -Peak wildlife park -a walk from longnor village which has a little shop, cafe and pubs -buxton -Bakewell -matlock bath and cromford mill -carsington water -tagg lane dairy for ice cream, cake, hot drinks All we're worth a visit. The Duke of York pub does takeaways and they were top notch with very generous portions. It was a very enjoyable week and much better than we imagined (made even more so by the Great British weather being Great for once!)

  This is a beautiful cottage, upon arrival my wife immediately unpacked everything into the wardrobes and told me she wants to move in permanently.

  It's clearly very well maintained and looked after. There was a wonderful play area immediately outside which included swings and a slide where my 2 yr old daughter had lots of fun. Its is situated on a dairy farm so we were able to visit the barns where the cows were, they have 3 goats and 4 chickens. The owners live on the farm and were very friendly. They were able to recommend local pubs and restaurants which was great. Inside the cottage we had no mobile reception but we did get reception whilst walking around the farm. The only fault was the cottage wifi wasn't working but the owner explained that the internet provider was due to fix the issue shortly and so we were just unlucky. There's a nice seating area outside where we could enjoy breakfast rather than sitting in the indoor dining area. The lounge was very large and comfortable, the bedrooms were of a good size too. The cottage is surrounded by lots of green, hills and scenery. I would stay here again. It was a 15 minute drive from Tissington village where we attended a wedding. The entire area is filled with beauty and has a lovely and welcoming community.

  We left after one night.

  Overwhelming smell of smoke from the broken chimney stack. White stone walls in the sitting room are grey with it. Mould spores everywhere, behind beds, corners, windows etc. Leak in utility so floor had puddles. Sheets hadn’t been changed. Stained and wrinkled so called owner and told where sheets were (locked in eaves, sitting on floor with mouse traps and mould on walls). Mould in eaves wardrobe. Dirty kitchen, oven. Uncomfortable beds. Vintage one unsafe as not bolted together tightly and moves. Sofa dirty and cushions paper thin. Had shower and flooded downstairs toilet out and that was the last straw. Obviously happened before as ceilings have old water stains. Got refund for remaining 6 nights but really upsetting. Took photos and shared with Sykes. Only saving grace is the glorious location.

  It’s a lovely property which was let down by some issues.

  Plus it’s not really practical for bigger families. Issues: heating wasn’t turned on when we arrived. There was no hot water for showers in the evening or the following morning. When we asked for the heating to be turned up this was then fixed for the rest of the stay. Maintenance had missed replacing a smoke alarm battery and this went off all night on our last night. Some of the pans and utensils were very tired. We left some out for replacement. Practicality- there is only one (difficult) parking space. We were told to park in the nearby pay and display public car park, but this doesn’t allow overnight parking! The walk to the nearest pub (which is more than the 0.1 miles stated) is down a dangerous busy road with no pavement in places.

  The property is in a good location for walking and there is a friendly pub a short distance away.

  However, although the pub is close enough to walk to, it is potentially dangerous to do this in the dark due to lack of pavements and traffic. Parking at the Barn is very difficult. The driveway is too small to manouvere a car when other vehicles are parked - which was very often during our stay. It is also steeply sloping which adds to the problem. The property is generaly well appointed although the kitchen and fittings/appliances are quite old/tired. There is a steep stone staircase which would be difficult/dangerous for anyone with mobility problems or small children. We had problems with the heating system during our stay. Only some of the radiators were functioning. These were reported to the owner but were not rectified during our stay.
