Barn View is a beautifully presented and spacious cottage, praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and peaceful setting. Guests appreciate the enclosed garden, ideal for dogs, and the convenient location for exploring Derbyshire and local amenities. The property is well-equipped, with thoughtful touches and friendly, helpful hosts. While a few minor maintenance and equipment issues were noted, these did not detract from the overwhelmingly positive experience. Many guests would happily return and recommend Barn View to others.
Cleanliness is consistently highlighted, with numerous guests describing the cottage as spotless, tidy, and well-maintained. Only a couple of minor comments were made about cobwebs and a limescaled kettle, but these were exceptions rather than the rule.
The location is highly praised for its peacefulness, proximity to local attractions, walks, and amenities such as farm shops and supermarkets. A few guests mentioned the cottage's position near a road, but this was not a major concern for most.
Guests found the cottage very comfortable, with cosy furnishings, spacious rooms, and comfortable beds. A few personal preferences regarding mattress firmness and warmth upstairs were mentioned, but overall comfort is a strong point.
Facilities are generally excellent, with a well-equipped kitchen, two bathrooms, and quality fixtures. Some guests noted missing kitchen essentials, minor maintenance issues, and occasional WiFi problems, but these were outweighed by the positives.
Many guests appreciated thoughtful touches such as milk and biscuits on arrival and festive decorations at Christmas. Please note that such gifts or extras are not guaranteed for every stay. Hosts are frequently described as friendly and helpful.

I've given this 5 star because on the whole it is. I had a few personal thoughts but they shouldn't detract from renting the property. You are quite close to other properties, but it has access to lovely walks that take you over fields and into the town, so great for dog walking. Plenty dog friendly cafes. The double bed for me was too soft and I have a disc issue, but as I say that's a personal preference. The kitchen is fully equipped best I've seen in a while, but unfortunately the kettle was heavily limescaled so we used a pan, didn't want to make a fuss and probably an over sight. The warmth at this time of year was the best, we came armed with hot water bottles but didn't need to use them, infact we turned the heating off at one point. Very comfortable to be in for the week, lots of comfortable sofas, yet again best we've had and good sized TVs. Used the jacuzzi bath after a long walk and it did the job! Good shower pressure aswell 👍

Fab to access the Derbyshire countryside. Very comfortable. Could do with some good size drinking glasses for water and squash.

Enjoyed our stay l think they should say that the accommodation is right next to the road even though it is not a busy one also you are overlooked when sitting in the back garden There were no fans to keep you cool and there was no umbrella for the patio so could not sit out in the hot bright sunThere was plenty of room inside and comfortable but because right near a road would not go there again
