This village is in peaceful countryside and has three churches and two pubs within a 5-minute walk, one which serves the award winning ales and the other serving good food. Just a 10-mile drive away is Bakewell, an attractive little market town retaining a delightful rural atmosphere and offering a good selection of shops, restaurants and pubs, as well as frequent local farmers’ markets.

Stunningly recently renovated cottage, decorated and furnished to a very high standard. Spotlessly clean interior with views of the beautiful Peak District hills to the rear of the property from the garden. A fully stocked kitchen with all the cooking essentials/utensils would need, the beds are super comfy also.Ian (the owner) checked on us on our arrival and again the night before departure and was extremely helpful & attentive. Two pubs within less than 2 minutes walking distance from your doorstep - one with a good selection of beers and award winning local cask beers (The Lamb Inn), the other (The Bulls Head), which also has received many awards for it's exquisite food, (the Sunday lunch was amazing!). A large Morrisons is around a 6/7 minute drive away which was also very handy.Holymoorside is a beautiful, peaceful little village where The Barn is located and within easy driving distance of the wonderful Buxton & Bakewell.A very somber drive home - we just did not want to leave :-(Cannot recommend this place highly enough and we definitely want to return. Huge credit to Ian in creating and maintaining this excellent holiday let. 11 stars out of 10. Perfect.

Had a really good time at the Barn. Ian the friendly owner who we met has made a really good job of the restoration. It is spotless and comfortable. The patio gets the sun all day perfect for breakfast and dinner outside. Easy to get to Matlock and Bakewell and Chatsworth. Bus stop two minutes away to Chesterfield. Lamb Inn Quz night on Tuesday very friendly and enjoyable. Would definitely recommend a stay at the Barn.
