An amazing house, everything spotlessly clean. With lots of great little touches even a soft bed for the dog.

A wonderful spacious barn very tastefully converted with all you need for a happy gathering. The owners live across the road and are lovely, friendly and helpful. Very doggy friendly with a secure garden. There might be sheep in the next door field. It is a working dairy farm but there was no excessive noise to cause us disturbance . Local walks and lots of NT places of interest and the Peak District on the doorstep. Couldn’t ask for more.

Wow! Absolutely amazing place to stay. Couldn’t fault anything from the highly responsive host, to the immaculate barn. Everything has been so well thought out, the barn is decorated and restored to the highest standard, the grounds are spotless too. This isn’t a basic holiday rental it’s one that that’s build and maintained with a lot of love and attention to detail. If you’re looking for somewhere in a quiet location, with plenty of space and a luxury feel this is it. We stayed as a group or 8 adults and there was plenty of space for us all. I’m hoping to return with my teenage kids because I know they would love it. I’ve stayed in many holiday rentals and this is easily number 1. Thanks so much for being a fantastic host!
