We had a great time on our visit.It is off the beaten track for sure but if you want peace and quiet it's great, and the views are spectacular.The kitchen is well equipped and we cooked mostly at the cottage having bought our ingredients at the Aldi located just outside Buxton. The Cheshire Cheese in Longnor did excellent good value meals when my son and partner visited for dinner.We would definitely visit again!

Ou host Hannah was lovely, welcoming and very helpful. The barn is comfortable, well equipped, clean and warm. All bedrooms had ensuite bathrooms so no queuing. There are so many walks from the door of the barn and lots of interesting places to visit nearby.
