Just returned from a three night break in the barn. It was amazing, so big yet cosy, very clean and every item you could possibly need. A lovely touch was the wine, cakes, cheese etc left as a welcome gift. Good location with the Tissington Trail close by and charming Hartington just up the road. We would definitely recommend it. Thank you to our hosts.
