We loved our stay at The Barn - Marion and Mike were very welcoming and and made us feel at home during our stay. It was very clean, well equipped and a cosy place to relax; whilst also being in a great location for exploring the Peak District and Cheshire. There's plenty to do nearby, we enjoyed the local walks and wildlife (seeing a barn owl from the doorstep was a highlight) and our children loved watching the canal boats go through the locks in Marple. We highly recommend The Barn for couples and families.

We had a lovely holiday in this property. It was well equipped, and conveniently located for exploring the area. The wifi was good most of the time and Marion, the owner, was very helpful and quick to respond to any issues we had.
