  It’s a lovely property which was let down by some issues.

  Plus it’s not really practical for bigger families. Issues: heating wasn’t turned on when we arrived. There was no hot water for showers in the evening or the following morning. When we asked for the heating to be turned up this was then fixed for the rest of the stay. Maintenance had missed replacing a smoke alarm battery and this went off all night on our last night. Some of the pans and utensils were very tired. We left some out for replacement. Practicality- there is only one (difficult) parking space. We were told to park in the nearby pay and display public car park, but this doesn’t allow overnight parking! The walk to the nearest pub (which is more than the 0.1 miles stated) is down a dangerous busy road with no pavement in places.

  The property is in a good location for walking and there is a friendly pub a short distance away.

  However, although the pub is close enough to walk to, it is potentially dangerous to do this in the dark due to lack of pavements and traffic. Parking at the Barn is very difficult. The driveway is too small to manouvere a car when other vehicles are parked - which was very often during our stay. It is also steeply sloping which adds to the problem. The property is generaly well appointed although the kitchen and fittings/appliances are quite old/tired. There is a steep stone staircase which would be difficult/dangerous for anyone with mobility problems or small children. We had problems with the heating system during our stay. Only some of the radiators were functioning. These were reported to the owner but were not rectified during our stay.

  We enjoyed our stay.

  The Barn is a lovely character property, which was clean and well appointed. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and the kitchen had everything we needed to cater for 7 people. The living room is the area that lets the property down. There are 2 sofas, which sat 6 people snugly or 5 people more easily - a shame for a property that accommodates 8 people! One sofa also seemed to be missing the back cushions and wasn't particularly comfy. Otherwise, the area is beautiful and the location next to the Monsal Trail was ideal for us.

  The Barn is a beautiful traditional property full of character in the lovely Miller’s Dale.

  Each room is cosy, warm and welcoming. Beds are very comfortable. Good quality bed linen and towels. Kitchen is well stocked for those wishing to self cater. Short walk to a traditional country pub which served good value meals for all the family. Owner provided torches for the walk home after dark which was a thoughtful extra. Directions were thorough making it easy to find the Barn. Short drive to many beautiful places within the peaks making it a great base. We enjoyed our stay & are looking forward to our next visit! Thank you

  We absolutely loved The Barn.

  Other reviews talked about steep stairs, they're not steep and childrens gates are provided. Someone else mentioned the pans and crockery was tired and old, we found it was perfect. Ignore negative comments on other reviews, we had a wonderful time. The local area is fab and when we got back from a walk relaxing in the two tier garden was brilliant. If you need one reason to visit it should be the size of the en-suite bathrooms downstairs. Bigger than our bedroom at home!
