Our 4th visit, as good as it ever was
What can I say, Barbara is excellent, the location is perfect. This was our 4th visit, and every bit as enjoyable as the rest.

3 night break
We are a group of 4 adults, one child and one toddler. We had a lovely time in this very peaceful location and would definitely return. It was good that some toys were provided for the children. But beware the small step down into the kitchen, as it takes some getting used to!

A wonderful stay
We had a lovely break in this beautiful accommodation. The barn was stylish and comfy and the views an sunsets to die for. Lots to do and see around, and some lovely traditional inns to eat and replenish. Ray and Barbara are so nice. They made us so welcome and the homemade flapjacks were delicious. My 6 year old granddaughter really enjoyed herself here and Ray and Barbara are her new best friends. We will return for longer next time

Weekend walking break
I can thoroughly recommend this accommodation. Barbara was welcoming, thoughtful and helpful. It was a cold weekend, and we arrived to the log burner having been lit, a warm toasty house, fresh flowers and homemade cakes. The house was spacious, spotlessly clean, comfortable and well equipped. The views of the Roaches from the back windows are beautiful, as are the dark skies. There are footpaths right on the doorstep so that we could explore the countryside. I would definitely return.

Another brilliant Thanksgiving Weekend
This is the third time that we have stayed at Troutsdale for our family gathering around the time of Thanksgiving. It is perfect for us as we can rent both properties for the weekend and get all our family together. Barbara, Ray and Kathryn are very welcoming and do everything they can to make our stay comfortable. The area is really interesting with lots of good walking at the nearby reservoir which also has a brilliant cafe. We will certainly be returning.

About the host

Hosted by Mrs Barbara Turnock

Host profile image
We moved to Troutsdale Farm when we started our married life together - its such beautiful location by Tittesworth Reservoir in the South West Peak District area - and area of outstanding natural beauty and one we really love and appreciate. We started farming here together in 1971 when it was a rented farm from Severn Trent Water Authority (they owned the land around the Reservoir) - never thinking that we would one day we would be able to own it - but in our 60's we were offered the chance to buy it .... so we bought 'home'..... it s very much our home and we treat our holiday cottage guests as being your home to. We raised 4 daughters here and we know how precious time away can be - it takes some organising when you have to leave a farm for week! - so to us it is the little things that count also - we like to make sure it is how we would like to have found it after a long journey with 4 daughters - clean!

Why they chose this property

When we first thought about converting the barns we wanted to keep as much of the character and agricultural heritage as possible - we wanted you to have a 'barn feel experience' but with all modern conveniences too..... and a bit of luxury.
These 2 cottages - have the most amazing views of The Roaches - something we never get bored of throughout the seasons - everyone that comes says 'Wow.... that view is special' .... and you can enjoy from the cottage window, or the garden with a BBQ overlooking our wildflower meadow too.

What makes this property unique

We just love these buildings - we wanted to still retain that barn feel and the agricultural heritage inside - yet all the modern amenities we would want in a quality accommodation if we were going away with our 4 daughters. We wanted to create somewhere special .... for special stays - by it being a unique 'barn experience' and for you to enjoy all the wood, stone and brick features inside - so many children say 'wow' when they walk in through the door - it is lovely to hear.

You can enjoy the peace and quiet of the area - yet within a short distance there really is so much and such a wide variety of things to do.

The Peak District views are amazing from the farm - and from the cottage gardens there is near 180 degrees panoramic views - Gun Hill to the left, the iconic "Roaches" Rocks infront and Morridge Hill to the right. We are so easy to find off the main road, yet once down our drive it is peaceful and secluded but not isolated. The doorstep footpath walks are great - and we enjoy walk going with the Grandchildren down to Tittesworth Reservoir - takes us about 30 minutes to walk - its is fields footpaths (and a tiny section of minor road to cross/walk) where they love the great children's play area or walk around the nature trail around Tittesworth Reservoir - all with great views - oh and getting an icecream or something to eat at the Cafe - and the old grandchildren now enjoy paddleboard and canoeing too on the waters.

Turn left a the end of our drive and you are on a straight through road to Buxton - lovely spa town, with beautiful Peak District views on the way, and only about 15 minutes drive away too.

Turn right at the end of our drive and within 5 minutes you are into the historic market town of Leek with its farmers and makers markets and independent shops as well as major supermarkets etc
