This cottage is cosy, so well thought out in terms of functionality, and has everything anyone can possibly need. It's location is stunning, and access to walking trails and interesting places to visit close by. The owners are delightful and helpful, very unobtrusive but available should one need anything. In 25 years of ECC bookings, this is the only place I have stayed where the kitchen knives have been sharpened!!! Fantastic! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

One of the most generously equipped cottages in which we’ve stayed. None of this “one low quality loo roll for the week” nonsense. Plenty of exactly what you don’t want to be buying yourself upon arrival – washing up liquid, scourer, bubble bath etc. Great location on the edge of the National Park, with an astounding view. Excellent hosts, and very cosy and homely. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

We're a family of 4 with two young boys (7 and 4) and we all thoroughly enjoyed our three night stay at The Old Byre in August. We fount the cottage to be well equipped and spotlessly clean which was a welcome touch in these pandemic times. The owners were very kind and welcoming, and made us feel at home from the start. The cottage is at the top of a hill with very nice views and perfectly positioned to enjoy the sunset. Great place to stay and definitely recommended!

Lovely cottage, very thoughtfully laid out, with comfortable beds and furniture, a well appointed kitchen and bathroom, and a sheltered outside seating area with fabulous views over the valley. The owners live in the nearby farmhouse, are very friendly and willing to chat, but always left us to ourselves unless we approached them. We will definitely be back.

This cottage is fine if the weather is fine.

This cottage is fine if the weather is fine. Unfortunately the weather was awful raining almost very day, with cool temperatures. Nothing the owners could do about that but it meant the magnificent view from the cottage was obscured more often than not by low cloud.

Cosy and convenient

We stayed here for a week during May. 2 adults and 2 children with a dog. The cottage was clean and welcoming on our arrival, complete with a plate of shortbread! Just the right size for us and convenient for all the sights of the Peak District. Everything we needed was available and our hosts were lovely. Thank you!
