What an amazing place to stay. The accommodation had everything we needed and was clean and welcoming and the views were on another level! The location was perfect for exploring the Peak District and we managed to fit so much into just 2 days. The host Jo was kind and helpful and we would definitely recommend staying here.

We are replacing the window on Monday, we have been waiting for a space in the calendar to fit it in. Our water has a high iron content and can leave a mark on the porcelain, we make a very big effort to remove it. I would off been happy to explain.

The property was perfect in every way, very spacious and well equipped with amazing views from the terrace . The property is very rural but not far from attractions and plenty of pubs/restaurants within a 10 minute drive. Jo the host was very welcoming and informative. A bonus was there is an EV charger at the property. We would highly recommend the property.

This may be an old barn but it has been beautifully renovated and is a spacious, comfortable and cosy place to stay while in the Peak District. It is in a stunning location and Jo made us feel very welcome and was very helpful throughout our stay.
