Guests say

Lathkill Barn is appreciated for its cleanliness, welcoming atmosphere, and excellent location, offering a perfect base for exploring the Peak District. Guests enjoy the presence of animals on the farm and the comfort of the beds. Some concerns were raised about maintenance issues and the need for updates, particularly regarding the shower size and secure outdoor areas for dogs.

The property is generally praised for its cleanliness, with guests finding it very clean and comfortable. However, there were comments about dog waste in shared areas and flies, which slightly affected the score.

The location is highly regarded, being close to Bakewell and Chatsworth, with beautiful scenery and a working farm environment. The rural setting and proximity to attractions contribute to a high score.

Guests find the beds comfortable and the barn cosy, but there are several mentions of inadequate seating, a small shower, and noisy floorboards, which suggests room for improvement in overall comfort.

Facilities are adequate but several maintenance issues such as leaks, damp patches, and the need for better lighting have been noted. The presence of farm dogs and their behaviour also impacted this score.

There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, aside from the owner's prompt response to issues. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

A charming little market town with a charming rural ambiance with a variety of stores, restaurants, and bars, as well as local farmer's markets. In close proximity to the old market hall from the 17th century is a modern recreation centre with a swimming pool. Bakewell is conveniently situated within the Peak District National Park for exploring this wonderful region. Both the rocky Dark Peak and the gentler limestone White Peak are easily accessible, as is Britain's premier amusement park, Alton Towers. Stately homes such as Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall and Hardwick Hall are just a few of the many that can be visited, as are the impressive caverns in nearby Castleton and the resting place of Little John in nearby Hathersage. The spectacular Edwardian Opera House in Buxton was created by Frank Matcham, who also designed the London Palladium.

    Clean, comfortable and friendly hosts. Few minutes out of Bakewell Town with excellent facilities.

  • Andrew

    The cottage itself was very comfortable and clean and quite spacious.The owners were very welcoming and pleasant and made us feel at home.one slight issue was the gate at the back in the garden section could do with something to cover the lower part off the gate as our little chi managed to escape underneath it.will definitely visit again,very pleased with everything.
