Guests consistently note the property's immaculate condition, highlighting its spotlessness and well-maintained appearance, which contributes to a welcoming and comfortable stay.

The Barn's location in a working farm setting is appreciated for its authenticity and proximity to local attractions. Some guests noted the early farm activity, but this did not significantly detract from the overall positive experience.

The Barn is praised for its well-equipped facilities, including a games room and ample space for dining and activities. Some minor feedback on kitchen equipment and maintenance issues like a broken microwave and toilet roll holders are noted.

About this property

Nestled on a working dairy farm on the fringes of the beautiful Peak District National Park, where you have a series of pastimes such as walking and cycling to indulge, is this well-appointed barn conversion. The Barn offers large families and groups of friends the chance to escape to the country and find a relaxing base to return to, after trying out all the outdoor activities this fascinating region has to offer. With underfloor heating throughout the ground level and a woodburning stove adding additional warmth to the sitting room, this cosy dwelling is just what you need to unwind into your evening. The kitchen is fully equipped with many helpful appliances to hand, as well as a breakfast island and a large dining area, elevated by the exposed ceiling beams, adding character to the space. The ground floor is also well-appointed for those less able on their feet, with a double and single room served by the family bathroom, where you can indulge in a hot shower on return from a walk. You can find yourself a quiet corner somewhere and enjoy a good book with a hot beverage and there is also a study/desk space upstairs on the landing, for anyone who wants to bring their laptop and get a bit of work done while they are away. Further along the corridor is a children's play area, with a selection of games to keep them entertained for hours. Retire to one of the well-presented bedrooms to catch your rest, then wake up to a refreshing shower each morning, with a choice of bathrooms ensuring you don't have to queue. To the exterior of this fabulous abode are two seating areas within an enclosed garden, one accessed via the sitting room, where you can sit out with a drink and soak up a crisp afternoon. Alternatively, spend an evening in the games room, which is housed within an external building in the garden, where you can get competitive over the table football or a round Head into Wirksworth for a selection of independent shops, local pubs and places to eat, stroll through its maze of ancient 'ginnels' or 'jitties' and find yourself at the Heritage Centre, which houses the town's museum collections. You can also head out to Haddon Hall and Chatsworth House to step back in time and delve into a world of history, and truly make the most of this fabulous location near the Peak District. The Barn at Lane Head Farm offers something for everyone to enjoy! Note: this property can be booked with Ref:1017565, together they can sleep a total of 16 guests.

    The barn was perfect for our college reunion. Warm, well equipped and beautifully decorated- and in a beautiful location. Already booked for next year!

    We will certainly return!

  • Clare

    It was a great property, perfect for what we wanted, in particular the open plan kitchen and dining room. We went out for short walks on both Saturday and Sunday which was enjoyable. Everyone commented on what a lovely place it was. Thanks also for the cake!
