Guests say
Barn View is a highly praised cottage, appreciated for its cleanliness, comfort, and excellent location. Guests commend its spaciousness, well-equipped kitchen, and enclosed garden, ideal for dogs. The property is noted for its proximity to local attractions and amenities, making it a great base for exploring the Peak District. The homely feel and peaceful setting contribute to its charm, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
Guests consistently describe the cottage as clean and tidy, with several reviews highlighting its spotless condition. One review mentioned cobwebs, but this appears to be an isolated comment amidst overall high praise for cleanliness.
The location is frequently lauded for being excellent, quiet, and central to local attractions like Matlock, Bakewell, and historic houses. Its proximity to amenities and the countryside is also appreciated, although no specific negative comments provide a contrast.
Many reviews mention the cottage's comfort, describing it as warm, cozy, and homely. The spacious living areas and comfortable furnishings are noted. However, one review cited an uncomfortable double bed and patchy WiFi, slightly impacting the score.
Facilities are generally well-received, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and two bathrooms. Some guests noted a lack of certain kitchen essentials and minor maintenance issues, such as a dodgy toilet seat and shower screen, which suggests room for improvement.
While many reviews express satisfaction with the overall experience, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.
