Tawny Owl Barn receives glowing praise for its beautiful, well-equipped cottage, peaceful location, and welcoming hosts. Guests consistently highlight the immaculate cleanliness, comfort, and excellent facilities, including a popular hot tub and thoughtful touches throughout. The property is ideally situated for exploring the Peak District, with scenic walks and a friendly local pub nearby. Hosts are frequently described as attentive and helpful, making guests feel at home. Occasional minor issues, such as cottage temperature or hot tub chlorine, are far outweighed by the overwhelmingly positive experiences. This cottage is highly recommended for a relaxing and memorable stay.
Multiple reviews specifically mention the cottage being spotlessly clean, immaculate, and well maintained. No negative comments regarding cleanliness were found.
The location is repeatedly praised as peaceful, beautiful, and ideal for walks and exploring the Peak District. Proximity to local pubs and attractions is highlighted as a major benefit.
Guests describe the cottage as comfortable, cosy, and a home away from home. While one or two mention the cottage being a little cool, this is offset by the log burner and overall comfort.
Facilities such as the hot tub, well-equipped kitchen, games/DVD store, and dog-friendly amenities are frequently praised. One guest noted an extra charge for the hot tub, but this was clearly stated in the small print.
Many guests mention thoughtful touches such as milk in the fridge, robes, Christmas decorations, and even a bottle of Prosecco for a birthday. While these gestures are appreciated, please note that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.
Tawny Owl Barn is perfect for relaxing in beautiful surroundings, actively exploring the Peak District or visiting many of the tourist attractions in the area..

We had a lovely break at this cottage which is in the perfect place for us to catch up with friends and family. The property is very comfortable in a peaceful location ideal for exploring the Peak District and a short walk from the local dog friendly pub which I can highly recommend. We hope to return.

A beautiful cottage with character, idyllic surroundings and a quick 10 minute journey to Bakewell. My family, children and dog included, loved our stay here. Karen and Mike were really friendly and helpful and the hot tub and enclosed field to exercise the dog and children was perfect. This made a special 40th birthday celebration very special.

A fantastic cottage with all of the amenities, the hot tub was a bonus. Mike was on hand via a phone call if needed, but everything was great. Close to all National trust parks etc and a local pub a 5 minute walk away, what more could you want. Thanks Mike and Karen.
