The barn is a great place, very well converted with amazing stone and woodwork features. The obviously hand-made fitted kitchen is a tribute to the craftsman that fitted it. There is everything and more that you need for a stay of any length. The location is excellent for local walks and all the interesting places to visit in Derbyshire. Thoroughly recommended.

We had a wonderful stay. Everything we needed was there. The owners were lovely and my 4 year old grandson chatted to them daily.The carpentry work and granite set the property in another class.We were well out in the countryside so there were no amenities in walking distance. We had a Tesco delivery on our day of arrival and went out in our vehicle every day.We loved our stay and have no worries in recommending Freebirch Barn to other users.
