A well equipped and comfortable holiday home with lots of places nearby to visit. The local pub does delicious food which we would recommend. The goats and donkeys are a bonus. Another lovely break in a beautiful part of the country.

The accommodation and it's contents were perfect for our needs as a family of 3 generations with plenty of space both indoors and outdoors. My daughter loved visiting the donkeys, goats and horse every afternoon and I was happy that the yard was safe for her to be out on her own. The owners are really helpful and friendly and always happy to help or offer advice if needed. Perfect for visiting Derbyshire.

Dover Barn was perfect for us. Couldn't fault it. We had a problem with the TV which Tom showed us how to re-boot. The cottage was so clean and comfortable. The setting is idyllic. Just loved seeing the donkeys and goats every day. Loved, loved, this holiday
