We had a wonderful week in this lovely barn. The weather was terrible, lots of things were shut, it was too wet to walk. Perfect.Lovely, friendly village miles from anywhere. If you want a complete break as a couple you couldn't really ask for more

We had a wonderful time here, walking the amazing surrounding countryside and then resting in the cosy barn conversion. The owners were lovely and helpful. The place felt private, quiet and relaxing & the local pub a few minutes walk away was welcoming from Staff & Locals. The walk between the village and Tissington via the valley and small stream crossing was lovely (Part of the Limestone way). Thank you for letting us stay.

Super little cottage in a lovely quaint Derbyshire village. Judith, the owner, was very hospitable and helpful.Great location for visiting the local attractions with most being no more than a 30 minute drive.
