Snaptrip says
Lathkill Barn is praised for its cleanliness, comfortable beds, and being a perfect base for exploring the Peak District. The presence of farm animals adds a quaint charm, though some guests noted issues with farm dogs. The property's location near Bakewell is appreciated, but there are suggestions for improved privacy and dog security.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests generally find the barn very clean, with specific compliments on its tidiness. However, concerns about dog waste in shared areas slightly affect the score.
The location is highly regarded for its proximity to Bakewell and local attractions. The rural setting on a working farm is a highlight, though the associated country smells and flies are noted.
The barn boasts a very comfortable bed, but there are several mentions of inadequate seating comfort and noisy floorboards. The small shower space also detracts from the overall comfort.
Facilities are deemed basic but adequate, with some maintenance issues like a leaking sink and creaking floorboards. The need for better lighting and storage is mentioned, as well as concerns about the dogs' behaviour.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

A charming little market town with a charming rural ambiance with a variety of stores, restaurants, and bars, as well as local farmer's markets. In close proximity to the old market hall from the 17th century is a modern recreation centre with a swimming pool. Bakewell is conveniently situated within the Peak District National Park for exploring this wonderful region. Both the rocky Dark Peak and the gentler limestone White Peak are easily accessible, as is Britain's premier amusement park, Alton Towers. Stately homes such as Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall and Hardwick Hall are just a few of the many that can be visited, as are the impressive caverns in nearby Castleton and the resting place of Little John in nearby Hathersage. The spectacular Edwardian Opera House in Buxton was created by Frank Matcham, who also designed the London Palladium.

The shower is so small you can hardly turn around in it The shared outside area is not the best, could do with enclosing better so dogs cant escape Could do with new pans for the kitchen as they are very worn

The shower is way too small, my husband had to leave the shower door open because there was not enough room to close the door !! Also for 4 people there was not enough storage to put things away. Very disappointed. The 3 farm dogs were so agressive ,one actually attacked our dog and if the owner wasn't there to pull him off then it could have been an awful situation. They were able to get into the so called secure garden and 4 times they did poos, which we refused to pick up!! So you had to watch where you were walking. We couldn't open windows upstairs and the locks on the double doors going out to the garden need looking at. Also no long handled brush to use, we certainly weren't hoping to get down and brush with the dustpan and brush. Nearly all the places we've stayed in leave a drop of milk when you arrive. It's a nice touch. The owner seemed very nice and it's situated in a really good place .but we wouldn't stay there again.
