Guests frequently mention the property being 'spotlessly clean' and 'immaculate', indicating high standards of cleanliness. One minor note on dust during yoga suggests room for improvement, but overall, the reviews are overwhelmingly positive in this category.

The property's location is described as 'beautiful', 'peaceful', and 'convenient for walks and local towns'. It offers stunning countryside views and is close to attractions, making it an ideal spot for nature lovers and those seeking tranquility.

Comfort is a highlight, with guests praising the 'super comfy beds and bedding' and 'comfortable interior'. There is a mention of beds being small for taller individuals, but overall, the sentiment is that the property provides a very comfortable stay.

Facilities like the hot tub, trampoline, and well-equipped kitchens are well-received. Some guests suggest improvements such as sharper knives and more robust outdoor furniture. The presence of a hot tub is a recurring positive aspect, although there are minor maintenance suggestions.

About this property

Situated between the villages of Winster and Youlgreave in the quaint hamlet of Gratton Dale, and nestled amongst the rural countryside of the Peak District on the grounds of Dale End Farm, rests this wonderful single-storey Cowshed conversion. With five bedrooms sleeping 10 guests, this pet-friendly accommodation in the Peak District is a superb base for a large group or family getaway! You'll find off-road parking to unload your luggage and get your holiday started. The Cowshed conversion is a combination of two cottages, both with thoughtfully laid out, open-plan living spaces, equipped with a kitchen, dining area and sitting area. Prepare your best home-cooked dinners with the excellent facilities, including an electric oven and hob, microwave and fridge, ready to be served at the dining table while you plan your Peak District adventures! Sink into the sofas and snuggle up with your loved ones in front of the TV, but if the evening's still warm, why not step out into your own private garden? There's outdoor seating to kick back with a glass of wine and enjoy the gorgeous views of rolling hills and the resident animals. After muddy walks through the surrounding countryside, throw your gear into the handy washing machines, before freshening up in the contemporary shower room or bathroom, depending on your preference. Each bedroom has been beautifully presented with storage space and relaxation in mind; choose between a double or zip/link twin with a TV, or a double with en-suite shower room, another double with TV, and a twin with TV. Resting on the grounds of the family-run, 17th-century Dale End Farmhouse, there are many attractions within easy reach of The Old Cowsheds; nearby you'll find the National Trust's Winster Market House and Nine Stones Close Stone Circle. If you fancy a break from the kitchen, dine out at the delightful Bulls Head Youlgeave or Manners Bakewell, The Miners in Carsington or pick up essentials at the Winster Village Shop. Further afield lies the impressive stately home of Chatsworth House with its expansive gardens offering a labyrinth, farm park, and temple. Pick up the famed pudding in Bakewell and stroll along the River Wye to Bakewell Bridge, or if you're looking for more adventure, the fascinating caverns of Speedwell and Blue John in Castleton are sure to please historians and thrill seekers. Be sure to pack your walking boots to explore The Dale, which offers stunning scenery along its trail, simply breath-taking! For a home away from home in the heart of the Peaks, choose The Old Cowsheds.

Settled amongst the rolling countryside of the Peak District National Park rests the pleasant conservation village of Winster. Beautifully-adorned with a 17th-century market house at its heart, towering buildings and winding alleyways, Winster offers an idyllic rural escape. A shop and two pubs offer all of the essential amenities to visitors, whilst a wider variety of choice can be found in nearby Bakewell or Matlock.

    The host was welcoming and generous, the property was clean and well equipped and the location was stunning. Would definitely recommend.

  • Wayne

    Nice and quiet for a relaxing weekend. The owner was very helpful with his recommendation's. Immaculate inside and out. Would not hesitate for a return stay, (only longer next time). We were a party of ten and everyone had the same opinion. Many Thanks. Wayne

  • Rheema

    We were a party of 9 with a dog and found the space comfortable and relaxing. The surrounding farm and animals were a joy to watch each morning. The setup if fabulous with the ability to all be together or be off by yourself for a bit. Little touches like the hot tub towels really made life easy so much appreciated. The local walks were also great with very little traffic. Having a 5 year old with lots of energy we felt extremely safe both at the cow sheds and when out and about. We would highly recommend this property and look forward to returning soon
