Pipistrelle Barn is highly praised for its comfort, cleanliness, and stylish furnishings. Nestled in a tranquil village near a local pub, it's an ideal base for exploring the White Peaks. Guests appreciate the well-equipped facilities, the thoughtful touches by the host, and the property's cosy atmosphere. While some minor issues are mentioned, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.
Guests consistently describe the property as immaculately clean and beautifully maintained, indicating a very high standard of cleanliness.
The property is lauded for its peaceful location, proximity to local attractions, and a welcoming local pub. However, the lack of a nearby shop and some accessibility issues for walks slightly affect the score.
Reviewers find the cottage very comfortable, with special mentions of a cosy atmosphere and a comfortable bed, contributing to a high comfort level.
The barn is well-equipped and furnished to a high standard. Some guests experienced issues with heating control and a connecting door to the owner's property, which suggests room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
The host's thoughtfulness is frequently mentioned, with gestures like a birthday balloon and Prosecco. While such gifts are warmly received, they are personal touches and may not be a standard offering for all stays.
A superb little barn conversion in a really peaceful valley.
Hidden away in a peaceful little valley with countryside all around this is a lovely barn conversion that provides a brilliant holiday retreat. It has been beautifully decorated and furnished with lots of attention to detail. There is a lovely lounge and superbly equipped dining kitchen on the ground floor and the classy bedroom and modern shower room are on the lower ground floor. Outside you will find a great patio with furniture backing on to open fields together with private parking.
If you can bear to tear yourself away from this wonderful little cottage, then you’re in for a real treat. Being just down from the centre of Kniveton you’re not far from some fantastic local walks, including up to Madge Hill. A short drive away is Wirksworth, a magnet for lovers of history and heritage. Kniveton is only 3 miles away from the market town of Ashbourne, with more than two-hundred listed buildings, you’ll want to explore its fascinating history and architecture. Browse the country shores, antique shops and art galleries. A little further afield is Buxton and Bakewell - both great places to explore. Or visit the grand Chatsworth House, the historic Haddon Hall or grab a ride on the Peak Rail’s steam train.
When the day is done, return to Pipistrelle, open a bottle on the patio, put your feet up and just enjoy the evening sunshine.
