Guests say
Bailey's Barn in Matlock is a well-received holiday cottage, praised for its cleanliness, high-spec design, and dog-friendly amenities. Guests appreciate the peaceful location, thoughtful touches, and the cosy, well-organised space. While the steep, narrow access roads and the need to drive to local amenities are noted, the property's charm, comfort, and the owners' hospitality contribute to a highly recommended rural retreat.
The property consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews noting it as 'very clean' and 'spotlessly clean', indicating meticulous maintenance.
The location is appreciated for its peacefulness and proximity to countryside walks, though some guests mention challenges with accessibility and the need to drive to amenities.
Guests find the cottage comfortable and cosy, with a well-thought-out design that maximises space. The presence of a log burner adds to the comfort level, although a few guests noted it could feel cold at times.
The barn is described as well-appointed and well-maintained, with a high standard of furnishings. However, some guests suggested improvements like a permanent table and noted the small size for larger dogs.
Many reviews mention thoughtful gestures such as welcome gifts for both dogs and humans, which contribute to the positive experience. However, it should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and not guaranteed.
