We spent a few days in January at this lovely barn. we couldn't fault it. On arrival it was lovely and warm and had all the home comforts you could wish for. we brought out 2 dogs and a bed and bowls were even left out. we spent a lovely night across the road in a lovely pub the horse and jockey, where we had a meal in front of the log fire. we also went to the Italian restaurant, Sal's which was only a minute walk away, food was lovely. we had a drive to local walks and also went to Buxton and Bakewell which were only a 15 minute drive away. If you are looking for a lovely village retreat we would definitely recommend staying in Tideswell, Bankfield Barn.
