Just returned from a three night break in the barn. It was amazing, so big yet cosy, very clean and every item you could possibly need. A lovely touch was the wine, cakes, cheese etc left as a welcome gift. Good location with the Tissington Trail close by and charming Hartington just up the road. We would definitely recommend it. Thank you to our hosts.

The cottage was gorgeous and well stocked. We had a minor problem with the WiFi and the host came over straight away to sort it out. The location is perfect country get away with the village of Hartington nearby.

Very well prepared for our arrival. Neat, clean and tidy with some nice welcoming goodies left out too!The owners were extremely helpful when, through no fault of their own, water supply to the area was temporarily suspended, providing bottled water quickly.
