Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage generally appears to be well-kept, with guests commenting on its cleanliness. However, there are mentions of a need for refreshment and some unclean items, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is highly praised for its beauty, convenience, and proximity to local amenities and attractions. It is described as a perfect base for exploring the Peaks, contributing to a high score.
Guests find the beds and sofa very comfortable, and the underfloor heating adds to the cosiness. Some guests, however, found the ground floor hard and the seating less comfortable, which affects the score.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-appointed kitchen and heating system. However, guests noted issues with parking, slippery stairs, and the need for better instructions and maintenance of appliances, leading to a moderate score.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the host. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.
About this property
Nestled in an idyllic position within a wildflower meadow with sheep and ponies grazing to the door, is this sympathetically renovated, detached barn, Columbine Barn. Set over two floors, this welcoming home is perfect for families and groups of friends looking to come together and enjoy this rural region, accessing the scenic splendour of the Peak District National Park. After parking up in the allocated off-road spaces, take a moment to appreciate the tranquil setting with a deep breath of fresh air. Discover the open-plan living space, boasting contemporary décor and well-presented fittings, here you can discuss plans for the next adventure or tune into the TV for some evening entertainment. Allow the chef of the group to relish in the kitchen, utilising an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, freezer and dishwasher amongst the appliances. A dining bench is ideal for dinner times, while to the outside is a picnic bench, perfect for lunches in the sunshine. Wander upstairs to find the bedrooms, both laced with character and hosting a double bed and adult bunk. Oak furnishings and overhead wooden beams bring an almost traditional feel to this space, while the contemporary shower room with rainfall shower is where you can prepare for the day. When you’re ready to explore, from the doorstep there are footpaths including the Bradwell to Brough and Bradwell Edge routes, while the historic Derbyshire village of Bradwell contains clusters of traditional cottages and character houses, many of which date from the 18th to 19th centuries. There’s also three charming pubs, the Ye Olde Bowling Green Inn, the White Hart Inn and the Shoulder of Mutton, each offering their own character and charm, along with an ice cream shop selling the famous Bradwell Ice Cream, produced in the village since 1899. Explore Castleton further, home to interesting remnants of Peveril Castle, as well as a range of bars and stores to sample; walkers, bikers, and motorists may also enjoy the joys of Winnats Pass. Should exploration take you further afield, the Peak District is a haven for walkers, cyclists and anyone looking to make the most of the stunning scenery and all that the area has to offer. Columbine Barn is a peaceful retreat for a relaxing escape to the Peak District.
Bradwell is a village in the Hope Valley, situated in the Peak District National Park. Hosting shops, pubs and restaurants this location makes an excellent holiday base.

Got stuck in the mud at one point! Need more gravel down. Otherwise a lovely property, good location in edge of village. Lots to do in the area.

Only feedback Iâd give would be another toilet/bathroom space due to how many it sleeps and better parking.
