Stable Barn is highly praised for its cosy and comfortable atmosphere, set in the tranquil and picturesque village of Wetton. Guests appreciate the warm welcome from the owner and the property's cleanliness. Its location is ideal for countryside walks and visiting local attractions like Thors Cave. While some minor issues with Wi-Fi and early morning farm activities are noted, the overall experience is one of a delightful country retreat with a touch of rustic charm.

Guests consistently mention the cleanliness of Stable Barn, describing it as spotless and well-kept. The fresh linen and tidy environment contribute to the high score in this category.

The location is frequently highlighted as a strong point, with its quiet, rural setting ideal for walks and proximity to local attractions. The peaceful village and scenic surroundings are well-regarded by guests.

Comfort is a recurring theme in the reviews, with guests finding the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy and warm. Some mention the property being well-equipped, adding to the overall comfort.

Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and adequate heating. However, some guests noted dated cooking utensils and issues with Wi-Fi, which slightly lower the score.

About this property

This is a delightful little semi-detached barn conversion, on the owners’ working livestock farm on the edge of the very pretty Peak District village of Wetton. On arrival, enter into the practical kitchen, complete with a dining table for enjoying a tasty evening meal. Two steps down from the kitchen is a cosy sitting room, with stone windowsills and a full-length window looking out over the village, while completing this welcoming room is a warming woodburner-effect electric fire. The staircase leads directly from the sitting room, arriving firstly at the cosy twin bedroom. Then, take another three steps to the shower room and double bedroom to the left, again with a window for gazing out over the village. There is plenty of parking available and a front courtyard with a bench makes a lovely spot for a coffee in the sun. Wetton itself is a lovely little village, with a good pub serving food. From Wetton, there are many varied things to explore, starting with a network of footpaths and the Dove and Manifold Valleys, which also have great cycle routes. Thor’s Cave offers an exciting opportunity for exploration and also has amazing views from the prow. The village of Hartington is just five miles away, with a traditional village feel and a range of shops and places to eat. Alton Towers is also less than half an hour's drive away, making Stable Barn just the place to enjoy the wide choice of different attractions the Peak District has on offer!

Wetton is situated in an elevated position at the most westerly extent of the Chatsworth estate in the Peak District National Park. Located off the beaten track, the village boasts a fine old inn and a 14th century church.

    On arrival we were greeted by Lindsay who couldn’t do enough for us. There was fresh milk, tea, coffee and biscuits waiting for us too. The cottage was clean, warm and cozy with a well stocked kitchen. Cracking pub in the village and just a mile from the beautiful Thors cave. Just make sure you do a food shop first as the nearest shop if 5 miles away!

    The cottage was warm, cosy and had everything we needed. The owners made us feel very welcome. We hope to come back again one day. It is a beautiful area. Thank you for a lovely stay! The Aston family.
