The accommodation is seriously impressive. There's two massive family rooms (each with a double and three singles plus en-suites), a 4' double, adult bunks and even a single sofa bed on the landing. The kitchen would make a chef weep with joy - gas range, electric oven and American-style fridge/freezer. The dining table seats 16 people - Christmas dinner sorted!
Alton Towers is practically on your doorstep (15 minutes drive), while Chatsworth House (30 minutes), Peak Wildlife Park (20 minutes) and the Churnet Valley steam trains (15 minutes) offer fantastic day trips. Kids will go wild for the theme park rides while adults appreciate the stunning scenery.
Bottomhouse Barn delivers big-time on group holidays. The hot tub seals the deal - nothing beats bubbles under the stars after a day exploring. Book it before your annoying cousin does.
