About Bottomhouse Barn

Bottomhouse Barn stands proudly in Ipstones, Staffordshire. This massive stone barn conversion sleeps 15 people across 4 bedrooms. Perfect for big family gatherings or friend reunions where you need space to spread out. The place is huge! Think solid oak floors, spiral staircase and enough room to lose your mother-in-law for days.

Located at the southern edge of the Peak District, this spot gives you the best of both worlds. Quiet countryside surrounds you with rolling hills and farmland stretching as far as you can see. Brilliant walking routes start right from your doorstep - work up a sweat before cooling down with a beer at the local pub just 1.5 miles away.

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.

Bottomhouse Barn Reviews

Colette
We had a lovely stay at Bottomhouse Barn. Henry was very welcoming and helpful. The house was really in a lovely area and great for family activities, family walks, cycling, and a theme park. The Peak Wildlife park was within minutes as was the RSPB nature reserve. A visit to Chatsworth House was worthwhile. As a family with various age groups we found plenty of things to do for all. The house accommodated us well and was clean and tidy on arrival. A couple of minor things, I would suggest maybe the kitchen may need a little attention the dishwasher wasn't very efficient, also the electric tripped a couple of times but we were able to access the fuse box in the kitchen. Our thanks to Henry am sure Bottomhouse will be enjoyed again in the future.
Miranda
We had a lovely time at the lodge over Christmas with all the family. Everything was perfect exactly as listed. Henry the owner was very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely go back.
Victoria
Came here for a 40th birthday weekend with friends. The owners were very helpful and friendly. We all had a great time, the barn is beautiful and the hot tub is an extra treat. There was loads of room for everyone and we would recommend this place to anyone who wanted a family or close friend get together! Fav memories made.
The only problem was to find the cottage as the address in this page was not correct. For the rest, was amazing.
Lovely detatched cottage, perfect for my friends 50th birthday. Hot tub was lovely! Hosts were super friendly and helpful.
Bottomhouse Barn was perfect for our 3 generation family and friend weekend to celebrate a big birthday. Everything was great.
Amazing barn , had a fantastic holiday ! Close to lots of beautiful walks and attractions
Had a lovely time. Kids loved the garden and was a great area. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
We were a large family group, the accommodation was fantastic, plenty of room, seating areas were very comfortable. Bedrooms were spacious, beds comfortable. The kitchen area was very well equipped for large numbers, huge fridge, cooking range and plenty of pots, pans, crockery and utensils. The TV could be a bit bigger, especially as we were all watching the football.
Thank you for a lovely stay at Bottomhouse Barn. We stayed for my friends hen weekend, as a group of 13. We were all comfortable, and enjoyed the facilities on offer especially the hot tub! The owner was available for any questions or queries and was really helpful. We enjoyed paddle boarding on Tittesworth reservoir and lunch at The Lazy Trout. The surrounding countryside is beautiful with lots of walks nearby.
Rebecca
Booked this house for my sisters hen party. It was just what we were looking for. Beautiful house with beautiful surroundings. Comfy beds and great facilities. The owner Henry was lovely too. I would definitely recommend.
We had an absolutely amazing stay here celebrating 2 birthdays. The house was perfect and had so much room. The owners were very helpful and friendly we felt very comfortable. Will definitely be booking again for a summer break!
The barn is stunning and had everything we could have possibly needed for a fabulous weekend away. The owner is friendly, knowledgeable and it was a pleasure to meet him. I would not hesitate to recommend booking Bottomhouse Barn for large get togethers and take full advantage of the rural location, beautiful views and fabulous facilities.
Ashleen
Booked Bottomhouse Barn for my 30th and couldnt have asked for more, it was exactly what I had in mind. Everything was lovely and clean, beautiful location, great wet room downstairs with large walk in shower, plenty of potspansplates etc. Hosts were lovely, so helpful and friendly and even came and cleaned and refilled the hot tub early morning while we slept. Thank you so much! Hopefully be back for the next 30th!
Ranjith
The Barn was in a nice location with beautiful views but the bed arrangement was not good enough. The stairs are too small for carrying our bags to upstairs. Not safe for elderly people to go upstairs.Good for youngsters and group.
We had a lovely stay at Bottomhouse Barn. The owner was really friendly and very helpful with providing additional amneities. The property itself was lovely and is situated in a stunning area, with lots of walks and outdoor activities to do nearby. We were a party of 12 and we all agreed that we would all thoroughly recommend.
Rhodah
The property was very spacious for the number of people however, the other shower upstairs bedrooms was not working so had to go to the downstairs wet room. The beds were very comfortable and everything else was perfect.
We had a wonderful weekend at Bottomhouse Barn, to celebrate my retirement with work colleagues. Henry came over to show us where everything was and how to use the appliances, he also answered any queries before arrival. There is plenty of information in the barn regarding walks, pubs and general information. The barn was super comfortable, super clean and cosy. The beds were very comfortable. It was extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The views were lovely from the kitchen, plenty of seating and with a lawn for games. Peaceful location, would highly recommend for a large party.
Came for a hen weekend with 12 prople. House is in a lovely area with great views. Very spacious area for alot of cars to park. House layout is very good. All amenities thought of in the kitchen, lots of utensils, cleaning products etc. The bedrooms are very spacious and work well with the layout. 2 bathrooms upstairs and one downstairs work well. The hot tub was lovely and sitting in there with the view was perfect. Only downside we found is there is no wifi there but signal is fine. The owners were brilliant in answering any questions beforehand and giving recommendations of restaurants nearby and also showing us around when we got there. Would definately recommend and stay here again.
Excellent property in a great location. Would highly recommend!
Stephanie
A wonderful time had by 3 families with young children. The host was incredibly welcoming and informative the property was great for us very well equipped and has fantastic views. Lovely base for visiting exploring the local area we particularly enjoyed Tittesworth Reservoir. Thank you for a really enjoyable stay.
We booked for a weekend in September for my friend's hen do group of 13 and had a brilliant time. The barn is lovely and the gardenview is beautiful if you're lucky with the weather the sunsets are stunning. The kitchen was really wellequipped and we made good use of the hot tub. Henry, the owner, was really thorough and explained how to use everything.
Beautiful accommodation and location. We were there for a hen do, and the host was very welcoming, allowing a few other family members to attend for the BBQ in the evening. Nearby highly recommend activities at Tittesworth reservoir and the Lazy Trout pub. Really good facilities at the barn and loved the hot tub. Highly recommend this place.
Jessica
Spent 3 lovely days here for my hen do. The accommodation and surrounding area is beautiful. Comfortable, warm, clean and spacious accommodation for me and 14 friends to celebrate. Amazing walks nearby and stunning scenery to enjoy from the hot tub. I didn't meet the hosts as friends arranged everything but they advised me they were friendly and helpful. Thanks for a lovely stay we hope to be back again in the future
Kimberley
We recently visited for my sisters family hen weekend, and had an amazing time. We were given all the information on how everything worked in the barn, and nearby places to eatvisit, very helpful owners. The barn came equipped with everything you could possibly need, was very clean and the hot tub was perfect with stunning views to look out on while relaxing. Would definitely recommend, and would love to return. Thank you for having us!
Rebecca
We had a lovely stay at Bottomhouse Barn for a hen do weekend! It had everything we needed for our girly trip plenty of communal space, comfy beds, and a hot tub which we definitely got our use out of!. Henry took us through everything when we arrived and made sure we were happy. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Chrissy
Lovely property, relaxing and clean
We have just returned home after a lovely stay at Bottomhouse Barn for a ladies weekend away. Its a gorgeous place and very comfortable. Beautiful views when storms Eunice and Franklin werent obscuring the scenery! with patio doors which look out across the landscape. It was very easy to relax by the wood burning fire and everything was provided to light it. It was warm, cosy and very clean. We would definitely recommend starting here if theres a large group of you. All the extras were provided such as washing up liquid, dishwasher tabs, bin bags, condiments, and even a bag of ice! Thank you for a relaxing and stress free stay
Charlotte
Fantastic stay for my sisters hen party. Will defo be returning one day. Henry was so helpful upon arrival with everything so thank you. What a lovely place to stay!
We have just got back from the Barn celebrating a Hen party. The barn is absolutely stunning and the pictures definitely dont do it justice, Henry was very welcoming and gave me guide on how everything worked. Lots of information in the barn about local places to visit etc, For anyone thinking of visiting definitely follow the instructions on the check in email rather than the sat nav as it is tucked away nicely. The barn was well equipped with towels, tea towels and the basics, washing up liquid etc no sweeping brush which would be a handy thing to add overall a brilliant weekend and definitely will be returning to Bottom House Barn.
Jennie
We stayed at the barn for 3 nights over New Year. The owner was lovely very helpful and left us a gift on arrival. The barn was spacious ideal for our large family and had all the amenities. Its was very clean.The views were beautiful and we enjoyed a walk into Ipstones. I would definitely recommend x
Everything was really comfortable and we had a great stay. The owners were on hand for any concerns & the property was really well equipped. The only issue that we had was that due to 2 power cuts during our stay the hot tub lost temperature & took time to heat back up & we didn't get to use it as much as we wanted we weren't offered a partial refund on this facility which was very expensive to hire for a weekend.
We had a fabulous stay at Bottomhouse Barn . The barn was perfect for our stay, in a great location and the owners were very helpful . We would love to come back soon !
Amanda
We had a fantastic break at the Bottomhouse barn and I would highly recommend this accommodation to others. We had a brilliant experience and we topped it off by hiring a private chef and private yoga teacher which is was stunning on the grounds.
Really lovely place to stay in a very quiet area. It was nice that the horses featured in the pictures are actually at the end of the garden and will come and say hi during your stay! The place was well stocked for 15 with enough kitchenware, bedding and towels for everyone and we enjoyed our stay.
Caroline
Beautiful converted barn. Very comfy beds. We loved the hot tub, even when the British weather let us down. Very well equipped kitchen, absolutely everything we needed. Helpful and friendly owner. Thank you
Charlotte
Bottom house barn that we visit was wonderful. It was in a stunning location with great views and the barn owner was very welcoming and thorough with information on checking in. The barn was comfortable and warm on a pretty chilli weekend and the hot tub had great views when relaxing. However unfortunately I cannot say that my experience in using Sykes was positive this booking was as a result of a previous booking being messed up due to some vouchers however again they failed to tell us vital information again including additional costs to use the hot tub and a good house keeping bond and put this down to assuming that customers read all details on line even though we booked over the phone. I cannot say I will be in a rush to book with them again.
Amazing venue and lovely hosts. Couldn't recommend enough.
We had a wonderful stay at Bottomhouse Barn for my sister's hen weekend, the barn had everything we needed for a really relaxing and enjoyable weekend we definitely made good use of the hot tub! Henry was great, he met me on arrival and showed me around so I knew how everything worked and left us leaflets of local attractions and takeaways. The beds were so comfy, everywhere was so clean and tidy with plenty of towels for all the girls. The kitchen is really well stocked with plates and cutlery and bowls, and the big fridge, large oven and wine cooler were a godsend for us all. We went to Wild Park Derbyshire on the Saturday and did the laser adventure, only 20 minutes away and really great fun! Alton Towers is also only 6 miles away so a great base for exploring and adventure!! Would highly recommend Bottomhouse Barn for groups, really great find, thank you.
We stayed here for my friends hen party in April this year. 15 of us stayed over and a few more visited during the day and there was plenty of room. Its a lot bigger than it looks on the photos, very spacious and lovely outdoor space with large seating area inside and out, lovely new hot tub, shame we were unlucky with the weather as we would have definitely made use of this space outside and the hot tub otherwise ... There is everything you need dishwasher, large fridge freezer, washing machine, drinks fridge. Plenty of crockery and utensils and they even left us some washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets, tea towels and cloths. Plenty of toilet roll and towels provided. It was perfect for what we wanted and will definitely consider revisiting with family some time. Host, Henry was very attentive and showed us how everything worked on our arrival. Plenty of space for parking by the barn too! Would definitely recommend! ThanksXx
