Great property and location, couldn't fault it at all. Had everthing you could need for a long or short stay. Hosts were lovely and always willing to chat. Local pub was busy but very accommodating and welcoming. Lovely walks close by with amazing views. Hot tub was an added luxury, perfect for stargazing after a long day. Would highly recommend and will be returning.

We had a fantastic time. High quality spec, very clean, comfortable and cosy. A home from home

Isabella

A lovely, cosy little place to stay. In the small dale there are some beautiful dog walks. The village pub The Shoulder of Mutton pub was welcoming and had a lovely atmosphere, we enjoyed New Years Eve there and the food is very good. There five of us and our dog had plenty of room and the views over the countryside are lovely, very peaceful and secure. We cooked some meals at the barn so I bought and left some staples salt, pepper, sugar, loo rolls etc. for other guests always nice to have a few things there to use. Its a nice central location but as with all these quiet retreats is a bit of a drive to go anywhere. We enjoyed snowy trips to Buxton and Bakewell, walks at Rudyard Lake and Cromford Mills and the younger adults among us loved the hot tub, feeding the chickens and the history and stories of the local area. A lovely getaway. We all enjoyed it thoroughly to ease us into a new year!

A really lovely property, well equipped, spacious and clean. The hosts were great really helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We would love to come back.

Louisa

This is a gorgeous place to stay we will definitely be back

Alison

Our weekend getaway accommodation was fab, and the owners friendly and onhand. I would say that prearrival communication was a little haphazard as we had requested the adaptable twin beds to be made up as a double as offered, however this was missed it wasnt an issue for us, but for others booking just ensure your requests are responded to. The heating hadnt been switched on prior to our arrival so it was very very cold we had a young baby with us but it didnt take too long to warm up. Appreciating the building is old and very well renovated, it was fantastic, but just to note that it would be beneficial for the double room ensuite window to have the operating mechanism and cracked tiling repairedas a heavy handed person would possibly cause more damage. Hot tub provided, and local vicinity all made for a relaxing break than you Matt & Mark for hosting your lovely property

Rebecca

Had a great stay at Manor Barn. The location was perfect for getting to a lot of places. The garden was perfect and secure for the dogs and there was plenty of space to make this feel like home. The hot tub was also a great size and had plenty of room for us all. Would definitely stay again.

Stephen

Great place and location. The owners were great and gave us a few tips where to go in the area. Local pub great especially the food. Overall I would definitely recommend a week in this location.

Rachel

The property is a great base to explore multiple walks with dogs in the area. The owner was very tentative to our needs and helped with deliveries that we had booked on first day as we got stuck in some traffic. The property was very clean and had everything we needed and the hot tub was welcomed at the end of the day. Owner recommended the local pub food was so good we went three times. We will look to book again and pass on the details to others looking to visit this area.

Lyndsay

It was a great property and had everything you could need. The owners were very helpful and accommodating. The hot tub was fantastic and had lovely views. Its close to lots of attractions as long as you drive We were able to get a taxi from the property easily. Highly recommend

Beautiful barn, very comfortable and well equipped in a very pretty little village. Fantastic hot tub and surroundings. Nice local pub , serving great food. Area very dog friendly. WiFi very hit and miss , and due to road closures some problems getting around as even sat nav didn't pick them up but out of owners control, who may I add was a very nice guy. Would recommend.

A lovely cottage, some nice field walks and some great pubs for food and drinks in the local area. The cottage was spacious and had a lovely large kitchen. We were lucky with the weather and were able to dine alfresco on the patio and the hot tub was a welcome treat after a day walking. The Monkey Forest was interesting about 20 minute drive.

Great hosts and lovely location. We stayed with our two cocker spaniels and felt super safe to let them out in the garden and not have to worry about them. The hottub was lovely and clean. 1010 experience, thank you so much.

Karren

Thank you for a lovely week at Manor Barn with my dog. Mark and Matt were made us feel very welcome and thank you for the wine. The cottage has been beautifully equipped with everything you could need and the beds in particular are very comfortable. The hot tub was also excellent. One of the best cottages Ive stayed in , The location is also excellent and there are lots of things within easy reach.

Excellent property throughout. Mark was always on hand if we needed anything. The hot tub was great after a day out walking. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a nice break to chill out and relax. AlanJackie

Helena

Such a lovely property, very well kept and looked after. Cozy and warm with everything you could need and more is at this property. Great owners, available if needed. Peaceful scenic location. We loved our stay and will definitely return. Lovely walks from the property which we enjoyed with our dogs, even with the bad weather. Gorgeous hot tub for unwinding at the end of the day. We could not have asked for more. Thank you so much Mark & Matt.

What an incredible property and just what we were looking for. Our first Christmas away and a perfect location to do it. Private, immaculate and we loved the hot tub. Mark and Matt kept us informed and updated regarding our stay and were on hand to answer questions and make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. We would highly recommend Manor Barn to anyone looking for some quiet time with loved ones in a beautiful private setting.

Manor Barn is a beautiful property, a credit to the owners. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay thank you very much.

Jonathan

Lovely cottage in quiet location and access to good pubs food.

Joanne

Fabulous holiday property. Extremely clean with everything you would need for your break away good quality too. Countryside location but not too rural and felt very safe. Dog friendly. Hot tub was awesome. Loved my time here. Would definitely recommend this property. Thank you.

Nicholas

We had a very enjoyable stay with our dog with at Manor Barn and would highly recommend this property for a very peaceful country getaway in comfortable surroundings. After having a slight issue at the start of our break which was dealt with brilliantly by the owner Mark, we were very impressed with his level of customer service and thank him for dealing with it so efficiently & quickly. The property was super clean and so spacious and the standard of furnishings was of high quality. It was very well equipped and we couldn't really think of anything that was not provided. The hot tub was beautiful with a lovely elevated view of the countryside and perfect to relax in and enjoy the great outdoors. Although this location is in the country it was not that isolated from anything as it had a great pub about 10 mins walk away called 'The Shoulder of Mutton' which was dog friendly and served very nice food. Further afield about 10 15 mins drive we found shops for our supplies. Finally there was a great walk just up the lane from the property which had elevated views over the area which was beautiful and worth exploring. Overall to sum up this property we would not hesitate to go back if in the area and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing break in peaceful surroundings which is ideally located for many things.

Carolyn

We enjoyed a lovely stay at Manor Barn. The accommodation was very private and comfortable with lovely facilities. An extra fridge freezer has been added providing plenty of space for chilled and frozen items. The barn was extremely dog friendly with tiled floors, gates at the top and bottom of the stairs and fenced garden. The area was so peaceful and the large hot tub with beautiful countryside views was amazing. Mark and Matthew were very friendly and helpful. The pub in Fulford just five minutes walk away was very welcoming, dog friendly with lovely food. Worth booking to ensure a table. The area has some great places to visit such as Trentham Gardens, Rudyard Lake and Churnet Valley Railway which has Hettys Tea Room in walking distance which is also well worth a visit! We would definitely return in the future.

Absolutely stunning property in such a peaceful area. The hot tub was really appreciated and the lovely patio area. I think if you stayed for a week you would struggle with the small freezer compartment in the fridge, so a fridge freezer would be a welcome addition. The barn has a washerdryer but the drying cycle takes a long time. A 4 slice toaster would be a good addition too and checking the bulbs as quite a few were out. Thank you for the bottle of wine and we would definitely recommend the barn to family and friends

Second stay here Fantastic week away for my husband 60th with our dogs they loved it was really relaxed whereas we normally have a problem with them as they suffer from anxiety but they loved it weather was amazing we look like we have been abroad all home comforts, if we don't end up moving abroad next year we will definitely be back 5 star

Had a great stay at Manor Barn. It's was our 8 year old's birthday and we let her choose. Her priority was a hot tub, and the one at manor barn was huge, so she loved it. The place was fairy high spec, and clean. The owners live right next door and were helpful when we had an issue with the shower. Would definitely go back.

Romayne

We stayed here for three nights over New Year. Great service and communication from the owners. The Barn has great facilities and the hot tub was very nice. Having the gate around the property made this safe and secure for the children and dogs. I would highly recommend a stay here.

We stayed in Manor Barn over Christmas and it was beautiful, lots of space for a family of 5 and the owners were amazing. Fantastic location as the village and local pub amazing food was in walking distance and the owners guided us with the nearest supermarket etc. Thank you for an amazing stay we will be back. Ps the hot tub was a plus point as well with lovely views xx

Lovely chilled week just what we needed. The fencing around the manor barn meant we felt our dogs were very secure and could just roam at their leisure. Hot tub was probably the nicest weve been in very spacious and really clean. The barn was really warm so only used the fire once but was so cosy when lit. Thankyou for a fab stay

The location is lovely. For us using this property especially as it is listed up to 6 people would be that it requires a proper fridge and a proper freezer. The little one that is provided has a lot of space taken up with the door and the little freezer compartment. I would also liked to have seen more than 4 mugs. Apart from this the property is spacious downstairs and has a large kitchen with plenty of seating available for sitting at at meal times. Was nice having a downstairs loo as well. The stairs are a somewhat creaky so a quiet journey to bed is not an option. Upstairs again the rooms are quite spacious. Master bedroom had a nice view over the fields. The ensuite bathroom is small but adequate for the small to medium sized person. This bedroom could have done with a full set of drawers as the dressing table does not have a plug point next to it. The wardrobe is adequate for a short stay but you will have to bend to get into it. The other bedroom is a good size and again has views. This bedroom has a proper wardrobe and chest of drawers. The family bathroom is at the top of the stairs between the two bedrooms. The hot tub is lovely to relax in after a long day out and about. There is plenty of parking and the area designated for this house outside is made quite private by a wall. There is a nice grass area if you have kids for them to play on as well as slab area as patio. There is seating provided for enjoying the sunset or meals outside. There are also a couple of large garden games to be played. The property is clean and tidy but for us just needed a few tweaks.

The property was very well appointed and is set in a lovely location. Ideal for four people. Owner was friendly and helpful. Walking distance from the local pub which served good food.

We had a fantastic stay at Manor Barn, great property, very well laid out and a pub to die for within walking distance, who could ask for more!
