Small Lane Barn Reviews

Louise
We had a wonderful time at the barn. It was perfect. Beautifully decorated, immaculately clean and in a beautiful and peaceful location. The hosts were kind and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We have already booked to return in 2027 and cant wait.
Jeanette
My family is special and to spend the weekend at Barn cottage was an exceptionally great time for bonding we had a great time eating and playing snooker in the games room the home was outstanding with a beautiful log burner in the lounge kitchen magnificent and every bedroom was to die for and the top item for my step daughter and grandchildren and their partners was the hottub. Looking forward to returning soon.
Lovely accommodation, the barn, the views and the hot tub were amazing. Extra bonus it had a huge games room for us all. In an ideal location to go do some walking in the peaks. Great communication with the owner Liz. Some lovely memories made with a group of friends. Would definitely rebook and recommend.
Angela
Beautiful property and friendly and helpful owner
The property was immaculate and so well looked after. It has everything you need and more it's very clear the owner cares deeply for the place. I've stayed at both locations now and can say they are both lovely and would 100 stay again. I would like to book both places as it's possible to have them joined making it a great stay for up to 16 people.
Anthony
This cottage I cannot recommend highly enough. It is fabulous. Nothing has been scrimped on when doing the place up. Quality kitchen and appliances, which is fully equipped. 4 bedrooms which are all very comfortable. 3 ShowersBathrooms which are beautifully fitted out. Plenty of parking, and a private hot tub, plus there is also a games building with a full size snooker table. The place was fully decorated for Christmas for our Christmas stay. 5 star quality accommodation.
Razvan
Is a lovely barn with all kitchen needs. Everything inside the house is 5 . Definitely we will come back. Thank you
Alison
WOW!! Literally one of the best holiday homes Ive ever stayed in . This was a weekend break for myself, my daughter and nieces and one of their close friends to meet up they live all around the world and celebrate a 30th birthday. The house was furnished to an exceptionally high standard. Every possible thing you could need in the kitchen. Super comfy lounge area as part of a big open plan room, so we were all together whether relaxing or busy in the kitchen. Bedrooms were super well presented and extremely comfortable. Fabulous bathrooms, powerful showers, plenty of hot water. Hot tub outside the back door with a beautiful view, hot tub towels provided was an extra bonus. And the games room was enormous with such a variety of games! Yes it was cold in there in an old barn but the heaters really helped and we really didnt feel the cold when moving around playing the gamesand it was Baltic outside. Had a good walk one day a couple of miles to a local pub and had food there. The home is isolated down long narrow country lanes, perfect for escaping the madness of every day life, with only the sound of cowssheepbirds outdoors. And the house was so quiet, there was a family next door and if we hadnt seen them we wouldnt know they were there, it was silent. Lovely welcome pack from the owner was much appreciated, prosecco , snacks, eggs etc. Would love to return to this beautiful home with a group of my own friends, a more mature group but the house would be perfect for us
We stayed as a group of six and the cottage was perfect for our weekend. It felt homely as soon as we walked in and everything was finished to a really high standard. The Christmas decorations were an unexpected bonus and set the mood for the relaxed festive weekend we wanted mulled wine, food, Christmas films and the hot tub. The bedrooms were comfortable and spacious, and the log fire was a highlight. We couldnt have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommend.
Amanda
We had a fantastic short stay at Small Lane Barn. The property was immaculate and provided everything we needed. The games room and the hot tub were a big hit. Only sad that we werent staying longer !
Kirsty

Ashley
This house was amazing. Everything you could need and more. Hot tub fantastic and everyone loved the games room. The scenery was stunning and although remote shops and pub only minutes away. We will visit again.
Charlotte
Absolutely beautiful property comfiest beds, superbly equipped, cleanest hot tub . ... fabulous. We're booking again for March next year.
Amazing property! No expense spared when renovating this property. Decorated with taste and comfort. Kitchen stocked with everything you could need. A real home from home. The garden is beautiful with amazing views. No negatives with the property. Just wished they allowed dogs as would 100 return. We stayed as 3 couples for birthday celebrations. Perfect stay all round.
A beautiful place with all the comforts you could want. Must be up there as one of the cleanest places that we have stayed. the surrounding views were outstanding.
Hayley
I had an incredible stay at Small Lane Barn. The blend of rustic charm and modern amenities was perfect for our weekend getaway with friends. The owners are extremely communicative and provided lots of really great information as well as answering any questions we had promptly. The addition of the jacuzzi provided the ultimate relaxation after a day of exploring. And the games room was a fantastic bonus, keeping everyone entertained with a variety of activities. The peaceful surroundings made it a perfect getaway. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind and have fun. Thank you we have already recommenced you to relatives and are looking for and excuse to come again.
What an absolute gem of a place Liz & Rueben have . We had a lovely time in the cottage everything was top notch from the crockery to the furnishings. So much so we got home and booked again for next year ! There are plenty of places to visit around the cottage too . The icing on the cake was the first afternoon a hare came into the courtyard.
Yvette
The Barn was wonderful. Its extremely well fitted out, everything was there, it was a real home from home experience. The games room and hot tub were just amazing, plenty of things to keep us entertained and in a wonderful environment. It really was a great location too, plenty of things to do within east driving distance. Liz was quick to get back to us, providing high chairs, travel cots and stair gates. Good communication. We had a fantastic long weekend, thanks Liz and Ruben
Samantha
Excellent accommodation with plenty of glasses, plates & cutlery and all you need to cater for a large family and plenty of room for everyone to eat, and relax. The beds were all comfortable and all other facilities were fabulous, good quality and everything was spotless.The family loved the large games room and variety of games available. The owner was very friendly and was so kind to agree that the groomsmen for my sons wedding could get ready at the property so that we could take photos and leave for the wedding together. We would love to return for another family holiday. Highly recommend.
Superb accommodation with amazing views. The hot tub and games room with the full size snooker table were a hit with all the family. The welcome pack was an unexpected bonus ! A great cottage for a holiday, and we would love to return in the future!
Melissa
The barn was absolutely immaculate, very well equipped and just overall stunning! We all really enjoyed our stay and will be back! The owner is lovely and cant do enough for you!
Small Lane Barn was just what you need in a holiday property, a fantastic home from home. Liz and Reuben are very welcoming hosts and should be very proud of the accommodation they have provided for quest to stay. The views are amazing and the hot tub was very pleasing at the end of a day out. We found plenty of places to visit from spa's to boats and steam trains. The Trentham Estate was a great place to visit. I would only have one comment and that would be to have a long mirror. A lady likes to have a long mirror.
A really delightful place to stay, excellent location and beautifully furnished with everything we needed for our family gathering. Thank you
We had a fantastic short stay at what I can only describe as a wonderful home from home barn. The property is superbly equipped with high end kitchen, and the attention to detail throughout is top class. We will without doubt stay again if in the area.
Great house for family gettogether, great facilities all round, views of countryside beautiful
Darren
Fabulous, matched the description
Lauren
What a wonderful long weekend in such a rare find! The whole place was beautifully finished with amazing views and quiet evenings. Having access to a games room was the cherry on the cake for us and was used a lot! Liz, the owner, was on hand for any problems, with the only issues being parking and finding it can be a bit tricky, but Liz was brilliant. She let us know about road closures before we set off, helped with parking too and on top, let us have a 4hour early checkin. She checked the hot tub daily, which was a concern turned breath of fresh air for us. We had an incredible time and cant wait to give our annual trip a permanent residence!
Sandra
Absolutely beautiful property, fantastic views all around. Been going on weekends away for around 30 years with friends and would say this is the best we have stayed in.
Rachel
Lovely cottage beautifully furnished. Only feedback would be there is no full length mirror & the kitchen knives were blunt. But apart from that it was fab
Allison
Beautiful, well appointed holiday cottage set in beautiful surroundings. Cottage had everything you needed, was clean and well maintained. Games room and hot tub great addition. Owner was so helpful in advising us of local walks. Looking to have a return visit next year.
The property was amazing, everything was done to a high standard and more than enough space for 8 people. It was really secluded too, had great views of the country side. Couldn't recommend highly enough !
Joanne
Can highly recommend staying here. Excellent standards, great facilities and plenty of walks and amenities in the area.
Thank you for such a wonderful stay at Small Lane Barn! It was truly a lovely experience, and we couldnt have asked for a better place to enjoy some quality time with friends. The attention to detail and the welcoming atmosphere youve created really made a difference in making our stay so special. Well definitely be talking about our time there for a long while! Thank you for making it all possible we hope to return soon! Lydia x
Brendan
From the outset, Liz was great & contacted us with everything we needed to reach the cottage. When we visited, there was a lot of snow and ice so Liz & Reuben actually sent us the best routes to avoid the worst of the weather. The house is just awesome and the standard of cleanliness and furnishings was nothing but exceptional. We had the best time and couldn't thank Liz & Reuben enough for their care and attention. We will 100 be back and couldn't recommend this property enough. Brendan & Sophie
Beverley
Absolutely stunning inside and out. Liz and Reuben have really excelled themselves with designing this barn. One of the best properties we've stayed in booked through sykes cottages. Hoping to stay again soon. Hot tub and Games room fantastic. Liz was very helpful and accommodating. Thanks Mum and Daughter Bev and Chelsea xxxx
Mohammed
Stunning cottage with incredible facilities and responsive, friendly hosts.
Stacey
Liz communicated well before our stay & gave clear instructions on how to find the barn. When we arrived the barn was spotless, every extra detail was there from sufficient cleaning products, towels to salt & pepper. I cannot fault this place at all & would definitely reccommend to others. Thank you Liz!
The barn was amazing, it had everything we needed and all the beds were very comfy. The jacuzzi was a great time to relax after the children had gone to bed. We had a lovely family break and will definitely be going again.
Thank you to all of you concerned with making our stay at Small Lane Barn a really enjoyable experience. All 8 of us were more than happy with the facilities, right down to the small detail. We made good use of the Hot Tub and Games Room facilities, which allowed for the girls their time, and the boys their's, as well as having plenty time together as a whole. We couldn't have been more pleased with our choice, and will no doubt be making a return in the very near future, all being well. Many thanks once again from all of us.
Small Lane Barn is an absolute gem. It is probably the nicest property we have ever stayed at for a short break 4 days. The level of detail, quality of finishing and facilties are second to none. Sitting in the hot tub while looking over the peak district landscape was so relaxing. My daughters loved the games room and went everyday to play a variety of games. We used it as a base for Alton towers and Trenham which are both only 28mins away. We will definatley be returning and the hosts are so welcoming too. 5
