Small Lane Barn Reviews

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

Such a gorgeous place with a lovely host that was happy to assist us with whatever we needed. Genuinely sad to be home and cant wait to go back next year.
