• "We recently stayed, and loved it - we'll certainly be coming again soon."

  Great little spot, cozy but with plenty of space - a lovely shower, and small kitchen area, and a great hot-tub. Brilliant location, only a short drive or walk from some great spots. Thank you!

• "Lovely, comfortable, clean cottage, fabulous views and peaceful location."

  The single track to access the property is very picturesque being about a mile long. The track was passable even during heavy rain and slight flooding over the track from the beck, and after dark. It’s helpful to have two people in a vehicle to hold the gates open as you drive through as they do not stay open if not held. The owners were lovely and very helpful and the hot tub, barbecue, and summer house a real bonus. Would highly recommend.

  The Cow Shed was a lovely little secluded property off the beaten track, but close enough to walk to local amenities. The property was cosy and clean with the added delight of a hot tub after a long days hiking! I would definitely recommend it! Although I didn’t get to meet the owners properly they were helpful and there if needed!! Will definitely be back!

• "Wonderful property, and the views are amazing."

  The cow shed, hot tub itself was very clean, comfortable for our use. The cover for the hot tub we working say was on the wrong side as blocked our view from the fields. The weather was OK but meant we couldn't use the bbq (we had a look and does need a clean from previous users). The only other recommendation would be the state of the road leading to the shed had started to erode near the river ( I know much may not be able to be done) but we had a mg suv and were nervous everytime we passed it that we may fall in a note may be needed when hiring out the property about the Recommended size of car.

• "We a fantastic and relaxing stay at Cow Shed during the long Easter weekend."

  The cottage was clean, comfortable and perfect for a couple with the required amenities. No doubt the hot tub and the adjoining heated hut is the highlight. After walking/hiking all day, the hot tub is so so relaxing and romantic. Tony and Belinda are great hosts and communication with them was excellent. We reached quite late in the night but they had kept the cottage heating on. Loved the location of the cottage. It’s really peaceful and quiet out there. Youlgreave is a beautiful little village with some nice walks around.

• "The hot tub was overlooked by the main property and adjacent holiday cottage."

  We really enjoy staying at locations with a hot tub but privacy is of utmost importance. The fences were lattice so we were completely viewable and the two small side windows and glass conservatory from the main house compounded this situation even more so. It made us feel very self conscious and vulnerable. This detail may prevent us from returning. This irritation has been something we have already discussed with family and friends who have asked us about our stay. We believe with adequate screening this could be easily remedied.

  We are surprised at your comments about the hot tub as we have never had any complaints about it positon or privacy . We have it positioned so people can enjoy the country views from the hot tub and not have it 'boxed in'. I am not sure why you felt vulnerable? We have screening on both sides of the garden .

  We came here in May and were very very lucky to have sun all weekend however, regardless of weather this place would be a cosy retreat all year round. Beautiful scenery, wow factor as soon as you arrive. Absolutely loved sitting in the hot tub admiring the view. Cosy, quiet little annex which was very clean and had adequate faculties for a weekend break. Edition of some Prosecco, chocolate and milk was also very kind. The garden space is private with plenty of room to relax outside. Car parking space as well. Owners were very welcoming upon arrival and made effort to ensure we knew where we were going upon arrival which reduced stress. Will definitely be returning and recommending to friends and family.

  Immaculately clean and well stocked, So many little touches that made the weekend really special, fresh eggs and milk, little bottles of Prosecco and chocolates, spare towels for the hot tub and more! The weather was hot so we didn’t use the hot tub much, we did go in it one evening and have to say that it was pristinely clean. The cottage itself was also spotless, and although compact, had everything we needed and more! We had a walk to the village centre on the Saturday before temperatures were too hot and had a cheeky pint in a couple of the pubs, which were both really friendly and a nice selection of drinks. Overall a wonderful weekend and I cannot wait to come back!

  Although we anticipated the great views and relaxation, we were pleasantly surprised at the gorgeous location. We arrived quite late at night. However, our hosts were available to guide us to the cottage. Although, I must say the directions provided were quite good. The cottage was very clean, modern and really nicely furnished. Even though we visited during winter, the cottage was kept warm for us throughout our stay. The bed was nice and comfortable and we had all the amenities we needed. The views from the hot tub are superb and the lighting was great for a romantic dip in the hot tub. We felt so relaxed whilst looking out at the splendid views. Our hosts were very attentive and provided fresh milk, eggs, tea bags etc. They also provided festive sweets and two small bottles of Prosecco (although we do not drink alcohol) which was a very nice touch. We would highly recommend this lovely retreat to all.

  Thank you for your comments, we are sorry your stay did not meet your expectations. We have looked in to this and feel the website is accurate, we advise the property is semi-detached and next to the owners property. The reason our hot tub is not secluded is because we would like our guests to enjoy the beautiful country side views. Our Hot tub is cleaned out and refilled for every new guest and checked daily to keep the chemical balance correct. The bed is a double antique iron bed as mentioned in the description and it has a very good hotel quality mattress, the comfort of the bed is down to personal preference. We provide a small table in the cottage which opens out but we find in the summer, guests enjoy eating out on the patio or using the summers house. We feel the description and images are accurate for the property however, if your concerns were raised during your stay we would have looked to make your stay as comfortable as possible. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

  The only drawback is the access road leading to the property. Once you leave the road onto the access track the standard of the track is appalling (very deep and wide potholes on a single track road) and is in serious need of some major repair. This is a shame as it would be the only reason for not considering a revisit to the Cowshed.

  !! It was so much more than we ever expected. The room was so lovely, warm & cosy and had everything we could possibly need. The little extras on arrival were a lovely treat too!! The 1 mile walk into the village was nice but I would definitely recommend taking a torch with you. The hot tub was fantastic!!! I couldn’t recommend the cow shed enough!!!!!!!

• "Very relaxing and quiet place to base yourself in for the peak district."

  Great to come back to after a day out and relax in the hour tub looking over open fields although the hot tub cover blocks some of it. Quiet and peaceful.

• "Great cottage with a brilliant hot tub!"

  Lovely views and very handy to walk to pubs for good and filling food in Youlgreave. The cottage and surroundings are well looked after. Will definitely be going back.

• "We had a thoroughly lovely stay at The Cow Shed."

  The studio was well equipped and the owners were very nice, even leaving little bottles of prosecco, milk and eggs from their own chickens. The walk to the local pubs was just the right distance for us (about a mile down tracks through fields and lovely scenery). The hot tub was a real highlight and reserved only for guests of the Cow Shed. Youlgreave was perfect with nice local pubs, all very welcoming. Matlock and Bakewell were also very nice to visit. We also visited Chatsworth House en route home, which was fab. We will definitely be going back!

  Stunning views and walks of the peak district. Hot tub is a great feature along with the summer house. Overall a fantastic stay and will definitely be returning and recommending to friends and family!

• "It was a lovely, beautifully furnished cottage about 20 minutes, (mostly uphill) from the village."

  The hot tub was delightful and the summer house was a lovely additional space. My only caveats would be that the wi-fi signal was weak and although the kitchen was well equipped, there was very little preparation space- so don't expect to cook a complicated meal.
