"This was a very very lovely place to stay and will be booking again thank you ."
-
"Lovely little holiday home, with everything we needed for our week's stay in the Peak District."
We hope to be back again in the future!
-
"We had a fantastic time staying at Fletchers Barn."
We enjoyed it so much we could have stayed longer! It's cosy, comfortable and ideal for someone with mobility issues like myself. The owners were very welcoming and left nice touches for our stay like wine, flowers and milk.
-
"The cooker could do with up grading."
The outside space could do with some nice comfy chairs. Would like softer towels.
-
"Fletchers Barn is beautiful."
The welcome from Ruth is great, she'd put flowers and a bottle of wine in the barn for us. The bed is extremely comfitable. We enjoyed the farm cats visiting us and seeing the other farm animals. There's a lovely walk from the barn which takes you through conservation ground. There are lots of places to visit and enjoy, something for all ages. We would particularly recommend The Tram Village, it's a really fun day out for any age group.

"Not to be duped into thinking it was owned by someone famous."
Hot tub needed. Soap holder in shower
I'm sorry you have felt the need to leave this review. The information for this property clearly says that it is nothing to do with someone famous or his farm and nowhere in the description does it state there is a hot tub. I'm sorry you didn't find the bathroom organiser which is hanging on the bathroom door for your soap. Property Owner

"Fletchers barn is one place I definitely will be going back to ."
On arrival entering the property it was lovely and warm clean with fresh fruit and flowers on table along with bottle of wine , there was milk in the fridge the owner friendly and nothing was to much trouble If you like walks and to be away from the every day busy life this is the ideal place

"We had 4 nights here at the end of February with our 2 children on a hiking holiday and can not fault anything."
Ruth was very welcoming and allowed my daughter to feed the goats and stroke the cats, which made her day. As did waking up to cows literally on our back doorstep every day. Nothing was too much and the welcome hamper was a lovey touch. We felt very much at home at fletchers barn and will definitely be back
-
"Fletcher Barn was a lovely comfortable and very warm property."
The beds were extremely comfortable and large. Ruth the owner was so helpful and friendly nothing was too much trouble for her. The bottle of Bubbles was very welcome as we were celebrating
-
"Wonderful stay at Fletchers Barn."
Spotlessly clean on arrival. We self catered for all our stay, kitchen fully equipped with everything you could possibly need for 4 people and of good quality. Beds are huge and so comfortable with mattresses and pillow protectors and lovely bedding. Very warm and cosy and easy to boost heating if needed, alongside a lovely log burner. Constant hot water again easy to boost if needed. Fantastic wet room, very clean and excellent pressure from shower, handy grab rail. Great parking outside front door. This property is ideal for anyone with reduced mobility, downstairs king sized bedroom, no raised thresholds inside, ramp to front door, grab rail in shower. Property is very well maintained. Ruth the owner is a fantastic host and a lovely person who lives onsite and obviously cares so much about her guests comfort and enjoyment , she ensures everything is OK, is there if needed but leaves guests to enjoy the break. We would highly recommend this property and hope to return soon. Thank you Ruth for making us so welcome and accommodating us last minute.

"A lovely little cottage a good location which provided a perfect base for a week of chilling out"

"We stayed at Fletcher’s Barn in November as part of my friend’s 60th birthday celebrations."
We loved everything about it and have already recommended it to friends if they are considering a holiday in Derbyshire. Picturesque and traditional, but with modern conveniences, it was warm and cosy (important in November!) and made a great base for exploring the area. It’s in a rural setting on a working farm and only a few miles from shops. Since starting to holiday in the UK since Covid put a hold on going abroad, we’ve stayed in quite a few cottages and this is certainly one of the nicest. An excellent feature and a big selling point for us was the option to have both bedrooms set up as either king size or twin, something more places should consider. The owner was friendly and helpful and the welcome bottle of wine was most appreciated. We have no hesitation in recommending Fletcher’s Barn and would return if holidaying in the area again.

"We had a lovely stay at Fletcher's Barn."
Cottage was clean, comfy and a great base for exploring the Peaks and all the area has to offer. Ruth the owner was welcoming, kind and helpful. A perfect 5* cottage.
-
"Fletchers Barn is a lovely, comfortable cottage in a quiet location."
It is very clean and well equipped, and has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. It is central to a variety of interesting places to visit, so there is plenty to see and do within a short ride away. And Belper is close by for all your self catering needs. Ruth (the owner) is very friendly and is always available should you need any help. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend.
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at Fletchers Barns."
The cottage was very clean and comfortable and a lot of thought had been put into ensuring we had everything we needed. The beds were extremely comfortable, with lovely linen etc. Flowers, fruit and a bottle of wine on arrival! Ruth was very warm and friendly but not intrusive. Thank you for a lovely holiday. Ruth Shelton and Charlotte Beauchamp.
-
"This is a very comfortable and cosy property and Ruth is a good host - not intrusive but there if you need her."
It is well located for visits to sits of interest, including two stunning National Trust properties. Seeing the cattle so close to the house was a real bonus.
-
"Lovely comfortable cottage."
Plenty of local walks and plenty of places to visit in easy reach. Would book again.
-
"The cottage had good crockery and the beds were comfortable, but that's all you can say about this cottage."
The bad points are listed below. The property had not be cleaned properly. The oven was dirty the grill pan was so greasy it could not be used. The pots and pans need replacing now. The washing machine powder compartment was full of old powder and water, so again could not be used The water pump noise ( which was not listed ) kept you awake every time you run the tap or flushed the toilet, so much so you could not sleep in the upstairs bedroom were the pump is. The shower hot and cold tap was very hard to turn, a disabled person would have had a problem with this, so we would not recommend this cottage for a disabled person and should be highlighted in the property details. The shaver wall socket did not work. We have stayed in many Skye's properties before, some very good others not so, but this is the worse property so much so it spoiled our holiday and we would think again before hiring another property from Skye's Holiday cottages.
I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your stay at Fletchers Barn, and I am very disappointed you didn't feel it necessary to bring any of theses issues to my attention while you were staying with us, so they could have been dealt with during your stay to improve your holiday. I have looked at all the point highlighted by yourself and feel the only thing that possible needs action is the shower leave (with it being a round handle) could have issue with gripping with arthritic hands, but would like to say I have never had anyone remark on this before.

"We had a great time at Fletcher's barn."
The place was great and the hosts were lovely and accommodating. Has the bathroom and a bedroom downstairs so was great for accessibility (no need to go upstairs at all if you are in the downstairs bedroom). All around a great trip
Thank you for your feedback it is very much appreciated Property Owner

"Really nice property with great facilities."
Lovely pubs and walks nearby, great little weekend getaway.
Thank you for your feedback it is very much appreciated Property Owner
-
"Very good stay at this well equipped property."
Had a problem with the heating but Ruth responded promptly. She even allowed us to keep the heating on 24 hours due to the exceptional cold. The welcome gift of wine and milk was much appreciated, and the flowers were a lovely touch. The beds were very comfortable and the bedding was of a high standard. This is a good area for sightseeing and the woods opposite made lane avoidance a delight. Local pubs not up to much, but many good alternatives just a short car ride away.
Thank you for your review, I'm pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"Fletchers barn was absolutely perfect."
We could not have wished for anything better. The cottage was lovely and warm on our arrival and all trimmed up for Christmas and all very welcoming. The owner Ruth was lovely and came over to introduce herself and to welcome us ,giving us some information on what Christmas markets were on in the area and to let us know that she was there if ever we needed her. We loved the evenings just staying in the property, we had taken lots of games to play and everything felt so chritmassy and cosy. The beds were really comfy too and we all slept well . The perfect place to chill and unwind with friends and family .
Thank you for your review Property Owner

Thank you for your review Property Owner

"It was wonderful to return to Fletcher's barn."
We stayed here many years ago with one very small sprog and returned with a bigger child and another one in tow! Lovely to see the new back garden area with the seating and the nice view out over the field. We enjoyed sitting there when it was dry!! The cows and the cats on the farm were extra friendly! The barn has lovely comfy beds, a good sized living area and a wet room which is handy for those less mobile. The stairs are narrow to upstairs so take care. I'm sure it was easier to get up them last time - Clearly they have shrunk!! Lovely and clean and comfy with fresh towels and soft bedding. Great base to travel to loads of lovely spots around Peak District and plenty of child friendly attractions nearby. Ruth is a wonderful host and on hand should you need her. Thanks for the super break!!

"Ruth and family, the owners, were very friendly and helpful."
The property was, spacious, well set out, well maintained and comfy. The beds are very comfy, always a bonus. The back door opens onto a deck, which is fenced off from a grazing pasture, with very nosey bulls! A real treat to be sat outside in a peaceful setting close to nature. A lovely place to relax in and explore the area. Would highly recommend.

"Ruth and David were amazing hosts, the wine, milk , flowers and fruit were very welcome ."
Ruth recommended things for us do , David let our 3 year old grandson sit in his tractor and see the bulls which he thought were amazing. This little gem was like a home from home and we will definitely return , very clean and well looked after Thanks so much for our holiday Michelle, Chris, Brenda, Charlie and Arlo
-
"Ruth was fantastic, the property was immaculate and well equipped, and the location was brilliant."
We enjoyed waking up to the scenery and the cows, day trips out to Belper and Matlock, and exploring the local woods. Ruth took the time to check that we were settled OK, showed us around the farm, and generally made us feel very welcome.
-
"Lovely welcome on arrival by Ruth."
Beautiful clean cottage. Loved the little extras milk tea coffee flowers fruit and a nice bottle of wine. Ruth is a lovely lady and her husband they couldn’t do any more to make us so welcome. Jerry the cat pop’s in to you and makes herself at home. Sitting on the decking each morning with a nice pot of tea watching the cows. So peaceful. Xx
-
"We had a lovely stay in Fletcher Barn."
So peaceful. A great rural location, with a town within 10 mins for essentials! There were plenty of place to visit within a short drive. Lovely park in Belper and not far away Derby (Mundy Play Centre) Ruth was very welcoming, and Geri the cat was a big hit
-
"Found this property/location “right up our street”."
Ruth and David very friendly and helpful but not intrusive. We would love to return.
-
"We had a lovely week staying in Fletchers barn, the barn is so very comfy and clean and Ruth is a fantastic host."
We enjoyed exploring the area which had some nice local walks, near by pubs and close by days out. The kids loved spending time around the cottage & farm with the animals. We would definitely stay again..
-
"We had a fabulous week’s stay at Fletchers Barn."
Fletchers Barn is full of charm and character and you will be assured of a warm welcome from Ruth (along with complimentary wine, milk, fruit and flowers). This barn is extremely well equipped making self catering a breeze. Everything has been thought of! Extremely comfortable beds, a cozy log fire (which we enjoyed even though it was May) and a games room for our teens to enjoy darts and pool. Numerous maps and guides are also supplied to help you explore this delightful park of Derbyshire. We enjoyed several walks, including Middleton Top but most of our time was spent catching up with our family who live close by. Thank you again to Ruth for the opportunity to stay at Fletchers Barn. We will return.
-
"Excellent accommodation in a lovely location."
Ruth, the owner, could not have been more welcoming or helpful. The extra touches of fruit bowl, wine and flowers were thoughtful and much appreciated. As the weather was good we enjoyed being able to use two outside seating areas. The accommodation was spacious, beds very comfortable, kitchen well equipped and lounge pleasant and a nice wet room with a really good shower. Cannot recommend it highly enough.
-
"Rose and I enjoyed a great holiday here."
Fletchers Barn is a very cosy, quiet, comfortable and clean base from which to enjoy the local attractions, the majority of which are within easy reach. Tastefully converted to a holiday home, the barn is equipped with everything you could need for a break and the owner, Ruth, is ready to advise on places to go. We look forward to our next trip to Wiggonlea Farm.
-
"Such a brilliant welcome - from Ruth, the owner to the vases of real flowers, fresh fruit and wine."
Great place to stay if you need this part of the PeakDistrict or Derbyshire.
-

-
"Very well appointed and comfortable property."
Efficient heating system and supplies of hot water. Ideal spot on the edge of the Peak District National Park with easy access for car owners to places like Wirksworth, Dovedale, Manifold Valley, Matlock, Bakewell and Buxton.
-
"Really cosy property."
Owners went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible, including making provision of a secure storage facility for our bicycles. This property is in an ideal place for cycling around the Derwent valley, and off road trails in the area. Highly recommended!
-
"Absolutely lovely cottage, we felt very welcome, greeted with fruit, wine, milk and flowers."
It’s a great place to relax and unwind with easy access to local beauty spots. The cottage has a cosy and relaxing atmosphere. We loved that the cats came to see us. Log burner is amazing. The bed are very comfortable too which isn’t always the case with holiday cottages. We plan on returning next year and would recommend this cottage for people with mobility issues. 5*

"We had such a lovely stay at fletchers barn for Christmas very comfortable well ..."
We had such a lovely stay at fletchers barn for Christmas very comfortable well equipped and hosts were very welcoming and helpful beautiful cottage Thankyou for having us :-)
-
"A really lovely cottage."
We had a wonderful stay. The beds were comfy, shower was hot, rooms were spacious. It’s a great location for walks in the woods without needing to drive anywhere. Ruth is an excellent host and we are was all very Christmassy with the tree and fairy lights all round the farm. Would go again. NB Wifi connection was good - no Vodafone signal
-
"We had such a nice time!"
The cottage was lovely, and Ruth was kind enough to give us a tour of the farm.
-
"A gem of a find for a half-term break away, we were really struggling to find somewhere but this place is lovely!"
It had farm animals to keep the little one entertained, and Ruth was so kind in letting us feed the goats. The beds were super comfortable and it's in a great location for pubs, country walks and some relaxation. (Only suggestion for the woodburner would be a fan to distribute the heat- as compared to our one at home, it didn't chuck out as much heat due to this- but a tiny thing and did not affect our stay!).
-
"Despite the weather being dire, it was just what the doctor ordered."
Comfortable and well-equipped. Ruth was very friendly and welcoming. Fruit, milk and wine left for us on arrival. In some self catering places you have to take your own tea towels and toilet rolls, not here. Plenty are supplied. The log burner made it like home from home. We had no problem turning the heating on or off according to the temperature. I didn't even miss having a dishwasher as we ate ready meals every night! Take your time on the narrow road, you will encounter tractors and possibly even an articulated lorry. Would definitely return. A grab-rail in the bathroom, set vertically against the door frame, below the light switch would be useful. The existing one is a bit low to help tall people get off the toilet.
-
"Clean and comfortable with all the equipment you need for a self-catering break."
Great beds, best sleep I have for a while. One minor thing, personally I would prefer a bath sheet to a bath towel. Wouldn't stop me booking again.
-
"Beautiful cottage in a rural location, yet ideal for being a tourist to the Peak District and Derbyshire."
A wonderful welcome of flowers and fruit was a delight. We will return!
-
"Ruth, the owner was really helpful and pleasant, and welcome gifts were great :- fruit, flowers and bottle of wine as well as tea & coffee etc."
The beds were very comfortable and tv in both bedrooms an unexpected plus. We would really recommend this holiday cottage.

"Had a absolutely brilliant week staying at fletchers barn."
The cottage was stunning and had everything we needed. Would highly recommend.
-
"We had two lovely weeks at Fletchers Barn, it was like home from home."
Our holiday was whilst we had a bathroom refit but we had some lovely days out. Everything you would need to self cater was there, there was nothing missing at all. Its the first time that we have been provided with all cleaning materials that you would need to keep your home and utensils clean both for kitchen and bathroom. There was other lovely touches such as a welcome tray with tea, coffee and sugar also fresh flowers and a bottle of wine. Thank you Ruth.
-
"Lovely place , absolutely no issues whatsoever."
-
"Lovely, peaceful place - only 10 mins drive from Belper, 20 mins from Matlock and 30 mins from Chatsworth."

"On arrival we were met by Ruth who showed us round the cottage and was knowledgeable of events happening locally during our stay."
We had welcome gifts of fruit flowers and even a bottle of wine. The cottage itself was finished to the highest standard. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you would need. The living area was ample and completed with a wonderful wood burner. Both bedrooms were of a good size with comfortable beds. A spacious bathroom with walk in shower was again finished to the highest standard, with individual bath , hand towel and flannel for each member of the party. Having a bedroom, bathroom and living area on the ground floor makes this cottage accessible to all abilities. For the warmer weather there is even a bbq area set behind the cottages. A games room has a pool table, darts board, jigsaws and board games to keep everyone entertained and information leaflets of the local area. We would not hesitate to use Fletcher's Batn when visiting this area again.

About the location
ALDERWASLEY
Wirksworth 2 miles; Belper 7 miles.
Alderwasley is a scattered area of farms and a couple of local pubs located in lovely rolling countryside with undisturbed views for miles, on the southern borders of the Peak District National Park. Nearby Wirksworth is a small, charming market town on the edge of the White Peak, and is full of character, with many buildings of architectural interest, including its magnificent parish church. Visitors will enjoy exploring the ancient "jitties" and courtyards, and the National Stone Centre, as well as the delightful surrounding countryside including nearby Carsington Water and the High Peak Trail. Rock climbing and cycling can be enjoyed here at every level, and there is good walking all around. Well Dressing is unique to Derbyshire, and Wirksworth combines this tradition with a lively carnival. The annual Arts festival attracts international performers of every kind. Close to Alderwasley is Belper which is a town with a long and famous history dating back to the 13th Century, when it was then called Beaurepaire (beautiful retreat), a name that still holds true today. Now a spirited and bustling town, attractions include the North Mill, Long Row and the River Gardens. Beautiful Chatsworth House, Shottle Hall and Haddon Hall are within easy reach, as well as Matlock Bath with its spectacular cable car, the newly restored Ecclesbourne Valley Railway and Gulliver's Kingdom. Only 2 miles away, the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site in Cromford is not to be missed. A great location for a varied holiday.
