  • "What a great place to stay."

    The Barn was lovely - a real home from home, great location, extremely friendly owners. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Horsedale Barn along with our dog Basil. Everything we could ask for, especially the little touches like the welcome pack and dog tags with the owners details on to use whilst we were staying at Horsedale Barn. The Barn has only recently been renovated and it has been done to a very high standard with quality fixtures fittings and accessories. Lovely walks close by and the local pubThe Kings Head is well worth a visit with lovely friendly proprietors with great food and beer along with the Barley Mow which has a fantastic Pie night. We will definitely be back. Thank you Karen and Richard for making us feel welcome.

  • "A perfect holiday stay."

    Completely set up for furry friends. Richard and Karen have been great hosts, they have thought of every need. The barn is beautifully finished with high quality fittings throughout. The location is at the quiet end of an interesting village. There are two pubs and an excellent cafe. Lots of walks from the door and plenty of attractions nearby. I very rarely revisit an area ( too many places to see! ), but will return to this gem. Thank you.

    Thankyou Andy for taking the time to write such a lovely review. Really pleased you enjoyed it so much and we would love for you to return. Thankyou also for leaving everything so clean and tidy. Property Owner

  • "This place is a real home from home."

    I love how truly pet friendly it is, with enclosed garden, and all things dog considered (throws for bed/sofa, spare towels and dog coats and shampoo). The Barn is so cosy and has been fitted out to the highest standard. It is beautiful. It has everything you could need for some time away. The kitchen is fully kitted out for cooking. There wasn’t a single thing I could have needed that they hadn’t already considered. The owners live just across the road. But it remains very private. As a solo traveller this did put me at ease. They even offered to assist me with unloading my car, which was very kind. There is a pub only a 5 minute walk or so down the road. I didn’t visit but I did notice it had very good reviews! It’s close to a lot of good walks such as Carsington Water and the High Peak Trail, and walks straight from the doorstep. Absolutely loved me time here with my pup and will definitely look to come back soon. Highly recommend!

    Thankyou Abigail for taking the time to write such a lovely review! Thankyou also for leaving the place so immaculate, you were a lovely guest and certainly welcome back any time. Property Owner

About the location

BONSALL

Matlock 4 miles; Bakewell 13 miles.

The ancient former lead mining village of Bonsall was once described by the Daily Mail as ‘the healthiest village in England’, because of the long life spans of its inhabitants who were kept fit by climbing its long streets. From The Pig of Lead to the upper end of the village it is a climb of 450 feet. The Pig of Lead public house at the foot of the Via Gellia valley closed a few years ago and is now a private house. Little groups of cottages huddled together on odd plots of land along winding streets add to the charm of this attractive scattered village. The only well-known architect to have contributed to Bonsall was Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, who designed Liverpool Cathedral, Battersea power Station, Waterloo Bridge and the telephone kiosk outside the Barley Mow – now a listed building! At the centre of the village is an interesting group of stone houses and the King’s Head a delightful 17th century inn, which surround a much-photographed market cross with a slender circular shaft topped by a ball and surmounted by 13 steps thought to date back to the middle ages. The fine church with its' tower, sits high up, overlooking the village. The surrounding area, especially on Bonsall Moor, is rich in old mine workings, reflecting the importance of lead to the area. The village is on the Limestone Way footpath and the area is excellent for walkers. The lower dale along the Via Gellia road has some glorious woodland, a haven for wildlife and flora - look out for Kingfishers near the millpond.
