Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
Excellent village location surrounded by stunning scenery.

"Lovely comfortable property."
Everything there that we needed. Lovely owner who came to see us and explain about the surrounding area and the facilities in the property. The only downside was the access to the property which was very tight but the owner had telephoned me the day before to warn us. All in all a very restful break.
We are pleased that you had a relaxing break in our property.
We live in a lovely village with fantastic surroundings.
Our property offers walking from the door into the beautiful Peak District National Park.
The entrance into the yard is narrow. But once through there is plenty of parking. The village offers several places to park, safely. We have three cars that are parked permanently within the village on the local roads.

"The cottage is ideal for a couple."
Excellent location for walking holidays. Quite possible to walk from the cottage and not move the car. Host very amenable and keen to provide whatever information is required. You have to be careful entering the yard where the car parking is located as entry is narrow. Shouldn’t put anyone off as it is negotiable with care. Village of Youlgrave has three pubs, two cafes and three shops and is a short drive from Bakewell and Chatsworth House, both of which are worth a visit

"We had a very pleasant stay in The Barn."
It is a nice apartment with enough space. Everything you need during your stay is in the apartment. We were very well informed by Ken, the owner and Youlgreave is a pleasant community. There are a few nice pubs in the village and some small shops. The countryside is very beautiful and Bakewell, Haddon Hall and Chatsworth are in the neighbourhood. We are back in Holland now, but we miss the Peak District and Youlgreave already!
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. that was very much appreciated.
We are pleased to read that you found The Barn to your liking.
You are correct, Youlgrave is has an extremely pleasant community, with people who speak to each other as they pass in the street.
The 3 pubs all offer 'Home Cooked' food. The 3 village shops and the Fountain View Cafe offer all that our guest would need in terms of provisions; and are more than willing to provide you with your food requirements for your stay.
As you mention, we are blessed in having Haddon Hall (a Jacobean Mansion House) within walking distance and Chatsworth House only 10 minutes drive away.
