Ladycroft Barn

• ""Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful" William Morris."

  Well that would most certainly apply to Ladycroft Barn. The tasteful and thoughtfully renovated barn is an absolute haven and care has gone into every single aspect to ensure it is useful or beautiful (and mostly both). The grounds are outstanding and were a constant delight moseying around or simply admiring from the house. Cloudless nights provide extra sparkle as the secluded location equals limited light pollution. The barn is ideally situated for trips to Chatsworth, Wirksworth, Matlock, Tissington and so many other fabulous areas within Derbyshire. Just when you thought the property, could not be any more perfect, there is also the wonderfully welcoming hosts, Annie and Peter who clearly and rightly are proud of what they have achieved with the barn and are so happy to share the joys and peacefulness it has to offer. Twelve out of ten :-)

• "I had a wonderful five days at Ladycroft Barn."

  It is very conveniently located close to Ashbourne, surrounded by the glorious countryside of the Derbyshire Dales. Carsington Water is a stones throw away, wonderful for walking whatever the weather. The barn is a home away from home. Very well equipped and decorated wonderfully! The outdoor space is just magical, surrounded by stunning gardens. Breakfast on the patio surrounded by the gardens and wildlife was Derbyshire at its very best! The property is wonderfully private, with a huge parking space just outside, secured behind private gates. The hosts Peter and Annie couldn‘t have been more welcoming, The extensive welcome pack of groceries was all the things you need to get started, which was very welcome after a long journey. Definitely the best I have received at any holiday let! It has been a joy to stay here and I look forward to coming back again soon!!

  Dear Amanda Thank you so much for your fabulous feedback. We loved having you to stay - please DO come back again on your next visit! Best wishes Annie and Peter Property Owner

• "LITTLE GEM The property and furnishings are to a high standard."

  The welcome pack was lovely and is the best we have had so far, especially the cakes. The bedrooms are large and airy, the beds were very comfortable. Unfortunately, here was only one shower room, which was quite large and pleasant. The shower is a wet room design with no shortage of warm water and high pressure, we found there were no issues for the single shower room for four guests. The kitchen had all the appliances and utensils you would require for in-house cooking, with the welcome addition of a coffee machine with pods. The under floor heating was very good and we found that there was no requirement for any adjustment. The TV had all the usual streaming services that you would need. Outside, the gardens are just lovely and you are welcome to walk through and enjoy the beauty for the landscape. Patio furniture with two sunbeds are provided and the gated driveway is very private with space for several cars. However the stars of this experience are the hosts Dom and Annie, they made us very welcome and nothing was a problem. very helpful with information on days out and local restaurants and pubs. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ladycroft and would highly recommend.

  Dear Francis - what wonderful, thoughtful feedback on the barn, and on your stay altogether. We do love to meet and look after our guests - and there are so many fabulous places to visit and great pubs and restaurants to try out; we enjoy offering tips and recommendations. We're so glad you had a great time - you're very welcome to come back any time! Property Owner

  The surrounding grounds are lovely. The welcome pack was truly extensive - best we've ever had in a cottage. The owners are very friendly and helpful with ideas of where to visit or go out to eat. Well placed for lots of activities in the Peak District - walks, villages to visit and stately homes.

  Dear Anne Thank you so much for your kind feedback - we do enjoy welcoming our guests to Ladycroft, and of the course the wonderful Dales and Peak District are such a great area to visit! best wishes Annie and Peter Property Owner

• "The hosts were very welcoming and helpful, everything you needed in the kitchen, and the gardens were wonderful."

  The only downside was the noise from the traffic on the main road especially over the weekend with motorcycles speeding up and down. The garden furniture and seating in the lounge a little too low for older people like us

  Dear Ann Annie and I are so pleased you enjoyed Ladycroft Barn and its gardens and it pleases us that our hard work is appreciated. Regarding the B 5035, I can only say that the Kniveton road is a country B road and there is a speed restriction outside the barn. We are 50 metres from a 30mph zone. The garden furniture is a high quality teak table and chairs of standard size, and the sunbeds are also of standard height and size. Once again, Annie and I enjoyed having you to stay at Ladycroft Barn and we wish you a wonderful summer. Property Owner

• "The welcome package was much appreciated."

  The facility was great, spacious and beautifully located in its own grounds. Although there’s a Washer/dryer we think a washing line or similar would be a good addition. The beds were a little uncomfortable but I don’t suppose it’s easy to please everyone’s tastes. We loved the horses and the dogs. It was a great holiday and I would happily recommend Ladycroft Barn.

  Dear Grant thank you for your feedback - and for the lovely messages and card you left in the barn as well! We really enjoyed having you to stay in the barn, and Oscar and Freddie will miss their morning visits to you.... You are very welcome to use our washing line, if you come and stay again, which we hope you will. I'm sorry the mattresses didn't suit you, I do understand we all have different preferences for our bedding. Annie and Peter Property Owner

The hosts couldn't be more helpful and recommended some great places to eat out (one pub within walking distance) Ladycroft Barn was a great location for us to explore the Peak District. We hired bikes and cycled to Bakewell, hiked around Mam Tor, visited Chatsworth and went paddle boarding at Carsington water. Fabulous holiday, would highly recommend Ladycroft Barn.

• "Very impressed until the last day."

  Checked under the bed to make sure nothing had been dropped. Was disappointed and disgusted at the amount of dust and debris. Probably never been cleaned since the Barn conversion. What happened to deep cleaning? (COVID)

  Dear Susan We are so very sorry that you had this experience at our barn. We take great care to clean it ourselves, thoroughly, after every guest has left, and to prepare it for our new guests. We can only apologise that this has happened to you and your family. Thanks to your feedback we will make sure that this oversight in our cleaning system will never happen again: Unfortunately it was as a result of a one-off change in our cleaning arrangements. We can assure you that the rooms are all properly cleaned, by us, and we are proud of the fact that our guests regularly say that Ladycroft Barn is “spotless” in the feedback they leave. Once again thank you for your feedback. Best wishes Annie, Dom and Peter Property Owner

• "Beautiful barn conversion within 20 minutes of some of the best walks in the Peak District."

  Peter dropped by to say hello and even introduced us to his two fantastic horses and friendly dogs. The barn itself had been refurbished to a high standard with all of the home comforts you’d expect including underfloor heating throughout. The farm produce which greeted us was a nice touch and made for several tasty breakfasts before we set off on our walks. Ashbourne is literally 10minute drive if you’re looking to stock up on anything and the reservoir walk (3 hours full circuit) is only 10 minutes in the opposite direction. A wonderful stay.

• "Previous to arrival, we received an excellent information pack and our welcome pack was of particularly good quality and extremely welcome!"

  The property was very warm, cosy and delightful. The bed linen and towels were also of excellent quality, as were the kitchen utensils, crockery and cutlery. The decor is modern and stylish with a touch of rustic charm with some very interesting and unusual ornamentation. The soft furnishings are also very elegant and stylish. There's plenty of gated parking, and the gardens have been thoughtfully designed. The view through the large panoramic window is really lovely, especially with all the snow and even with all the rain recently witnessed.
