"This was our fourth visit to either the Owls Barn or the Hay Barn next door."
The barns are comfortable and well equipped and in a beautiful location with wide ranging views in all directions over the countryside. The owner is attentive and helpful. The barns are very near the Tissington trail, a wonderful place for cyclist and walkers.

"Lovely cottage in a perfect location."
Very clean,it felt like we was the first ones to stay there. Children didn't want to leave, and that's a first with holiday accommodation. Wouldn't hesitate to book again. Loved cooking in the large kitchen. Great beds and soft bedding and towels provided. Missed having a welcome hamper which we've received in all other cottages on arrival but not a big deal, its more important to be clean which it was.

"Great stay."
Lovely location, well appointed.
-
"This is a lovely property."
Everything you hope for and expect (clean, comfortable, well-equipped) plus more to make it into a great stay (beautiful location, walks from the property, really comfortable) for our family of 4.

"Once again we booked via Sykes for the best in self catering."
This was a booking for my brother and his family which had a tough start due to power outages in Derbyshire following a huge storm. Sykes helped with sorting this out and everyone having a great Christmas. Huge thanks to Sykes for great support and selection of places to stay.

"Owls Barn was an ideal holiday property for the 6 of us in a beautiful and convenient setting for our teenage boys to run along the Tissington trail and for parents and grandparent to enjoy walking."
It was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and well equipped for all our needs. Alison was a friendly and helpful host who provided us with useful information about the farm and their beautiful herd of cows. This was our second visit to the barns and we look forward to going again.

"An outstanding property of a very high standard and quality."
Alison is a very friendly host who clearly takes pride in her properties. Plenty of walks from the door and local to some very pretty villages including Hartington (be sure to visit the Cheese Shop) and Tissington. This was our third stay at these cottages (also stayed at Shepherds Retreat) and booking again for next year. A truly hidden gem!!
-
"This is holiday accommodation of the very highest standard."
Excellent in every way and to be completely recommended as being the perfect place to stay to explore a beautiful area.

"Owl cottage is beautiful."
The owner has thought about everything that the holiday maker needs for a comfortable stay. The cottage itself is of a very high standard with tasteful decor. The location is scenic and quiet, with lovely walks from the doorstep, including the Tissington trail. It is within easy reach of places of interest a little further afield. We had a wonderful few days here and I would highly recommend this cottage.
-
"Excellent high spec accommodation and setting."
Only a very short stroll or cycle to access the Tissington Trail and to walks along the river Dove and the Waterloo Inn in Biggin is recommended. Great lunches and service after a long walk.. Owls Barn has lovely views from the kitchen windows. Great to meet the owner Alison who took the time to come and say hello. Would definitely stay here again. Probably the best holiday rental we’ve ever had. Highly recommended.
-
"Unable to find fault or anything wrong with this lovely accommodation."
Spotlessly clean, well furnished and equipped to an extremely high standard. Alison is very friendly, and is always available if needed. We have stayed in the adjoining property The Haybarn and it is excellent also. A quiet, peaceful and great location for exploring the area. We are looking forward to our third visit at the end of the summer.
-
"I am quite frankly disgusted by how I have been treated regarding this booking."
Unreasonable damages claims and then my responses ignored. Terrible experience
-
"Beautiful cottage finished to a very high standard set in farmland and with lovely rural views."
In an excellent accessible position just off the A515. The Tissington Trail is also just a short distance away. Ideal for cyclists and walkers and also accessible to lots of attractions - Chatsworth , Alton Towers etc We walked straight out of the door on several occasions into a wonderland of amazing spring flowers, particularly cowslips and orchids The owners also made time to come and see us with a wonderful welcome.

Owls Barn was very comfortable. Couldn't get the radiator to work in bathroom but we shut the downstairs doors and left the bathroom door open so it was ok in the morning . Comfy sofas after a day in the dales plenty of space for 3 couples with cars Would definately consider staying again
Dear Vanessa,Thank-you for your feedback and so glad you enjoy your stay.Regarding the radiator in bathroom,they are heated towel rails and the switch is on the outside of each bathroom.Sorry you miss them.We have since put information about the towel rails in the black folder. If you have any problems please ask that is what we are there for Kind regards Alison. Property Owner

Owls Barn has one family bathroom upstairs and a downstairs cloakroom. We also own the property next door, The Haybarn which you may find better suited for 6 Adults ( 2 bathrooms).

About the location
HARTINGTON
Bakewell 10 miles; Buxton 10 miles.
Hartington, situated in the Dove Valley in the Peak District National Park, was an important market centre in the Middle Ages, having been granted a market charter in 1203. Today the ever-popular village boasts lovely tea rooms, a cheese shop, old curiosity shops, traditional pubs and a splendid market square where the stone-carved village pump, once an important source of water for the villagers, still stands on the green. The local bars stock local ales brewed at the Leatherbritches Brewery in Fenny Bentley and Whim Ales in Hartington itself. The former Hartington railway station, about a mile and half from the village itself, is now a picnic area and the converted track is known as the Tissington Trail, popular with both walkers and cyclists. Hartington is also a good starting point for walking along Beresford Dale, a beautiful place with its curiously formed cliffs and rocks. Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are both within a 20 minute drive, and Alton Towers is within easy reach.
