• "Really enjoyed our stay and everything was very good."

  It was warm and comfortable and the location was great. Only a couple of minor things were that a soap dispenser and hand towel in the kitchen would have been very welcome and a few extra bin liners would also have been nice too.

• "ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS ."

  .... EVERYTHING you could possibly want there, even to providing a top sheet on the beds. EVERYTHING clean and SPACIOUS. 'Clap hands' for Alison and her husband for providing such a home-from-home to explore the area. In a great location to do this too.

• "The Haybarn is an ideal holiday location - we had an amazing time there and have already booked a return trip!"

  The location of The Haybarn was perfect for us as it is close to a number of walking trails (we enjoyed walking parts of The Tissington Trail on an evening), but also has easy access to towns such as Buxton and Bakewell - lots of things to do to satisfy a broad range of interests and ages. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and well equipped, as well as beautifully decorated - we had everything we needed. Alison was a fantastic host and came to our rescue when there was a local power cut - she contacted the power company to find out what happened and a timescale for the power to come back on and brought us a camping stove to allow us to make a hot drink whilst the power was down. The kitchen was well equipped had we wished to cook within the cottage, but there were a number of good places to eat nearby. Thank you for a lovely stay!

  It is beautifully laid out and maintained and very comfortable. It is near to the Tissington Trail for walking and cycling and near lots of other beautiful places. The house is in a beautiful setting with views over the hills and dales. The owner is very friendly and helpful

• "The Haybarn is very spacious and well equipped, it feels like it’s all brand new within a traditional building."

  I think people should be aware there is a fairly substantial step up from the hallway to the living room as I particularly booked this cottage because there was a level access shower and ground floor bedroom for my dad to use. A handrail at this point would be very beneficial. The place is absolutely spotless, the views are incredible it’s very quiet and quite remote, 10 mins to the nearest village which has beautiful views and cafes. You could easily get there by bicycle and there is a locked up mini barn/garage to put your bikes in. Nearby walks it’s totally ideal for a quiet retreat and plenty of room. Thank you for a lovely stay (June 24)

  It was well equipped, extremely clean and very comfortable. During our stay a couple of issues arose that we’re out of control of the owner Alison, who regardless, went above and beyond to rectified things, keeping us continually informed. Would highly recommend this lovely barn conversion and we intend to return.

  A warm and comfortable base with a friendly, helpful and responsive owner. There are three generously furnished double bedrooms, a big kitchen with more than ample cupboard space & worktops. It's also in a great location for walkers and cyclists or indeed for anyone wanting to explore the Peak District. Highly recommended and would love to return.

• "This is a really lovely stone barn in the middle of rolling countryside."

  The Tissington Trail is a short walk away, along with other footpaths and so is a great base for walkers and cyclists. The interior decor is beautiful, the beds are comfortable and the bathrooms high quality. The owner was very accommodating in providing a non- slip mat for the shower on request. All in all we had a great stay. The only very slight negative was having to go out shopping for toilet rolls! It may having been stated in the info that these are not provided, but if so, I missed it. So remember to take some with you.

• "Have enjoyed our stay at The Haybarn exploring the area."

  The cottage is clean, spacious, warm, comfy beds and well appointed with everything you need in the kitchen and plenty of hot water for our family of four. The only thing I would is that we stayed for two weeks but only 7 dishwasher tables and two toilet rolls were left so take plenty with you. The owner did say to ring her if we needed anything but I don’t think we should have had to ring her as these should have been left. The cottage ia a credit to the owners.

  From beautiful views to superb facilities, the cottage is very well appointed, comfortable and cosy, and the ideal place to be for great walks (Tissington Trail, River Dove) or just for sitting outside with a brew and enjoying the peace. The owners are lovely, and nothing is too much trouble if you need any help. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you :)

• "Excellent stay in well equipped cottage (would have liked a sieve or something similar for draining rice but a minor issue!"

  ). Lovely location and beds very comfortable. Weather warm enough to sit outside and enjoy the long views westwards and across to the Tissington Trail. Enjoyed a circular walk down to the River Dove and back through Biggin Dale and then along the Tissington Trail back to the cottage (approx 7 miles). Also cycled both directions on the Tissington Trail which is practically on the doorstep and being elevated for the most part has fantastic views - probably the best off road cycle trail we have cycled so far in this country. Lockable cycle storage barn a real plus for anyone bringing their bikes. Will be back to cycle the other trails in the Peak District. The only concern I would have if there in the summer heat is not being able to open the window for ventilation in the ground floor bedroom since it is adjacent the road and cannot be securely opened a fraction and is only secure therefore when kept shut. I'm sure a solution could be found for this.

• "We had a fantastic time from the moment we arrived until the moment we left!"

  We had 2 teenagers and a small worry was that the WIFI would be awful but it was actually really good and reliable (which was great as my son needed to do some revision for his mocks). The underfloor heating was a bonus as well, as we even experienced a snow day! The barn's kitchen has every utensil you could want and I even got the teenagers to cook on 2 nights, which they enjoyed doing. We would love to come again, with the Tissington Trail on your doorstep, this is a walkers/runners/cyclists delight!

  The owner was friendly and helpful. We are keen cyclists and the property was situated only about 200 metres from the Tissington Trail, which also leads to the High Peak Trail. We had some great cycling on these trails and around the nearby villages. The cottage was also situated not far from the A515 Ashbourne to Buxton road which made getting to other sites like Dove Dale and Tissington very easy. All in all a lovely cottage with scenic views and lots to do and see!
