"Beautiful property in the perfect location Lots of walks nearby and a quick drive to Buxton."
Loved the pub in the next village (Pack horse inn) lots of choice for vegan and gluten free and very friendly atmosphere! The property was very well stocked with bits you may need, was clean, comfortable with a stunning view.
Thanks so much. It’s always lovely to hear positive feedback! Property Owner

"We had a lovely holiday at Hall End Barn."
The property felt spacious and yet cosy at the same time (for a family of 6 and a dog). Communication with the owner was excellent and we loved the location. Would thoroughly recommend.
Thank you so much. It’s great to know you had a lovely time here! Property Owner

"This has been our third stay at Hall End Barn."
Returning each time is like putting on your comfy slippers…
-
"The property was lovely, clean throughout ,quiet location ,good parking, comfortable and warm ."
Clear instructions in the cottage manual and a good assortment of maps and leaflets. We were grateful to the owner for allowing us to arrive a little earlier than stated. A great place to stay for us and our dog. Think that the property would benefit from some coat hooks in the entrance and 2 bedside cabinets, rather than chairs in the main bedroom.

"Lovely property in a great location."
The most comfy beds we have ever slept in on holiday!
Thanks for your kind feedback. Comfy beds can make all the difference! Property Owner

"We had a fabulous stay at Hall End Barn."
The location was perfect ,great walks from the property and so peaceful yet easy access to main roads which was useful as we had snow. Easy to get a Tesco grocery delivery. Nice to have a large fridge /freezer and a washing machine. The barn is extremely well equipped, cosy and comfortable. The enclosed garden great for mutt-would be lovely to sit out in the summer months for a BBQ. Courtyard parking in front of barn door is brilliant for loading/unloading car.Great communication from Jerry.Would love to return.
Thanks for the lovely feedback. Hope to welcome you back soon! Property Owner

"Lovely spacious cottage, good secure outside space for the dogs, parking outside the barn for both cars, location is quiet but within easy reach of Bakewell, Buxton, Chatsworth etc."
Plenty of walks available close by. Everything we look for in a holiday cottage
Thank you for your lovely feedback, it is much appreciated and thanks very much for leaving the cottage very clean and tidy! Property Owner

"This property is lovely, well maintained, very clean, easily accessible with animals and children, good walks nearby and a lovely fire for when the dales wind and rain inevitably come around."
The village is quiet, off the beaten track and well worth a visit. easy access (30 minutes) to kinder scout, caverns and other points of interest.

"Had a lovely comfortable stay in this very nice barn conversion in a very quiet location."
Everything we needed was provided. Excellent for the dogs and easy to keep clean. Loved the rams just over the back wall and views of the horses and sheep from every rear window. Everything was good quality and the log burner very easy to use. Everywhere was lovely and warm. A really good place to stay as a base for the many spectacular walks on offer in the area (short drives away)
Thank you for your positive feedback. I’m pleased you enjoyed your stay and the surrounding countryside. Thanks also for leaving the place clean and tidy! Jerry Property Owner

"Lovely barn."
Well equipped and ideal for the dogs. Clean apart from few cobwebs in high access areas and round windows. Would/will definitely book again Hall End Barn

"Gorgeous cottage, everything we needed, clean and comfortable, great to have an enclosed garden for the dogs."
Fantastic peaceful beautiful location, would love to visit again!
Thanks so much for your lovely feedback Julie. You would be most welcome to stay again! Property Owner

"A tastefully renovated property, we found it very comfortable and homely."
The twin beds could possibly need replacing as they were quite hard. I would literate comments before that more coat hooks in the entrance hall/boot room would have been useful. The little dog basket was a lovely idea, with towels and toys. As a suggestion maybe a 10oclock departure instead of 9am would be more appropriate to give more time for packing and cleaning. Who wants to rush after a relaxing holiday? Overall though a perfect property and a perfect location.

"Outstanding accommodation, cannot fault anything about it."
Sorry for my tardy response but thank you so much for your lovely feedback. Jerry Property Owner

"The cottage was very comfortable, with plenty of room for 4 of us."
We felt that some kind of hanging rail would have improved two of the bedrooms, even a small one! Also, some kind of hanging for outdoor coats in the hallway would have been nice. Other than that, everything was ok.
-
"Coat stand in hallway would be useful."
A comfortable cottage and Sunny garden. Well placed for good walks.
-
"Lovely barn conversion, plethora of original beams, comfy, and a great location for exploring the White Peak area."
Will definitely go back.

"Very shocked to have to leave in such a rush, as we had assumed the booking ran from Saturday to Saturday!"
!! Therefore we couldn’t leave it as clean and tidy as we would normally have left a property. Cleaning crew were very accommodating and patient. The barn had everything we could have needed with the exception of a boot puller!!! Also we walked across country to Longnor to have a meal in the Cheshire Cheese pub only to find that it was closed, as was most of Longnor apart from the excellent little shop. The Royal Oak does excellent meals and there’s a good walk on the Tissington Trail to Parsley Hay, where there are facilities. An brilliant place to have a base and lovely to meet the foal in the back field.

Thank you for your lovely comments. You would be most welcome to come back! Property Owner

"A charming, snug cottage in beautiful surroundings."
Especially lovely was being able to walk from the cottage and return to the log burner for a cosy evening in. Comfortable beds, piping hot water, and good parking. A really lovely mini break.
Thank you. I’m really glad you liked your stay. You would be warmly welcomed back! Property Owner

"This barn sparkled with cleanliness and brightness, everything about it was quality,furnishings etc."
They had thought of everything you may have forgotten to take.an ideal little hamlet near to Buxton and handy for all peak District, places of interest.my only regret was I was only staying for two nights,they even provided toys and towels for the dogs.very well done to the owners.
Thanks for your lovely review Meghan. I’m pleased you had a great time and you would be welcome back anytime! Property Owner

"Fantastic quiet country cottage, brilliant for a rest and relaxation time."
Loved it so much x

"A fabulous barn conversion cottage in a beautiful setting."
Private, enclosed south facing garden. Great facilities although the taps in the shower and bath have their quirks. We really couldn’t fault the cottage overall, however, a coat stand of some sort in the hall/utility area would have been very helpful. Also, a radio in the kitchen would have been lovely and a plastic bowl in the large ceramic kitchen butler sink would save water when there’s only two of you washing up! It’s a great property in a beautiful location and we very much hope to be back...thank you
Thanks for for the lovely feedback. We will take your recommendations on board thank you. Property Owner

"A beautiful cottage in a great location for hiking and getting away from it all."
The facilities were excellent, like home from home but better.
Thank you very much Jacqueline. I hope you return one day! Property Owner

"Just what we needed - a very comfortable and cosy cottage."
Extremely well equipped in the kitchen…very important to an avid cook (like me!) there wasn’t a utensil or pan missing. We had a mini power cut which shorted the oven, but a quick text to the owner and we were given instructions on how to resolve in minutes. We explored the nearby hillsides and walked along the ridge of the quarry (very interesting peaks and landscape!) and also enjoyed a walk along the High Peak Trail with a stop at the end at the Royal Oak, a 10 minute drive away. Would definitely recommend if you want a lovely break in the countryside!
Thanks for your lovely feedback Lauren. I hope you return one day! Property Owner

Fabulous comfy & cosy cottage in a great location, would love to return (you can publish feedback as long as it is only christian name)
Thanks for the lovely feedback Carol. It would be great to have you back again. Property Owner

"Everything with the property was great."
Jerry and Gail had left logs and kindling for the fire, milk in the fridge and biscuits for when we got there. Instructions for using the heating etc we’re superb, plenty of equipment in the kitchen (even a potato masher (usually not one!) and spare towels and toys were available for the dog. A fantastic house and very comfortable for our stay in a beautiful part of the country.
Thanks for your lovely feedback Colin and sorry for the late reply. I’m so pleased you enjoyed Hall End Barn! Property Owner

"Lovely property with enclosed garden that was great for the dogs and a shared courtyard that was great for parking and ball games with the kids."
Well located for nice walks and pubs. The photos on the site don’t do it justice!
-
"We had a lovely stay at Hall End Barn."
We did have a little concern at the beginning, but this was dealt with imediatly by the owners, who were excellent in their communication. The Barn is in the perfect place for exploring all the Peak District has to offer. It was very clean and lovely warm when we arrived. Excellent for dog owners. We would stay again.
-
"We stayed for 7 nights in May 2021."
The place was very clean and airy. A large entrance hall, great for stripping off the walking gear, especially on wet days. The hall could do with a coat stand or additional coat hooks. The living room was very cosy but could do with an extra seat as the sofas only really accommodate 5 adults and the cottage is advertised for 6. The kitchen was well equipped and deceptively large, it would however benefit from a dishwasher as washing up over the low Belfast sink is not so great on the back! The bedrooms were again lovely and clean. The main bedroom would benefit from a king size bed. The adult bunk beds were in a very small room leaving little space to dress. Overall we were very pleased with our stay and would stay again.
-
"Lovely cottage."
Install a dishwasher.
-
"We had a great stay and the cottage was very warm, clean and well presented."
The kitchen is really well equipped and there was plenty of towels, linen and blankets. The only things we missed were a dishwasher and a tumble drier, the drier being the most needed on a wet week! Otherwise, everything was great and we'd still visit again.
-
"We enjoyed Hall End Barn it was very comfortable and had everything we needed."
-
"Very helpful owner."
Milk and biscuits left for when we arrived. Just great
-
"A lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings."

-
"Cosy cottage, great long burner."
Could have been a bit cleaner and a dishwasher would be a bonus
-
"The cottage was brilliant, clean , tidy it had everything you needed."
-
"We've had a lovely stay and enjoyed the cottage very much."
It had everything we needed and our children loved it. We visited lots of places nearby. We had great weather which helped, but after each day out we enjoyed coming back to the cottage to relax and cook our evening meal.
-
"A super cottage in the rolling hills of the Peakdistrict."
Our grandsons thoroughly enjoyed the garden and the lovely open hill.
-
"Lovely cottage, very well stocked kitchen and very picturesque area."
Thank you.
-
"We had a lovely stay location is perfect lovely walks from the doorstep!"
-
"We had a great time in a lovely location!"
-
"We stayed here whilst having renovation work done at home."
It was very comfortable and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Unfortunately I had to go to work and the weather could have been better for my husband but such is life. My only negative feedback would be to get new pillows in master bedroom they were a bit flat, so just replaced from other bedroom.
-
"Absolutely stunning property"
-
"From the moment you drive in the local neighbourhood of this cottage you know the type of stay you are in for."
A relaxing, nature fuelled experience that is peaceful and relaxing. We wanted for nothing in the cottage, the owners have thought of nearly everything (inc dog towels)! The kitchen was well equipped, the sofas comfy, the log burner atmospheric and the bedrooms spacious and comfy. Armed with an OS map there are plenty of opportunities for walking in the local area. Our 2 dogs loved the garden. A few people commented about WIFI signal it was a little sporadic but that did not affect us, take the cottage for what it is meant to be a space to relax. We loved it. Thank you.

"We have just returned from a week at Hall End Barn, Earl Sterndale which has been extremely disappointing due to a combination of false description and poor presentation."
Firstly the major problem was the main bedroom which you describe as 'king-sized'. This frankly is a gross misrepresentation and had we realised the bed is only a standard double (4ft6" x 6ft3") we would never have booked this cottage. Apart from the size of mattress, it was extremely uncomfortable plus due to the bed frame having been broken and held together with black adhesive tape, any movement resulted in loud creaking. We have attached photos showing the measurements and taped 'repair". Having endured one sleepless night we had to resort to using the remaining single beds in the cottage. The second major problem was what can only be described as the stench from the downstairs toilet. This had been mentioned by others in the visitor's book and was obviously well known due to the attempt to mask the smell by air fresheners. On arrival and first opening the door the smell was nauseous to the extent of not using the facility and whilst regular flushing and leaving the extractor fan on 24 hours a day prevented the smell permeating the rest of the cottage it felt most unhealthy. It appeared that either there is no soil venting or it is blocked making the use of the toilet and washing machine most undesirable. Whilst we have detailed these two problems, further factors also detracted from our stay: 1. On arrival at 3 pm, the cottage was bitterly cold due to the heating being timed to be off until later in the day. It did however warm up quickly once the heating was put on. 2. Light bulbs in the lounge, hall, landing and third bedroom (see photos) were not working, and whilst spares were supplied, we only replaced what was absolutely necessary as it is not our idea of a holiday to carry out basic maintenance that should surely have been checked before our arrival. 3. On our second morning we were disturbed by the arrival of three vans containing decorators and bathroom fitters for the cottage next door. The photos attached show a totally different picture of the parking/outside table area to that in your details. The noise of sawing, drilling and hammering continued throughout the week and was not what one expects when choosing a quiet secluded spot for a holiday in the middle of winter. 4. General cleanliness .... not something we would mention had everything else been good as we know that wooden beams do attract cobwebs, and splashes on walls can be missed as can dust and hair under sideboards. As previously mentioned in the visitors book, cleaning is obviously not a priority. We feel that what should have been a quiet, relaxing week in a beautiful cottage in an astounding part of the country was completely ruined by firstly inaccurate marketing (by the way, the nearest shop is over 2 miles away not under one, and the local pub doesn't allow dogs) and secondly poor presentation and maintenance. We regularly rent holiday cottages in different parts of the country (4 times a year on average) and believe we know what is reasonable to expect. This cottage and its owners are being let down if what we have experienced continues.
Many thanks for your feedback, we have fed your comments back to the owner in order to maintain our property standards. Your views are as valued as your initial booking so that we can keep providing the best UK holiday experience. Your points will also be reviewed to ensure that our property descriptions are accurate and not misleading. I can see the team have been in contact with yourself to discuss the comments further and the complaint has now been resolved with a satisfactory outcome. If you need to contact us then our lines are open 7 days a week from 9am until 7pm. Property Owner
