"We had a great time staying at Grove Farm Barn."
A perfect base to explore the surrounding area with our two children. The owners were happy to set up the travel cot, stair gate and provide the high chair for our 1 year old. Appliances and fixtures were all of excellent quality and the info and tourism leaflets were a great help. Thank you for a great stay.

"I found the cottage to be very comfortable and had everything I wanted during my stay."
It was situated in a lovely area that was well equipped for local shops, and main links to travel further. I liked that there was a bath as well as a shower. The bed was really comfortable and there was ample storage throughout. There was off road safe parking outside cottage. This was a lovely cottage which I felt totally at home. The hosts were on hand for any queries but not intrusive. I would totally recommend this cottage and I would love to go back.

"This is a first class property with quality furnishing and very friendly and helpful owners."
We thing that a handrail on the steps to the bedroom could be helpful for more elderly people otherwise first class.
-
"It was a really nice cottage in a beautiful location."

-
"The cottage is beautiful and was perfect for our family of four."
From the moment we walked in and the little note welcoming us it was great. The family who live next door were really friendly and our children played together. Couldn't ask for a nicer place to stay.
-
"We had a lovely time at Grove Farm barn."
It is perfectly placed to access local attractions for the little ones. We have already recommended Grove Farm barn to family members able to access the many local walking opportunities. The cottage itself was absolutely lovely, clean, and well maintained with all of the utensils available to enjoy your stay. We would definitely return to Grove Farm barn.

"A truly lovely property which you can see has been lovingly restored."
A real home from home with a high standard of fittings and contents. Shirley and Bernard were perfect hosts and have done an excellent job on the property. There was truly nothing missing and everything was of a very high quality. We loved the outside seating area with its beautiful views
-
"Fantastic two bed barn conversion in a great location."
Owners fantastic. This was our second visit in six months. Went with our 13 and 11 year olds. Explored all over from this base. Great cleanliness, decor and amenities.
-
"My second stay at Grove Farm Barn and just about to book my third stay."
Lovely property, great location and friendly hosts.
-
"This was an excellent property with quality and comprehensive equipment throughout."
A number of steps within the house maybe worth a check for some. Our only slight disappointment was that the outside table/seating was not 'within' the 'garden' as we imagined but it was still a very pleasant spot. The hosts were there but not in the least intrusive.
-
"The cottage was lovely very well renovated."
The view was lovely but if you’re not very mobile going out walking is quite hilly so we used the car we noticed there was a bus went passed so it would have been handy to have had a bus timetable in the cottage. Saying that we enjoyed our stay.
-
"This cottage is a beautiful, tastefully converted old barn, with everything you need for a comfortable stay in this area, including off-road parking right outside."
Our hosts were exceptionally friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble. Grove Farm is ideally situated for exploring Derbyshire, with Chatsworth, Matlock and Bakewell only a few miles away. I can't recommend this cottage highly enough.

"Lovely property in a great location to explore the Peaks/Dales."
Very comfy/cozy with lovely owners who live on site next door and so are on hand for any issues. We had a burst shower head - which was replaced within a few hours. Property was very clean on arrival and as described. Lots space for cars and a lovely view to enjoy the sunshine (if and when it choses to make an appearance!). Property is quite small so if you are into your outdoor pursuits and have loads of clothes and equipment you need to wash/dry/store this may not be the right place for you (no utility, bike room etc) but that is evident from the photos on the listing so just something to be aware of and not a fault of the property in any way. Owners have been provided some feedback as to how to improve a few things, hopefully they will benefit those of you that stay here in the future. Great place, you shouldnt be disappointed if you book this place!!

"We had a 7 night stay at Grove Farm barn."
On arrival first impressions immaculately clean and beautifully decorated throughout. The barn was very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The location of the barn was spot on also situated in Darley Dale which is not far from everything we wanted to do and see in Derbyshire the peak district. Being out every day it was nice to come back to a cosy warm relaxing environment with choice of a hot shower or bath. We would highly recommend this beautiful barn conversion to anyone. The two of us went January 2023 we are planing to return in the summer with our children as there is a second room with bunk beds so is suitable also for a family of 4. Danny and Hannah

As soon as we walked through the door you could see the quality. Everything is high quality throughout . Peaceful location, great view, warm and comfortable . The owner is very easy to deal with.

Well crafted layout and with nice thick walls which kept us warm. It was well furnished too, clearly the hosts seemed to have considered the little things which was nice. Its located in the peaceful rural area of Darley Dale Excellent value. We wish we stayed longer.

"We throughly enjoyed our stay."
The barn is beautiful and we couldn't have asked for more. The location was perfect for us and for what we had planned for the weekend. We wouldn't hesitate to book again.

"Excellent facilities and very comfortable property."
A house number would have been helpful in finding the property, otherwise everything was splendid.
-
"Beautiful cottage, surroundings and in a close proximity to the local attractions."
Great facilities in the cottage, nothing we needed that wasn’t there already and thought of. Very relaxing, clean and comfortable cottage to enjoy for families or couples. Would recommend to anyone 100%.
-
"The cottage itself was beautifull and well equiped."
However it was a disappointment for us to notice that the cottage was situated in a residential area. From the pictures at the listing on your website we assumed that the cottage was located in a rural area. To find out that it was in a residential area was a disappointment for us. We missed the privacy we expected, the more because of how the windows were situated in the cottage. Persons on the road and living in house next to cottage were able to look inside the cottage. We also informed the owner about our views in that aspect.
-
"Thanks for a perfect stay."
