• "We had a absolutely wonderful time at the loft."

  The property is superb with the old wooden beams and full of character. When you step outside you are greeted with rolling fields and hills. We did not want to leave...until the next time take care and thank you

• "The cottage was clean and the hosts welcoming."

  We very much enjoyed the sauna and jacuzzi plus the friendly dogs. However, we would have greatly appreciated an information pack - we had to work the cooker from trial and error and when the electric tripped, we didn't know where the fuse box was. Also a welcome pack of basics and cleaning materials would have been useful.

  Fabulous walking on the doorstep- a number of nice pubs locally also. Will likely stay again. Good value.

• "Lovely weeks stay at the Loft with family!"

  Owners were great - we couldn’t work out how to turn on the sauna and they sorted this straight away. Plenty of room for 7 of us and two dogs, would highly recommend!

• "We were very happy with The Loft."

  Such a lovely setting with stunning views & an ideal base to travel from. Lovely dog walk through the woods. Hot tub & sauna were a welcome bonus. We would definitely recommend to others.

• "Upon arrival the place was dirty full of cobwebs so not been cleaned for a bit ..."

  Upon arrival the place was dirty full of cobwebs so not been cleaned for a bit There was nothing to clean the place with only a smidging of washing up liquid We had to go to the local Tesco to purchase cleaning equipment inc air fresheners The whole place smelt really bad we had to open all windows fir most of the day to get rid of some of it The kitchen pans and utensils were not up to cooking anything pans again old and rusty There was a small fridge that would not close so nothing getting cold there was an American fridge again this was dirty and full of marks were something had been spilt In one bedroom there were stains on sheet In terms of the location the pics on advert are a little misleading as there is a house across the court yard ( did not see anything of them thou ) The court yard is open not secured and the owners dog kept barking but friendly enough when it got used to you been there Was a bit annoying as we wanted to sit outside You need to be careful as living room is on mezzanine floor so if you had young children you might want to check stair gate There was no welcome pack or instructions how to use anything in the property we manged to sus it out but that’s not the point there should be information The bedrooms are all linked together so you walk through each one to get to the bathroom Sauna and hot tub were good and worked well again tho cobwebs and dirty The hot tub didn’t seemed to be maintained Or was anything to check the oh ect I have photos if required There is a nice view over the countryside I would not recommend this place at all I would have been better camping And if you are wondering I would have gone straight home but we had come straight from our daughters wedding and was having some work done on our house so we had to just suck it up We did leave a day early

  We loved the sauna and jacuzzi. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming.

• "The place was outstanding, the old feel to the place, everybody was so relaxed, loved everything about it, the owners were so helpful and very kind at every point, I don’t understand when I read some of the negative reviews on this place, as they seem very picky, I’ve stayed at lots of places and the whole point of staying here is it’s rustic old and it’s part of its charm, so why search for perfection, yes there is is one bathroom And a shower room in with the hot tub, but it’s part of your stay and it’s what you make it, torches provided to walk through the rooms at night to get to the toilet, again great and all part of the charm at your stay, so embrace it, this is what made it all the experience and unique part of staying in a beautiful large barn ."

  me my family two dogs and 82 year old mother loved every minute of it !

• "On departure I left detailed feedback which I hope will help improve the stays of future guests."

  Cold in afternoon. Twin bedroom with 3 outside walls was cold, draft, noisy. Inadequate lighting in bedrooms and living area for reading. Insufficient crockery, toilet rolls, towels and bedding for 6. Had very sore eyes and dry skin on first night in hot tub, but afterwards realised that this was due to very large chlorine tablet in the water. Chlorine gas in the enclosed room was hazardous: we opened the door and windows, and removed the tablet for the following nights. Good location, great walks nearby. Field for the dogs to go in. Bar billiards was fun.

• "Great stay, responsive owners."

  Relaxing stay in a beautiful setting, the property has so much character and was perfect to escape society. However; just a short journey into the local towns, or sheffield, or various country walks. Dogs on the property were very friendly. Definitely would recommend.

• "Great space for a large group of friends or a big family - hot tub and sauna were a real treat, and communication was great in the lead up to the visit."

  We really loved the place and will be back, we even managed a bbq between the rain - and the farm dogs were great company for ours. A few niggles - I was sure the advert said towels were included, but they weren't there and we only had one between us - and it is the first stay I have ever had where there wasn't a toilet roll on arrival, we had to go shopping!

• "The accommodation was nice, the beams are a real test of memory though!"

  The layout was a bit of an issue, as you have to walk through each bedroom to get to the next one, and the toilet so when the little one is asleep you have to creep and duck. The view was amazing, when you sit outside you just feel every bit of stress release, there is a small courtyard which leads onto a big field but this was out of use due to a horse and a foul being on there, this was lovely as they came over to see us, it would of been great if we could of used that field as there was not much room for the dogs and the little one to burn some energy off. The working dogs were lovely, they just like to bark a lot so we had our wake up call each day. Over all we had a nice time and the weather was great. The owners leave you to it, if you have an issue you can contact them.

• "The farm was lovely."

  The weather was clear but cold, and the number we were ringing and messaging was the house phone not the mobile, we rung the number shakes gave on their site. We just wanted the heating on from 4pm for the last 2 days but unfortunately they didn't get the message. Otherwise lovely place and people. Take treats for the dogs,they're adorable and I lost my border collie 5 weeks earlier but they brought me so much joy.

• "- [ ] The main bedroom is lovely and very big and the bed is great."

  Very comfortable. However, there is a skylight window directly opposite which doesn’t have a blind or curtain so at 4am - wakey, wakey! - [ ] Kitchen is fine and a nice room to sit in. The oven needs replacing though as the top part appears to work but at a very low heat. Took 30 minutes to cook a baguette (normally 10). Bottom main oven doesn’t work at all. No markings on the knobs or any instructions. All the crockery needs replacing too as it has chips on. - [ ] Living room is a nice size but can be chilly and feels dark. The sofas are completely worn out and collapsed, definitely in need of replacing. - [ ] No welcome pack with any details in about bins, when to put them out or where. Having some local info might be a nice touch with directions to local walking routes maybe? - [ ] The Billiard table is positioned against a wall and is wonky and worn out. The skittles are so worn out and chewed that they don’t stand up making the table unusable - [ ] The hot tub is old, with some cracks in the laminate base but is actually really good with fantastic powerful jets. However, it’s inside a small shed and the cover is completely broken so that the only way to remove it to use the hot tub is to fold it back and then on to the floor. The problem is that it is then almost impossible to pick up and put back on the top due to the lack of access around the tub. Great hot tub, needs a new cover! - [ ] The Sauna is brilliant. Lovely and clean and works great - [ ] The farm itself is lovely and the cottage is situated with easy access. It’s handy for your dog to wander around in a safe area and it can also access the field as well for a wee at night On the whole, albeit it’s nice enough for a few days I wouldn’t want to stay for a week. It just feels a bit run down and not looked after. I think the owners would benefit from staying it it themselves for a couple of days to see it as a visitor does

• "We stayed for 4 nights over Christmas - wow!"

  The Loft is very homely and comfortable and we were all delighted to see that a real Christmas tree and decorations were there, thank you for this. We were a group of 3 adults and 4 children age between 6 and 10, and there was plenty of room for us all with all bedrooms being large and spacious. We cooked Christmas lunch and found almost everything we needed to do this, the only thing we were missing was a pair of scissors! The owners were both very helpful, introducing us to the two farm dogs, letting the children visit the horses in the stable and answering our questions for where to go for a walk - beautiful countryside! We would highly recommend and would love to return in the summertime.

• "We have just had a lovely stay at The Loft."

  The property is in a beautiful location on a working farm. The accommodation is set out well but would not be recommended for anyone with mobility issues. And there are very low beams. Worth leaving a lamp on at night in case you get up and forget this! The owners provide many things that are not always in a self catering property which was great - toilet rolls, kitchen roll, washing up liquid etc. This was really appreciated. It is worth noting that there is a dishwasher although not listed in the features. The hot tub and sauna are a great addition to the property and the owner showed us how to use them just after our arrival. The dogs are just lovely and greet you every morning. They are obviously very used to the visitors and look expectant at breakfast time! If you really don’t like dogs, this might not be the property for you! The only thing I would mention is that there are no mirrors in the bedrooms which makes getting ready quite difficult but this could be easily solved. However, this is the only fault I can find with the Loft. Highly recommended!

• "We were blown away by the outstanding view as we pulled up to the loft!"

  It exceeding our expectations! Every morning, it felt like we were in the countryside of a foreign country -it is that beautiful and peaceful! The loft itself was clean, accommodating and our pups loved all the space to run and explore. Suzanne and Andrew answered any questions we had and we just didn’t want to leave! The stay really helped us unwind and take a break from our daily lives. I would strongly recommend and would love to come back. Most importantly, we want to say how loving and warm the owners dogs were to us all, it was a treat to wake up, open the door and be greeted by Twiggy. She was so motherly to our pups and being around the dogs really helped with some their socialisation! 5 star stay!! Thank you

  We enjoyed our stay. Easy access to property. very quiet and secluded spot. Fantastic sauna and hot tub which gave our stay extra comfort given the weather. Thank you. Points for improvements: the cleanliness could be improved. spare bedding will really help particularly that the property was very cold the first night we arrived but improved afterwards. People have different preferences, but we would've liked being introduced to the property by the owner same or next day given they lived locally.

Although it is a working farm you were never disturbed or feeling as though you were in the way. We would definitely recommend this venue to others, just beware the low beams if you're tall! Really enjoyed the Bar Billiards table, so much so that we're really wanting to buy our own!

  Kids loved feeding the horses and being able to roam in the hills. The kitchen wasn’t clean, splashback needed cleaning, dishes were left dirty in the dishwasher, only one dishwasher tablet, no dish cloth, no kitchen role, no hand wash....if going Make sure you take supplies. Jacuzzi lovely but looking at the mould whilst sitting in it wasn’t that relaxing. Saying that, huge space, loads if room for kids to play and plenty of space to spread out!

Unfortunately our regular housekeeper was away and we are sorry our usual high standards appear to have slipped.

  It is a spacious comfortable characterful dog friendly property, with beautiful views and the added bonus of the hot tub, sauna and exclusive use of a gas BBQ. It’s a bit away from the nearest convenience store so we were glad that we had arranged a supermarket delivery on our arrival. Sharing the one bathroom through interconnecting bedrooms proved challenging at times, especially with a sleeping infant, but it didn’t spoil our break. Just something to be aware of. The local pub is a mile away and is closed on a Monday. Great local walks and despite the storms we successfully completed two of them. Andrew and Sue are very friendly relaxed and accommodating hosts. Thank you both for making us feel welcome and at home in your lovely property.
