A really nice place to stay in the Peak District. The tiny village is very cute, the house is nice and the hosts welcoming. They set The Old Barn apart from most other places you will ever stay. Aside from being warm and so nice to chat with the breakfast was ace! It will set you up for a great day and make you wish you were back at The Old Barn each morning during your trip. If they gave Michelin stars for breakfast they would have one.

Beautiful property in the countryside near Buxton, hosted by a very lovely couple and their friendly cat. Comfortable room and great breakfast. There is a charming old church down the road and a pubic foot path if you fancy a stroll. Close to Chatsworth House, Lyme Park, and the Manchester Airport. I took a few photos on an early morning walk in March that I will try to post. :)

Lovely visit, perfect for couples. Modern, clean and very welcoming visit. Location is quiet countryside, easy to find. The room is modern, lovely bathroom. The only thing we found was could do with curtains in our room, as the light crept in first thing. The breakfast is upstairs, very lovely warm welcoming couple that own the barn. We had a vegetarian breakfast, orange, coffee, tea, cereal, fruit and yogurt. Amazing choice and quality of food. Handy having shoe trays by our door for muddy boots. Overall a lovely stay. Worth a visit, local neolithic burial sites around the area.

I booked the Old Barn for my partners Birthday. From the moment we arrived, we had a warm welcome from Lynn & Pete, who had arranged flowers and Prosecco at my request. An explanation of the area along with taxi numbers left us with no questions and our weekend was very enjoyable. We took all recommendations on things to with the Tap House Brewery a fan favourite.A very personal experience and we will definitely return in the future. Would highly recommend booking.
