The accommodation was very comfortable and wonderfully quiet.The close proximity to pubs resteraunts and general amenities gave the best of both worlds, a countryside location but still accessible to things you need.I enjoyed making a connection with you Pam and look forward to getting to know you and Nick in the future.It would have been nice to get to know Nick better instead of a brief meet at the property which was my fault.You were perfect hosts knowing you were there if we needed you.Thankyou x

A beautiful property extremely well appointed in a great location, ideally situated to take advantage of its proximity to the Peak District. The cottage was spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped and communication with the owner could not have been better. Thoroughly recommended..

We really enjoyed our stay at the Hopton House barn. This is one of the best rentals we've ever stayed in. The house was modern, decorated very tastefully and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay in the Peak District. It was a perfect home base for touring the area and ta couple of walks during our six day visit. Communication with the host was excellent, including instructions on locating the property, check in/out and even some restaurant recommendations for nearby spots. Even though there were only two of us, the house can easily accommodate several more people. If we're ever back in the Peak District, we'll be sure to visit again. We loved it.

An excellent Cottage
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful, modern, and spotlessly clean countryside cabin. The owner was kind and welcoming. The cabin’s cozy yet stylish design was perfect for our family, offering all the comforts we needed. Surrounded by serene nature, it was an ideal escape from the city. We loved every moment and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend this charming retreat for anyone seeking a peaceful getaway!

The pictures were nice but reality was even better! Tastefully decorated, thoughtfully presented. Kitchen and lounge were perfect spaces for a family gathering. Enjoyed every minute. The host’s restaurant recommendations were also spot on. We had a lovely lunch and afternoon at Wildhive.

From the moment I made the initial enquiry, Pamela was fabulous! She provided lots of information, responded quickly to messages and was so helpful in highlighting local attractions/places to eat etc. Lake View Barn is a beautiful property with everything we needed for our stay. Beds are very comfortable and linens are high quality and luxurious. Definitely recommend this beautiful home to others

Wonderful little place!
We booked this property as a place to remote work and explore the area. It fit the need with space for 2 adults and 2 kids. Pamela was very attentive with requests (extra towels, boards games for rain days). The property is in great condition.

New Favourite Place
It was the middle of February Half Term, we are in the process of renovating our house (2 years so far), and we all needed to get away for a few days. We wanted to stay somewhere that had character, had been recently, and tastefully refurbished, had a large open plan kitchen, and enough space both inside and out for 2 adults, and 3 young people (17, 14, and 10), and was in The Peak District.
The Barn was perfect - I arranged a last minute, long weekend stay, with the help of the property's fantastic host, Pamela. Pamela was the perfect host, and responded quickly to any questions I had.
We fell in love with the local area and will definitely be back to explore The Peak District in the near future.
