"What an absolute gem of a place Liz & Rueben have ."
We had a lovely time in the cottage everything was top notch from the crockery to the furnishings. So much so we got home and booked again for next year ! There are plenty of places to visit around the cottage too . The icing on the cake was the first afternoon a hare came into the courtyard.

"The Barn was wonderful."
It’s extremely well fitted out, everything was there, it was a real home from home experience. The games room and hot tub were just amazing, plenty of things to keep us entertained and in a wonderful environment. It really was a great location too, plenty of things to do within east driving distance. Liz was quick to get back to us, providing high chairs, travel cots and stair gates. Good communication. We had a fantastic long weekend, thanks Liz and Ruben

"Excellent accommodation with plenty of glasses, plates & cutlery and all you need to cater for a large family and plenty of room for everyone to eat, and relax."
The beds were all comfortable and all other facilities were fabulous, good quality and everything was spotless.The family loved the large games room and variety of games available. The owner was very friendly and was so kind to agree that the groomsmen for my son’s wedding could get ready at the property so that we could take photos and leave for the wedding together. We would love to return for another family holiday. Highly recommend.

"Small Lane Barn was just what you need in a holiday property, a fantastic home from home."
Liz and Reuben are very welcoming hosts and should be very proud of the accommodation they have provided for quest to stay. The views are amazing and the hot tub was very pleasing at the end of a day out. We found plenty of places to visit from spa's to boats and steam trains. The Trentham Estate was a great place to visit. I would only have one comment and that would be to have a long mirror. A lady likes to have a long mirror.

"What a wonderful long weekend in such a rare find!"
The whole place was beautifully finished with amazing views and quiet evenings. Having access to a games room was the cherry on the cake for us and was used a lot!
Liz, the owner, was on hand for any problems, with the only issues being parking and finding it can be a bit tricky, but Liz was brilliant. She let us know about road closures before we set off, helped with parking too and on top, let us have a 4-hour early check-in. She checked the hot tub daily, which was a concern turned breath of fresh air for us.
We had an incredible time and can’t wait to give our annual trip a permanent residence!

"From the outset, Liz was great & contacted us with everything we needed to reach the cottage."
When we visited, there was a lot of snow and ice so Liz & Reuben actually sent us the best routes to avoid the worst of the weather.
The house is just awesome and the standard of cleanliness and furnishings was nothing but exceptional. We had the best time and couldn't thank Liz & Reuben enough for their care and attention. We will 100% be back and couldn't recommend this property enough.

"Thank you to all of you concerned with making our stay at Small Lane Barn a really enjoyable experience."
All 8 of us were more than happy with the facilities, right down to the small detail. We made good use of the Hot Tub and Games Room facilities, which allowed for the girls their time, and the boys their's, as well as having plenty time together as a whole. We couldn't have been more pleased with our choice, and will no doubt be making a return in the very near future, all being well. Many thanks once again from all of us.

"Small Lane Barn is an absolute gem."
It is probably the nicest property we have ever stayed at for a short break (4 days). The level of detail, quality of finishing and facilties are second to none. Sitting in the hot tub while looking over the peak district landscape was so relaxing. My daughters loved the games room and went everyday to play a variety of games. We used it as a base for Alton towers and Trenham which are both only 28mins away. We will definatley be returning and the hosts are so welcoming too. 5
