Tithe Barn

Stayed at the lovely sumptuous tithe barn we enjoyed a wonderful location that gave good access to many lovely walks and restaurants the facilities at the barn were lovely very comfortable and had everything we required.

The maintainance of the property was let down a little by bulbs not working and not knowing where to leave rubbish but otherwise we would not complain and we intend visiting again soon .

Beautiful outlook across Melbourne pond.

So relaxing to sip coffee and enjoy the wildlife. Accommodation was excellent, well appointed and furnished. Lacked a few essentials such as dish cloth and salt/pepper but we ate out for all but one meal so not major issue for us. Melbourne situated in East Midlands airport flight path and donnington race track not far away so plenty of noise pollution if you plan to stay local but again, not major issue for as using barn as staging post for visiting Peak District. Highly recommend the property.

We spent 9 days there this Christmas and I cant say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay there.

The place was well stocked with kitchen needs, clean and warm. The view of the pool was delightful. Very conveniently located to everything in Melbourne. Having grown up in Melbourne I knew the area very well but the accommodation really made the trip wonderful.

Beautiful setting and barn has everything you need.

Very clean and comfortable. Melbourne is a lovely little town with plenty of pubs, restaurants and takeaways to choose from. Chip shop, Chinese takeaway and Indian restaurant were all lovely. We would highly recommend this barn and location. Thank you for a lovely stay

Perfect location with stunning views.

We have already booked for next year!! We found the settee’s a little uncomfortable but that is personal taste.

Excellent stay and has a wow factor.

Wonderful accommodation and very quiet and peaceful with fabulous views. Well kitted out kitchen and lovely treats. Wi- fi was perfect and beds comfortable. Our only negatives were.. the shower does not drain quickly enough and there is water egress to the bathroom, a sign with the cottage name would be helpful when arriving in the dark (the key safe is behind the drain pipe) and use of an outside tap to rinse doggy paws. Otherwise a perfect stay!

Beautiful barn conversion, very comfortable and everything supplied that you could possibly need.

Amazing place to stay.

Location is perfect

Great location fantastic amenities can't wait to go back

Fantastic stay with you and will return again many thanks!

Wow what a view absolutely awesome place a real treat The sofas are a bit uncomfortable but totally made up for by the beds which were amazing Definitely will come again Arthur

Lovely view and location .

Very well equipped and comfortable , with the exception of the two sofas , which were a little " slumpy" Unfortunately on the Friday of our stay a portable generator was being used within the confines of the property for most of the day and was slightly disturbing .

Just fantastic !

We had an amazing stay and can’t wait to go back .

An excellent property, we have stayed on three occasions in the last 3 months.

Comfortable and warm in the main bedrooms and spacious kitchen/lounge/dining area. The games room is cooler, but you have to appreciate that you are living in a converted barn with high roof structure. The underfloor heating to living areas and the luxurious bathroom, and bedroom 2 works very well. The view from the living room window, overlooking Melbourne pool is superb, as are the sunrises. A discreet sign indicating the front door to Tithe Barn would be a help, when we first arrived, it was wet and dark, and it took us a while, and talking to local residents to know where the entrance was. My wife has mobility issues, but the 8 steps up to the first floor level were quite manageable, and once up there, everything is on one level. Church bells, and bell ringing practice are fine, it is a beautiful church next door. There is some aircraft noise from Castle Donnington, but that is unavoidable all around the area, and only at certain times, it did not detract from our stay. The staff from the Estates office dealt with any queries we had in a pleasent and efficient manner. Melbourne itself is a delightful village, and very friendly.. We reccomend the property and the location, but would rather keep it as a well kept secret!

The first-floor property is in a lovely location overlooking Melbourne Pond.

It is comfortable and well-equipped, and very convenient for walks, exploring, shops, pubs, etc. The only noise was from church-bells, ducks and geese - completely charming! We will definitely be back.

Wonderful place in a beautiful location with lots of local walks and places to visit.

Very relaxing break. Barn is lovely - comfy beds, kitchen well equipped for what we needed, snooker table appreciated by teenage son as were the welcome cakes.

Highly recommend- lovely building extremely well equipped and comfortable.

Beautiful area and views and lovely walks. Nearby facilities are great. Very much appreciated the lovely welcome gifts and snooker table/ games were well received. Would have liked a sweeping brush and mop. Access to the garden at the back would have been a lovely addition and plenty of room for a dart board in the game room. Property wasn’t the easiest to identify so a name plaque would be a great addition and a few proud nails in the floor in the game room need knocking back in. It is a beautiful building though and we will definitely be back and highly recommend it to others.

Beautiful barn conversion with amazing sights and experiences locally.

Incredible food and the dog loved watching the ducks every morning.

Beautiful property.

Fantastic location with stunning views. Would definitely come back.

Beautiful property and setting.

View from the front window was stunning. The snooker table was an added bonus. Everything we needed was there.

This is our second visit to Tithe Barn.

We had an amazing time and plan to come back again soon!

What a wonderful magical place Tithe Barn is.

We felt so comfortable and relaxed. Melbourne has everything you’d wish for and Melbourne Hall, the beautiful gardens and of course Johnny Vegas’ Fields of Dreams are within a couple of minutes walk. The view of the lake with the swans, geese and ducks from the lounge window is breathtaking. Anyone tall, wear a hat as there are low beams! You WILL get used to them. Can’t recommend enough.

Excellent We will be back.

Low ceilings in parts of the house can be a problem for tall people. Nothing you can do about that.

We had a superb week in The Barn.

Everything surpassed our expectations. We were very comfortable, the furnishings and bedrooms inviting and a well equipped kitchen . The bathroom was warm and I would say luxurious. Superb views too. Please do forward our appreciation to both the owner and the caretaker Sarah . We would love to return John and Suzanne Burns

Absolutely beautiful place and the surroundings , people very friendly we couldn't get over how lovely the views were Thanks for having us we can't wait to return

It was a home away from home.

The hosts had thought of everything - even with an 18 month old in tow. Lovely cakes and toiletries were awaiting us on arrival. Fabulous location to access the facilities of Melbourne Hall and their Gardens. The food market in the Courtyard on Wednesday evenings is a must and so is the brewery and tea rooms. Easy walk in to town where there are a number of independent shops, cafes and a Sainsbury’s local. We had a fabulous stay and well worth booking.
