"This property, the facilities and the ambiance are perfect!"
It was a luxurious treat to stay here. Loved every second of our stay. One suggestion would be that I would have found it really helpful to have the owner contact details at the point of booking so that I could check availability of the dog boarding option. Sykes wouldn’t give this to me until full payment was taken, which left it too close to the date of arrival. We used another local option which was great, but I’d have absolutely booked in with the owners had I had the ability to do so at the point of booking.
Thank you Rachel and yes I would have been delighted to have looked after your dog for you had we have both known.
Hopefully you will get the opportunity to visit us again and have will be able to assist there.
So glad you found everything luxurious, we do try very hard to allow our guests to have a perfect stay.
Thank you for choosing ours we very much appreciate your custom.

! A cupboard full of games (which we used a lot) and an amazing games barn with pool table, table tennis etc which was used extensively.
Would definitely recommend this place, lots of open spaces for dog walking and an enclosed garden with sauna and hot tub.
Would definitely return......

"Fantastic location and the holiday home is equipped with the very best of everything you could possibly need."
We've stayed in many holiday homes over the years and this was the very best. Very good chance we'll be coming back.
Our little Staffie was a bit freaked out with the frequent bird scarer or shotgun noises in the area (we visited in late July), but that's hardly the owner's fault.
Thank you for your review we very much appreciate receiving all reviews to help us maintain our very high standards.
I’m not quite sure what noises were happening as the surrounding land is ours and we do not have a bird scarer or a shoot ? Hopefully you would be able to come again and not hear these noises.
I’ve not had anyone comment further on this but I will definitely keep an ear out. Thankfully it’s normally complete peace and quiet.
Please do come back and try us again.
Many thanks
Jo & Giles.

"Another wonderful stay at Parlour Barn."
Centrally located so we can all meet up as a family.
Truly delightful and well fenced garden for our dogs.
The sauna and hot tub most welcome after a good days walking.
Visited the pottery factory shops on this occasion and got some good bargains at the Emma Bridgewater shop.
There are a great selection of board games inside and outside in the wooden shed for when the weather is dry.
Jo and Giles are always attentive should we need them .
Always a pleasure to welcome you and your family. We thank you very much for coming back to us many times now. I notice you are back just before Christmas so we shall look forward to welcoming you back again. Amazing.

"Absolutely faultless."
This is a very well thought out property. It is well equipped, makes the most of the location and is brilliantly set out. Sunshine on the patio at breakfast and sunset either in the hut, hot tub or lower garden. Bed comfort was divine. We all hit the pillows and slept really well. The open plan layout is great when one is cooking, others playing board games or reading at the same time. Lots of lovely touches like the welcome pack, fresh flowers and toiletries.
Fantastic location, easy access to daytime adventures and peaceful at night when you kick back and enjoy the magnificent views. All you hear is birdsong and farm animals, minimal passing traffic.
The games barn, hot tub and heated hut take care of what to do when you're not out and about exploring. This property has all eventualities covered.
A little constructive feedback: if we'd known that the lower floor was out of bounds for dogs we'd have given this place a miss.......and it would have been our loss! Thankfully we'd taken a vets pheromone spray so having their bed in a strange place away from hoomans wasn't a deal breaker.
Also for small breed dogs the garden is not 100% secure. The patio table obscures a visible gap in the chicken wire and our shihtzu's discovered it. Again no great harm done, a little vigilance kept them and the cows apart. There is so much more space for them to play and explore.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying here and would strongly recommend it.
Thank you Lisa so glad you all had a lovely stay.
We did see you had pointed out an escape route in the fence so we shall of course sort asap.
Sometimes the cows are abit too friendly and keen to say hello.
We hope you will come back and visit us again.

"I couldn't have asked for a nicer destination for my hen party weekend."
The Parlour Barn was simply stunning inside, it actually felt alot bigger than it looked in the pictures! And the whole house was spotless, I didn't see a single piece of dust or dirt anywhere.
The views from the house are just amazing - rolling hills and the sheep & lambs!
The hot tub was perfect, clean and all set up ready to use, and under a cover in case of bad weather. The sauna was also lovely and clean too.
We absolutely loved the games room! We spent the whole day in there and didn't get bored, we loved the karaoke machine and the bar with the saddle stools were so cool!
There is plenty of space for 6 people, it didn't feel cramped at all and you could easily stay here for a week. Lots of nice touches like separate towels for showering and using the hot tub, and nice fluffy robes to use, also the welcome hamper was such a wonderful surprise!
The garden is lovely too, plenty of space if you have dogs or children with you. Lots of local walks on your doorstep and a gorgeous spa only 30 mins away, and the local town is lovely with lots of choices of restaurants.

Definately the best equipped, most comfortable, well thought out home we've stayed in. Nothing was too much trouble and in particular the help from the owners throughout the stay was invaluable - great recommendations for places to visit, as well as stay.
To give an idea of just how good they were.... despite being in the middle of the peak district and amazing for walks, our 'teens' were falling about and moaning / end of the world that one of the playstation controllers was a bit slow. Just happened to mention it to Jo and less than an hour later a brand new controller was delivered personally, and in the little darlings hands. And they were quiet for an entire day. Bonus points.
We were a family of 5 plus two v active boxer dogs - who loved EVERYTHING, particularly being able to run around in the massive outdoor space and also dipping their noses into the jacuzzi!

"A very luxurious barn conversion with top spec equipment along side the hot tub, proper hot coal sauna and champagne hut (all with lighting and heating)."
The beds were incredibly comfortable and the pillows were like nothing we had slept on before. Jo the host was good enough to share the make with us as it cured my bad back and my mother-in-law's arthritic pain! We had so much fun exploring and playing the games in the shed on the beautifully kept lawn which was ideal for the crochet and badminton. We had a lot of fun in the games hut especially when we used the cowboy bar with saddle stools. This aided our kareokee attempts.
Jo cooked us two delicious meals that were of fascistic quality and satisfied even the fuzziest eaters. Gluten free was also no problem. The owners could not have been more accommodating. Nothing was too much bother. The barn was full of surprises and equipped like no other we have ever stayed in before. They're were 6 draws of games. We even had permission to book an animal party from Animal Magic in Buxton as our disabled son couldn't get out and about. That worked brilliantly. We aimed for a good holiday to make happy memories and we got that and at so much more! It was worth every penny and we'd happily return. What an absolute jem of a find.

"Amazing place to stay in the Peak District, it has the wow factor from the moment you walk through the door, every thing has been so well thought of even down to the doggy treats left for our dogs."
The quality of the decor and furnishings was exceptional. The hot tub, sauna and games room was an added luxury well received after a walk round the peaks. Thank you to the owners for a lovely weekend.

"Wow! I am lost for words as to what to say about this property!"
We had the most heavenly long weekend staying here and the owners of this house have thought of everything, even the things we didn’t know we needed. The hot tub and sauna are just the ultimate bliss and if sitting in isn’t your style, the informative leaflets on where to go and what to do were amazingly helpful! We are always up and down the country so will definitely endeavour to stay here again and will definitely recommend this place to our family and friends.

"Wow what an amazing property."
Spotlessly clean and to an extremely high standard. A lot of time, effort and money spent on this property. The beds were super comfy with the best pillows (I made a note of the make and will be buying one for myself). We have 2 boys aged 8 and 10 who really appreciated the PS4 in the barn and Shared games shack which we spent hours of fun in during storm Dennis. I can honestly say it’s the best property so far we have stayed in, and the little extra touches by the owner such as the hamper, Prosecco and valentines chocs were a really treat. The property is really close to Alton Towers which was closed for the season still during our visit, so we will definitely be back for our theme park fix soon. The idea of coming back to the fantastic hot tub and sauna is blissful. Thank you for such a relaxing stay

"A truely wonderful place to stay."
The online pictures don't do justice to the quality of thls barn conversion.
Being a little picky the boiler noise can be slightly intrusive in the one bedroom, in an otherwise whisper quiet house.

"Amazing property, it was perfect."
Very cosy but open plan so you can socialise while cooking! The games room had everything you could ever want! Hot tub was amazing and private with lovely view! Hamper and processo was not expected and a lovely touch! We really couldn't have found a better property. Host was fabulous as well and was there if we needed them, but left us too it! We've already started talking about coming back next year! xx

"Booking process simple and straightforward - only criticism is that I was charged an admin fee to extend by one day."
Have a passionate dislike of admin fees as these should be built into profit margins.
The property itself was fantastic and exceeded our expectations. Easily one of the best holiday cottages we have ever stayed in.
Owner attentive without being overbearing, from the initial text to say property ready ahead of published check-in time, to dog-sitting and dinner cooking to helping return a child’s left-behind coat have the impression that nothing would have been too much trouble.

"The Parlour Barn was amazing."
A beautiful property which was ideally located. It felt like you were miles from anything but just a short drive into Leek. Gorgeous countryside with amazing sunsets. The sauna and hot tub were great and we had lots of fun in the games shack. The barn itself was clean and comfortable and fitted out to a high standard with everything we needed. I would highly recommend staying here and we will hopefully do it again.

"Parlour Barn was a truly magnificent holiday and the most luxurious place we have ever stayed!"
It exceeded expectation in every way. The hot tub watching the sun set was beautiful and the powerful jets were welcomed following unforgettable walks over the Roaches and over the stepping stones at Dove Dale and climbing up into the caves. We even saw wild deer on the ridge. Close by Leek was great for shopping and had something for everyone including the dog. We spent many hours in the games room playing air hockey, pool, table football, piano and blue tooth our music to the karaoke system. The retro arcade system and PS4 kept our son entertained. The space gave everyone a place to just be. The mirror with blue tooth in the bathroom let everyone play there fav tunes while soaking in a very deep bath! We can't wait to return you have done an amazing job on the barn and we had a wonderful time.

"Absolutely superb cottage."
After a long drive, this is the sort of accomodation that just makes you glad you made the trip! The standard of the conversion and fit out is awesome, and a real credit to the owners. Luxury is an over used term, but not in this case. There was nothing that felt rushed or skimped on, and every creature comfort and convenience had been thought of and provided to a very high standard.
The games barn was equally impressive, and in an american western theme which worked brilliantly. Pool table, air hockey, table tennis, table football, karioke, piano, and the best bit........ an old skool table arcade machine!
If we could have changed anything, it would have been great to stride out on foot along local footpaths from the door, but we didnt find any nearby, so it was roadside walking or across the fields that are owned with the cottage. Never mind though.......just get back in the jaccuzi!!
Would recommend this cottage to anyone - book it with confidence

"Book a stay at Parlour Barn and you will not be disappointed."
I was amazed by the level of detail the owners have gone in to in order to ensure that every comfort is provided here. I came equipped with all the basics for the week but didn't need them - everything from washing up liquid to coffee pods is already provided. Rooms are well appointed, decorated thoughtfully and stylishly and are extremely comfortable. I haven't slept so well in a long long time! This is a lovely quiet place with a view and evening sunset to die for. The games room is great and provided us with a handy distraction whilst the weather was misbehaving. There's plenty to do in the local area and the drive along to the farmhouse is simply breathtaking.
I only had need to contact the owner once and my request was dealt with straight away.
The farmhouse is well worth the price - go on - treat yourself.

"Superb accommodation."
We would thoroughly recommend this property, it completely exceeded our expectations. Fantastic owners that cared for our poorly dog so we could have days out and treated her like one of their own and made her so welcome. We can not wait to rebook for next year. We would struggle to find anywhere better.

"Brilliant place."
very clean and inviting. Home from home.
Marvelous Kitchen, Hot tub and sauna.... especially after a long days walk.
Kitchen - coffee machine was great, although the coffee pods were missing- I personally think this was a mistake as the milk pods were there! Please add washing up brush& sponge. Oven gloves would be a good addition.
Loved the games room. It could do with renewing the cues as we could not chalk them.
Overall, a fab place. Well done to the owners.
Hi, thank you for staying at our property and thank you for your feedback, Just to make you aware, appropriate cleaning utensils and over gloves are provided. I have now left a note in the welcome pack to advise where you can find these in future. Kindest regards.
