"Pastures Barn was spotlessly clean and was done to a high standard."
The games room was something else. The kids spent a lot of time there. We had a very enjoyable stay and would recommend to all.
Close to all the attractions, the area had to offer. (Beware though, speed cameras everywhere).

"The barn was just as expected and more."
Every attention to detail has been made down to bathrobes, shower gel, soap (you only need to take your own shampoo)! We loved our stay here, the hot tub and sauna were an added luxury. The games shack was a fun place to go to, the shared timetable worked well and our neighbours were very accommodating saying that we could share it with them on their nominated day!

"We have never stayed anywhere so clean, comfortable, and so well equipped."
It was amazing. The beds were so comfortable we actually asked the make! Absolutely everything had been thought of from tea, coffee (including not one but 2 coffee machines), to washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets and even doggy treats. Facilities included a hot tub (with towels and robes) and games barn. Beautifully situated in the countryside but only a short distance to nearby shops.

Nothing too much trouble and the snow was a lovely added extra when we we were safely in the cottage and in the hot tub :) The games room is great, the children had a fabulous time with plenty to keep them occupied in the cottage, games room and outside.

The barn is one of the best I’ve stayed in. The little touches that you have included really did make this feel like a luxurious stay. After we had a flat tyre on the journey up, you were so supportive and helpful, and went above and beyond for us, it was so needed. Jeremey’s service was honestly first class, so a special thank you to him. The hot tub experience was simply amazing and really did put the shine on my Mum’s 60th birthday celebrations. Not to mention the Games Shack, that was mega fun! We absolutely loved our stay, and we’re already looking into when we can go back!

The accommodation has the "wow factor" the owners have thought of everything you might need even down to the dishwasher tablets! The welcome pack was much appreciated and we soon popped open the Prosecco! Bedrooms are immaculately decorated, the beds are so comfy and the showers are amazing. We watched the sunset a few nights from the hot tub, which is perfect after a days walking, then into the sauna, bliss!!

"What a fabulous place!"
You will have the time of your life in staying here. Guaranteed.
On the lead up to our holiday with having COVID19 concerns etc... our minds were quickly put at ease by Jo who explained how the games room would work when shared with the other family (the adjacent/attached letting property). No problem at all. In fact, it was lovely having the room to ourselves on the specific evenings meaning we could plan our holiday carefully to include everything we wanted to do.
The house itself was beautiful. Breathtakingly so. Every attention to detail had been satisfied...even down to leaving dog biscuits in the food bowl! The bottle pf prosecco was a welcome touch and an apt way to start our adventure there. The kitchen was absolutely spotless as was every other room in the house. Seriously, it felt like we were the first people to stay here - ever!
The house/garden was amazingly set within the pasture and enabled us to look at the wonderful views and watch a summer storm that came in on a couple of nights from the hot-tub! The fabulous sauna ended our evenings off a treat.
Would love to return in the autumn/winter for another indulging experience at this amazing place. Thank you.

"I booked pastures barn as a surprise birthday present for my partner."
It really did exceed expectations. The location is lovely, on the top of a hill, surrounded by hills (personally my ideal) We was close enough to local shops and cosy pubs. However, Pastures Barn was something else.. as we arrived it was spotless, gorgeous decoration and some really lovely personal touches. You can really tell there is no expense spared. The beds are comfy and it was spotless throughout. The facilities was brilliant. The games room has provided many memories, the karaoke, the piano, table tennis, pool, table top football, air hockey gave us endless hours of fun.

AMAZING!!
We booked Pasture Barn for our family celebration for 4 nights surrounding Christmas Day and it was our home from home which far exceeded our expectations.
From the moment we arrived the wow factor was overwhelming as we explored the property. The attention to detail and provision of extras that we didn’t even know we needed until we needed them was awesome.
To name a few extras, the welcome hamper, fizz, extra disposable cooking trays to make sure Christmas cooking was covered, board games, dog treats, bowls, extra towels, to clean them down after long walks, which were stored in the shed along with numerous outdoor activity game sets.
The kitchen was stunning, stocked with various extra items just in case we needed something, well laid out and easily handled volume of the Christmas day dinner preparation. The American fridge freezer was able to store all the food without the worry of nowhere to put anything once our Asda delivery arrived.
The lounge was comfy with 3 sofas, modern log fire and a fantastic size for all the family. The bedrooms and bathrooms were cosy and modern.
The games barn is something that was a real treat, the owners have really created something that the whole family can enjoy, the pictures on the site look great but once you see it in person it is a real treat, hours of family fun.
All in all our family had the best Christmas, we didn’t want to leave! We will be booking again and can highly recommend this property.
Huge thanks to Jo and family and we look forward to staying again.
God bless!

"Our stay at Pastures Barn was fantastic from start to finish!"
As two couples, one with a baby and the other with a dog, the barn was a perfect hideaway for the week. We’d been in touch with the owners prior to our stay with a few questions, which they promptly responded to. This took the guess work out of what we needed to bring and was extremely helpful (Thanks Jo!). On arrival, we were greeted with a bottle of prosecco and a lovely handmade hamper full of goodies. Jo had also messaged prior to our stay to ask if we’d like the Christmas decorations putting up, which we thought was a lovely added touch to our stay. The barn has been renovated to an extremely high standard giving it a lovely home from home feeling… not to mention, serious house envy!! The little extras like the tassimo machine, wine fridge, dressing gowns and towels for hot tub and the dogs were a nice touch too. The location of the barn is perfect for exploring the peak district and local areas in and around Staffordshire, or just to admire the views from the hot tub. We will definitely be returning!

"We have just returned from a 4 night break to Pastures Barn."
We came with our 9 year old son, our 2 good friends & a dog each between us. (Tilly & Daisy)
The drive up alone is beautiful with the cottages set in a prime position on the edge of the peak district. The location was perfect for us with Dovedale, Bakewell & Buxton all within 30 min(ish) drive through the most breathtaking views and winding (and steep!) roads. My husband and I even took off to the roads for a run like no other we've ever experienced, very worth it!
The cottage was absolutely stunning. The amount of thought and little extra touches really made our stay very special, from the welcome hamper, dog treats, dog blankets, hot tub towels & dressing gowns (and towels generally!) Coffee machines, washer, dryer & a wine fridge were all unexpected fab extras.
The decor throughout was tasteful & very homely. The kitchen truly was the heart of the home and we found we spent alot of time there (a cup of coffee in the morning enjoying those views was a highlight of mine)
The bedrooms were gorgeous and the beds were super comfy. The bathrooms were second to none.
The games room was a hit and evenings would find the boys down there quicker than we could blink. What a great selection of games there too! Being heated and having a bathroom down there made the world of difference. I loved propping the bar up and listen to our music over the bluetooth karaoke machine too.
The hot tub was a personal favourite, perfectly positioned, private, easy to use, spacious with incredible views!
We all had a memorable, very comfortable & enjoyable stay at this cottage that lives and breathes a homely, welcoming feel & we most definitely will be back!

This holiday was truly lovely, the place was truly spotless, had all the little things you need that you don't always find, like handwash, oil, tea and coffee stuff and a lovely little welcome hamper. They even had a spare toothbrush in the welcome pack just in-case anyone forgot one. Everything was thought of and clearly labelled and the house itself was done out to such a high standard we have come home with serious house envy!
The games room was a fantastic facility, the hot tub and sauna were lush and the showers really powerful. There were different kinds of games secreted about for all occasions, including a full badminton set you could put up! the gardens were lovely and there was a fab bbq with everything it needed to use included, which prompted us to get the extended family round for the day. It was awesome to get all the grownups playing in the games room too, it's not often we get chance to let go and have fun like that. Our two dogs were also clearly thought of, from dog towels and spare poo bags to a jar of treats and they were very happy while we were there.
The owners were great at responding to our queries and were very pleasant to deal with. It was genuinely the nicest and most relaxing holiday we have been on in such a long time. We definitely want to come back again.

Every detail had been considered by the owners even down to hand wash in every bathroom and fry light for cooking. On arrival we were welcomed with a fantastic hamper of local produce, Prosecco and beer in the fridge. The views from the barn are truly spectacular especially whilst relaxing in the hot tub after spending the day walking across the hills. In all honesty we have never stayed in a property with so much attention to detail, it really was home from home. We took our two dogs with us who are very lively and enjoy to get muddy during their many walks, this was no problem at Pastures Barn as everything was available to ensure even the pooches were pampered. The owners also looked after the dogs during one of our days out and treated them like their own. On our return home we all had holiday blues and can’t wait to another stay here.

"Our stay at Pastures Barn was a pleasure from start to finish, the only disappointment was we weren't staying longer!"
The directions provided by the owners were clear and we researched the approach on Street View; a worthwhile activity to show just what a transformation the property has undergone. Leek is easy to access for shopping and the town centre worth exploring. The Peak National Park is a relatively short drive and every trip through that area is a sight seeing excursion. The conversion of the buildings is extremely well done and to a high standard, the exterior is sympathetic to the rural setting but the interior is contrastingly modern. It worked very well. The layout of the two cottages is well done to provide easy vehicle access and laid out to keep the respective gardens sufficiently private while using the much enjoyed Sauna and Hot Tub. The garden is also fenced in to keep our small but rather nosey dog contained and the owner had provided a few conveniences to help keep the property pet friendly whilst keeping the inevitable mess out doors.The owner had also left us a much appreciated welcome pack for the first evening. All in all we had a great trip, thanks
