“Jo, Giles, Jeremey - you honestly couldn’t have done any more for us.”

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! One of the best staycation finds I’ve ever made, and I will be making multiple return journeys. Thank you all so much.

“The time spent at Pastures barn was such a relaxing holiday.”

There was every possible appliance that could be required to make life easy in the kitchen. The barn was beautifully furnished and large accommodation for our dogs and family. The area for walking is spectacular having never been on that location before. The owners helped by describing interesting walks to go on and afterwards Jo's home cooked food is yummy. The amenities including the barns own sauna, hot tub and garden games are well maintained. The shared games room is organised on a rota system and cleaned thoroughly every day Cannot wait to return and already organising next year's holiday.

Mr Weston October 2020

“Fantastic barn conversion in the perfect location, beautiful views from every window, 5 star facilities inside and out.”

The games shack is brilliant and with the Covid19 concerns Jo the owner has it perfectly organised, you get the place to yourselves on alternate days with Parlour Barn, which suited us perfectly! and it's cleaned/sanitised in between. 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!! Even dog bowls, towels, doggy bags, a cover for the sofa and dog biscuits were left for our dog Jess who enjoyed herself immensely. Thankyou to the owners for their wonderful hospitality and for this brilliant retreat! Hopefully we'll return! The Weston's

“Great location, fantastic cottage with everything you could ever want.”

“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.

“Amazing weekend with family in this wonderful converted barn, agree with other reviews that photos do not do it justice!”

Immaculate throughout, high spec & everything you could need. Owners extremely friendly and helpful, this place is a real credit to them. Loads of competitive fun in the games room too.

Miss Pascoe February 2020

“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. Jo, the owner was just on the other end of the phone if we needed her which was good to know! We will definitely be returning. THANK YOU!

- Miss Pascoe, February 2020
Mrs Allen February 2020

“Absolutely exquisite, the barn is done up to the most amazing standard, there are so many sweet thoughtful touches, like the jar of dog biscuits, the hamper, fresh flowers , chocolates as it was valentines day, tassimo machine and a good variety of pods, there was wood,kindling,firelighters,matches and even newspaper and instructions on how to light a fire and more wood, straighjteners, hairdryers the list could go on and on, is was so good that we booked again before we left, everyone that visited was also in love with this place.”

Miss Munton January 2020

“Thoughtful touches throughout which we're not expected but made us feel very welcome.”

Beautiful and clean home, all sparkling and new. Very comfortable beds and a great location for nearby walks and villages. The hot tub is brilliant and much more powerful that others we've been in before. 5 star place! Couldn't have dreamt a better place for us. The games room is a one off and really sets this aside from others, fab family place.

“One word ...”

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!

Mrs Unwin December 2019

“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!

Mrs Smith October 2019

“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!

“There is only one word for our stay at Pastures Barn.”

.. Amazing! The house is absolutely beautiful and caters for everything that a family holiday would want. Not only is it placed is a beautiful location, the house is the epitome of comfort and provides the perfect setting for a family getaway. It was a wonderful stay providing everything that you would want, from the family gathering in the huge kitchen to sitting in the hot tub watching the October sunset! The games shack is unreal and provided many hours of family fun and entertainment that made it part of the perfect getaway. It is Situated in the middle of everything that you would want to get from the Peak District from beautiful walks in Dovedale with the dog to the depths of Pooled cavern, we really couldn’t recommend this place enough.. we will certainly be back!!

“I booked pastures barn for the weekend to celebrate my friends 30th birthday.”

I was really pleased with my booking. The barn was better than i expected. Spotlessly clean & tidy everything seemed brand new. Very homely & welcoming. Everything thought out and planned so well down to a folder with all local activities which we found extremely helpful. 10/10 would definitely recommend & definitely be back for another stay. Xx

“What a fantastic place!”

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. Thank you for a beautiful week Pastures Barn. We were not ready to go home!

Mr Winchester August 2019

“Our holiday at Pastures Barn was amazing.”

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. I can’t recommend this property enough, you truly will not be disappointed.

Mr Jarvis July 2019

“Pastures barn was impeccable, both internally and externally.”

Very spacious for the 6 of us who stayed and the kitchen / dining area was fantastic! The internal built in speaker system to 3 rooms was a hit with the kids as was the games room outside and especially the hot tub & sauna in the private garden area! Easy access to Alton Towers a bonus. A great week away for the full family, 5 star!

Dr Swindell July 2019

“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
