“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) ...

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!!

- Dr Field, October 2019
“Pastures Barn is a stunning holiday home.”

The owners have thought about every detail of their guests to a brilliant stay. I couldn't recommend this property more, and we'll certainly be back in the future.

- Mrs Kerr, October 2019
“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

- Miss Price, October 2019
“Absolutely phenomenal barn which is incredibly well thought out.”

We will undoubtedly be back as soon as possible!

“As a group of 3 couples, with a couple of dogs, a fantastic time was had by all.”

The perfect retreat!

- Mr Osborn, September 2019
“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!

- Miss King, 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 Winchester, August 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!

- Mr Jarvis, 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

Pastures And The Parlour Barns

Resting at the foot of the Peak District National Park, these luxurious semi-detached barn conversions have been sympathetically renovated to an exceptional standard. Inside, the cottages retain all of their original character, with charming exposed beams and cosy wood-burning stoves. Interiors, however, remain stylish and contemporary throughout. Spacious, welcoming sitting rooms, complete with smart TVs and well-stocked games cupboards, provide the perfect space to relax and unwind. Meanwhile, under floor heating lets you kick off your shoes and stay toasty throughout the winter months. A high spec kitchen provides everything you need for an informal family supper, special occasion dinner or just a lazy Sunday brunch. Three sumptuous bedrooms in each property are kitted out with everything you need for an authentic home-from-home experience, including fluffy robes, straighteners and hair dryers and smart TVs in every room. However, you’ll struggle to stay indoors when you see what the barns have to offer outside. Each cottage comes equipped with a private sauna and hot tub, where you can relax and enjoy the spot’s stunning sunsets. The grass lawns are ideal for a game of croquet, badminton, swingball and football for which is all provided. However, just down from the cottages lies the communal games shack – the ultimate Wild West-themed games room for fun with friends and family. Here you’ll find pool, air hockey, table tennis, table football and a classic arcade game console featuring 60 of those retro favourites we all know and love. There’s also a karaoke machine on hand for musical entertainment, as well as a tuned piano and guitar. You’ll also find a book exchange. If you do decide to explore the surrounding area, you’ve picked the perfect base. The thriving market town of Leek is on your doorstep, Ashbourne is but a short drive, providing fertile ground for antique hunting, restaurants and cafes. As well as easy access to the renowned Peak District National Park, the local area holds many other countryside attractions, including the Dovedale Nature Reserve. Here there’s a plethora of picturesque views, iconic limestone formations and pathways for walking and cycling. Don’t miss a visit to The Roaches, a rocky outcrop carved by wind over the centuries – a great place for walkers, rock climbers and freerunners alike. Meanwhile, Tittsworth Reservoir lies just 10 minutes away, offering various water sports including kayaking, fishing and sailing, as well as an excellent local produce café. For more high-octane adventures, Alton Towers is a 15 minute drive from the cottages and provides a thrilling family day out. Don’t worry about leaving your dog behind for the day either – the cottage owners can provide a dog-sitting service upon request and subject to availability. A fantastic and beautiful area to explore. Note: Both properties, property ref 1001734 Parlour Barn and property ref 957753 Pastures Barn, can be booked together to accommodate up to 12 people.
