"This is a lovely, restful place to stay, with a wonderful atmosphere."
The owners have put a lot of thought into the decor and furnishings and the house is well equipped with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. We were all very impressed and would definitely recommend.

-
"Really enjoyed our stay and everything was very good."
It was warm and comfortable and the location was great. Only a couple of minor things were that a soap dispenser and hand towel in the kitchen would have been very welcome and a few extra bin liners would also have been nice too.
-
"Fantastic cottage."
We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was immaculate, spacious and well equipped for a family break in the Peak District. Fabulous location with beautiful views. We are already planning our next visit to this wonderful cottage.
-
"We had a lovely stay , the Barn was very clean, very well equipped plenty of hot water lovely fresh white towels ,, outside area needed a clean up & windows not so clean , just an observation."
A floor lamp would make a nice addition to the lounge area instead of ceiling lights , a walker’s paradise, very quiet and peaceful we enjoyed our stay thankyou
-
"Its a holiday cottage that we are very likely to return to in the future and reccomend to friends and family."
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
-
"ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS ."
.... EVERYTHING you could possibly want there, even to providing a top sheet on the beds. EVERYTHING clean and SPACIOUS. 'Clap hands' for Alison and her husband for providing such a home-from-home to explore the area. In a great location to do this too.
-
"Fantastic property for our weeks stay in the Peak District."
-
"The Haybarn is an ideal holiday location - we had an amazing time there and have already booked a return trip!"
The location of The Haybarn was perfect for us as it is close to a number of walking trails (we enjoyed walking parts of The Tissington Trail on an evening), but also has easy access to towns such as Buxton and Bakewell - lots of things to do to satisfy a broad range of interests and ages. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and well equipped, as well as beautifully decorated - we had everything we needed. Alison was a fantastic host and came to our rescue when there was a local power cut - she contacted the power company to find out what happened and a timescale for the power to come back on and brought us a camping stove to allow us to make a hot drink whilst the power was down. The kitchen was well equipped had we wished to cook within the cottage, but there were a number of good places to eat nearby. Thank you for a lovely stay!

"We have stayed here previously, the property is excellently presented and has everything you would need."
-
"We have stayed at the Haybarn three times."
It is beautifully laid out and maintained and very comfortable. It is near to the Tissington Trail for walking and cycling and near lots of other beautiful places. The house is in a beautiful setting with views over the hills and dales. The owner is very friendly and helpful
-
"The property is of the highest standard."
Very clean, well equipped and well maintained. The owner is friendly without being intrusive we cannot recommend this venue to highly.
-
"The Haybarn is very spacious and well equipped, it feels like it’s all brand new within a traditional building."
I think people should be aware there is a fairly substantial step up from the hallway to the living room as I particularly booked this cottage because there was a level access shower and ground floor bedroom for my dad to use. A handrail at this point would be very beneficial. The place is absolutely spotless, the views are incredible it’s very quiet and quite remote, 10 mins to the nearest village which has beautiful views and cafes. You could easily get there by bicycle and there is a locked up mini barn/garage to put your bikes in. Nearby walks it’s totally ideal for a quiet retreat and plenty of room. Thank you for a lovely stay (June 24)
-
"The property is beautiful and has been renovated to a very high standard."
It has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. It is a credit to the owners. So enjoyed our week with our family exploring the Peak District.
-
"A brilliant holiday cottage in beautiful scenery and an excellent location for walking and cycling."
-
"Had a fantastic week, at this first rate property, which was absolutely fabulous."
It was well equipped, extremely clean and very comfortable. During our stay a couple of issues arose that we’re out of control of the owner Alison, who regardless, went above and beyond to rectified things, keeping us continually informed. Would highly recommend this lovely barn conversion and we intend to return.
-
"Thank you. Fabulous week."
-
"The Haybarn was immaculate."
A warm and comfortable base with a friendly, helpful and responsive owner. There are three generously furnished double bedrooms, a big kitchen with more than ample cupboard space & worktops. It's also in a great location for walkers and cyclists or indeed for anyone wanting to explore the Peak District. Highly recommended and would love to return.
-
"This is the second time we have stayed in the property."
It is in a beautiful location among the Derbyshire hills and dales and very near to the Tissington trail. The cottage is comfortable, clean, well equipped and furnished to a very high standard. There is also a bike store. The owner is very responsive
-
"Very clean and well kept again, a quality holiday let."
The layout of the cottage is well thought out and very comfortable. Good to have a chat with the owner again!
-
"This cottage is outstanding, we have rented many cottages over the years but this in are opinion is the best absolutely outstanding in every respect."
-
"The cottage was very clean, comfortable and quiet, loved listening and watching the cows."
Ideal base for visiting the dales. The only downfall is lack of outside space but this didn’t effect our holiday and would not stop us from revisiting.
-
"Our 3rd time in the Haybarn and wonderful as always."
The work Alison and Michael put in to make the barn welcoming is obvious to see. Immaculately clean with the most wonderful and well equipped kitchen. Fantastic bathrooms and lovely comfortable beds. We will definitely be back for our 4th visit in the future.
-
"We were very happy with the property."
-
"We were very impressed with the house, the house was very very well decorated, and clean, the beds were very comfortable, kitchen and bathrooms were fantastic, the area is wonderful with a wonderful pub called the coach and horses, just down the road, food and staff were excellent will stay at another of there houses as soon as i can."
-
"This is a really lovely stone barn in the middle of rolling countryside."
The Tissington Trail is a short walk away, along with other footpaths and so is a great base for walkers and cyclists. The interior decor is beautiful, the beds are comfortable and the bathrooms high quality. The owner was very accommodating in providing a non- slip mat for the shower on request. All in all we had a great stay. The only very slight negative was having to go out shopping for toilet rolls! It may having been stated in the info that these are not provided, but if so, I missed it. So remember to take some with you.
-
"Have enjoyed our stay at The Haybarn exploring the area."
The cottage is clean, spacious, warm, comfy beds and well appointed with everything you need in the kitchen and plenty of hot water for our family of four. The only thing I would is that we stayed for two weeks but only 7 dishwasher tables and two toilet rolls were left so take plenty with you. The owner did say to ring her if we needed anything but I don’t think we should have had to ring her as these should have been left. The cottage ia a credit to the owners.
-
"Stayed many times, always immaculate and equipped with everything you need."
-
"Lovely warm clean property in a quiet area but not too far from Buxton Tissington and Ashbourne."
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay thank you.
-
"Very comfortable and very well equipped."
Lovely location.
-
"The Haybarn is close to a main road so is accessible but it’s only the sheep that you can hear from the house."
It’s spotlessly clean and lovely and warm. We were back for our second stay. This time the weather was great and the walk down to the River Dove was enjoyed many times. The silence on the way down was breathtaking.The lambs in the fields were an unexpected bonus.
-
"Lovely comfortable cottage, warm, cosy & easy to use."
I can't think of anything that would improve the accomodation. Perfect base for peak district pro's & beginners alike!
-
"Really nice property."
Very warm and comfortable. Excellent kitchen with plenty of dishes, pots and utensils. Loads of cupboard space. Spacious bedrooms, luxury shower rooms. The tiniest of niggles was the need to buy toilet rolls!
-
"The Haybarn is everything you could possibly want from a cottage."
From beautiful views to superb facilities, the cottage is very well appointed, comfortable and cosy, and the ideal place to be for great walks (Tissington Trail, River Dove) or just for sitting outside with a brew and enjoying the peace. The owners are lovely, and nothing is too much trouble if you need any help. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you :)
-
"We very much enjoyed our holiday at The Haybarn."
The cottage was tastefully decorated and furnished throughout with an amazing kitchen thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. Comfortable beds, great showers, and cozy heating contributed to a first class stay.
-
"We have stayed in many Sykes cottages over the years and I think that this one was the best!"
Excellent location for visiting Buxton, Bakewell, Hartington, Chatsworth and Haddon Hall. Also easy access to Tissington Trail and Dovedale for great walks. Very comfortable and roomy with every item that you could possibly need in a holiday cottage. The weather behaved too!
-
"Beautiful property."
Quiet, lovely views, within 2 minutes of Tissington Trail for walks. Well equipped kitchen. Very beautiful bathrooms.
-
"Lovely well equipped cottage, spotlessly clean on arrival."
Great location for walks and cycling right from the door with the River Dove in walking distance and the Tissington trail in sight of the cottage. We enjoyed sitting on the patio, whilst watching the owners cows and sheep in the neighbouring fields.
-
"An excellent property."
Immaculate in presentation, cleanliness and facilities. Alison, the owner popped round to say hello and left us some fresh eggs, milk, tea,coffee and sugar, a lovely gesture and much appreciated. Would recommend this property to anyone and hope to go back there again in future.
-
"We had a wonderful week at the Haybarn."
It was incredibly clean, well equipped and really comfortable, and the views from the cottage were fabulous. It's in a great location, near Dovedale, Alton Towers, Chatsworth and Bakewell.
-
"Idyllic country home with rural views, peaceful and comfortable amenities."
Well equipped and very comfy beds. Central to visiting Buxton, Bakewell, Matlock and many more. Would definitely recommend for that escape to the country!
-
"A big thank you for a top sheet on the beds and not a mountain of cushions to move."
So pleased, 2 out of the 4 who stayed are likely to book the 1 bed barn and bring our bikes in the future. Have been singing the praises of the accommodation and area since we got back home!
-
"A beautiful cottage close to a lot of things but in the middle of the country"
-
"Well run cottage,clean,well equipped and in a good position to explore the surrounding areas."
-
"A fabulous property."
Great setting, everything we needed in the cottage. Will definitely be back. Lovely walks from the door
-
"Excellent accommodation, very friendly host, good walking direct from the cottage yet not far from the main road between Buxton and Ashbourne."
-
"Excellent stay in well equipped cottage (would have liked a sieve or something similar for draining rice but a minor issue!"
). Lovely location and beds very comfortable. Weather warm enough to sit outside and enjoy the long views westwards and across to the Tissington Trail. Enjoyed a circular walk down to the River Dove and back through Biggin Dale and then along the Tissington Trail back to the cottage (approx 7 miles). Also cycled both directions on the Tissington Trail which is practically on the doorstep and being elevated for the most part has fantastic views - probably the best off road cycle trail we have cycled so far in this country. Lockable cycle storage barn a real plus for anyone bringing their bikes. Will be back to cycle the other trails in the Peak District. The only concern I would have if there in the summer heat is not being able to open the window for ventilation in the ground floor bedroom since it is adjacent the road and cannot be securely opened a fraction and is only secure therefore when kept shut. I'm sure a solution could be found for this.

"We had a fantastic time from the moment we arrived until the moment we left!"
We had 2 teenagers and a small worry was that the WIFI would be awful but it was actually really good and reliable (which was great as my son needed to do some revision for his mocks). The underfloor heating was a bonus as well, as we even experienced a snow day! The barn's kitchen has every utensil you could want and I even got the teenagers to cook on 2 nights, which they enjoyed doing. We would love to come again, with the Tissington Trail on your doorstep, this is a walkers/runners/cyclists delight!
-
"This is a lovely property."
It was spotless. The house was beautifully warm which was particularly good for a cold week in February. We could have done with a few more pans and plates but we are maybe quite unusual in the amount that we cook for ourselves.
-
"I thought the cottage was immaculate."
Plenty of facilities and a great base for exploring the peaks. Would absolutely return, and highly recommend to anyone else.
-
"Immaculate condition, and it was an absolute delight to stay in!"
Very family friendly! We look forward to visiting it again one day. Thank you
-
"Spacious barn in a delightful rural setting, recently converted to a very high standard."
Comfortable, well equipped and immaculate in every respect. Location is perfect for walking and cycling, with good road access to towns and attractions. We will be returning, it is a fabulous holiday cottage.
-
"Excellent accommodation, nice and quiet at night with real darkness."
Comfortable and warm in late autumn with outstanding local walks in a real variety of white Peak scenery.
-
"Very well equipped, comfortable and roomy cottage in a stunning location."
-
"We loved the cottage and location which had spectacular views and lovely walks nearby."
We had a family get together for my mum’s 90th birthday and the cottage and location were perfect.
-
"An excellent property."
Built to a very high standard and well maintained. This is an excellent place to base your Holliday in the Peak District.
-
"THe cottage was very clean, comfortable and equipped to a high standard."
The owner was friendly and helpful. We are keen cyclists and the property was situated only about 200 metres from the Tissington Trail, which also leads to the High Peak Trail. We had some great cycling on these trails and around the nearby villages. The cottage was also situated not far from the A515 Ashbourne to Buxton road which made getting to other sites like Dove Dale and Tissington very easy. All in all a lovely cottage with scenic views and lots to do and see!
-
"An absolute gem of a find."
This cottage has everything you could possibly want or need. It was like home from home. Immaculate throughout. The hosts were extremely helpful and friendly. Thankyou for a wonderful stay. Xx
-
"This cottage is very lovely!"
Although there are 2 other cottages next to if, belongs to same owner, there is no disturbance at all. Alison was very prompt in her communication and very helpful!! Very quiet location with easy access to Peak District!! Highly recommend!!
-
"Very well equipped property."
Beautifully situated, remote but close enough to various towns and villages. We will be coming back.
-
"Lovely cottage & the host is lovely."
Only thing I felt might be useful was blackout curtains in downstairs bedroom as a lot of early sun coming through. Also a shelf in the bathroom. Would definitely return.
-
"We had a lovely time, all fittings are high quality."
Alison could not have been more helpful. Just a short walk to the Tissington Trail. Lots to do in the local area.

Where you’ll be staying
HARTINGTON
Bakewell 10 miles; Buxton 10 miles.
Hartington, situated in the Dove Valley in the Peak District National Park, was an important market centre in the Middle Ages, having been granted a market charter in 1203. Today the ever-popular village boasts lovely tea rooms, a cheese shop, old curiosity shops, traditional pubs and a splendid market square where the stone-carved village pump, once an important source of water for the villagers, still stands on the green. The local bars stock local ales brewed at the Leatherbritches Brewery in Fenny Bentley and Whim Ales in Hartington itself. The former Hartington railway station, about a mile and half from the village itself, is now a picnic area and the converted track is known as the Tissington Trail, popular with both walkers and cyclists. Hartington is also a good starting point for walking along Beresford Dale, a beautiful place with its curiously formed cliffs and rocks. Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are both within a 20 minute drive, and Alton Towers is within easy reach.
