Parlour Barn

What a beautiful barn from which to explore the area with our family including two young granddaughters.

The accommodation was spotless and very comfortable (we had a lovely "Simba" mattress) ZZzzz. The hot tub was a great success and the outdoor seating was excellent. Both Scott and Jenny our hosts were exceptionally helpful. Our son loved the nearby bike trails and our granddaughter the onsite play area, chickens, donkeys and Highland cattle, especially the calf born just before we arrived. Overall a great venue with excellent facilities and close by church, shops, market, and parks in Leek. With the beautiful Peak District a short hop away. A great and enjoyable break in a delightful setting. I recommend it.

We absolutely loved our stay at Parlour Barn, the barn itself was beautiful and everything had been thought of.

The Games room was a huge hit and we spent lots of time in there as well as the hot tub and we all fell in love with the Highland cows! The barn is nice and central to lots of walks, we visited Luds Church and Dovedale which were close by. We were all sorry to leave and will definitely be back.

Beautiful accommodation well planned and in a great location.

Lovely to see the wildlife so close. Highly recommended

We had an amazing stay at Parlour Barn.

The facilities were just as described and The Shack games room was a great way to spend an evening after exploring all day. The Barn was fully equipped and welcoming. The beds were super comfortable (my excuse anyway). Really great for our dog Chester fully enclosed front garden and patio, dog towels and treats were a lovely touch. The cows and other animals were just wonderful to see and observe even from your hot tub! Thank you Parlour Barn x

Couldn’t have asked for more, a true home from home chillout

Beautiful cottage with everything you could possibly need to have a lovely time.

Definitely pet and child friendly.

A truly unforgettable stay at Parlour Barn.

We were lucky enough to spend three nights at Parlour Barn during the sunniest weekend in March for a special birthday celebration, and it genuinely exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, the place was immaculate; spotless throughout, beautifully maintained, and clearly cared for to a very high standard. The lovely welcome pack (complete with the birthday balloons Jenny had kindly arranged in advance) was such a thoughtful touch. The cottage itself is spacious, comfortable, and equipped with absolutely everything you could ever need. The décor is fun and stylish; it feels like stepping into a luxury hotel, but with all the warmth and privacy of a home from home. Hollydale Barns is made up of just three holiday cottages, positioned very thoughtfully so our stay felt wonderfully private and exclusive. The setting is stunning, surrounded by rolling fields, and it felt very safe for the children to explore. There are lots of animals on-site and the kids were in their element; from spending time with the Highland cows and chickens to meeting the alpacas and even the wallabies. Feeding the alpacas was a real highlight, and seeing the wallabies with their little joeys was magical. The enclosed garden was perfect for pottering and relaxing, and the shed full of games kept everyone entertained. We also loved making the most of the hot tub and sauna. The games shack is a real show stopper; a huge, brilliantly equipped space with everything from air hockey and table tennis to karaoke and Pac-Man. Both the kids and adults had an absolute blast. Jenny and Scott were wonderful hosts; warm, helpful, and incredibly accommodating throughout our stay. Thank you both for helping us create such special family memories. Parlour Barn is a gem, and we can’t wait to return!

We had an amazing stay at Parlour Barn - probably one of the nicest properties we stayed at!

Family and pet friendly - perfect for us. Scott and Jenny were super helpful and we're already planning our next stay!

Absolutely stunning!

Everything is thought of to make your stay as perfect as possible. We will definitely be returning, thank you. Parlour barn is a very special place!

This accommodation is absolutely stunning couldn’t fault it at all it’s got so much to offer plus so many homely touches the more you look round the more you see .

Great place to just sit and relax plus the hot tub and sauna are an added bonus for your stay The owners are very friendly can’t do enough for you when you arrive and have thought of everything in this property to make it at such a high standard that it is . There’s lots for children to do with the games room the little park and of course seeing the animals which Oscar is a character. We loved our stay and will definatly be visiting again so get booking this diamond of a place you’ll really be missing out a defianate 10/10 X

Had an excellent week at Parlour Barn.

Owners were great and a couple of minor issues were sorted immediately. Games room is a real attribute and kept the kids entertained as the weather was poor. Cottage very comfortable and relaxing, well appointed. Definitely recommend

Parlour Barn accommodation was wonderful and lived up to expectations.

We spent time in the games room, which had an entertaining variety of activities and the sauna and hot tub were both well used throughout our stay.

Superb property lots for kids to do and immaculate Highly recommended

Our second time staying in Parlour Barn and it was just as fantastic as the first time.

Homely but quality with fantastic facilities. The only negative was some of the wallpaper was peeling in the lounge and there were no hair straighteners as described. Expensive but totally worth it.

A beautiful property in a idillic location.

Every need met, everything covered. Facilities first class with something for all the family. The games room is on another level to anything I have experienced before. This property is an absolute must and I will most definitely be back. An incredible 5 days stay

Wow what a find!

We only booked this two months ago, and we’re already getting ready to book again next year! We love the interior and the facilities with the hot tub and sauna, also so many different outdoor seating options They literally have thought of everything for you, separate towels for the hot tubs so you’re not using your ones for when you shower, robes, luxury toiletries a games room with everything you can think of from pool and karaoke to air hockey and Pac-Man! Stunning views, beautifully clean, incredible facilities, we don’t want to leave! We look forward to returning next year, and maybe trying the farmhouse this time! You can tell a lot of money was pumped into these cottages, they have done a great job! Parlour Barn is a must visit, in fact they all are!

We had a fabulous week staying in this amazing property that certainly lived up to its excellent rating.

Facilities are amazing, and everything you could wish for is provided.

Excellent property loved our stay

Parlour Barn is absolutely beautiful.

Super clean with incredible facilities. The games room, sauna and hot tub were thoroughly enjoyed. Waking up to see highland cows, horses and sheep was just wonderful, our autistic son loved this. We never go back to the same place twice, but Parlour Barn may have changed our minds.

We have just arrived home after an amazing long weekend at parlour barn.

We had 6 adults, a baby and a dog. This property was perfect for us with a fabulous layout and lovely little touches like a dog bed a d treats for our doodle who settled so well. A large enclosed garden was perfect for him. We made full use of this property during our stay. Using the great BBQ, the hot tub with amazing sunset views, the sauna and the heated outdoor seated area. And the games room was spectacular. Western themed and so much to do. A wonderful property in a fabulous location with amazing views. Just perfect. Will definitely return

The barn was lovely and clean, well equipped and owners were very responsive to any requests that we had during our stay.

The highlight of our stay has got to be the beautiful scenery with the livestock right on our doorstep, being able to sit in the patio area in an hot tub amongst highland cows was something quite special to us. We also booked the Highland cow experience and myself and my daughter met 2 of the Highland cows (Pablo & Maisie) who were wonderful! We groomed them, cuddled them and got to know them. The owners Scott & Jenny were lovely and had lots of knowledge on the cows and the animals on the farm in general. My kids (and husband) really enjoyed the games room, there was something for everyone in there and we had lots of fun as a family playing the games and singing on the karaoke. All in all, the experience was brilliant and we would come back in a heartbeat. It was safe , secure and catered for everyone from adults to children.

Fantastic property in a lovely setting 5⭐️ We just had another great weeks stay at Parlour barn for the third year in a row.

The property is maintained to a brilliant standard inside and out and is spotlessly clean. Always a nice hamper waiting for us on arrival with a bottle of bubbly and local produce. The areas surrounding the barn are currently being updated by the owners with the addition of highland cows and blacknose sheep which is great and the kids love it. The outside space is fully secure so you can let the dogs out knowing they’re safe and sound and can’t get out anywhere. They even supply treats and towels for muddy paws. We honestly can’t say enough good things about this place, it’s a credit to the owners and we will hopefully be back again next year.

Outstanding location, great facilities, spotlessly clean, owners were on hand if needed anything (which didn't) and were extremely helpful yet always gave privacy.

We stay in lots of cottages and lodges in the uk and this is up there with the best we've stayed in. Was only 2 of us plus our dog so plenty of space for us. Hope to return one day soon

Fantastic place, they thought of everything.

My daughter is using as inspiration to revise for her gcse's ! If she does great she can afford places like this to rent or to buy! Truly a loving relaxing break. Sausage dogs where in their element.

I stayed here for 3 nights with my partner, brother and his girlfriend and 2 friends and the house was perfect.

It was extremely clean, provided a huge variety of entertainment both for indoors and outdoors, the bbq, hot tub, outdoor seating hut and the grass area was all put to good use during our time and could not fault any of it! The view is incredible and the only let down was that we did find check in a bit late and check out slightly early with no ability to possibly amend these. That being said we did get out and explore the areas surrounding such as the Dovedale stepping stones, the lazy trout pub which did amazing food and also catered for GF, the black lion pub in Cheddleton and the local town of Leek all very much recommended. The house itself was spacious and very well equipped and even with our toy cavapoo was just perfect for the entire trip. Lastly the games room is INCREDIBLE and offers so much to choose from and would suit all ages! Thank you so much for having us xx

We had a really nice week at Parlour Barn.

The facilities were as described and we used the sauna, hot tub and games room frequently during our stay. The kids loved the games room, and we had a great games night in there where we took drinks and snacks down to enjoy. The robes and towels provided were really useful so we didn’t have to pack lots of bulky items.

Absolutely beautiful with excellent facilities.

We will be back. Thanks so much x

Thank you for a great week away, the property has all the facilities we could have asked for and more!

The property was clean and comfortable. Everything was excellent quality and really felt like a luxury home from home. We had great fun in the games room which had something for everyone and certainly kept our kids entertained. The outdoor area was lovely and private and such a good space to relax. The lighting provided a lovely atmosphere and the views from the hot tub were stunnning. The welcome basket was much appreciated and the information in the folder was very useful. The negatives of our stay were that the internet was not very stable and we were unable to use the tv for streaming services, the noise from people walking around upstairs was extremely loud downstairs so disturbed our sleep and the locks on the bathroom doors are ‘bolts’ and not built into the door which is dangerous, especially with children or guests with disabilities.

An amazing place to stay: We went as a family to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday and what a treat it was!

Everything you need for a relaxing stay - hot tub, games room, lovely walks and stunning accommodation. We will certainly be recommending Parlour Barn to family and friends and we will definitely be returning. Lots of lovely photos in the snow and a weekend to remember. Thank you so much!

Parlour Barn was one of the cleanest and well equipped homes that we have stayed in.

The photos don't do the place justice. The facilities are excellent and the games room was such a great feature. Plenty of games to choose from! The kitchen was very well equipped with everything that we needed for our stay. The bedrooms were very comfortable with quality mattresses and a great selection of pillows. I would highly recommend staying at Parlour Barn, and would happily return in the future.

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.

Wow!

Absolutely stunning accommodation, everything you could ever need!! 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.

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.

Best by far cottage we have stayed in.

Out side facilities was perfect for all weather conditions. Games room, was fun, tried new games & renewed our skills on old ones. All equipment you needed in cottage was available for us & our dogs, nothing lacking.

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.

We had a fantastic holiday and relax with the family at the Barn, the whole site is really well equipped and maintained.

We specifically really enjoyed the games room and enclose garden which our dogs loved. We would highly recommend.

We stayed at the adjoining barn (pastures barn)last year so thought we’d try parlour this year and we weren’t disappointed.

Both barns we stayed in were immaculately presented and are kitted out with everything you could need. Lovely discreet location but yet within a 5minutes drive you have all you need. Hoping to visit again next year.

This property is fantastic.

We had a great week celebrating my wife's birthday. The games room was ideal for my sons and Grandson's.

Great location and ideal family accommodation having the games room.

Suitable for summer or winter and we will visit again. Hosts were superb too

A stunning property the perfect place to recover from a crazy festive period and kickstart the new year .

We loved everything about it - the hot tub , sauna were a real treat and the games shack a fabulous place to spend hours with the (grown up) family. Definitely would recommend and would love to return. Thank you

We All absolutely loved staying in Parlour Barn.

It was wonderful..Our Granddaughters loved it too and wanted to stay, live there. They love a hot tub..and the Games Shack was a bonus. Thank you so much. The Merry Family..

This was our 3rd stay at Parlour barn and a special one at that being Christmas week.

Amazing as always, top notch facilities and owners. After a very busy year it’s just what we needed, now home ready to face 2024 thanks to a relaxing and perfect stay.

If you are looking at the Parlour Barn STOP scrolling & book .

An amazing holiday home, so thoughtfully put together, gorgeous interiors & so very well equipped. You will not find a better range of facilities, hot tub, sauna, log burner, dog friendly & lots of extra little touches from the owners. The games shack is brilliant & gave us hours of great competitive fun. Peaceful, picturesque location but in easy reach of lovely rural towns. We stayed in December & the barn was beautifully decorated for Christmas.

Wow, what a beautiful holiday home parlour barns is.

We spent 7 truly amazing nights here celebrating our engagement along with our family and the memories we have created here will never be forgotten. This place has everything including the sauna, hot tub, all the kitchen appliances with the ice machine, all of the board games AND a huge game’s room that has its own karaoke machine and tuned piano that we spent many hours having fun. I could not fault this place and if you’re looking at this wondering whether to book it or not… BOOK IT you will not be disappointed. We will be back again next year for sure.

Excellent accommodation, facilities were fabulous, our family had a great time

We would come here again and again.

Absolutely fantastic place to stay.

Parlour Barn is an exceptional barn conversion that is perfect in every way .

Fantastic amenities both within and outside the property, all high quality and well maintained . The sauna , hot tub & games room were used by our family and provided space to spread out on rainy days . We highly recommend this property and wouldn’t hesitate to make the 4 hour trip to get there .If your thinking of booking this property, stop thinking and just book it - you won’t be disappointed .

Totally awesome property.

Superbly equipped with everything we could possibly need. Great touches like the robes, spa towels and doggy towels. Love the tasteful decor and homely feel. Games room made the trip and allowed us to keep two 16 year olds entertained and off their phones!! Loved the whole experience and hope to return.

We had an excellent stay at Parlour Barn.

The owners went above and beyond to ensure our holiday was all we hoped for. The property was perfect, relaxing yet things for us to do. They took amazing care of our dog while we took the children into Alton Towers. We will def be back. Xx

FIVE STAR all the way!

I will definitely return to Parlour Barn. The facilities are amazing. My family loved the Games Shack and had much fun in there. See you all again soon ;o)
