My wife and I have stayed at Lilimae Barn four times, including one ten day holiday and one fortnight holiday, in the last three years.

This is one of the nicest cottages we have stayed in.
The decor was perfect the products provided from the complimentary tray to the soap shampoo and body lotion were of very high quality. Beds extremely comfortable we will most certainly revisit this property again. Owner was very approachable and nothing was too much trouble.
Brilliantly equipped barn conversion in an excellent location and extremely welcoming!
A definite home from home. Lovely touches with a welcome tray of goodies and milk, bread and eggs, comfy beds made for a very relaxing stay. Would highly recommend and would definitely book again!
Such a lovely welcoming place to stay.
Very clean and finished to a high standard with lots of welcoming touches like bread, milk, eggs and a welcome tray of goodies. The beds were so comfy and because it's such a quiet location we slept really well. We were looking for somewhere to relax for a few nights and we weren't disappointed. Excellent location.

Lilimae Barn is a warm, comfortable, spotlessly clean and totally equipped accommodation. Situated just on the edge of the village of Hognaston, it's a great base for exploring the area and the village pub is a two minute walk away. We've stayed in lots of self catering accommodation over the years and this is one of the best. Rose was lovely, very responsive to any questions and left us a really nice welcome pack. We are already making plans for a return visit.

A 2nd lovely stay at Lilimae barn.
The barn is spotlessly clean and is the best equipped cottage we have stayed in. The attention to detail and great quality of everything throughout makes it feel so special. Warm and cosy, very comfortable beds, fantastic walk in shower, excellent televisions. A short walk or drive to Carsington water. Lovely quiet friendly location.The welcome basket above and beyond basics was greatly appreciated. Rose is the perfect host having excellent communication before we arrived and after to ensure everything was ok. There is absolutely nothing that has not been thought of for guests comfort. We would highly recommend and give more than 5 * if we could.
Many many thanks, Andrew - your feedback means so very much. It was such a pleasure to welcome you again at Lilimae Barn and I’m thrilled you had such a wonderful stay.

Thank you so much, David and Marian - your feedback is much appreciated indeed. I am so pleased Lilimae Barn and the local area offered all you needed for your break. I’ll hopefully welcome you again.
One of the best cottages we've stayed in.
Beautiful cottage in a great location. Brilliant welcome pack. Owners helpful and friendly but not intrusive. Highly recommended.
Thank you, Steve. I really do appreciate your feedback, and am thrilled you had a super break.
We recently stayed at this lovely holiday cottage and couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
From the moment we arrived, we were struck by how clean, cozy, and beautifully maintained everything was. The cottage is full of charm, with tasteful décor and thoughtful touches throughout — it felt like a real home away from home. The location was peaceful and scenic, ideal for unwinding, with a walking trail right on the doorstep to Carsington Water. The kitchen was very well-equipped with everything one could possibly need. The beds were super comfortable,with quality bedding. Our hosts were very welcoming, providing an appreciated welcome pack. A pub is a short walk , providing lunches and dinners most days of the week.. It’s clear they take real pride in the cottage and care about their guests' experience. We’d absolutely recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing countryside stay.
David - thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful feedback. I really do care about guests’ experience, and am so pleased yours was such a positive one - both in terms of the property and local area. Thank you again.
Not having spent any leisure time in the Peak District - be it White or otherwise - Lilimae Barn in Hognaston was a real find.
Instead of repeating Kiera and Sarah, I will just say that I support all that they have said about Rose, the cottage and the area.
Many thanks indeed, Sharon - your feedback is much appreciated indeed. I am so pleased you had a super break in the Peak District.
This Barn conversion is of the very highest standard, whilst owner, Rose, is the "hostess with the modest".
5 stars are not enough!!!!!
Thank you so much, Tony - I’m thrilled you and your family had such a wonderful break and it was super to have communication with you before and during your stay. I really do appreciate your feedback.
What a find Lillimae Barn is!
From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, everything little thing was perfect. A welcome pack with coffee pods, teabags, sugar, wine and beer, fresh baked bread, butter and milk. A perfect personal touch. The attention to detail was incredible. I usually clean when I check in anywhere but the whole cottage was spotless, and presented beautifully, very high spec equipment, every piece of cutlery/crockery you could possibly need for all four of us. Even a tea towel and laundry pods. I honestly can’t believe how lucky we have been to find such a gem. Located in a quiet idyllic little village close to lots of places of interest. This is not just an income to the owner, they actually put passion and effort in to making your stay special. Thank you.
Thank you so very much indeed, Kiera - your feedback means an awful lot, it really does. I am thrilled to hear how happy you were with the property and what a super stay you’ve had. I hope to welcome you again in the future.
2nd time at the cottage and still didn’t disappoint the cottage is in a great location to visit many place that are not far to get to .
Also great walks from the property it’s self .
Hi Sarah - thanks so much for taking the time to send your feedback. It was a real pleasure to welcome you once more and we will hopefully see you again.
We had a fantastic stay.
The barn was spotless and very comfortable especially the beds. It had everything we needed for a great stay. The location is great for walks, The Red Lion is a nice pub just up the road and Carsington water is only a walk away.
Hi Annette, sincere thanks for your positive feedback about the property and local area - it really is appreciated. I’m so pleased you had a super stay.
My wife and I originally only booked for a short break we then managed to book the next week as well, glad we did!
We were so impressed by Lilimae Barn; so clean, with modern kitchen appliances (wine cooler a particularly good addition) and all the kitchen equipment you could wish for! Not usually what we find in a lot of holiday stays! Communication with Rose before the holiday about the dietary requirements of the welcome pack was excellent. What a good welcome pack! The barn has an excellent bathroom, and the beds are comfortable. Such a good place to stay any time of year! We have stayed in Derbyshire at least six times in different holiday homes and this was the best! The barn is also easy to find, easy to go out and about from (good pubs in the area for food), very quiet and the people in the village are very friendly. Highly recommended.
Thank you so very much, David - your feedback and kind words really do mean a lot. I’m thrilled you had such a super stay, and the property and its location were everything you needed them to be for a lovely break.
Our week stay at Lilimae Barn was amazing.
The Barn is set to a high standard and everything seems to have been thought of, even a fan for the upstairs as was extremely hot when we visited. But was nice to have cool bedrooms. The welcome hamper was an added bonus. Rose checked in to see if we were OK and had a nice personalised email. We went out to Carsington Water, Heights of Abraham, Crich Tramway Village, Bakewell and Ashbourne. Had a lovely meal at Miners Arms in Carsington, and two visits to local pub Red Lion, the Sunday roast was beautiful. Weather was amazing while we were there. Would highly recommend staying here.
Sincere and heartfelt thanks, Donna for your kind and positive feedback - I really do appreciate it. Your thoughtful recommendations are super too. I’m so pleased you had such a lovely stay with us and in Derbyshire.
Lilimae Barn has been beautifully converted into a comfortable holiday home.
It is being maintained to an exceptionally high standard - spotlessly clean, freshly decorated and very well equipped. The owner, Rose, got in touch prior to our stay and again after we arrived, to make sure everything was OK and we had everything we needed. All holiday accommodation should be like Lilimae Barn. If only!
Thank you so very much, Colin - it was a pleasure to have you stay and I am thrilled to hear how happy you were at Lilimae Barn. I really do appreciate you taking the time to offer such positive feedback.
Lovely cottage, well appointed.
Would definitely recommend . A nice touch was the welcome hamper which included a gift for our grandson.
Thank you, David. Your feedback means a lot and I am so pleased the property was pleasing to you all.
Lilimae is a delightful cottage set in a beautiful historic village right near Carsington water which is easily accessed either on foot through a small wood or by car a few minutes drive.
Rose the owner keeps you updated by email and text before you go and when you are there. The cottage has been beautifully done with everything you could need for a great stay, comfy beds and a generous welcome pack with a excellent bathroom and kitchen. The red lion pub is just a 2 minuets walk and serves good food. We would highly recommend this cottage.
Thank you so much, Jannette. I really appreciate you taking the time to offer such generous and informative feedback, and I am thrilled you had such a lovely break.
This was our second stay in this lovely cottage.
It is well thought out with everything you need for a comfortable holiday, and one of the cleanest we’ve ever stayed in. A village pub that offers good food is a bonus and there’s lots to see and do in the vicinity Rose, the owner, is welcoming and supportive, and provides a fabulous welcome pack, which was much appreciated. She also messaged to ensure everything was ok during our stay and I highly recommend this cottage
Hi Angela - it was an absolute pleasure to welcome you again. I am so pleased you had another super stay. Thank you so much for taking the time to offer this feedback, it is much appreciated indeed. I hope to see you in the future.
Wow what an amazing cottage, extremely clean and very comfy throughout.
Upon arrival we were welcomed to an array of goodies, which was very thoughtful and muchly appreciated. Even the weather was kind to us for all the walking/exploring we did, especially from the doorstep to Carsington.
Thank you so much, Amanda. Your feedback means a lot and I really appreciate you taking the time to share it. I’m so pleased you had a wonderful stay and enjoyed all the property and local area had to offer.
Fantastic stay in a beautiful barn!
The barn itself is finished to a really high standard, had everything we needed for our stay plus so much more and was beautiful to stay in! The location is great- only a half hour drive maximum to so many beautiful places like Bakewell and Matlock! Rose was so helpful and friendly. She messaged when we booked to ask if we needed anything. We needed a stair gate, cot and high chair- this seemed like no problem at all- she was so friendly about it! The text to say the barn was ready slightly earlier than check in time and we could check out later was so appreciated as this is not something many owners would do! The welcome pack is such a nice gesture and included a book for our little boy plus a personalised welcome letter- just little extras that go a long way!! We really appreciated all of the effort and extras Rose had put in and the barn was perfect for our family of three! Would highly recommend!
Hi Mia - thank you so very much for taking the time to offer such super feedback, I really do appreciate it. I’m so thrilled you had a lovely break and that Lilimae Barn was all you needed it to be. Thanks also for the recommendation.
A beautiful place to stay, so handy to explore the local area.
The welcome pack was so thoughtful and extremely high quality. The kitchen so well stocked with all utensils and a modern oven that was easy to use, including childrens crockery and cutlery. Bathroom and bedrooms clean and comfortable. Such a lovely place to come back to after exploring for days out, and also a good place to relax when the weather was bad. Thank you so much Rose and family, a wonderful accommodation for our family. Highly recommend for families and a place to relax.
Hi Tony and family - I am so thrilled you had a wonderful stay and the property offered you somewhere to relax. I really do appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback and recommend Lilimae Barn. I look forward to welcoming you again in the future.
We had the most amazing stay at Lilimae Barn.
Excellent accommodation and well equipped- Rose has literally thought of everything you could possibly need. Lots of lovely personal touches and great communication. Location for us was perfect as was pretty central using the car to all the places we wanted to visit such as Dovedale, Chatsworth House, Carsington Waters, Poole’s Cavern and much more. Carsington waters was right on the doorstep and just a short walk away which was excellent! Highly recommend staying here!! Will definitely be back. Thanks so much Rose!

Lilimae barn is just as described.
It’s a beautifully converted barn in the centre of a lovely, friendly village. The attention to detail is stunning and all fixtures are to the highest standard. I sincerely cannot fault any element of property or surrounding area. We arrived to find a wonderful welcome pack which was greatly appreciated. We visited and walked around the whole of Carsington reservoir after enjoying a really nice breakfast at the visitors centre. The Red Lion pub serves excellent food with large portions. My wife and I have already enquired about returning… but seems it’s that good you will need to get in quickly!! Fantastic stay. We will be back. Kind regards Leon & Sam from Nottingham.

The cottage is extremely well presented and everything you could need for a weeks stay has been thought of by Rose the owner.
When we arrived at the cottage it was very clean and tidy, and Rose had left a lovely welcome hamper which was very much appreciated and a lovely touch. Rose contacted us soon after we had arrived to check everything was ok, and also to let us know if we needed anything we only had to contact her. The location of the cottage is ideal for exploring the local area, and it’s very quiet with very little traffic or road noise passing by the cottage. We visited the Red Lion pub just up the road for Sunday Lunch which was fantastic. We would highly recommended staying at Lilimae Barn and hope to come back again to stay.

We had a lovely stay at this comfortable little cottage.
It was spotlessly clean and the towels were very soft. The child friendly items (eg highchair, cot, and stair gates) made the holiday much easier. The wonderful welcome basket, including some sweet gifts for the children, was a very nice touch. It is in a great location for exploring the Peak District area. The Red Lion pub in the village served delicious food and was quiet and welcoming to children.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review, Laura - it is much appreciated. I am so pleased you and your family had a lovely break at Lilimae Barn and that the area offered something for you all.
This is a superbly renovated cottage in a delightful village.
The attention to detail is amongst the best we have stayed in and Rose is equally attentive in all her communication. The cottage has a high spec kitchen and bathroom and a comfortable and well equipped bedrooms with stacks of wardrobe space. The bath towels are the softest we've encountered in a hotel or B&B and the lounge is light and airy. We loved our short stay and plan to return in the future.
Thank you so very much, Paul - your feedback is very much appreciated indeed. I am thrilled you had such a lovely break and it would be a pleasure to welcome you back.
We had a great time at Lilimae Barn, It was exactly as described and suited our needs perfectly.
The welcome pack, attention to detail and assistance both before and during our stay was very much appreciated Thanks Rose - you are a top host! Would definitely return
Sincere thanks indeed, Kevin for being such wonderful guests and offering such super feedback - I really do appreciate it. I’m so pleased Lilimae Barn was all you hoped and needed it to be. It would be wonderful to have you return.
A fabulous property - beautifully decorated & thoughtfully equipped, the perfect place for a relaxing stay in The Peaks.
The personal welcome was a lovely extra touch. I will be recommending Lilimae to friends and will definitely be back.
Thank you so much, Debbie. I really do appreciate you taking the time to offer such positive feedback and for being willing to recommend Lilimae to friends. I’m so pleased you had a relaxing stay and I very much look forward to welcoming you again.
Lilimae Barn is a beautifully appointed and very well equipped property.
The property was spotlessly clean and Rose was a wonderful host with exactly the right balance of care without ever being intrusive. We felt that our stay represented excellent value for money, especially given the prime location in the Peak District. We were able to easily access all the best locations and hikes from the tranquil setting in Hognaston. Thank you Rose, we would love to stay again. Absolutely brilliant!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review, Simon. I am thrilled you had such a lovely break and found the property and area met all of your requirements. It was a pleasure to have you stay and I would love to welcome you again.
What a wonderful cottage Lilmae barn is, the village is so quiet and everything about the cottage was perfect, being immaculately clean and well equipped, with gorgeous big fluffy towels.
Rose was absolutely brilliant in helping us to prepare for our holiday, and the welcome gifts were so generous. We would highly recommend this property
Thank you so much for your feedback, Brian - it is very much appreciated indeed. It really does mean a lot that you found Lilimae Barn so comfortable. I am so pleased you had a super break - it was a pleasure to have you stay.
Even before we arrived we had a message from Rose asking any requirements to ensure everything was perfect on arrival.
When we got to the cottage she had left us a welcome tray with thoughtful locally sourced treats and butter, bread and milk ready for us, even though we hadn’t requested this. The cottage itself was beautiful inside and out, finished to a very high standard, and with everything you could possibly need provided and ready, and easy to find. The decor is perfect- cosy and rustic, and every room was lovely, from the relaxing living area to the rainforest shower in the bathroom. The cottage is situated in the middle of the village but the environment still felt so quiet and relaxed. Local residents were friendly, and we loved exploring Carsington water (a nice walk to get there), Dovedale stepping stones, and the Heights of Abraham. Definitely would have liked to do a little more hiking as the area around Hognaston is beautiful. Rose kept contact without being at all intrusive, to ensure everything was ok. This was much appreciated. Overall it was a home away from home and a perfect stay, we wouldn’t change anything and would recommend highly to everyone.
Hi Humaira- I can’t thank you enough for your feedback. I’m so pleased you had such a lovely break and everything was to your satisfaction. Thank you also for your recommendation, it is much appreciated indeed. We hope to welcome you again in the future.
We spent the May half term at Lilimae Barn and we just loved any minute of it.
The barn is in a lovely little village, very close to Carsington Water and in an area full of activities for the children. The barn was spectacularly refurbished and sparkling clean. We were also impressed by how well the equipped the kitchen was. The icing on the cake was the basket full of local products and gifts for the children! We would highly recommend Lilimae Barn and we would definitely go back!
Hi, Frederica - I’m so thrilled you had a super break and I really appreciate your feedback and recommendation. It would be a pleasure to welcome you once more, thanks again.
Lilimae Barn is a wonderful holiday home, very comfortable and has everything a holiday maker needs.
It's really well located for day trips to such beautiful places as Dovedale, Ilam and National Trust Kedleston Hall. The nearby Carsington Water is a gem! We are very happy to recommend it.
Hi Cheryl - thank you so much for your recommendation and for taking the time to write such a positive and helpful review; it is very much appreciated. I’m really pleased you had a lovely stay and enjoyed exploring beautiful Derbyshire.
Lilimae Barn is in a lovely peaceful village within walking distance of the pub which does good food.
The cottage was immaculately clean and comfortable with everything you can think of provided. The kitchen had a fantastic range of equipment and crockery, glasses etc. The bedrooms are lovely and comfortable with lots of storage. The bathroom is also a pleasure to use. The host, Rose, goes above and beyond with a very generous welcome pack and texts to check if everything was OK. This is a really top quality holiday cottage and the best we have had through Sykes.
Thank you so much, Penny. I really am thrilled you had such a super break. It is great to hear that you enjoyed being in Lilimae Barn, and that it provided everything you needed. I also really appreciate you taking the time to write a review and offer such generous feedback.
Excellent accommodation, one of the best I’ve stayed in.
Lovely and clean with everything you could possibly need. The welcome hamper was exceptional, and much appreciated. It was lovely to meet Rose, the owner too. Well situated with lots to see and do in the area, and good local pub serving food within walking distance. Definitely plan to return as we had a lovely time.
Hi Angela - it was lovely to meet you too. I’m so pleased you had a super break and plan to return; it would be a pleasure to welcome you once more. Thank you for taking the time to write a review and offer such positive feedback - it is much appreciated indeed.
Well what can I say, Lilimae Barn was simply perfect for our visit to the peaks.
On arrival we found a welcome tray of goodies plus milk, bread and butter, a very nice touch. The kitchen was well equipped and the lounge area provided games, books and guides to help you explore the area. Lilimae Barn is clean and beautifully furnished. The beds are extremely comfortable and there is plenty of storage space if you plan to stay for a while. The surrounding area is stunning with a great little pub just a short walk up the road. We are already working out when we can visit again. Many thanks for everything Rose.
It was my pleasure. Thank you for taking the time to write such a positive review - it is much appreciated. I am so pleased you had a lovely break and I hope to welcome you again.
Delightful, cosy property that has been cleverly renovated.
Taking a 10 month old away isn’t always easy, but the property owners provided us with cot, highchair and stair gate, making life so much easier.. Definitely a gem of a find!
Hi Lauren - thank you so much for taking the time to write a review, I really appreciate it. I’m so pleased you had a super stay and we will hopefully see you again in the future.
Everything was perfect about our stay at Liliemae Barn.
Property has been beautifully modernised and is of a very high standard. We received communication from the host before and during our stay just to make sure we had everything we needed and all was okay, which it was, stairgates and a travel cot/ cot fitted sheet were also provided for our young grandson. The location of the barn is ideal to reach all the Peaks District has to offer, so close to Carsington Waters, Dovedale, Bakewell, Buxton and Ashbourne. Would definitely recommend.
Hi Carol, I am so pleased you had a lovely break and the barn met all your requirements. Thanks so much for your positive feedback - it really is very much appreciated indeed. I hope to see you again in the future.
Really lovely stay, everything spot on couldn't fault it.
Rose the host text during our stay to ensure everything was going OK and to make sure that there was nothing we needed which we thought was very considerate. Would highly recommend.
Thank you so much, Paul. I am so pleased you had a wonderful break at Lilimae Barn. It was a pleasure to have you stay. I really appreciate you taking the time to offer such positive feedback and hope to see you again in the future.
