"A very cosy and homely cottage."
High standard of equipment and cleanliness. A great location close enough to Derby but out in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside. We found it a great base for exploring Chatsworth, Matlock and Bakewell. Holbrook, where Chestnuts Barn is located; is a lovely, friendly place. The Spotted Cow pub is a three minute walk away and has great food as well as a fine range of local beers. We would highly recommend Chestnuts Barn and hope to return one day.

"This is our second stay at Chestnuts Barn and I'd be surprised if it's our last."
It is positioned beautifully, and is a fantastic little cottage excellently laid out for our usage with two bedrooms and a toilet downstairs, the living room, kitchen, and shower room being upstairs. This means if you struggle with stairs you can flop down in the (very comfortable) bed without having to struggle climbing.
The landlords are very welcoming, patient, and friendly, but give you space to enjoy your holiday rather than checking in every day, but will answer any problem you have even around Christmas. They're also very responsive to feedback about the property and how to make it more comfortable or easier to use, and have been very accommodating.
We will be back!

"A real home-from-home."
The barn is beautifully furnished, well- equipped, comfortable and located perfectly for visits to local attractions. The owners offer a really high standard of service with complementary items on arrival, including everything you need for your doggy companion! Lots of local pubs, easy to walk to, all serving great food. Highly recommended.

"Loved our stay in Chestnuts Barn!"
It was the perfect home away from home for us and perfect for what we needed close to the family we’d come to visit and close to the A38 to get around easily.
It had everything we needed for a comfy stay and the welcome pack was lovely extra.
The one thing I would say was parking is a lil tight but then I haven’t driven in the uk for quite a while so that was probably more me than anything else!! Haha
Thank you for a lovely stay will definitely come back the next time we’re back to visit family.

"Chestnuts Barn was very well presented."
It had all that you could need for a comfortable, relaxing stay. Everything was done to a high standard and the whole barn was spotlessly clean and fresh. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of room throughout.
The location was perfect for our needs and set in a beautiful village. The hosts were very friendly and approachable and we felt that our needs were important to them.

"We had a lovely few days at Chestnuts Barn."
It is very comfortable and situated in a lovely village close to lots of places of interest. It is dog friendly just a shame it hasn't got a garden where we could let the dog out for a run. But she enjoyed lots of walks instead.

The photos of the barn are correct on your website, the rooms are large, Wi-Fi is very good no lag, the power shower is great and get hot within 30 seconds, the bed is good and nighttime no noise from the road, all of the Peak District can be reached within an
hour, the Spotted calf and it’s mother are very good, parking is a bit tight for some vehicles but ok once you get the hang of it, would recommend to anyone that’s overall it is a lovely place to stay , would book again

"We are just back from a lovely week in Chestnuts Barn and would highly recommend this property."
The cottage is a cosey barn conversion with all the comforts of home. The kitchen is well equipped the living room comfortable with a good sized smart TV. The WiFi and mobile reception (O2) are also both excellent.
Holbrook has lots to offer both in terms of the two local pubs, a friendly tearoom, a small shop and lots of good walking straight from the door. For anyone worried, having read about the parking, I have a Land Rover Discovery Sport and was able to park this without difficulty, although anything bigger might be a challenge!
Within a short drive there is much more to be found, The southern end White Peak is about 20 minutes away by car and Bakewell about 45 minutes. We booked on to the Denby Pottery factory tour (10 minutes away) which was a good option for a damp day.
Also worthy of a mention is Barry Fitch butchers shop in Little Eaton (1.5 miles away). The Fitch family farm locally and take great pride in selling the best of their produce in the shop along with a popular range of filled cobs and much, much more!
We are already looking forward to our next visit!

"The cottage is in a lovely spot in the village and the owners were really nice."
Our stay was almost like being in hotel rooms, with the fluffy towels, complimentary toiletries, comfortable beds and towelling dressing gowns.
The only slight disadvantage was parking. The available spot is tight to get into, though fine if you are a competent driver. There is road parking in the village.

"Excellent cottage in a lovely location!"
The accommodation had everything we needed as a family which included a 10 year old boy and a small pooch. The village itself (Holbrook) was busy with some fast cars driving through but had an amazing pub (Spotted Cow), lovely café (Spotted Calf) and a very handy shop. There were lots of lovely places to visit within the area, loads of amazing walks from the cottage and plenty of local pubs serving the most fantastic food.
We had a fantastic week at Chestnuts Barn, would definitely return and would highly recommend a visit!!

"A lovely family weekend break."
We were extremely lucky with the weather, 32 degrees! It would have been helpful to have a small freezer compartment in the fridge for our ice lollies though. The host left us a lovely welcome hamper too with a beautiful fresh cake! Great facilities and location. Lots of leaflets/walking guides etc to help us and a lovely spacious living room upstairs. Great idea to have the bedrooms downstairs as it was much cooler at night so we weren’t too hot when it came to sleeping. Thanks again for a brilliant stay! The Peaks is beautiful!

The local shop has free cash withdrawals which is really useful as you'll need lots of change for the car parking if you're planning on driving anywhere.
