Douglas's Barn

Lovely comfortable cottage with beautiful outdoor space including lawns

Douglas' Barn is a wonderful holiday retreat set in a beautiful, mature garden with facilities to dine outside.

The interior is tastefully decorated with lots of extras to make your stay even more enjoyable and the kitchen is superbly equipped with everything you could possibly want. The owners were warm and friendly attending to our every need. We would confidently recommend a holiday at Douglas' Barn.

What a fantastic hideaway for a perfect Peak District break.

The barn was superb and one of the best we have stayed in for comfort and facilities. The village was super friendly and the local pub was excellent for drinks and food. Cannot recommend it enough - perfect location between main Peak towns and attractions, but also excellent walks from the door for that hideaway feel . thank you x

We had an enjoyable stay at Douglas's Barn, it was very clean and tidy, though some area's such as over the washing machine and under the bed needed attention.

It was much appreciated to have use of the ev charger on site, and to allow our dog to stay. The village pub was very nice and also allowed dogs. It was a great location to explore the Derbyshire Dale's, and would return here, as the owners were very accommodating.

Very enjoyable stay in a comfortable and well-equipped cottage.

Beautiful surroundings.

Fantastic cottage met all our needs.

Well appointed, above and beyond, thank you And your dogs were a delight too

Douglas's Barn is a perfect base to explore the Peak District for a couple or single traveller.

Plenty of room and facilities were all there, and the place was spotless, with a nice comfy bed - which is really all you can ask for. Ang and Rob were perfect hosts - helpful and friendly. My only suggestion is that, at the time of writing (Oct 2025) there is no phone or satellite signal in the area (apparently due to problems with the local mast), so I would suggest you print out things like a map of the village with locations before you travel, as the barn is a little difficult to find if you suddenly lose signal a couple of miles out (once in the barn, the WiFi is perfect).

Fabulous place in a picture perfect village.

Had a lovely few days despite storm conditions! Handy pub in the village with great food. Definitely recommend a trip here.

We have been to Douglas and Tom's barn on several occasions over a period of 12 years.

The standard has always been high and Parwich is such a lovely village. Robert and Angela are lovely, friendly hosts.

Lovely cottage for two with plenty of room - a really nicer sized place.

Tucked away in a lovely ‘out of the way’ village in gorgeous countryside Cottage was very well equipped and the yard made it even better

We had a very comfortable week's stay at Douglas Barn.

It's very well equipped and the furniture / fittings / equipment are of a high standard. The bed is comfy and the Velux blind reduced brightness. The fan was portable and appreciated in the hot weather. Also, lots of fluffy towels and a spa bath! We arranged to charge our EV with the owners. It was nice to sit outside, but there isn't anywhere private to sit as the two rentals are adjacent. We found the dogs rather noisy, especially in the next cottage at night. Overall, a lovely base in a picturesque Peak village.

We have spent many self-catering holidays in the UK with a range of experiences.

Douglas's Barn has been the best holiday home we have rented and difficult to better. The Barn is well appointed, comfortable and very rural. The owners, Ange and Robert were very welcoming and accommodating. The raspberries were excellent! Thank you. Having recently purchased an EV our principle reason for choosing Douglas's Barn as there was an EV charging point available for guests. Parwich is a wonderful village with a great community spirit and fantastic pub 5 minutes walk from the Barn. We were fortunate enough to arrive for Wakes Week; an annual celebration in the village for the Oddfellows. There was plenty of events to join in with from fancy dress to sheep shearing accompanied by a pipe band. While this was our first trip the the Derbyshire Peak District it won't be our last and we will be returning to Douglas's Barn or Tom's Barn next door.

Lovely little hideaway, such a beautiful garden & Very peaceful.

Surrounding countryside gorgeous.

Lovely property with friendly owners in a lovely location.

A sign in the village would help with finding the property.

Absolutely lovely peaceful stay in a fantastically equipped property
