    "We had a brief, very enjoyable visit."

    This place was ideal for us. The walks immediately out the door were just right, leading to the River Wye and Monsal Trail. I borrowed a stick for walking, which did prove very much needed. One could be stocked for others, in future. I brought with me an Explorer map 24 which was helpful. This, too, could prove handy for others. Google maps was useful but our batteries ran out so a map is needed unless you know tge area. The Tibbles were helpful and friendly.

    It was just as advertised. It had everything I needed and the field for my dog to run in was a bonus.

    "We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at Swallow Barn with our elderly dog Dan."

    It was one of the most relaxing holidays we've had with wonderful, helpful hosts - thank you Amber! We couldn't have asked for more - accomodation was very clean and comfortable and relaxing. Perfectly situated in the wonderful Derbyshire countryside within easy access to Bakewell and Buxton. We fully intend to return for another lovely holiday. Thank you.

    "Not especially dog friendly but otherwise a remote but very accessible cottage in a peaceful location with walks from the doorstep, including the Monsal Trail."

    The accommodation is well equipped & furnished, cosy & comfortable for 2 guests. But the rear courtyard is tiny and not ideal for dogs' needs, whilst there isn't an enclosed area immediately to the front of the property so it doesn't lend itself to dogs wandering freely. Only other issues were both in the shower room, where neither the extractor fan or bathroom mirror light worked, but not a big deal. Overall good VFM and even better if you don't have a dog with you

    Thank you for your review, but we have never had any negative feedback from dog owners before. Property Owner

Where you’ll be staying

View on map

PRIESTCLIFFE

Bakewell 7 miles.

Priestcliffe is a small hamlet of farms and dwellings, sited between Taddington, the River Wye and Monsal Head. This is the scenic heart of the Peak District, with high limestone hills offering fantastic walks. Monsal Head is a famous beauty spot, with a magnificent view down Monsal Dale and up the Wye Valley. The position is at a spot where the Wye, on its passage eastwards to meet the Derwent, encounters a band of harder rock and is forced to make a sharp turn southwards and carve its way through a high ridge of limestone. The view is spectacular, with the river far below, winding through a steep-sided and often rocky valley. The route of the former Midland Railway makes its way along Monsal Dale and was carried by a viaduct over the river and into a tunnel which goes right beneath Monsal Head. This is now part of the Monsal Trail, a popular route with walkers. The attractive market town of Bakewell is just 7 miles away and offers visitors a good selection of shops, restaurants and pubs, as well as frequent local farmers’ markets. An ideal location for exploring the Peak District National Park.
