“From the moment we arrived we could see that the Milking Parlour inside and out is absolutely First Class!”

Wendy and Pete the owners are lovely people and their hard work and achievements here are an inspiration. The renovation has been charmingly done - all fittings, furniture and appliances are high quality with comfy beds and excellent bathrooms. The kitchen is fantastic, very spacious and well-equipped. It's blissfully quiet in beautiful countryside with 4 gorgeous resident donkeys who love carrots and gingernuts! We highly recommend and have already booked for next year

“The place was perfect, but we would have liked a TV in the main bedroom and more outside lighting at night if we are expected to pick up after are dogs, other wise fantastic cottage.”

- Mr Linton, January 2020
“We visited the Milking Parlour at Longnor for Christmas 2019.”

Our family are spread over the UK so we chose this location to be central to everyone. The cottage was fantastic, exceptionally warm and comfortable with nothing missing. It was lovely to watch the donkey's running around and the eggs from the chickens were delicious. Wendy and Peter are on site and nothing was too much trouble for them, they were keen to check that our first evening was comfortable and that we had everything we needed. The kitchen is fantastic, with all NEFF appliances, and enough items to make everyone comfortable. All in all, it was a wonderful week, we are only sad that we will not be able to return again this year - although there is still time to book !!! Cannot recommend highly enough.

- Mrs Hart, December 2019

- Mrs Snow, November 2019
“We can’t recommend this cottage highly enough.”

The owners went above and beyond. Great things for my children to do and great facilities offered for my baby. We will definitely be returning and will be recommending to family and friends. We love the donkeys and chickens! Thank you

- Mrs Nicholson, November 2019
“A beautiful cottage in a beautiful location.”

Wendy & Peter have done an excellent job converting what were old farm buildings into first class accommodation. We had everything you could ask for & they could not have been more obliging. Despite the dreadful weather we managed to go out everyday, pity we could not walk as it was far too wet. Hopefully next time.

- Mrs Collerson, November 2019
“Beautiful, well appointed and very comfortable accommodation.”

. The owners made us feel very welcome. We had a wonderful holiday and highly recommend Them.

- Mrs Smith, October 2019
“What a great place, we’re so lucky to have been to this new accommodation!”

Third bedroom a little small for manoeuvring around but otherwise faultless, and such a welcome. Wendy has clearly put a lot of effort to get this right!!!

- Mrs Raw, October 2019
“We were given a very friendly welcome by Wendy & Pete our hosts for our stay in the milking parlour,first impression was excellent they have done an amazing job of renovating the farm buildings into top class holiday cottages .”

The outside was impressive but the inside even more so, the kitchen and bathrooms are beautifully done with good quality appliances and fittings everything you need for a comfortable stay. The outside areas have also been done to a very good standard with seating & barbecue lovely flower beds and pots all around and on top of all that 4 beautiful friendly donkeys to feed and the best free range eggs from Wendy's hens we would highly recommend staying here and the area has so much to see and do Mark& Christine Pearson

- Mr Pearson, September 2019
“The Milking Parlour is a fantastic place to book to explore the Peak district.”

We had a family get together for 4 days and loved the accommodation and location. Wendy is a lovely host and the cottage is very homely with everything you'd need for a short stay/ weekend away and every bedroom has an ensuite and comfortable beds. From here you can either drive or walk to nearby towns which have pubs and restaurants and there's plenty of walking from your doorstep. We had a brilliant stay.

- Mr Jeffcoate, September 2019
“Excellent accommodation”

What an excellent cottage this is. Very well presented and finished to a very high standard, This is an absolute gem. Wendy and Pete, the owners, made us very welcome and recommended places to eat. So popular we couldn’t get in. Maybe next time. Feeding the donkeys became a ritual. Carrots in the morning and afternoon tea of ginger nut biscuits. They soon got used to that. We found it pretty central to where we visited. Chatsworth House, Bakewell, Buxton, and a little further to Jodrell Bank and to the potteries in Stoke. I would have no hesitation in recommending this cottage.

- DeeCee25, September 2019
“Lovely welcoming owners.”

Fantastic property furnished to a very high standard with everything you could possibly need for a lovely holiday. Set in a picturesque part of the uk with lots of things to do and visit. All I can say is go ahead and book now. You will not be disappointed.

- Mrs Plaskett, September 2019
“Fantastic Cottage”

We arrived on the Saturday and was met by Wendy what a lovely warm welcome to the start of our holiday next Pete comes a joins in for a chat. Petes enthusiasm for his milking parlour conversion was lovely with lots of tips for a project we are undertaking. The standard of the workmanship on Milking parlour was lovely. The quality of the fittings and furniture are to be admired no skimping on this project.quality kitchen appliances. The Open fireplace with log burner in the lounge will make cosy winter evenings although the central heating system is very efficient, you certainly won’t be cold in this Cottage what ever the weather is outside. Waking up to the distant sound of the chickens or the four Donkeys in the field was heaven, Important tip don’t forget to feed the Donkeys their favourite ginger nut biscuits and to balance their diet they do appreciate a nice carrot or two. Wendy also sells eggs so treat yourself to very fresh eggs for your breakfast. The local area has some nice pubs and restaurants as well as the Market town of Bakewell not to fa4 away. Visit Bakewell on a Market day Monday and enjoy a coffee and slice of Bakewell tart. Chatsworth House is just up the road well worth a visit. If you fancy throwing a pot or two the Wedgewood factory tour is very informative and for a bit of fun have a go at making a pot of your own. The factory shop has some nice bargains so treat yourself. In summary lovely people Pete and Wendy the Owners of the Milking parlour, highly recommend their property, you certainly won’t be disappointed. Thanks for a lovely stay

“Absolutely the best cottage we have stayed in.”

The two proprietors Wendy and Pete have done a fantastic job in opening up their farm and cottages to guests. They were very welcoming to our family especially our daughter who got lots of attention from their 4 donkeys! We were very lucky to have good weather and the cottage with all of its new equipment, furniture and facilities really felt like a home from home. Great people, Great place and Great holiday *****
