“You couldn’t ask for better accommodation and location with lovely views.”

The property was finished to a 5 star standard and you are made so welcome by Wendy & Peter, its a real home from home. Even the Donkeys were friendly and put a smile on your face (of course it helps if you have a carrot in your pocket)

“The Milking Parlour is a charming conversion of an old farm building, well and luxuriously appointed.”

It was spotless throughout. It is well situated to explore the many opportunities of the Peak District. We have no hesitation in recommending it.

“Wow! What a cottage We were so very happy with the milking parlour.”

We didn't want to leave Wendy and Pete were so lovely and couldn't have wished for better hosts on the farm My kids daily went to collect the chickens eggs and fed the donkeys ginger nuts and carrots. My son bonded with the donkey bertie and cried all the way home we didn't want to leave. Couldn't have wished for a more relaxed setting very peaceful place to hire. We will be returning to the milking parlour in the future. Welldone wendy and Pete on the cottages they are amazingly done to a very high standard very clean and felt like home from home

“The Milking Parlour has been beautifully renovated, retaining lots of the old character such as the beams.”

There was plenty of outside space to enjoy, and a table for al fresco dining. We enjoyed making friends with the donkeys too. Wendy was very friendly and keen that we enjoyed our stay and had everything we needed. Would highly recommend this property.

Mrs Hopper February 2020

“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.”

“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.

“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
