sad to leave, we will be back for certain x

Stunning location, stunning house which was a surprise to how stunning it was as the photos did not sell it to be as stunning a find when we walked in and gasped. The owner had thought of everything as if it was lovingly put together. I could have stayed forever very happily. It rained and we had the best thunderstorm and lightening display and were very cozy ! We lost power twice due to the storm, it was just very much a romantic, cozy wild weather, snug getaway. Did I mention it was stunning?! My partner used the BBQ for Tbone and fillet steaks, and watched the storm, which for me I love being in the peak district in a wild earth storm!! Stunning view, great space for the dog at the back of the house. The welcome hamper made for a very warm welcome in from the storm, thank you. We went to the cafe which was suggested and this was absolutely delicious and we will be go again.

The only concern I had was the missing grout in the living room tiles. I had my 2 year old little girl with me and worried about her tripping up on the gaps (as they were rather large) and landing on the hard floor or onto the corners of the furniture. It wasn't anything major and didn't take away from our experience at all. We loved everything else and could not fault the place at all. I only mention this as I think it could be a quick fix.

We loved the cottage. It was absolutely beautiful and had everything we needed. It was central to everything we wanted to visit as well, so it was perfect for location. We've already recommended it to other friends and sent them a link to booking.com.

Nothing. It was perfect for us.

A very comfortable and cosy cottage in a great location to visit and hike the best Peak District locations. I stayed with my son and 2 white German Shepherd dogs. The cottage is a good size with everything we needed, including a very good welcome pack. There is a small garden with a lovely seating area and nice views and, if like me you have dogs, there is an adding field to walk them. The location is great for visiting the main Peak District attractions. We stayed 3 days and hiked Thor's Cave, Lud's Church and Mam Tor. All within a 20 minute drive. Good local pub food completed a very idyllic stay.

The cottage was very cosy and had everything we needed….although I couldn’t find a tin opener, but that may have been an oversight on my part! The owner was helpful and easy to contact.

The double beds were quite small. So I wouldn’t recommend this property for families with two teenage children as they have to share the second double bed

A lovely cottage with all that you need supplied by the owner. A very generous welcome pack with Milk, bread, butter, eggs and treats. There’s no restaurant/pub within a short/safe walk but Ashbourne is only a ten minute drive with plenty of establishments. The property is very clean and welcoming but a little on the small size for a family of four. It would be better in the warmer months as you could use the nice outside space

The property had great views with a nice private garden area. Plenty amenities close by. Outstandingly furnished with everything and more required utensils.

Lovely rural location, comfortable furnishings and beds, very well equipped kitchen, good outside space for eating/relaxing (weather permitting), safe fenced area for dog to run free. Unexpected extra - festive decorations and lights - a lovely touch for a pre-Christmas break.

The only thing to criticise about the property was that there was no bottle opener. Very minor.

Very nice place. Great value for money. Lots to do in area

Stayed in November 2023

Could do with a new mattress in one of the bedrooms as I felt like I was rolling down a hill! Otherwise all good!

Great location for Alton Towers and the surrounding area. Nice warm property with good facilities. Would be lovely to use the outside area in the Spring/Summer. Everything we needed, couldn’t really think of anything else that wasn’t included. Great value for money!

There was nothing to dislike, a beautiful barn conversion.

Very comfortable, clean and everything one needed , lovely Countryside views from the garden , the hamper awaiting after a long journey was a welcome gesture . Howard was very easy to get hold of, and responded to any questions I had promptly. Would definitely stay there again.

We loved everything! Very well equipped. The welcome hamper was a lovely surprise. Thank you! Situated in a beautiful area with lovely views. We loved the garden area, so we were able to enjoy sitting outside in the evenings. As advertised, it is very well situated for Alton Towers. We had an amazing stay and would definitely recommend staying here, we would love to return soon.

There wasn’t anything we didn’t like.

The location was stunning, relaxing and peaceful. The property was immaculate and very well presented. The property was cosy, attractive and well stocked for a holiday. We even had the most delightful welcome hamper which was beyond expectations.

Everything was perfect. I do not feel that there are any areas for improvement.

Orchard Barn is absolute perfection! The cottage is beautiful and welcoming and it is clear that Howard takes great pride in ensuring his guests have a comfortable and relaxing stay. The luxurious gift hamper added an extra thoughtful touch and made us all smile. The essential items that Howard also prepared for our arrival were a lovely surprise too. Howard considered our every need and these kind gestures made us feel very special and well taken care of. We stayed with our children, aged 15 years old and 13 years old, and the location is stunning. We will definitely return to Orchard Barn if our travels lead us in this direction in the future. A wonderfully peaceful place to be!
