    We were incredibly lucky to have booked The Old Barn. Myself, my wife, our friends, were visiting the Opera house, just 10 minutes away. Such beautiful tranquil surroundings, fantastic spacious comfortable homely impeccably clean rooms, everything finished to such a high standard. delicious breakfast with everything on offer you could ever wish for. The hosts were so kind, so friendly, so welcoming, I can’t emphasise how lovely they were and how they made our stay such an enjoyable and comfortable one. Absolutely terrific value all round also. We’ve stayed in more places than I can remember and I can honestly say this is one of the nicest places. Thank you immeasurably 🙂👍

    That are holiday ended, neither of us wanted to leave

    Such a peaceful and revitalising stay at The Old Barn. The secluded location only 10-15 minutes from Buxton was wonderful. Our room was comfortable and warm, with plenty of storage, a little tea and coffee tray (with some lovely cookies) and a nice en suite. The cooked breakfast was amazing and fresh, the eggs were so golden and the sausages tasted great. Accompanied with a great selection of fruit, cerals, juice and tea and coffee. Would highly recommend staying at The Old Barn.

    Marvellous accommodation in a very peaceful spot some miles away from Buxton. Great breakfast with buffet. Fresh fruits and vegan options (we have informed them before). Lovely hosts. We got recommendations what to see and where to eat. We spent just 2 days, we wished, we could have spent there more time.

    Fantastic converted barn building in a peaceful hamlet but just ten minutes drive into Buxton, or five minutes to the popular High Peak Bookstore & café. Lynn and Pete are very welcoming hosts and the rooms are spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable. The breakfast is generous and delicious. They will also accommodate any dietary requests you have. Highly recommend a stay in this historic building and beautiful hamlet.
