This is a lovely cosy cottage with off road parking. Very clean and equipped with all the essentials. Ruth very obliging and met us once we had arrived. Heating programmer explained as we were there in winter period, and log burner,so not cold. Milk, wine, tea and coffee and flowers on arrival. The double beds are king size and comfortable. Very quiet even though a working farm. The Bear publick house has good ale and good food. Best to book for food and a quiz on Monday nights. It's left out of the gate but is a moderate climb if walking and is a mile and a half and will take about 30 minutes. Made very welcome. Denby pottery a short drive away with a farm shop just across. Wirksworth is a short drive, and has a good selection of local stores, and Walkers, the butcher's worth a visit. Although his shop lease is up at the end of January 2024 he is making alternative arrangements and not retiring he says when asked. Matlock a short drive away as is the town of Belper. Ruth very helpful and on hand should the need arise. All in all a great place to stay.

We had a much needed three night break. Despite the weather being dire, it was just what the doctor ordered. Comfortable and well-equipped. Ruth was very friendly and welcoming. Fruit, milk and wine left for us on arrival. In some self catering places you have to take your own tea towels and toilet rolls, not here. Plenty are supplied. The log burner made it like home from home. We had no problem turning the heating on or off according to the temperature. I didn't even miss having a dishwasher as we ate ready meals every night! Take your time on the narrow road, you will encounter tractors and possibly even an articulated lorry. Would definitely return.

Lovely cottage. It was a great base for us to explore the Peak District with our two kids, aged 6 and 8. There’s a decked area out the back which gets full sun in the morning and another seating area in the front which gets the sun in the afternoon. The cottage is on a working farm and we enjoyed sometimes looking out to see the cows and sheep looking in at us! Ruth was very friendly and helpful. The woods across the road are a lovely place for a local walk. Would definitely recommend.

Definitely :) stayed as two couples, a beautiful cottage well furnished, lovely comfortable beds high end bedding, lovely touch with the wine and fruit thank you, every thing you could possibly need for self catering WiFi and tv and CD player, the owners are lovely and helpful. Two seating areas outside with lovely views of the cows and sheep grazing, a games room however that could do with a sort out but not an issue, we had a game of pool and darts, two bedrooms one upstairs massive with room for a cot, the downstairs one next to the wet room could easily fit wheelchair in, shower curtain in wet room could do with changing however not an issue, towels are provided along with hairdryer, ironing board and fans if needed, washing machine, fridge with small freezer compartment but extra freezer in the games room, there is a wood burner and radiators set on a timer, the cottage was lovely warm and cosy. Great as a base for cyclists or like us with a car to explore the Peak District, excellent farm shop not far excellent quality meat and poultry fresh eggs. We had a meal at the Bulls head which is not far from the cottage, was lovely. We felt very comfortable and would definitely stay again. Thank you for making us feel so welcome

Mr Williamson, October 2019

It was an excellent expoerience with thanks to Mrs Spoendlove for making it so.. We were met with flowers, fruit, tea and coffee. The whole cottage was well appointed. It was spotlessly clean. I would recommend Fletcher's Barn without any hesitation. Excellent value for money

Pugh, September 2019

Fletchers Barn is a well looked after and clean cottage in a lovely setting.. This was our 2nd time here and it won't be our last!!!!Thanks again to Ruth for a wonderful holiday.

Well placed property, very close to the Peak District National Park, we were warmly welcomed by Ruth after booking at very short notice. A bottle of wine and milk was a lovely touch and much appreciated, as was the very comfortable, very well stocked accommodation. A huge double bed upstairs, with a second double bedroom downstairs, next to the wet room. Everything was provided, even the crockery matched! We found the attractive property very warm and comfortable. If the weather permits, there is a choice of two seating areas immediately outside, offering sun at all times of day and lovely views of the nearby fields where the cows graze. The games room is well provided with pool table and leaflets of the local area, including very useful maps. All in all, a wonderful stay in a place we felt lucky to discover. I’m sure we’ll be back.

On arrival we were met by Ruth who showed us round the cottage and was knowledgeable of events happening locally during our stay.. We had welcome gifts of fruit flowers and even a bottle of wine. The cottage itself was finished to the highest standard. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you would need. The living area was ample and completed with a wonderful wood burner. Both bedrooms were of a good size with comfortable beds. A spacious bathroom with walk in shower was again finished to the highest standard, with individual bath , hand towel and flannel for each member of the party. Having a bedroom, bathroom and living area on the ground floor makes this cottage accessible to all abilities. For the warmer weather there is even a bbq area set behind the cottages. A games room has a pool table, darts board, jigsaws and board games to keep everyone entertained and information leaflets of the local area. We would not hesitate to use Fletcher's Batn when visiting this area again.

This was my second visit to Fletchers Barn. It's set in a lovely rural location on a working farm, with plenty of walks, some straight from the front door, and is central to all attractions. The owner and her family are truly welcoming and always on hand if there are any problems. The Barn has everything you would ever need for a nice relaxing stay, and was clean and comfortable. I have recommended Fletchers Barn to all my friends and family and will always go back there for a lovely relaxing holiday.
