Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
Clean and comfortable. We didn’t need anything that hadn’t been provided.

"We had an very enjoyable stay at Manor Barn Cottage."
On arrival it was lovely and warm, and clean. The decor and furniture was of a higher quality than we have had before in a rental property. The bed was also very comfortable with good quality linen. The kitchen was very well equipped, with everything we needed. We had no reason to change the heating settings on the radiators during our visit. The owners have made the cottage very homely, and comfortable.

"We had a wonderful stay, it's in the perfect location for exploring the peaks with footpaths just a short walk away."
The only downside was the cottage was a little chilly, but it is a stone building. Beds are comfortable plenty of hot water well equipped kitchen. Complementary bottle of wine was appreciated. As was a few apples my children picked from the garden for a crumble. The pub next door has amazing food too when we didn't feel like cooking and surprisingly we didn't hear anything even being so close. We would definitely stay again.

Great Longstone is a very pretty village with two very good pubs that do nice food. The Monsal trail can be accessed from the village and offers some beautiful walks. The cottage itself had everything we needed (there were 3 of us 2 adults and a 12 year old). The bathroom is modern and has a good walk in shower. The cottage is nicely decorated and well equipped. It was hot weather when we visited but the cottage stayed cool downstairs which was nice to come back to. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again we had a lovely holiday at Manor Barn Cottage.

"Were concerned when we found the cottage was directly behind a pub, but it was so very quiet, thankfully."
Direct contact from cleaning company and owner, including a courtesy check the first morning, were very useful, especially when we had a problem at the property. The owner dealt with it immediately and efficiently.
The cottage is comfortable and has everything you need. In our view it would be a bit of a squash with four adults. One chair and a sofa in the lounge and a rather small shower room.
We had a very enjoyable stay.

"A beautifully decorated, detached barn cottage located in the centre of a quiet village, with a large parking space for one car."
Even though it is situated behind the pub it is very quiet. The cottage is ideally placed for walks joining the Monsal Trail and the surrounding area. Communication from the owners was excellent and they did their very best to make sure everything was okay. The beds are very comfy and the rooms are large. The bathroom had a strong shower and looked modern. Our only negative was that the cottage did feel cold despite the warm weather and the owners putting on the radiators morning and evening (which you could override to manual) but once we got the hang of lighting the wood fire we were cosy. It was lovely and clean and even had communication from the cleaners which was unusual. Would I stay again? Yes if in the area.

Couldn’t have wished for a better place to stay in the Peak District. The cottage itself was so comfortable and the beds were super comfy. It was so peaceful and quiet sat in the garden listening to the birds singing . Very tranquil even though the cottage was situated next to a pub. The village of Great Longstone itself is a delight with two pubs but in close proximity to other great places to visit in the Peaks. We would definitely return if we are in the area and would definitely recommend to anybody wanting a peaceful holiday .

Where you’ll be staying
GREAT LONGSTONE
Bakewell 3.3 miles.
The pretty Derbyshire village of Great Longstone is situated in a wonderful location in the heart of the Peak District National Park. Great Longstone is nestled in an enviable position, flanked by Longstone Edge, with Bakewell and Chatsworth House close by. The village offers two traditional village pubs, a shop, 18th century stone cottages and a market cross that is situated on the delightful village green. The Monsal Trail runs through the village and provides eight and a half miles of scenic traffic-free walking and cycling, with the spectacular viaduct at nearby Monsal Head and several tunnels along the route to keep the whole family interested. Just down the road lies the picture postcard village of Ashford-in-the-Water, which boasts a medieval Sheepwash Bridge, once a major crossing point over the River Wye for packhorses delivering mail from Derby. The nearby, renowned market town of Bakewell, which can be accessed via the Monsal Trail, offers a variety of shops, restaurants and pubs, together with frequent local farmers' markets. Take a stroll along the river bank to feed the ducks and geese and see the ‘love locks’ on the foot bridge. The spa town of Buxton with its Opera House is also within driving distance. You could also visit the many stately homes including the iconic Chatsworth, Haddon Hall and Hardwick Hall, or take a trip to the World Heritage Site of the Richard Arkwright Mills in Cromford, all of which are within easy reach. With the impressive castle and caverns at Castleton close by, you'll be spoilt for choice at this fantastic location.
