The hayloft is more spacious than you might think from the pictures.. It was spotlessly clean throughout and equipped with everything we needed. Very warm and cosy. In a beautiful part of the country - lots of places to visit within easy reach.

Although it supplies a cot on the listing ,the cot doesn’t include a mattress which cost me a trip to Manchester to get one after a rough first night so bring your own travel cot and mattress or speak to the owner to see if they have acquired one since.. Apart from that the hayloft is spot on. The location is in a quiet and beautiful setting close to a Morrison’s for supplies and is very dog friendly, I will definitely be returning.

Beautiful comfortable and so relaxed.. Secluded yet so much beauty on your doorstep. Take a walk up the footpath to a lovely pub and wonderful views. Will definitely be booking again and again.

Perfect holiday cottage.. Perfect location. Felt like home straight away, owners are lovely. Pictures do not do this place justice, it's so big inside. Will definitely be visiting again!

WOW, the photos really don’t do The Hayloft any justice - its huge ! Mark, the owner, was really helpful both in the days before we arrived and once we got there. Let us settle in, then came and checked that all was ok, had we found everything etc. The property is very large, it is after-all a converted hayloft, but the sense of space hits you as you walk in. All the rooms are very spacious, even the two en-suites. Having a bath as well as a 2 showers was luxury after a day on the peaks. The decor is very fitting for the building, lots of bare wood and stonework. The furniture matches the style, large plain wood pieces that just look like they belong there. The kitchen had all we needed, the icebox on the fridge is standard size, but with Morrisons only 5 minutes away it didn’t matter. The electric cooker is a range style, with plenty of hobs as well as a warming drawer. Yes, it is a converted hayloft, there are a few cobwebs up in the rafters, you do find insects outside, you can hear the sheep in the fields, the lanes are narrow, but thats some of the many reason why this place is so great - its not a hotel, its a place to have a great holiday and make memories. Not to mention ‘Poppy’ the sheepdog, whom our son wanted to try and sneak home with us....... A few older reviews had mentioned about lack of cleanliness, we didn’t find this at all. Everywhere was very clean and tidy on arrival. We spoke to the owners about this, and they told us that they had changed cleaners a while ago. Nothing to worry about. We had a superb time and would love to return again.

Good points: the Hayloft is comfortable, very spacious and well-heated.. The en suite bathrooms worked well in general (but see below for some problems) and the kitchen is efficient. As we experienced it, it is a peaceful place to stay. Since we there at Christmas-time, we had no opportunity to use the garden space, so can't comment on that. Not so good: the smaller, twin-bed bedroom has no wardrobe, or any other way to hang up clothes. The bathroom for the larger bedroom was poorly lit, because the light over the mirror wasn't working, so shaving was a tricky business. Only one of the bathrooms was equipped with a toilet brush. In the kitchen, a lack of light over the stove made cooking more difficult than it needed to be, and we found no dustpan and brush, so cleaning up after ourselves was difficult. Overall, though, the good points easily outweighed the negatives: this is a very comfortable place to stay, and we enjoyed ourselves. Finding the track that leads to the property proved difficult in the dark, but the owner was patient and helpful, providing guidance over the phone.

The property was spotlessly clean, warm and had everything we needed for a lovely few days.. Really good location, quiet but close to amenities and tourist attractions. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely accommodation in a lovely setting.. Would re-equip the kitchen but otherwise everything was perfect. Lots of space an very clean. Second time we have stayed here and would happily return again.
Mr Betts, December 2019

This is a warm and spacious barn conversion type property set in a farm environment.. Overall it was a good experience, but there were a few disappointments. Whilst some areas were clean (bathrooms), the floors were swept but grubby. We had to wait 15 minutes after entry time and cleaners were rushing to leave. Drawers and cupboards, particularly in the kitchen, have grit/hair residue. One particularly deeply buttoned chair was so grubby we unfolded throws to cover it so we felt comfortable to use it, but the throws had quite a bit of dog hair on them! Curtains are hanging droopily in places. Kitchen/cooking equipment is minimal. Fine for us as just a long weekend and we ate out. But if you’re a family of 4 planning on comprehensive self catering it might be tricky. The fridge is very small and a Christmas roast wouldn’t be viable. Mugs and plates are chipped/worn. We couldn’t find any trays. The nature of the building means natural light is slightly limited, which wouldn’t be a problem if artificial lighting compensated. Lighting is dim. Probably this is less noticeable in summer than it was in November. There is a chest of drawers in the twin room, however no wardrobe. It is very warm and there is lots of space. Logs were provided for the woodburner which worked really well. There is a warm boiler room for drying coats and boots which was useful. The beds are very comfortable, the bathrooms very attractive and luxurious and there’s a nice big dining table; great for board games and spreading your maps out. The TV provision is great with a good selection of blue ray/DVDs. Our impression is the original conversion and set up was high end and polished. The ongoing maintenance of this seems to be not quite as strong which is a shame as it wouldn’t take much effort or expense to bring it back up, just a bit of care and attention to detail.

Fabulous accommodation pictures on the app doesn’t do it justice.. The views are spectacular. Only disappointment was that the bath is lovely but there wasn’t enough hot water to fill it, on the up side the showers made up for it. I would highly recommend thus property
Mrs Epsom

Loved the character of this place! And my word the bed was so comfy.. I'd definitely go away again here.

Great location, lovely conversion, very helpful owner
Mrs Chadwick

Lovely cottage, bit chilly first evening but then it was lovely.. Would recommend the cottage but the cleaning needs more attention to detail. Beautiful views, quiet and relaxing. A welcome pack would have been good as a drive to shops for milk after a 5 hour drive was disappointing. All in all lovely break.

This is lovely spacious accommodation in a beautiful setting.. There is some truly outstanding scenery in the area -great walks, drives and interesting places to visit - and the Hayloft is very well located to get around. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Nice to have walks from the door for the dogs and because I was working in Manchester for some of the time it as great to have two train stations close by with regular reliable services. I would happily return.

We arrived early and was meet by the owner of the cottage who made us very welcome, We could not ask for a better well presented cottage with excellent well equipped facilities.. The beautiful scenery and the surrounding areas were outstanding. We will certainly be re-booking to go back in the future.

The pictures do not do this place justice.. It was the most beautiful place I’ve seen in a long time. The owner was so helpful yet didn’t get in our way. Will definitely be staying here lots in the future.

We stayed here last week, me and my son and my mum and dad with our 2 puppies.. We had a great time and the Hayloft was lovely throughout. The owner was helpful when needed and we would highly recommend. We hope to return.

The Hayloft is a beautiful cottage, set in picturesque countryside, very well situated for visiting the Peak District.. We enjoyed a fantastic week of walking and relaxing in this idillic countryside. The only complaint was that as the property was listed as 5* I would have expected it to have been freshly cleaned as I assume this is reflected in the cost of stay. On arrival the property was very dusty, all hard surfaces had a layer of dusty dirt, this was in bedrooms, bathrooms, the bath was dusty and had a bird feather in it, the top of the range cooker was dusty, the dinning room table and coffee table the same. This was very disappointing and I contacted the owner regarding the condition as I felt we should have been arriving at a clean property, also there was mouldy bread and rancid butter left in a cupboard by previous guests, again I feel we are paying for the property to have been clean and checked before our arrival. It was a disappointing first impression as the cottage in all other areas ticks every other box. It certainly wasn't 5*cleaning!

We had a wonderful time at The Hayloft! It is a fantastic property, and matched my (very high) expectations. The décor is very nice. The property is spacious and really comfortable. We were very impressed with the location of the property. It was very beautiful, with lovely walks in the immediate vicinity, and easy access to pubs and restaurants in the area. It is also a very short drive to a huge variety of attractions, both rural and city-based. Everything else was brilliant.
