There are lots of lovely walks and Carsington lake is a great long walk which wore our dogs out which is no mean feat. It is also very close to drive to. The barn was clean, the beds comfy and the living areas and kitchen were very goRead moreod also. I would definitely recommend it and would come back again Hide

Ideal location for a quiet family break. Cottage was well equipped to meet our needs and nice local friendly pub (The Miners Arms) just a short walk away.

This was our second stay at this lovely little cottage. It was lovely to find a handwritten note from the owners who realised that we had visited their cottage 2 years previously. The cottage is comfortable and has a log-burning stove which makes it feel very cosy when were there early in November. Brassington is a small, charming village with 2 niRead morece pubs. There is also great walking in the surrounding area and don't forget to visit Matlock Wells which is a very quirky place! Hide

We recently returned from a week at 1 The Barn. The property was a disappointment. On arrival it was not very clean, and had an overriding smell of dog. The kitchen cookware desperately needs replacing. The bathroom is tired, shabby and could do with replacing. The property advertises as suitable for 6 guests, however the lounge and kitchen are notRead more big enough, and there is only 1 bathroom. One positive...the beds were comfortable. In our opinion, this was not worth the high price! Hide

Lovely cottage and nicely placed with 2 dog friendly pubs which both did good food several days a week. Welcome pack of prosecco,biscuits,tea and sweets a nice touch. Very comfortable beds and high standard of furnishing.Enclosed garden is a suntrap with lovely furniture and the barbecue was a bonus. Be aware if dog owner that garden is higher thanRead more pavement so fencing not as high as it looks. Fine for our small and medium sized dogs. Great guide books too.Quick response to a query very pleasant Hide

Spent a lovely week here with my husband and dog. Found the cottage to be comfortable and well equipped. Friendly village with two good pubs and countryside walks from the door - a lovely location. We hope to come again.
