Overview
Property code: OC-DCHILL

Hillcrest Barn is an amazing cottage. Quality furnishings and decor, great use of colours and textures and fantastic attention to detail set it far apart from other holiday accommodation. This is a really classy barn conversion in the heart of picturesque Monyash with its attractive mere, local tea rooms and friendly village pub all just a stone's throw from the cottage.

As you drive over the hills from Bakewell, the view of the village is one of the most wonderful in Derbyshire. Set in a fold of Peak District hills there are walks galore through incredible scenery - by the sparkling river down beautiful Lathkill Dale or in the total tranquillity of Water-cum-Jolly Dale. 

A multitude of other holiday attractions are also within easy reach. Local to Monyash, how about pedalling along the High Peak Trail or visiting Hartington's famous cheese shop. Chatsworth House, Castleton's Caverns, Bolsover's Castle, Matlock's cable cars and even Alton Towers are other names to mention in your messages back home.

Very comfortable cottage. Very friendly pub. Despite Moneyash being a meeting point for bikers it is not a noisy village. Nor are bikers a problem on local roads. We were very positively surprised at this.

Well equipped, a few tweaks to make it even more comfortable. Good social space. Whilst the twin rooms are a little cosy it is outweighed by having all bedrooms en-suite plus a downstairs cloakroom. The only downside for us was the 9 oclock departure as our average age was 75 and we had a few challenges! The local pub less than a minute away serveRead mores good food but their portions are huge. They get busy so good to know they do takeout. The cottage is central for visiting the area with many places not too far away, for instance Bakewell is a 10 minute drive. For a family group or a group of friends it is a welcoming home but for our group we would not book again because of the departure time. Hide

Disappointed by Early check out:- The cottage was lovely-nice & clean, comfy, had everything we needed, and the location was perfect. The only real downside was the 9am checkout. It felt a bit too early, especially when most places let you stay until 10am. We ended up rushing around, didnt have time for breakfast or a proper lie-in, and it justRead more took the shine off the last morning. Its a shame, because otherwise it was a great stay. If the checkout time was a bit later, wed definitely consider coming back. Hide

We will happily stay again. Villagers welcoming including at the pub. House very comfortable. Easy parking for SUV and day visitors found spaces easily.

This is an excellent holiday cottage. It is exceptionally clean and comfortable and really does feel like home from home. All 3 bedrooms are all of a good size and have enquires and as a bonus there is a really useful utility room with washing machine and tumble drier. The location in Monyash is fabulous for walking and is so near Buxton, BakewellRead more and Ashbourne. There is a fantastic pub as well as a cafe in the village - both are closed on Mondays. Just be aware that there is no Vodafone signal available in the village but there is good free WiFi in the cottage. Hide
