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.

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. Lovely walks even for those with some limitations. A great touring base. Although no obvious welcome pack actually lots was provided eg tea, coffee, sugar, milk, toilet roll, dish tabs , biscuits eRead moretc - seems trivial but meant we did not need to go shopping immediately Harrington is a good place to pick up essentials when you dont want to head to Bakewell. Clean and warm and comfortable. Hide

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

Nice cottage, nice village, pub excellent. It's a shame about the 9am finish on the last day - makes for a very hurried exit. An hour extra to have a leisurely breakfast would make an enormous difference to the end of a holiday

Wonderfully comfy, warm, spotless and really well equipped cottage in a beautiful village. Great walks and places to visit around the area. Our only criticism would be a 'Welcome Pack' that included bread would be a good idea, as there is no village shop.

Very well equipped property, super clean and great location for exploring the Peake District. Only a few minor gripes. Firstly having to strip the beds prior to leaving and putting sheets in a laundry bag - as cleaning is included in the price, why did we have to do that? The second minor issue is the heating - the heating setting was set too highRead more and timed for much longer than was necessary - this is very wasteful of energy. Finally, the sofas. They look as if they could do with being replaced. Not very comfortable and look a little shabby. These are minor points - we thoroughly enjoyed staying at the property and owuld be pleased to recommend it. Hide

Lovely cottage. Expensive. Lacked wood for lounge fire. No roasting tin. Twin bedroom had a "let light in" blind. Garden poorly maintained. Overgrown with weeds leaving no space for garden chairs around table. Ugly garden table and chairs. BUT MAIN ISSUE was boiler flue was at face height and pointing directly at our mouths as we sat there. Hence wRead moree could not sit there if boiler in use....anyone showering or washing dishes. Would be interested to know if this is within HEALTH & SAFETY GUIDLINES. But cottage was as described and we enjoyed it. Hide

The cottage was everything we could have wanted except for. 1.The bedroom blinds were very light with no other option to keep the room dark in early morning light. We used a travelling rug to cover it. 2. The boiler in the garden emitted very powerful and likely toxic fumes, smoke when "on". It made sitting out in the back garden very difficult. WeRead more turned all radiators and towel rails off to prevent the fumes. This would not prevent us booking the same cottage again. Hide
