Overview
Property code: OC-DCMON

The Barn in Monyash is an absolutely wonderful cottage full of style, character and luxurious furniture and decor. Its spacious lounge, dining room, ultra modern kitchen and bathrooms and four lovely bedrooms makes this a very popular holiday retreat. What tops it all is its picturesque village location surrounded by beautiful Peak District countryside stretching as far as the eye can see!

Sit in the rear garden with your breakfast as Monyash comes awake. Have a wander round the village mere before lunch  There are lots and lots of attractions to fill every afternoon but do get back in time for a meal in the local pub! 

Bakewell, just a few minutes' drive away, is surrounded by brilliant holiday attractions.  Take the kids to Chatsworth with its fantastic adventure playground. Wander around tranquil Haddon Hall or marvel at the craft skills in Caudwell's Mill Craft Centre.

Great cottage in the heart of Monyash with a lovely modern bathroom upstairs. Location is on the main road and when the motorcade of motorcycles arrive and depart it can be very noisy throughout the day, but returns to a peaceful village location after 5pm when the popular cafe closes.

We were delighted with this cottage. It was very spacious but cosy. It was very well equipped and I would highly recommend it for adults and family groups as well. The local pub was child friendly and there was a park within a few metres of the cottage. Great property.

We were able to spend a wonderful week at "The Barn" in Monyash. Weather permitting, you can spend time outdoors in a relaxed atmosphere. It was rather rainy and cool during our stay, but the house is so generously furnished that it's also very cozy inside. The living room, the dining area and the kitchen are spacious. The house is clean and very wRead moreell equipped with everything you need. Since the frying pans and oven trays rarely satisfy us (however, it is mainly the tenants who dont use the pans properly!) we each make do with our own. Since the central heating wasn't working yet, we were very grateful for the portable heaters. The parking problem mentioned in an other report did not apply to us. We were able to drive in and out without problems. We say thank you for the kind hospitality. We can recommend "The Barn" without hesitation. Hide

Lovely clean cottage, in a fab location. Well contained garden for the children, and a stones throw from friendly local pub and tea rooms (we got food from each and no complaints). Managed to get hold of Steph very quickly when we arrived to locate cot/high chair under the beds and she was very helpful. Due to location, it does get very busy arouRead morend the pub and roads, we had some issues not being able to get out of the driveway due to bikes and cars parking inconsiderately. We then used one of our cars to block the driveway on the road so we could come and go freely, and were met with very unhappy neighbours - we explained why we done this and wasn't blocking anyone else to come and go, only blocking access to the drive we were using, however we were sworn and aggressively spoken to on a number of occasions, and at it did damper the holiday.
