This is a lovely cottage in a prime spot for hiking. If you are hiking, note that it is up a steep hill, but if you are going to the peaks, you should expect that! Thoroughly recommend.

My family booked both cottages (Upper Barn and Lower Barn) and had a great time. The surroundings are beautiful and perfect for dog walks - not far from places like Bakewell and Chatsworth House. We had everything we needed in our cosy cottage and was the perfect retreat after a day out.

Lovely cottage, great location. It would have been even better if the small courtyard was secure to enable the dog to go outside without a lead but that is only an observation we really enjoyed our stay

Excellent cottage with everything we required for our short stay whilst visiting Chatsworth and Bakewell. Just one thing that we had a problem with, the sloping ceiling upstairs, be careful of banging your head. LOL.

What a great place Booked late and this was in a great location at a good price Lower barn has all the facilities you could need and is very clean and tidy. I felt the pictures on the site made it feel remote but nothing could be further from the truth. Having said that it's a quiet location. I'd thoroughly recommend lower barn

We have just spent a lovely few days at upper barn cottage at Curbar. What a beautiful little dog friendly cottage. Absolutely spotlessly clean when we got there with everything we could need or want for a comfortable stay. Small and compact but perfect for a couple and a dog. We loved the basket with the dog blankets provided, we thought that was Read moresuch a lovely touch. Although the cottage is compact the kitchen is well equipped and the en-suite bathroom next to the bedroom is large. Perfect Hide

We had a lovely time at the lower barn. My husband and I, as well as our dog, had a great time exploring the surrounding area. There is a great circular walk right next to the cottage that was perfect. Phil was prompt with his help telling us where we could park. It's not complicated just our brains weren't working after a day of driving! Gave 5 stRead morears as we had a lovely time, my only suggestion for improvement would be a hose for helping clean up a muddy dog after a day exploring. Thanks again! Hide
