  Flat was cozy , warm and spacious.

  Village is pretty with a little river running across it. Church bells go every 30minutes but it didn’t bother us. Sadly , village seemed to have been deserted. It was supposed to be lively with shops , tearooms , pubs … however the shops and tearooms were either closed or “for sale” . Pub opposite flat didn’t serve food and looked very uninviting for families. It didn’t matter to us as we were out and about all day and then cooking at the flat . There were some housekeeping issues that if addressed would make place nicer . Front door lock is temperamental as well as the hot water taps . Bath taps are loose as well as the work top behind kitchen sink. There were only 3 forks available for a place that caters for 4 people . It would have been useful to have serving spoons and serving dishes, colander , potato masher , bread knife , jug . It was a nice surprise to find dog bowls in the kitchen and a couple of games inside the ottoman pouffe in the living room. It would be nice to have blackout blinds as very bright in the morning. There is no loo brush . There are 15 bright spotlights on the living room ceiling . It would be nice if they were dimmable. Bedding could be of a better quality. Mattresses and pillows are overdue replacement in our opinion… we could feel some of the springs from mattresses… however we all slept well after long days out and about . It was very nice to get back in the warmth of the flat at the end of day . Not possible to have a bath though, as hot water kept running cold on and off … so pointless. Shower head was a pain … not much water coming out … no water pressure .. Extract fan in bathroom hasn’t been dusted in a long while . The area outside flat could do with some cleaning and tidying up. Someone left a pile of cigarette buds on the floor by the front door. As a dog walker who always clean up after my dog , I was disgusted to come across a lot of dog mess around the village , left behind by lazy people . Despite the points raised above , we had a lovely stay at Howard’s hideaway …but with some TLC it could be much better.

  Sheldon Barn was everything we hoped for after seeing the photos and description of the property. It was extremely comfortable for us as two couples with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed and the home made welcome pack of bread, delicious jam and cakes along with the tea, coffee, sugar and milk was very welcome and enjoyable. The lockable bike storage shed was important to us to keep our 4 e-bikes secure. The location is perfect to access the main cycle routes in this part of the Peak District and the helpful owners were on hand to make route suggestions if required although never intrusive. Sheldon Barn and the owners gave us a very enjoyable stay and we would definitely recommend. We were even blessed with dry and warm weather.

  Pictures do not do this apartment justice!

  . More spacious than we expected. Lovely wooden worktops and range cooker. Only 2 things I think to add ….. A nice big clock would have suited kitchen rather than the picture up and a bigger wardrobe in the adults bedroom. The apartment is suited for 2 adults 2 children. I would not say the beds are sturdy enough for adults. Apartment hosts were great at communication and couldn’t fault them, especially when we needed them to assist us. Do take an extra tea towel/ sponge and toilet roll as we shopped at Morrison’s. Lovely to eat in and relax in the apartment. Lovely books and lovely walks for the family. Would recommend Tissington trail and snake path trail. Would def recommend this lovely airy apartment.

  Sheldon Barn is a good base to travel to all parts of the Peak District easily and plenty of nice pubs with good food minutes drive away too. Has all you would need for a good stay with a well stocked kitchen and good living space and comfortable bedrooms. Lovely home made goodies etc in a welcome pack and oodles of helpful information on whole area. Bathrooms/well showers mainly, were a little troublesome but hopefully may be remedied by owners? Great pub a few mins walk away at end of the village The Bulls Head (huge portions lol) and great cafe next to it where we had breakfast on check out day. A nice quiet spot to stay!

  The apartment was far bigger than expected, lovely large rooms and beautifully opened planned.

  Lovely kitchen and eating area. Living room had huge window which was lovely to sit next to watch the world go by. So peaceful and quiet. Could hear owls at night. Perfect. Again bedroom large and spacious but needs new mattress, although I did sleep quite well. Phoenix Mill in the most idyllic of spots. Perfect for many walks on the doorstep without the car and within twenty minutes drive to the most special areas that the peaks has to offer. Perfect for me and my beagle, amazing walks literally two seconds from front door. Had a fabulous week.
