  We had a lovely stay fantastic view from the kitchen and court yard.

  We did note the water when running in kitchen was I believe to have an air lock as it bumbled throughout the Barn when water used, bedrooms very clean as well as the beds, the first bedroom was very tight for space and would be better to have a single bed. The en suite toilet seat was loose, bathroom could do with de- moulding around shower door and tiles on bath. There were a lot of cobweb webs which have been there a long while in dining area toward kitchen on beam and on stair well window I do have photos if required, Candles look alike need to have new batteries and on outside fairy lights.The Barn information sheet should be left in the Barn as not many people will print off a hard copy ( I left mine for the next group). The most noticeable problem was the access to the Barn I appreciate this is the nature of the build but instead of building a new patio area I feel a new parking area closer to the office (old diary) would be more practicable as it is a long steep hill back and forth with luggage, you are defiantly fit after the stay!! While a few highlighted mentions I would go back and thank you for the welcome pack it was most appreciated and a lovely gesture.

  Lovely little cottage with lots of potential.

  A few minor issues but worth noting. The soap dispenser in the bathroom was empty so we had to buy our own hand soap not a major issue but I would expect it to be available for us. There was no toilet brush or shower curtain. No washing up sponges provided in the kitchen, just a flannel which wasn't ideal. Appreciate the cottage is old but there are a lot of cobwebs that have blatantly been there for a while and could be dealt with a duster, just makes the place look a little unkempt. Someone's old contact lenses were left on the bedside table which wasn't nice either. Seems there is a lack of attention to detail here compared to other cottages we have stayed at for a similar price. The host did leave us some milk and biscuits which was lovely. It would be good for future guest for the kitchen to have some oil, tin foil, kitchen roll etc. Again something we have had in other stays for a similar price. Overall a pleasant stay, lovely cottage just needs some tweaks from the hosts and it could be amazing.

  Broadwood Barn is beautiful, well equipped and comfortable.

  Downstairs is very spacious and the outside area fabulous for children to play and potter around on ride on trikes. Calves came up to the window at the rear of the living room and peered in much to the delight of our grandchildren. It is important to know that anyone with mobility problems would find the path down to the barn very difficult and toddlers would have a problem. Just getting our luggage and shopping up and down was a major issue. Fortunately we had 2 large and fit sons on hand to help. I booked the barn and farm for a family get together. We are a fit 65+ Couple with no health issues so disregarded the warning about the path. Do so at your peril! Finally bring earplugs. The trains sound their horns as they approach the crossing at the bottom of the field. It was very warm during our stay and we kept windows open. Even with them closed we were disturbed at 4am.

  We enjoyed our stay at Broadwood Barn.

  However there are a few issues. It cannot be underestimated the path from the car down to the barn as has been said in previous postings. It is long and steep and as we were battling illness this week, we found transporting our luggage exhausting. Even fit and healthy people would find this a challenge. There are a few things needed in the barn such as more mugs. There are only 6. No cups or anything else. The sink could do with a bowl. The mattress in the main bedroom is very soft. Not good if you have a bad back. The other two bedrooms are bland and lack storage and bedside tables. The views from the outer parts of the property are outstanding. There are no views from the inner parts of the property and only from the kitchen window. However, we did enjoy our stay at the barn and the beautiful Peak District.

  This property is in an outstanding location.

  Stunning views and accessible to so many towns and villages and lovely walks. The sofas were comfy as was the main bedroom bed. Cows arrived every evening at the lounge window and were lovely. The property is down a steep track which would be a challenge for older people or pushchairs. The property could do with a bit of tlc we felt .. peeling paint outside, and dirty windows gave it a bit of a tired feel. The pots and pans needed a good wash before we used them and there were dog hairs in the oven. We spent a while cleaning cobwebs from every room. We noticed that this had been commented on previously. Bedroom two and three .. beds .. one had broken slats and one squeaked badly. With a bit of care and attention to details this could be a really stunning place.
