Had a fantastic holiday at the Old Haybarn. The cottage was extremely clean and well stocked with everything you needed.Our 20 month old grandaughter loved the outdoor space, which was totally fenced in, so very safe. Also the visits of the chickens and cockerel were very popular.

The Haybarn was a lovely place to stay,had everything you needed for a very comfortable holiday including the hot tub.Nearest pub (Holly Bush)was a 5 min car journey,we had a lovely meal there.Also went to Gorka Palace(Indian food)in nearby Tutbury.Bakewell was worth a visit and Uttoxeter to go to the cinema if you have a rainy day.We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 nights and wouldn’t hesitate to visit again.
