One of the most relaxing holidays we have had for a long time. Excellent accommodation, very clean and tidy and friendly hosts.We were given a tour of the farm which the kids loved. Lots of nice villages and farm cafes nearby, as well as bigger things within a reasonable driving distance - Peak District, Chatsworth House, Alton Towers.

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.
