It was very warm and comfortable, and the garden space, with chairs and both shelter and a sunny corner, was really nice. Our only issue was the automatic lights and fan noise when using the en-suite loos. This was rather disturbing for the other occupant of the room! However, it is obviously useful and saves lights being left on, so certainly not a big issue!

We usually struggle to find a suitable property for our family group, but Spingle Barn ticked all the boxes, and more â a rare find! Four large, cosy bedrooms, two of them easily accessible on the ground floor, and all en-suite, with an extra downstairs shower room too. A fantastic living space, and excellently equipped kitchen, and all spotlessly clean and tidy. The Sonos speaker and Echo Show were added bonuses! The separate games room, with its own log burner, is a great space to relax and unwind, and the outdoor space (although we didnât get to make much use of it in mid-March) is excellent. Spingle Barn is perfectly situated too â right at the head of Lathkill Dale, with plenty of great walks right from the doorstep, a fantastic pub and lovely coffee shop a 5 minute walk away in the village, and just a 10 minute drive into Bakewell. The owners were brilliant too, good communication and very accommodating. All in all, hugely recommended!

TV downstairs - no signal sometimes, other times worked okay. Don't know if it was something we did or not. Could do with instructions on TV and hobs. Not unusual, most places seem to assume you know how to work these things. Otherwise everything good (well no vodafone mobile signal, but not cottage fault).
