Confirmed Guest
Our family had a really comfortable stay at Tawny Barn. We enjoyed cooking from scratch in the great kitchen, and slept like logs in the comfortable beds. Enjoyed beautiful sunsets. Visited various places of interest within about 20 miles, where we were also able to go on walks. Hannah (owner) lived on the farm and was lovely to chat to. Would recommend this accommodation.

Excellent cottage, Hannah is an amazing host. Plenty of space for everyone in our party (8 people and 2 dogs). Many walks from the cottage doorstep in the local area from a short walk to Longnor through to 10-15 mile walks. Overall we highly recommend Tawny Barn to anyone considering staying here!

We loved this spacious, newly appointed barn conversion right in the middle of an idyllic Southern Peak District farm. We appreciated the peaceful views across rolling fields of grazing cows and walking routes right on the doorstep. We had long, restful sleeps due to the comfortable beds, fresh air, good food and tranquility.
