We had a lovely time at Marl barn. It was very comfortable and warm with everything we needed (apart from a teapot and a dish drainer!) The barn was very clean and tastefully designed and decorated. Plenty of secure parking space. Loved seeing the farm animals close up. Safe for children but it is on a main road so quite noisy with passing traffic.There is no where to walk to directly from the barn so a car is required. Lots of beautiful places to visit near by such as Sett valley, Millenium walkway, monsal trail, heights of Abraham, Buxton, bakewell, Hathersage swimming pool, Castleton etc Thanks for a great time.
