It is centrally located in the Peaks with just a short drive to all of the attractions.Will definitely be returning to enjoy the Barn & the Peaks again in the near future.

We had the best week in Chinley! We loved the location with lots of local walks from your doorstep. We had a warm welcome from The Old Hall Inn and The Paper Mill staff. The cottage is lovely and comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked with equipment. It is a great location to go and explore The Peak District from. We were warmly welcomed by the owner and the dogs had a great week! We will definitely come back.
