  Very comfortable thank you.

  Would return and would recommend. Great location for the southern Peak District. Kitchen has everything you need, main bed is super comfy, fast WiFi. No smart TV so take your own fire stick or similar. Kids loved the peacock which was always wandering around. Cleanliness is ok. Place heats up really quickly which is lovely after a cold Autumn walk. Listing needs updating to show bathroom is so much nicer. The bathroom has been updated and is a lovely shower room but listing shows bathroom before update. Shame to do the work and not show it off. Additionally our youngest kid is 4 so she can shower but if she was younger we would have wanted the bath which has been taken out and replaced with the shower. We would have wanted to know that ahead of the visit. The listing could also be more clear about the doors between sleeping areas. The listing says there are no doors but recent reviews say there are. There's a galleried landing above the lounge and there are doors on the bedrooms leading onto that landing. However there is another passage up and down a small flight of stairs which connects the bedrooms and there isn't a door on that due to the shape of the barn. No issue for our kids as they're 6 and 4 but if you had teenagers or two couples that would be an issue for privacy. There's a door between the lounge and hallway leading up to the bedrooms so adults can stay up late after the kids go to bed.

  Wonderful stay at Fletchers Barn.

  Spotlessly clean on arrival. We self catered for all our stay, kitchen fully equipped with everything you could possibly need for 4 people and of good quality. Beds are huge and so comfortable with mattresses and pillow protectors and lovely bedding. Very warm and cosy and easy to boost heating if needed, alongside a lovely log burner. Constant hot water again easy to boost if needed. Fantastic wet room, very clean and excellent pressure from shower, handy grab rail. Great parking outside front door. This property is ideal for anyone with reduced mobility, downstairs king sized bedroom, no raised thresholds inside, ramp to front door, grab rail in shower. Property is very well maintained. Ruth the owner is a fantastic host and a lovely person who lives onsite and obviously cares so much about her guests comfort and enjoyment , she ensures everything is OK, is there if needed but leaves guests to enjoy the break. We would highly recommend this property and hope to return soon. Thank you Ruth for making us so welcome and accommodating us last minute.

  The cottage had good crockery and the beds were comfortable, but that's all you can say about this cottage.

  The bad points are listed below. The property had not be cleaned properly. The oven was dirty the grill pan was so greasy it could not be used. The pots and pans need replacing now. The washing machine powder compartment was full of old powder and water, so again could not be used The water pump noise ( which was not listed ) kept you awake every time you run the tap or flushed the toilet, so much so you could not sleep in the upstairs bedroom were the pump is. The shower hot and cold tap was very hard to turn, a disabled person would have had a problem with this, so we would not recommend this cottage for a disabled person and should be highlighted in the property details. The shaver wall socket did not work. We have stayed in many Skye's properties before, some very good others not so, but this is the worse property so much so it spoiled our holiday and we would think again before hiring another property from Skye's Holiday cottages.

  Fantastic stay!

  ! We booked both number 3 and number 4 for a family Christmas break. Both properties were absolutely spotless. Both were lovely and warm and had constant hot water. Property in excellent condition overall, the walls are very thick with no sound from the adjoining property. All the beds are huge and so comfortable. The shower in number 4 is now a walk in shower recently installed to replace the bath and overhead shower, a lovely addition. Fantastically equipped kitchen with everything you could possibly need. Very comfortable suite with reclining chair. Parking is excellent directly outside the property. A special thank you to Sue and Phil who were excellent hosts , there if needed, discreetly allowing you space to enjoy the break. Would highly recommend. NOTE do not follow directions from Sykes it will send you to an alternative property with the same name, use the postcode and Google maps.

  We stayed at Fletcher’s Barn in November as part of my friend’s 60th birthday celebrations.

  We loved everything about it and have already recommended it to friends if they are considering a holiday in Derbyshire. Picturesque and traditional, but with modern conveniences, it was warm and cosy (important in November!) and made a great base for exploring the area. It’s in a rural setting on a working farm and only a few miles from shops. Since starting to holiday in the UK since Covid put a hold on going abroad, we’ve stayed in quite a few cottages and this is certainly one of the nicest. An excellent feature and a big selling point for us was the option to have both bedrooms set up as either king size or twin, something more places should consider. The owner was friendly and helpful and the welcome bottle of wine was most appreciated. We have no hesitation in recommending Fletcher’s Barn and would return if holidaying in the area again.
