Barncroft Reviews

Miranda
This is a really lovely property in a stunning location.
A fantastic property perfect to bring 3 generations together to celebrate a 40th birthday. The views, high end appliances and location make Barncroft a property that we would definitely want to return to.
Keisha
This place was perfect in every way! So spacious, perfect lay out and so clean. We took our dog and he loved it especially laying in front of the fire place! Depending on your dog, you may have to keep them on the lead as theres no fencing or gating, and theres a huge field next to the property, but it wasnt an issue for us personally. The kitchen had everything we needed so were able to cook a full English breakfast & a Sunday roast! The rooms were so spacious and beds were so comfy! The location is perfect, less than a 5 minute walk to The Tansley pub serving the most delicious food and just a short drive into Matlock & Matlock Bath. We were also able to order a takeaway and have it delivered to us from China Rose, again would recommend! We immediately booked to go back next year during our stay, we all loved it that much! 1010!

Could not fault our stay, the lodge was immaculate and absolutely gorgeous! We will definitely be returning in the summer.
We had a wonderful few days at Barncroft. The cottage was amazing, finished to a very high standard super comfortable, well stocked and beautifully decorated a real home from home vibe. Location also perfect. No real negatives at all......below are just some thoughts we had during our stay that might help for future. We were a group of 6 women, so you may get a different perspective from other groups. 1. No scissors surprising how often you need them when there aren't any 2. We weren't sure whether we were expected to recycle? If any 'rules' guests should abide by, maybe mention in the welcome note. 3. We couldn't find the switches for the outside lighting 4. Advise guests where the Neff oven instructions are.....my friends had me to help as I have neff so no issues but others may not be familiar 5. Not sure if you need to have some kind of mat near the door that guests should use to protect the wooden flooring when coming in from the hot tub. We put towels down as we were worried the wood would warp. 6. Maybe consider plastic glasses for use round the hot tub and also for children in general. 7. Finally, and maybe an obvious one, but a note to request shoes off at the front door might be an idea to help protect the carpets. Overall 1010. Thank you to the owners for helping us make our New Year so memorable and hope to book again soon.
