The Old Cowsheds Reviews

What a fantastic stay we have had at The Old Cow Sheds holiday cottage. The location was stunning we were surrounded by nature and it was great to wake up to see lamas, geese and ponies and sit in the hot tub taking in the views. The cottages had everything we needed cooker, coffee maker, fridge, freezer and were extremely clean. The beds were very comfy and there was plenty of space for a party of eleven guest and 2 dogs. The cottages are well placed for walks in the Peak District, we walked for a pint at Youlgreave about 3 miles away but was also close to Matlock where we went out for cocktails and a meal. Steve the host was brilliant and recommended place to go for dinner, taxi firms and was just a text away if we needed anything. I would highly recommend The Old Cow Sheds, I can't wait to go back!

Philip

Lovely conversion of old farm buildings into a modern holiday home with everything of good quality and spotlessly clean. Steve is a great host, being helpful and informative, but in no way intrusive. The outside space is great too with a large hot tub and covered patio which beautifully captures the evening sun. Its also a wonderful place for pets and children, being safely fenced, yet with alpacas, chickens, ducks and horses being right outside. Highly recommended.

Christine

We really enjoyed our stay. There was everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. The cottages are very comfortable and well planned and the kitchens are very well equipped. The countryside is beautiful. We didnt know there was a trampoline, tree house and swings for the children so that was a lovely surprise.

Lovely location and accommodation. The animals were an added bonus. The hot tub was lovely and relaxing and house had everything we needed for the perfect holiday. Host Steve gave lots of helpful advice on places to eat and visit 1010 Thanks Sue, Ron and family x

Katherine

Lovely accommodation with an outstanding garden we absolutely loved the outdoor covered area, the hot tub and the location. Stunning! Really friendly owners who were on hand if we needed them but gave us our space too. The cowsheds themselves are beautifully decorated, well stocked and very comfortable . Having two linked accommodations worked really well for us as two families wanting to holiday together but have our own spaces. We all loved being so close to a range of animals horses, chickens and alpacas. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you Steve and Zoe.

Lovely spacious dual properties in adorable farm yard location with ducks, alpacas, horses and chickens around. Clean and well equipped.

We didnt want to leave! A beautiful clean property with everything we needed in the most amazing location. I loved waking up to the sound of sheep and watching the horses trotting around the fields. The host Steve was friendly and chatty and made us feel welcome. Would love to return one day soon!

Jennifer

A delightful venue for our family celebration. Situated in a beautiful setting surrounded by horses, alpacas, chickens and a visiting peacock. Steve was an excellent host and offered plenty of advice on the local area and it's amenities. All we lacked was decent weather!! The property would perhaps benefit from an information file containing suggestions for a few local eateries, walks and places to visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with 6 adults and 3 children ranging from 80 to 3 years old.

Both cowshed properties together with the surrounding patios and paddocks provided lots of room and comfort for 7 adults, 3 children under 5 and a dog. Add the location and owners, Zoe and Steve and their family and animals horsesponies, alpacas, chickens, ducklings and a dog and it was a great experience that we all enjoyed. With Bakewell, MatlockMatlock Bath and Chatsworth, amongst other places in Peak District close by it made for a great week.

The property was lovely! Overall appearance was great and the surroundings were beautiful. Owner was very polite and welcoming. Hot tub was clean and spacious, the outside area for seating was comfortable with the addition of a heater! Beds were comfortable and clean, enough storage too. Tea, coffee and sugar were provided. However we did notice that the underneath of the mat in Steves cow shed had not been cleaned properly, it smelt of sour milk. We did lift the mat and clean the area when we were leaving. The bathroom wasnt overly clean in some areas, quite dusty and the top of the extractor fan was dusty too. This didnt ruin the stay but we did expect it to be spotless for the price. With this in mind it wouldnt stop us from returning! Just feel as though this can be passed onto the cleaner

We loved our stay. Both cottages were immaculate and had everything we needed. Loved all the little touches , nice sofa blankets, loads of hot tub towels and a good range of glasses for our fave drinks! Hot tub was amazing. Couldnt have been better .

Bernadette

Great place to stay and chill out, hot tub was a hit after some lovely walks. Owner very helpful and welcoming. Horses, alpacas, chickens nearby a great hit with the kids.

Richard

We had a lovely time at The Old Cowsheds. Zoe and Steve were very friendly and helpful. The property is wellequipped and located close to lots of interesting places eg Chatsworth, Heights of Abraham, Thornbridge Hall. It's also a great place to access footpaths and quiet roads for walking.

Absolutely fantastic mini break for our family. The host was welcoming and generous, the property was clean and well equipped and the location was stunning. Would definitely recommend.

What a great location. Nice and quiet for a relaxing weekend. The owner was very helpful with his recommendation's. Immaculate inside and out. Would not hesitate for a return stay, only longer next time. We were a party of ten and everyone had the same opinion. Many Thanks. Wayne

Rheema

This is a wonderful property fully equipped with everything you would need for a gathering away. We were a party of 9 with a dog and found the space comfortable and relaxing. The surrounding farm and animals were a joy to watch each morning. The setup if fabulous with the ability to all be together or be off by yourself for a bit. Little touches like the hot tub towels really made life easy so much appreciated. The local walks were also great with very little traffic. Having a 5 year old with lots of energy we felt extremely safe both at the cow sheds and when out and about. We would highly recommend this property and look forward to returning soon

The properties were immaculate, spacious and comfortable. Unfortunately, the tv in Steve's cowshed had alot of interference. In Zoe's cowshed as it was very windy due to the storm the door was very drafty. Steve and Zoe were very helpful and friendly and when we were a little lost Steve gave us fresh directions. We would stay there again

An amazing place. Owners on site but do not feel overlooked. If you need anything they are there but never mither Steve. Dry kindly put our shopping away as it arrived early put away orderly too Hot tub is fabulous and amenities all of high standard and plenty of them. We would definitely return. Only tiny feedback if a connecting door inside could be done that would be so much better, walking to each half outside isnt a choice but thats just my suggestion

Connor

The property is wonderfully kept and located in a great spot near bakewell. Zoe and Steve couldn't do enough for us and made sure our break over New Years eve went smoothly. The alpacas and the peony were cute.

Couldn't fault anything, beautiful place, fabulous accommodation set over to cottages , clean and homely, owners couldn't do enough for you. local drive to areas such as chatsworth , matlock and bakewell, highly recommend we will definitely be going back,

A fabulous property in a beautiful location, the property has everything you need and more! with the added bonus of a large hot tub. The owners were really helpful and friendly throughout our stay and we will definitely return. Loved it!

A group of us stayed at the Old Cowsheds for a long weekend. The cottage is lovely clean, comfortable and very well equipped. It was a great bonus to have the Hot Tub and outside eating areas in the garden. We very much enjoyed our weekend.

Jackie

A great place to stay in a lovely location. Easy access to wonderful walks and then relaxing, cooking, eating and pampering ourselves in the hot tub back at the Cowsheds. The owners, Steve and Zoe, were very helpful and friendly.

The cottages were absolutely perfect for our family gathering of nine people. The properties were extremely clean and comfortable. The kitchens were well stocked with crockery, cutlery, pots and pans. Outdoor seating areas were plentiful to take in the stunning setting. The owners made us feel very welcome. We would highly recommend these properties.

The owners could not of been more helpful and accommodating, even recommending ... The owners could not of been more helpful and accommodating, even recommending local places to visit and to eat, we stayed as a family for my daughters 18th birthday and could not of wished for a better family gathering, will 100 be back

We had a great holiday, well equipped cottage, very nice area, close to all attractions of the Peak District, would highly recommend The Old Cowsheds, Gratton near Winster.

Great location to relax and chill, good for walkers and nature lovers, a well equipped comfortable property. Owners very welcoming and knowledgeable about the local area. Would go again

Jonathan

Really loved our stay at Steves and Zoes cowsheds! Very well stocked with everything we needed, gorgeous location and facilities were well kept and clean. Hot tub was a massive hit and seating area in the garden was perfect for gatherings. Will definitely be recommending to family and friends

An enjoyable weekend with the ponies and alpacas the highlight for our two years old grandsons

Rachel

We have just had a lovely long weekend staying at Zoe and Steves in The Old Cowsheds, there were 8 of in total so we utilised both properties, both properties are perfectly situated within distance of local amenities lots of walking and other activities available, however we were there to chill and relax and this we did. Both properties were extremely well equipped, spotlessly clean and easily accessible, there was nothing Zoe or Steve couldnt do for you, Zoe even offered us a lift to the pub for our tea !!! The location was peaceful and quiet with wonderful views of the countryside and their grounds especially when chilling in the hot tub with the lovely ponies and alpacas mooching around. We got a Tesco order delivered had couple of BBQ and chilled in the lovely garden on the comfy outdoor furniture with fairy lights and a heater. We already trying to get a date in the diary for our next visit xx A little bit of luxury in a secluded little spot xx Thank you guys.

Nichola

Absolutely wonderful break, tranquil, beautiful scenery, yet close enough to Matlock, Bakewell if you want to visit, Wonderful hosts, everything you need & not to mention the icing on the cake the hot tub. THANK YOU!

Lottie

A group of us stayed at the Old Cowsheds in May and had a wonderful long weekend there. The hosts gave us a very warm welcome and the facilities are excellent. Would highly recommend.

A really wonderful stay. The cottages are lovely. Super comfy beds and bedding. Very well equipped and in a wonderful location convenient for walks and local towns. Great hot tub. Highly recommended.

Beautiful property. Well equipped and just like home. Very beautiful quite area. Owners are lovely people and very approachable. Would love to stay again.

We loved the property and the environment, Steve and Zoe were really helpful and friendly. Our only criticism was the distance between the two entrances to the accommodation, ok in fine weather, but not so good in the rain. In saying that we all had a lovely time and the hot tub was a real bonus.

This holiday house is beautiful and in a really calm and peaceful location. The weekend we visited was very thick with snow, which made the whole place even more amazing. The owners live on the site, but the holiday house is built in such a way that you will not see another person while you there. It looks out through bifold doors over a horse and alpaca pasture then onto open fields and hills. We hired out both Zoe and Steves cowshed which gave us plenty of space for 5 adults, 2 toddlers and 2 small dogs. The garden is safe and enclosed with gates either end, which meant the children and dogs could play freely between both houses. The hot tub is a massive added extra to the homes! It is only overlooked by one room of one of the houses, is under a permanent gazebo with lights. We used it in thick snow! One side of the garden also has a wooden gazebo with cushioned seating, heater and lights. The inside of both houses was so comfortable beds, duvets, sofas, chairs everything. The kitchen was equipped with everything you need to cook, and has a washing machine and dish washer. We called to make a very last minute booking, and the owner could not have been more helpful. Literally no complaints, wonderful weekend had by all, 5 stars definitely more if we could

Rukhsana

Amazing cozy cottage with a wonderful countryside feel. The views were stunning, with rolling hills and farmyard animals at a stones throw away. Steve was a brilliant host, he was very quick to sort any minor issues out including getting the cot ready before we arrived and helping us fix the iron within 24 hours! He was always available and helped recommend places for us to visit. We went to Heights of Abraham and the local Peak village. We also stayed back some evenings for a relaxing hot tub soak. Highly recommend the cottages!!

The property was very warm and comfortable, more instruction books for how things work ie TV , microwave, cooker etc, hooks or somewhere dry to put towels bath robs while using the hot tub. Possible supply bath robs for use while at the cottage. Steves cottage a little cramped for 6 people, but as we had both cottages not too much of a problem. We had a very enjoyable time away, and would consider a return visit.

Arrived in the dark on a bitterly cold December evening. The apartments were warm, welcoming and spotlessly clean. Delighted to see llamas and horses in the fields around the accommodation the next morning. We had a lovely celebration meal at the Druids Inn, Birchover. My family, including six grandchildren, enjoyed the many facilities, brilliant hot tub, trampoline, tree house, swings etc. Not able to take advantage of the wonderful opportunity for walking due to the weather and shortness of our stay but we are keen to return.

Beautiful property in a lovely area. Very comfortable interior with everything you need. Would definitely return, thanks Steve and Zoe
