Rough Bank Barn Reviews

Monique

Super. We really had a great time together in the lovely, warm welcoming cottage. Clean, very spacious everywhere. Nothing to complain about. Lovely warm jacuzzi. IT WAS GREAT!

Excellent long weekend with family, celebrating Dad's 80th birthday. Perfect get away and would love to stay again. Thank you!

Robert John

Loved views and family sized facilities. Good practical garden. Brilliant for walking. May be a little isolated for some people but that is part of its appeal.

This is such a beautiful, well equipped property it was our third stay here and Im sure we will come again.

Joanne

The property is fantastic with all the amenities you require for a stress free break away. Highly recommend staying here.

Fantastic place to stay for 11 people and room for one more! Never felt like we were crowded. Beautiful views and beautiful house. Plenty of parking space and good sized rooms, the showers were amazing and we never got cold because of the Aga. Thank you for letting us stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Rough Bank Barn for 3 big family birthdays. All generations of the family enjoyed the stay. The hot tub was a big favourite of the children and the BBQ meant we could grill despite the weather being very wet! The barn itself I was gorgeous with a great social space downstairs which automatically brings everyone together. Really comfy beds, though the upstairs bedrooms arent the quietest, so Id suggest having those who are early to bed or like a lie in to be downstairs. Its a tranquil setting, with good walks around the area and easy access to Newhey village its a steep track though so anyone with limited fitnessmobility might struggle with the walk back up! Great communication from the hosts when needed, wed definitely stay again.

Great property and clean but had problems with the water supply and the hot tub. The tub was slimy and when we all got out we all had a real musty smell on our bodies. The wife wanted a bath to have a soak after the tub and when the plug was removed to let the water out there was a load of grit left as residue at the bottom. Not great

Angela

We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend break with friends and family celebrating my 60th birthday and our engagement. The house and garden is perfect as a party house with lots of space for eating, dancing and general party shenanigans! Hugo the bulldog loved the enclosed garden and we were never worried he could escape. The hot tub was ready for us on arrival it is just a hot tub without bubbles and we made the most of this and the fabulous BBQ hut. We couldnt quite get the hang of the Arga cooker but managed well enough. We did want the beds that could be separated to be so but this wasnt done on our arrival. However, with a phone call the owners came and supplied us with more linen so we could do it ourselves. A wonderfully memorable birthday and engagement party was had by all. Thank you and we will have no hesitation in recommending you to friends and family.

Georgia

We had a brilliant stay, group of 12 ladies everything you could need and within a short walk to the local village, perfect walks and the house is just amazing we had a great time thankyou. The owner also let us have late checkout on Sunday which was massively appreciated thankyou so much for a great stay.

Lovely stay, which was super comfortable. Great to have the hot tub. Easy communication with hosts. Brilliant spot for nice walks and nearby pubs too. Only thing Id say is would have appreciated real glass for glasses and nicer mugs set which would just elevate the property.

Rebecca

A group of 12 of us had a fantastic weekend at Rough Bank Barn. The photos really dont do it justice as to how spacious it is. It was so well stocked and all facilities were wonderful. Ruth was also very helpful and easy to communicate with prior to the weekend and during the stay. The hot tub and fire pit were also great additions and we certainly made the most of them! I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this place to anyone.

Really superb property. Very happy with our stay and would recommend to others. Feedback 1 vent in ensuite bathroom not working. 2 Should have some glass rather than plastic wine glasses.

What a fabulous place for a family get together. The quality of the barn is first class. The hot tub and BBQ cabin were wonderful additions. The garden and house was dog friendly with amazing views and walks on the doorstep. The house being decorated for Christmas was lovely. The owners have thought of everything to offer the best stay and we could not have wished for anything better. Thank you!

All the family reported being delighted with this great property and facilities. bedding and towels lovely quality. underfloor heating provided welcome warmth. hot tub wonderful. we enjoyed the local reservoir for walksruns. a few challenges reported for our relative who is wheelchairdependent. She can walk a limited distance with support, this was essential. She could not access any showers due to steps. for those unable to mobilise they would have faced more difficulties. using the aga for cooking was a bit challenging for the inexperienced baking cakes and heating oil for frying but we ate well!

We had such a wonderful stay, all needs catered for and perfect for little children, dogs and adults. Thank you for being wonderful hosts. We particularly loved having the fire pit shed and the open plan kitchen, dining, living. Ruth and David were so helpful prior to coming and even once there too, responding very quickly to any questions. We'd love to come back again!

Angela

So much more than a holiday cottage it was a home from home. Everything we could need was provided, house was cosy and warm, decor excellent and the hot tub and bbq hut made for a memorable birthday celebration with friends. We are already recommending to other friends and family.

Lyndsay

Fantastic stay with friends The barn is equipped with everything you need and ... Fantastic stay with friends The barn is equipped with everything you need and the bbq hut was an added bonus Communication from Ruth prior during and after our visit Five stars

Wow, what a fantastic property that blew us all away. Accommodation was beautiful very tasteful. 8 adults and 4 children plenty of room for everyone. We had our dog with us he too loved being with all the family. Children and adults enjoyed the hot tub it was used by all. We celebrated my husbands 70th birthday and had a fabulous weekend.

Nicholas

Brilliant stay, amazing property and fantastic garden for the kids, dogs and adults to play in. Hot tub and BBQ hut are excellent !! We will be back 55

Theresa

We have had a lovely week at Rough Bank Barn. The house is lovely and cosy with brilliant facilities. The photos online do not do it justice. The house and garden are huge and in a private quiet area surrounded by the most gorgeous mountains and scenery. We couldnt fault it as the owners have thought of everything and provided so much down to cosy beds for our dogs. The bbq hut and hot tub hot were delightful and made good use of when the weather was a bit wet. Beds are luxurious and cosy and everywhere decorated lovely and bathrooms high spec. Barn in easy reach of great locations to visit or walks that are right on the doorstep of the barn. Can highly recommend staying here.

We had an amazing stay and Ruth and David were very friendly and welcoming to us, we would definitely come back! The barn is beautiful as is the garden and hot tub area with amazing views

Lindsey

A beautiful place with great hosts! Prior to arrival contacted Ruth she was great and provided lots of useful information. There was 8 of us and we had a fantastic time great value for the money.

An amazing property superb for family holidays with all the amenities you need! Fantastic owners who will help with anything.

Fantastic weekend in a truly wonderful property, the photos do not do it justice! The hobbit house with the log burner and the hot tub were unique and very cosy and the standard of the bedrooms and facilities were exactly what I wanted for my 40th birthday with my friends. Thank you so much

A brilliant February half term stay, a lovely place for 3 families with their 2 dogs to enjoy a get together. A good size for everyone to enjoy their own space. Some lovely walks on the doorstep.

Amazing! 3 families equalled 11 people & 2 dogs. Plenty of room, even in the bbq hut. From pictures it looked like it wouldnt fit us all, but it did with room to spare! Big hit along with hot tub. Amazing views . Highly recommend the Cedar Tree for a meal. We will be back

The property was lovely, David and Ruth on hand to deal with any queries if required. The setup suited the three families, felt like we had our own wings, Hot tub well used along with the BBQ hut which was a great experience for us all. Lovely walks on your doorstep, Highly recommend

Rough Bank Barn was everything we could have hoped for. Property was very clean. There was more than enough space for 12 people. Because the weather wasn't so good we had to spend more time indoors that we would have liked, but the selection of books and games kept everyone amused. The facilities were excellent, and the quality of the kitchen utensils and crockery was very good. The owners were very helpful, and we are hoping to return in the future.

Felicity Ann

Amazing property, it had everything we needed and more! The location is perfect and views around the property are lovely. We all had a fantastic time and looking forward to hopefully staying again in the future

Geoffrey

The barn was clean on arrival and is well equipped. The beds are comfortable and there is lots of room in all the bedrooms for storage. The showers are powerful and the jacuzzi baths were nice to use. The views around the barn are lovely and it well tucked away from the town, so it is very peaceful. The garden is very dog friendly and the owners leave towels for dogs for wiping muddy paws. We enjoyed using the BBQ hut! The owners were very quick to respond to any queries issues we had and have excellent local knowledge. The tram, in the town, is really convenient for getting into the centre of Manchester, only takes 45 minutes and is easy and cheap to use. There is lots of countryside around, so although you are close to lots of big towns and cities you can get away from it all. The main villages tourist attractions of the Peak District are about 75 minutes away. Only improvements I would suggest, would be more cupboards for storage of food and a welcome pack. Also, either an airer or washing line to enable you to dry clothes outside. The barn is ideal for big groups looking to get away together.

Alison

Lovely property, beautiful rural views and a lovely large well tended garden which we would have used a lot more had the weather been better! Second fridgefreezer for overflow fooddrinks would have been very useful. And a bigger kettleteapotcoffee pot. Aga door very difficult to access. Hot tub and BBQ hut a great addition and used lots! Plenty of space for everyone, and good WiFi. Good for folk with reduced mobility and our dogs were made very welcome. Ideal for our multigenerational family get toge

Gorgeous house with gorgeous views 1010 would stay again!

A fantastic stay with brilliant facilities. Beautiful house and so comfortable. The host was great and responded so quickly to messages. We have already booked to go again next year.

Fantastic property, we absolutely loved our stay! The owners were really helpful and friendly! The only thing we hadnt appreciated about the property was that the ensuite on the first floor is off the room with the smaller double, not the king size ziplink.

Christopher

We stayed at the Barn for one week and had an amazing time. Very warm and comfortable with everything that was needed for such a large and diverse party that we were. The hot tub and BBQ are first class and well looked after by the owners the chemical levels in the hot tub are checked daily for example. The owners were on hand to help us and kept in touch to ensure everything was going well would highly recommend this property to stay in.

Beverley

Lovely cottage, as described. Layout ideal for et togethers. Bedrooms were beautiful. Ensuites bathrooms were very luxurious and to a very high standard. The garden space was ideal and lends itself to sunny days chilling with friends. The bbq area is enclosed so ideal to take late night parties and chats. Beau home and would definitely stay again. Xx

Jacqueline

We had the best time at this amazing venue. The owners made sure everything was perfect for our stay. They were on hand if we needed them, not that we did. We would highly recommend Rough Bank Barn.

Leanne

Beautiful house. Owners couldnt be more helpful. Had a fantastic stay. Thank you very much
