Award winning luxury accommodation in an area of outstanding natural beauty.

We had a fantastic stay at this holiday cottage. The location was great — peaceful yet close to everything we needed. The property was spotless, really comfortable, and had everything we could ask for. Communication with the hosts was excellent, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. We’d happily recommend it to others.

Gorgeous barn stay for my husband, teenagers and I. The ballsfield barn is a beautiful location with stunning views as far as the eye can see. Excellent location for us to explore whilst the teenagers went to Alton towers.

Our stay was so lovely, the place was tranquil and the views were stunning. The property was lovely and had everything you need. Great place to spend a few days for a family big birthday. You need car to travel out to visit places.Watching the sunset in the evening was beautiful.Just a little thought that would benefit in the cooler months would be a pod where the bench is as you could enjoy more of the late evenings looking over the views and enjoy drinks etc. But overall loved our stay here and the hosts were so lovely and welcoming.Thank you for letting us enjoy the property and the views.

We've just had three nights here, but we so wish we could have stayed longer! The barn itself is a super property, tasteful and homely, spotlessly clean, a high end spec throughout and it has everything you might need. Our hosts were so welcoming, helpful and friendly, but never intrusive. Most of all though, it's about the location. Wow. Incredible views and blissfully peaceful. I fell in love with it, and our elderly Labrador was in heaven having access to fields and an acre of woodland (very welcome in the heatwave!) to wander about in. Me being a wildlife enthusiast, I was in my element, particularly as there's a wonderful nature reserve literally opposite the property! My husband is an astrophotographer and this spot was perfect for some dark sky shots of the Milky Way. Just perfect, can't say more than that! We will definitely return when we can.

Beautiful accommodation in a idilic setting. Very well equipped for our self catering holiday with kids and a dog. Quiet enough to enjoy peaceful countryside, yet close enough to town of Leek and Alton Towers to have days out. Would definitely visit again.

We had a great long weekend staying at ballfields barn, a true home from home in the peak district. Extremely comfortable, well appointed and immaculately clean. A great location for getting out and about, we will definitely be looking forward to staying again.

A peaceful spot in the countryside, clean and comfortable with warm helpful hosts.Great area to visit pretty Bakewell and the magnificent Chatsworth House and gardens.

Lovely clean well presented property. Owners very friendly and helpful. Especially enjoyed the log burner in the evenings. Our dog particularly enjoyed the near by walks.

Overall was an excellent stay the kids didnt want to leave and was perfext in terms of price and location to what we had planned a proper home away from home.

A great barn conversion in a great location with fantastic host. Isobel and Brian were extremely accomodating allowing us to check in at 10pm as we was at Alton Towers prior to arriving at the barn. Thank you and hopefully we will be back again soon. Andy & Jodie

Honestly, we are already looking at booking this property again! We stayed for a long weekend, which was not enough time! The property itself is set in the countryside secured by an electric gate. The owners live on site behind the barn so would be on hand should any problems arise. The room set up is two twin rooms, so don't expect to be in the same bed as your partner - for us, the photos showed this so we knew this would be the case. The property looked and smelled so clean upon arrival, and it's really a lot bigger than the photos make it look! The kitchen is very well equipped, even had egg cups and a pizza cutter. The only niggle we had was that the TV wasn't smart as described - this wouldn't have been the owners fault, unfortunately Netflix and other apps have stopped supporting certain TV brands - I have resolved this issue by purchasing a Roku for the owners as a gift from us. Hopefully this will help future visitors - we had two children under 14 so they're not used to 'normal' TV! Wi-Fi very good, which I wasn't expecting being quite remote. If you love walking then this is a great place to stay, we travelled locally on the first day to find the Three Shires Head waterfall - didn't succeed but it was a wonderful walk - the second day we headed to Glossop for another waterfall and was successful! Our final day we visited Matlock Bath, which was a little more relaxing! Honestly, thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your property!

Property was of a high quality and everything you would expect from a country cottage. Lovely peaceful surroundings and secure for children to roam the garden. Would look forward to returning
