  Woodpecker cottage in Chinley. Where to begin!!! I will start with the positives. The cottage is spotless. It is well laid out with a downstairs loo and 2 spacious bedrooms both En Suite. The beds are really comfy and the views are great from the windows. Downstairs has a lovely cosy living room with leather sofas and a wood burning stove. There is a great view into the graveled courtyard too. The kitchen is well laid out, spacious and very clean and tidy. It has all the amenities you require. There is a large family dining table with again great views into the graveled courtyard area. The whole of the downstairs benefits from tile flooring with underfloor heating which is lovely and warm on your feet. The area is great too as we did a short and a long circular walk. It has some good tracks to run on too. The local pub The Old Hall Inn is excellent and has some great beers and wines and the food is fabulous. The communication with the owners was very good prior to check in and on departure although we had no reason to see the owners, we knew that they were near if we needed them. A great cottage and we will at some stage definitely return. Now the negatives. There are none!!!!

  If you’re looking for a private getaway, then look no further!

  Overlea Barn is the most decadent little pocket of comfort and privacy any couple could ask for. We stayed over Christmas, which made it so much more special with a lovely real Christmas tree greeting us on arrival. The Barn is beautifully laid out to provide the ultimate in relaxation and coziness. We loved the log burner and took advantage of the additional bag of logs provided. The kitchen has all facilities you could need to rustle up any meal from scratch. Upstairs is equally as lush with a beautiful bedroom where you can wake up early to the hoots of owls and the calls of roosters / cocks, and a very quaint bathroom where one of you can have a rainfall shower while the other enjoys a bubble bath! And I’ve not even got to the hot tub, which, we have to say, was an absolutely must on Christmas morning with a glass of fizz. The hosts were super helpful and kept their distance save for checking the hot tub and garden ( in which their 4-legged friend also came along to ) We would 100% recommend Overlea Barn and we will almost certainly be back!

  This property is as described and pictured on the website.

  Well appointed, beautifully decorated and furnished, and perfect for a cosy stay with all amenities within walking distance. Suitable for self catering, loved the coffee machine, and for eating out. Even enjoyed the board games on offer! The welcome pack of bread, milk, butter and biscuits were gratefully received, bed extremely comfortable, a really spacious property with the added benefit of a private hot tub. A good location to kick back and relax from everyday hectic lives. Hayfield has some fabulous places to eat; The George served wholesome good food grub, make sure you’re hungry if you choose the large option, Colosseo restaurant served really good Italian food with a great atmosphere, I’d book at weekends, and The Packhorse Sunday roast definitely showed why they have been voted as No32 in The Top Gastropubs 2022, loved being able to choose oysters as a pre starter, all very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend this property, had an amazing long weekend!

  We booked Woodpecker cottage as a mid point for our friends to come from London and us to come form the north. The cottage looked lovely on line and lived up to and exceeded every expectation. The cottage was very clean with a modern but classic design. It’s a gorgeous property that is dog friendly so you get a touch of luxury but can also take your pooch. The kitchen had every utensil you could need, both bedrooms were similar size and had en-suite bathrooms which is rare to find. There was lovely little touches with dog biscuits, a bottle of wine, fresh eggs and a massive slab of yummy lemon drizzle cake on arrival. It had a packed information file with everything you would need to know. It really felt like home with an extra special touch. It was amazing to see our friends and the cottage made it extra special for us.

  We really enjoyed our stay in Overlea Barn.

  Beautifully decorated and so relaxing with a brilliant wood burner (set up and ready to go when we arrived ) and great adjustable lighting and sound system/tv. It was immediately warm and welcoming to walk in. Having the tablet with useful links to activities/walks/pubs in the local area was really useful. Hot tub was great to use even in the cold weather! Set in a beautiful little garden that felt really private and scenic, it really felt like a retreat experience. Gorgeous hillside views from the large but cosy bedroom which had a great en suite with high quality bath and shower. Also, it was really well kitted out if you like to cook - with everything you need including a great set of knives. Alan was friendly, available and helpful when needed. We’ll be back and highly recommend it.
