Jennifer
The property is very comfortable with all the amenities you could wish for. We had a very warm welcome from the owner. plus the welcome pack is very generous and useful. The location is rural and peaceful and we're sure in the summer months a great spot to enjoy coffee or a glass of wine outside. It is approximately equidistant to Derby and Ashbourne and convenient for south Derbyshire, and from our perspective, some fantastic hiking. We had a lovely short break and would highly recommend Barn Owl.
