Well that would most certainly apply to Ladycroft Barn. The tasteful and thoughtfully renovated barn is an absolute haven and care has gone into every single aspect to ensure it is useful or beautiful (and mostly both). The grounds are outstanding and were a constant delight moseying around or simply admiring from the house. Cloudless nights provide extra sparkle as the secluded location equals limited light pollution. The barn is ideally situated for trips to Chatsworth, Wirksworth, Matlock, Tissington and so many other fabulous areas within Derbyshire. Just when you thought the property, could not be any more perfect, there is also the wonderfully welcoming hosts, Annie and Peter who clearly and rightly are proud of what they have achieved with the barn and are so happy to share the joys and peacefulness it has to offer. Twelve out of ten :-)
