They have great knowledge of the area and suggested places to visit. We had a great stay at the barn. Would definitely recommend a stay here. The only thing I would mention is the entrance to the barn is a bit tight if you have a big car, but this is mentioned in the property description. Thank you Carol and Ken for a wonderful holiday.

It is a nice apartment with enough space. Everything you need during your stay is in the apartment. We were very well informed by Ken, the owner and Youlgreave is a pleasant community. There are a few nice pubs in the village and some small shops. The countryside is very beautiful and Bakewell, Haddon Hall and Chatsworth are in the neighbourhood. We are back in Holland now, but we miss the Peak District and Youlgreave already!
