Guests say
Lathkill Barn is appreciated for its cleanliness, comfortable beds, and welcoming hosts. Its location near Bakewell and scenic views are highlights, and the enclosed garden is a plus for pet owners. Some concerns about maintenance and dog-friendliness are noted.
Most guests found the barn very clean, with only a few mentioning issues with dog waste in shared areas. The positive remarks on cleanliness suggest a high standard is generally maintained.
The location is praised for its proximity to Bakewell and beautiful surroundings. The rural setting on a working farm adds to the charm, although the presence of farm animals and associated smells are noted.
Guests enjoyed comfortable beds and a cosy atmosphere, but some found the sofas and shower facilities less satisfactory. The creaking floorboards and small shower cubicle were drawbacks for some.
While the barn is equipped for guests, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as damp patches, a leaky sink, and inadequate lighting. The need for better dog enclosures and updates to some facilities is expressed.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

A charming little market town with a charming rural ambiance with a variety of stores, restaurants, and bars, as well as local farmer's markets. In close proximity to the old market hall from the 17th century is a modern recreation centre with a swimming pool. Bakewell is conveniently situated within the Peak District National Park for exploring this wonderful region. Both the rocky Dark Peak and the gentler limestone White Peak are easily accessible, as is Britain's premier amusement park, Alton Towers. Stately homes such as Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall and Hardwick Hall are just a few of the many that can be visited, as are the impressive caverns in nearby Castleton and the resting place of Little John in nearby Hathersage. The spectacular Edwardian Opera House in Buxton was created by Frank Matcham, who also designed the London Palladium.

It was great having the enclosed garden outside the patio door & being able to park the car right outside the front door. The owners were extremely helpful so If we come back to the area we will book again.

Would definitely recommend. Only downside is the shower cubicle, as it is small but manageable, no problem with hot water. Peaceful and great for pets. We really enjoyed our stay.
