Romantic cottages for two in the Peak District
Romantic cottages for two in the Peak District
I have had the pleasure of managing Tom and Douglas Barns for 10 Years and felt it was time to enjoy a bit more of my retirement. The barns will continue to be holiday cottages and will be maintained to the standard that all previous guests have enjoyed. The only change is that Sykes Cottages will be managing the bookings for me and Royal clean will be servicing them.
I am still here at the end of the phone so you can still give me a call if you have any queries about the barns.
Looking to forward to seeing returning and new guests.
The weather is a bit mixed but we are still getting sunny days. A perfect time of year to come and stay for a few days and have a walk in the lovely countryside, take a bike ride, visit one of the many attractions that all stay open or just relax in Tom or Douglas Barns. There is a village pub a few minutes walk away that does great meals and even a little shop to get something to enjoy in the comfort of the barns. Jump in your car to wander around the local villages and towns, lots of places to grab a coffee and cake. Your dogs are very welcome in our barns, in the pub and lots of places in the Peak District. Hope to see you soon.
P.S the butterflies and bees are still gathering the last of the pollen from the asters and other plants that have decided its not time for bed yet!
Election blues why not book a nice few days away in the beautiful Peak District!. Seasonal discounts are on offer for June and July. The nights are long which means you can spend more time enjoying the lovely countryside. Lots of pubs and places to eat with great offers on at this time of year. What’s not to like.
The weather has been so wet but our barns offer a cosy retreat in beautiful countryside. Why not pack a bag for a few days and have a break . We have extended our spring prices until mid June and reduced our summer prices. It would be lovely to see you for a few days or why not a week. Don’t worry about the weather there is plenty to see and do and a lovely pub just down the road serving lovely food. What are you waiting for?
We are pleased to be able to offer an EV charging point on site for guests staying in the barns. Charges for its use will be based on the price per kwh that we will be paying to our supplies at the time of use.
Wishing all our past present and future guests a very Happy New Year.
Following the sad passing of Barni in June we made a decision to have another dog to keep Izzy company. We were hoping to rehome a Vizsla but there were none suitable. Izzy’s sister was in pup and we were lucky enough to get a boy puppy, Ollie, who is a half brother to Barni.
He has a different personality to Barni who was quite a character. Hopefully Ollie will be a bit more chilled out.
The barns continued to have a great group of guests in last year which makes running them so enjoyable. We are so lucky to be able to share our home with such lovely people.
We are looking forward to the New Year and the challenges it brings
.
Its open gardens again tomorrow at Orchard Farm. The lovely hot sunny weather has been great for us but the gardens have really suffered. Lots of rain in the last few days have saved the day and everything is looking lovely for Parwich Open Gardens tomorrow. Rambling Rector is again in full bloom!
Lots of gardens are open in the village, including Orchard Farm, hopefully the sun will shine, the rain clouds won’t make an appearance until later on and we have lots of visitors to our beautiful Peak District village.
Looking forward to seeing new and regular guests back to enjoy the peace and quite of our lovely barns. At the start of the year we closed for our usual refurbishment and painting. As always the barns have been repainted and lighting upgraded to meet latest standards. Both barns have Smart TVs downstairs and upstairs and they each have their own WiFi so accessing the internet is pretty good for a very small out in the countryside village.This year mattresses have been replaced with Sealy Windermere ones which I understand grace the beds in the Savoy in London. Hope they meet the expectations of the guests.
The businesses are all fully open but it is really busy so booking is advised especially for eating out venues. The Sycamore Inn, Parwich is only 10mins walk away and the food is excellent.
The barns are getting booked up very quickly so make sure you get your booking in.
The countryside around here as as beautiful as ever, walking and cycling at its best.

We are fully open and welcoming lots of guests. Great to see people here and share our home and lovely countryside. Looking forward to hospitality opening up more for Monday 17 May 2021. The village pub The Sycamore and The British Legion will be able to welcome guests inside which is good when the sun goes in. They have all done well to provide a service in outside facilities since April as have most of those great cafes and pubs that we all love across the Peak District. A lot of facilities have made adaptions that I have to say enhanced the facilities that they already provided. Hassop Station has made great changes to their facilities which has made their offerings even more attractive. There are a couple of dates 24 – 29 May and the 5 – 11 June which have become available in Douglas Barn. Other dates are still available in both Barns for the following months. Hope to see you here soon.
We are planning to re-open on the 12 April 2021. We already have quite a few bookings so to save disappointment it is worth getting your booking in. Our cancellation policy is such that should your booking need to be cancelled due to Government Covid restrictions on travel etc a full refund or transfer of booking date will be made.
The local pub will be able to serve drinks and food outside in the beer garden and the British Legion in the village is also planning to serve drinks outside in its new re-vamped space.
We are looking forward to a busy summer, good weather and lots of happy people who are so pleased to be able to get away to the country for a well deserved break.
It is lovely and quite in Parwich, great scenery, lovely walks and very close to some lovely countryside and attractions.
The barns are so welcoming Why wouldn’t you want to come and stay?
