‘Another fantastic visit (their fifth), fully relaxed following our stay.’ Nov 2010
‘Would definitely revisit. We highly recommend Ladybower Dam, Poole’s Cavern, Bakewell…’ Nov 2010
‘Came here last year and immediately rebooked. We weren’t disappointed. Once again Marion and John have thought of everything and the place is so clean. Cooked lots – the kitchen is better equipped than mine! We’ll have to come back one day; I can’t bear not to!’ Oct 2010
‘Fabulous place to chill – so relaxed we didn’t do much at all, but enjoyed every moment in the beautiful barn. Hope to return. Thanks to John and Marion for providing such a welcome place.’ Oct 2010
“Our second stay in Tom’s Barn – already booked for next year! Such a wonderful place to stay – everything you could anticipate in a cottage…and more!! Everything is spotlessly clean and so comfortable.” Sept 2010
‘What a gem! From the generous welcome, homemade cake, spotlessly clean cottage… a true find. Lovely walks, walk at Chatsworth we particularly liked…Thank you…’ Oct 2010
‘Lovely cosy barn and tasty welcome tray! Perfect surroundings and hosts. Delicious homemade marmalade from Marion, will try to make some when we get home. Enjoyed a morning run on circular route from the gate outside the barn, up the hill, left at the top and left again back into Parwich (about 3 miles) and virtually traffic free at 8am. Just returned from the George – highly recommended!’ Oct 2010
Thanks for a great lemon & poppy seed cake, Marion – wonderful! Just wished we could stay longer. Thank you so much.” Sept 2010

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 […]
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 […]
