Romantic cottages for two in the Peak District
Romantic cottages for two in the Peak District
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!
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

We have been having the most glorious May. The gardens are looking splendid and we have had lots of guests enjoying the lovely Peak District. We have had to turn our attention, as lots of others have, to become compliant with new laws.

What a difference from last week when our guests were battling through snow to get here and to get out again. Today the sun has been shining and and it had a bit of a feeling of spring. Can’t wait for spring to get out in the garden and start work in the new greenhouse. There are lots of bookings coming in but still a chance to get a short break away before Easter when it starts to get busy in the Peak District.
Happy New Year to everyone and looking forward to welcoming past and new guests in 2018. It may be cold and miserable outside so just the right time to recover from the Christmas festivities in a warm and cosy barn. Short breaks are available throughout the year and the cost of a stay is at 2016 rates. Can usually accommodate any day book in. Just contact if you have a special request for dates.

Why not treat yourself to a few days away in the Peak District in Douglas’s or Tom’s Barns. The prices have been reduced from 17 November to 7 December 2016. The days may be shorter but it is great to get out for a few hours for a walk or drive in the lovely countryside. The leaves may be off the trees but the views at this time of year are brilliant and if you are lucky you may catch a light frost that makes everything look magical. Then you can return to settle down in the warmth of he cosy barns. Check out the Availability and Booking for the latest prices.
Due to a health issue one of our soon to arrive guests has had to cancel so Tom’s Barn is available for a sneaky Autumn break.Bank holiday week is available and what better than to spend in the lovely surrounding countryside village of Parwich. If previous years are to go by the weather should still be warm and if it does go chilly the log burner will keep you toasty warm.
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 […]
