Barncroft Reviews

Hannah
Cottage was beyond expectations the pictures don't quite do it justice on the website! It was lovely and comfortable, clean, spacious and homely.
Alison
I cannot find enough words to describe how amazing our stay at Barncroft was. The property was just perfect in every way, very clean, high spec and the views incredible. We went with our family and there was ten of us 6 adults, 4 children and 2 doggies. Every single one of us including the dogs felt very relaxed and at home and there was plenty of space for all our needs. I quite honestly could have stayed in the house all week and not gone out anywhere. My only disappointment was that I wanted to book it for the same week next year and it was already booked up
Adrianne
Beautiful property, great location and spotlessly clean. The views from the dining area, lounge and hot tub were amazing. Had a great stay with the whole family. We would recommended to anyone looking to book and would definitely return. Thanks to all.
A lovely house, equipped with everything wed need. Would definitely return!
A wonderful time had by all. The property was so comfortable in every way. Panoramic views were amazing. Archie and James were very accommodating to a couple of our requests. Thank you very much. We would love to return in the future.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Barncroft. The cottage is very comfortably and fitted out to a very high standard. The only very slight downside was the kitchen equipment, for example we couldn't find a cheese grater. But overall the property is excellent.
Barncroft is an extremely comfortable spacious accommodation, equipped to a very high standard. I would recommend anyone to stay at this property.
Andrew
Excellent property, we have stayed in several Sykes cottages over the years and this property just about tops the lot. The owners have done an excellent job with the property and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had sunny weather every day and were able to take in the brilliant views from the jacuzzi, outside seating and dining room picture window. We would definitely recommend this property to others and will be very keen to return in future
Rebecca
We had an incredible weekend and the house really had everything to offer and was even better than we were expecting. We would like to thank you for an unforgettable house to host an extremely memorable weekend.
Beautiful accommodation, stylish, comfortable with excellent fixtures and fittings . Very clean and well maintained. A lovely setting,close to the village and a short journey to Matlock and Matlock Bath. A dustpan would be a useful addition. A brush is provided. Would definitely return.
Daniel
One of the cleanest, most perfect UK stays in a while. There was a family of 9 and everyone was more than happy with our stay. The views around the property were spectacular, the rooms were very spacious and every room was incredibly clean and comfortable no matter where you were. There isnt a bad thing to say about the property. Sipping a coffee outside and seeing a deer run across the adjacent fields was spectacular. Barncroft was a wonderful place and would 100 recommend to anyone. The family even suggested around going for Christmas if it wasnt already booked!
The place was excellent. Many thanks. We may gave left a pair of glasses behind. Could you please check and let us know. Many thanks, Nikki Eastwood
Amazing time . Weather was great .Tansley tan. Lovely bungalow , lots of space for everyone .. good quality furnishings with high spec appliances. Only 6 chairs to outside table, there was 10 of us ..
Mathilda
Beautiful property, thoughtfully furnished. We visited for a creative retreat and it was the perfect location for reading, thinking, and inspiring discussions. The views are stunning, and enjoying them from the hot tub and the dining table was a daily treat. The bedrooms, sitting room, kitchen and bathrooms are comfortable, clean and modern. Would definitely book again.
Miranda
This is a really lovely property in a stunning location.
A fantastic property perfect to bring 3 generations together to celebrate a 40th birthday. The views, high end appliances and location make Barncroft a property that we would definitely want to return to.
Keisha
This place was perfect in every way! So spacious, perfect lay out and so clean. We took our dog and he loved it especially laying in front of the fire place! Depending on your dog, you may have to keep them on the lead as theres no fencing or gating, and theres a huge field next to the property, but it wasnt an issue for us personally. The kitchen had everything we needed so were able to cook a full English breakfast & a Sunday roast! The rooms were so spacious and beds were so comfy! The location is perfect, less than a 5 minute walk to The Tansley pub serving the most delicious food and just a short drive into Matlock & Matlock Bath. We were also able to order a takeaway and have it delivered to us from China Rose, again would recommend! We immediately booked to go back next year during our stay, we all loved it that much! 1010!
Hannah
Could not fault our stay, the lodge was immaculate and absolutely gorgeous! We will definitely be returning in the summer.
We had a wonderful few days at Barncroft. The cottage was amazing, finished to a very high standard super comfortable, well stocked and beautifully decorated a real home from home vibe. Location also perfect. No real negatives at all......below are just some thoughts we had during our stay that might help for future. We were a group of 6 women, so you may get a different perspective from other groups. 1. No scissors surprising how often you need them when there aren't any 2. We weren't sure whether we were expected to recycle? If any 'rules' guests should abide by, maybe mention in the welcome note. 3. We couldn't find the switches for the outside lighting 4. Advise guests where the Neff oven instructions are.....my friends had me to help as I have neff so no issues but others may not be familiar 5. Not sure if you need to have some kind of mat near the door that guests should use to protect the wooden flooring when coming in from the hot tub. We put towels down as we were worried the wood would warp. 6. Maybe consider plastic glasses for use round the hot tub and also for children in general. 7. Finally, and maybe an obvious one, but a note to request shoes off at the front door might be an idea to help protect the carpets. Overall 1010. Thank you to the owners for helping us make our New Year so memorable and hope to book again soon.
