Overlea Barn Reviews

Overlea Barn was spacious, extremely comfortable and beautifully decorated. It also afforded walks right from the front door.

Thanks for a fabulous week

Lovely property in a peaceful location the owners have thought of everything you might need to stay here and we couldnt think of a single thing that we needed that wasnt already here. We would love to stay again and would highly recommend.

Jeanette

Superb! Very tastefully appointed, great location

Rachael

We had an amazing time. The property is beautiful. So cosy, and it has everything you need. The location is perfect for walks and bike rides and coming back to a private hot tub is just wonderful. A perfect few days!

Lovely spacious accommodation. Very quiet location. Good that the TV and tablet were usable for a remote location. Hot tub was well looked after and a joy to use. Weather was perfect for the stay which enable us to enjoy the area as most of it is outdoors.

Beautifully presented property in a lovely area of the High Peak. Felt very private even though there are other properties on the site. Would highly recommend.

Cant fault this place. A beautiful building and beautiful place. Will highly recommend it to my friends. Thanks for lovely stay

Ashley

Everything about this property was excellent

Rachael

The cottage was just fabulous. There was everything you could possibly need, and a lovely welcome basket too. The cottage was warm and cosy with lots of facilities to help make your stay enjoyable. The hot tub was superb! The location was brilliant. We were so close to many fabulous walks and cycle rides. Thank you. We will definitely be returning and will be recommending this property to our friends and family.

Beautiful cottage, very tastefully presented.

There are a few word to describe Overlea Barn, WOW, Superb and Excellent as a starting point. Everything was so well thought out inside and out. The decor was lovely, very relaxing, everything you could possibly need had been thought of. The hot tub is an obvious bonus and very private, this was maintained everyday by the owner who we met on a couple of occasions, Alan was lovely very polite and happy to chat but always discreet when checking the hot tub. We have stayed with Sykes Cottages in the past but this property is by far our favourite.

Amanda

Everything was great. We loved our stay. We would have liked to have had a cooler shower but could only turn the temperature down so far but this is a minor gripe. The property, the setting, the privacy, the facilities, the ambience on arrival all wonderful.

We stayed in the Barn. Excellent accommodation, so tastefully decorated and all our needs more than catered for with a very nice welcome pack to get us started. 1 Enjoyed the private hottub and gardens which were lit up at night. Plenty of walks from the doorstep with other walks not to far away be car. These properties are a credit to Alan and Holly, with Alan always there should you need anything. We definitely hope to return.

Stunning barn in an amazing setting. Overlea barn had everything we needed, the place was spotless and comfortable. There were walks from the doorstep, a coop about a 5 minute drive away and we ate at the Packhorse pub which was delicious. Alan was on hand for any queries, but also left us to it . 1010 place, we cant wait to go back!

The host Alan was brilliant, helped us out a few times. We found the Barn very comfortable and well maintained. Planning on visiting again thanks for the help Alan. Make sure you put a little WD40 on the lockbox!

Veronica

We had the most perfect stay that completely exceeded our expectations. The place itself was immaculately clean and smelt amazing all throughout our stay, making us feel incredibly comfortable. We arrived to some music playing on the surround sound system and a gorgeous little welcome basket which were lovely additions and really set the mood for a relaxing holiday. There are more than enough kitchen facilities for a selfcatered stay making it even easier to make lots of nice food! Everything seems so perfectly thought out we really couldnt have asked for me and we will absolutely be back!! Thank you!

Fantastic!

Georgie

We really can't fault our trip to Overlea Barn this weekend. There was everything we could possibly have needed, right down to a Netflix subscription so that we could really relax in the evenings! Everything was well kept and comfortable and there was a touch of luxury to the property that felt extra special. Alan was incredibly helpful, easy to contact and on hand with fantastic advice for where we might enjoy walking to enjoy the truly beautiful surroundings. Without a shadow of a doubt we will be returning before too long.

Mollie

This was a wonderful stay. It definitely exceeded our expectations! It was very clean and it had everything we needed and more. Would definitely recommend to other people and would love to book again.

Absolutely stunning and cosy place to stay! Me and my partner loved the stay at overlea barn, with everything you need to relax with your loved one. The Christmas tree was an amazing addition, which made it feel more like home and a well thought out welcome hamper was brilliant! The whole barn was clean and packed with high quality furnishings. We definitely would stay again and recommend overlea barn to anyone!

Kieran

Our second visit did not disappoint. Overlea Barn is an exceptional retreat for those looking to escape life for a few days. We will return again, and are already looking forward to doing so.

Wonderful place ,1st class facilities and superb surroundings. Great place to spend a week and explore The Peaks. Thank you to Alan for a lovely stay. Peter and Val.

Very high quality cottage , will be booking again .

Lizzie

Really great little property that had everything we needed for a week away. We loved the hot tub in the garden, especially at the end of a long day walking and although you are near other properties we never felt like we weren't in our own private space. Owner was really friendly and helpful. A great location for exploring the peak district and beyond.

Outstanding accommodation, situated in an area that is both beautiful and provides plenty of things to see and do. Would thoroughly recommend and we will definitely be back. Thank you.

Overlea barn was perfect, it was equipped with everything you needed. When we walked in there was music playing which was a nice touch. It was very spacious and a great play to relax. The hot tub was amazing, especially at night when the lights were on. We definitely would come back again and recommend to friends and family!

Walked into a beautiful cottage with mood lighting and ambient music playing complete with welcome basket. . Lovely quiet location. A well equipped luxurious home built to a very high standard. Friendly owner on hand for any problems .....not that we had any ! Lovely walk down Sett Valley trail to Hayfield . We would thoroughly recommend Overlea Barn .

Absolutely perfect place for our honeymoon. Stunning area and a very very well kept cottage. It's just perfect. There's nothing I would change and I would love to go back.

Overlea barn was in a beautiful location and was extremely comfortable and well equipped. The property itself has been renovated to a high standard with a very comfortable bed most important and good quality contents. I would be very happy to return and recommend Overlea barn.

If youre looking for a private getaway, then look no further! Overlea Barn is the most decadent little pocket of comfort and privacy any couple could ask for. We stayed over Christmas, which made it so much more special with a lovely real Christmas tree greeting us on arrival. The Barn is beautifully laid out to provide the ultimate in relaxation and coziness. We loved the log burner and took advantage of the additional bag of logs provided. The kitchen has all facilities you could need to rustle up any meal from scratch. Upstairs is equally as lush with a beautiful bedroom where you can wake up early to the hoots of owls and the calls of roosters cocks, and a very quaint bathroom where one of you can have a rainfall shower while the other enjoys a bubble bath! And Ive not even got to the hot tub, which, we have to say, was an absolutely must on Christmas morning with a glass of fizz. The hosts were super helpful and kept their distance save for checking the hot tub and garden in which their 4legged friend also came along to We would 100 recommend Overlea Barn and we will almost certainly be back!

Thomas

Fantastic place and impeccable place couldn't recommend more Highly Great Stay

Nicola

Beautiful cottage, homely with all mod cons. Loved it and will definitely return

Hayley

A beautiful hidden gem. The Overlea Barn was cosy, clean very clean! and had everything we needed. The hot tub was an amazing added bonus. Alan was brilliant ahead of our stay, as it was my husbands 40th and he put a bottle of fizz in the fridge and I ordered some balloons, which Alan displayed for me. I will 100 recommend this place, and we will return for sure!

What a fabulous place. The perfect escape for a quiet weekend away. Thank you! We will be back!

Christy

We cannot fault anything about our stay at over Lea barn. The accommodation is modern, clean and perfect for a get away. The hot tub was a great addition to the stay and the picturesque views top it off. Attention to detail was perfect, greeted by music playing, fresh eggs, bread and milk just all little touches that made it feel extra special. The area is secluded but only a few minutes drive to some unreal views. We will 100 be revisiting.

Kirsten

This property is as described and pictured on the website. Well appointed, beautifully decorated and furnished, and perfect for a cosy stay with all amenities within walking distance. Suitable for self catering, loved the coffee machine, and for eating out. Even enjoyed the board games on offer! The welcome pack of bread, milk, butter and biscuits were gratefully received, bed extremely comfortable, a really spacious property with the added benefit of a private hot tub. A good location to kick back and relax from everyday hectic lives. Hayfield has some fabulous places to eat The George served wholesome good food grub, make sure youre hungry if you choose the large option, Colosseo restaurant served really good Italian food with a great atmosphere, Id book at weekends, and The Packhorse Sunday roast definitely showed why they have been voted as No32 in The Top Gastropubs 2022, loved being able to choose oysters as a pre starter, all very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend this property, had an amazing long weekend!
