The Barn at Catacol Reviews

Had a lovely week, great place for a quiet stay. Lovely garden to sit in when the weather is dry to watch the wildlife. Probably the most comfortable bed weve slept in so good for a restful stay. Handy spot for either getting into the Peaks and plenty of national trust house to visit if thats your thing. House is half mile up the bridle way and ok as long as u dont have a Ferrari we have a cashqai and it was fine. We didnt meet a single vehicle as only a few houses up there. Couldnt ask for better hosts
Lovely property, very clean, quiet and comfortable. Hot tub and 14 acres of hillside gardens and woodland to explore
Denise
A really clean, cosy and comfortable place to stay. The location was spot on being secluded but with great views. Walks on your doorstep in lovely old fashioned woodlands. The hot tub was a real bonus just relaxing looking up at the stars in the evenings. Great friendly hosts. Will be back.
Michelle
We recently stayed at the barn and were delighted with how clean and comfortable the accommodation was. Everything you could need for a short break was available, even hair straighteners! The only slight criticism we have its not a negative, is that we found eating at the bar table quick tricky as the stools are too high. The hot tub was a delight. Relaxing, looking at the stars whilst listening to the owls was wonderful. The owners were very helpful and communicated instructions clearly. Would definitely stay again!
Caroline
This was an amazing secluded place to escape the world! The barn conversion has everything you need and more, the hot tub is perfect to lay and watch the night sky surrounded by nature. Val was a lovely host, very informative on our arrival, we will definitely be coming back soon!
Lovely stay, very cosy place in a lovely location, thank you so much
A very wellappointed barn conversion in a delightful and peaceful setting. We particularly enjoyed the peace and quiet and being able to explore the extensive grounds making it possible to do a good walk straight from the doorstep. We also enjoyed some excellent eating places close by and it is an excellent gateway to the Peak District.
Jordan
Very clean and comfortable barn in a peaceful location however was very disappointed to find out when we got there that the hot tub was out of order and we could not use it as this was one of the main reasons we booked this specific property.
Great location ideal for those that want to explore some 14 acres of surrounding forest. Property as advertised and Val the host made us very welcome. I believe this to be the first review posted as property only been listed since August Would definitely return
Hayley
My wife and I have just returned home from a lovely week spent at The Barn At Catacol. 13th 20th September. We enjoyed a relaxing stay in the idyllic surroundings of the barn, alternating with days out to some nearby attractions. The barn had everything we needed and we felt very much at home there in its 14 acres. Our host, Val, was extremely friendly and helpful. She gave us information about the barn and the local area. Thanks Val. We can recommend a visit to the nearby Crich Tramway Museum and the National Trust Workhouse & Infirmary in Southwell. The scenery local to the barn is also outstanding. Two restaurants we visited were the Tom Yum Thai in Belper, under the mill and the nearby Anila Indian restaurant. Both served excellent food.
