Yet another brilliant stay at Cowclose Barn, my 5th I believe.  A beautiful location and wonderful hosts.  The weather was not in our favour but we still got out and enjoyed the area.  Thank you!

We booked both cottages for 5 days for a family holiday.  Cottages were both very clean and tidy and had everything we needed as a family on holiday.  Lovely location, not far to travel for anything.  Lots of information packs around the cottage.  Very comfortable stay, Thank You.

What a wonderful cottage. The welcome basket was a lovely touch.  We enjoyed the homemade cake and especially the wine after our 5 hour drive.

The children lovely playing in the garden and our youngest was fascinated by the cows at the gate.  This is a perfect place for exploring the local area (Peak District).

We’ve had a wonderful week, almost entirely dry and warm. Thank you for a super welcome Barbara. We’ve walked up Stanage Edge and Mam Tor. We cycled the Monsal Trail, enjoyed visits to Chatsworth, Bakewell, Linacre Reservoirs and the Heights of Abraham. Thanks for a great week.

A perfect spot with some great walks directly from the front door. A lovely cottage that worked well for us to drop our son at Sheffield Uni and allow us the opportunity to explore the wonderful Peaks.
Suspect over the next 3 years we will be coming here quite a bit.

Been coming here every year for the last 11 years and stayed in both The Swallows and The Robins. A real home from home and Barbara and Allan make me feel so welcome . There are always new things to go and see. Bakewell, Castleton, Chatsworth, Matlock Bath, Padley Gorge, Monsal Head, Chesterfield, Snake Pass, Hassop, Baslow Edge, to name but a few.
Will be back next year.

Allan and Barbara welcomed us on arrival. Lovely tarts and wine.
Had a lovely relaxing weekend, lovely clean accommodation and everything we needed. Barbara is on hand if needed with plenty of recommendations. Would highly recommend The Peacock at Barlow – great food and ambiance.
