That is what it was from the moment we arrived. Our third visit to Orchard Farm staying in both barns . This time Tom's Barn was our choice for our short break. The snow came and made the countryside even more magical but inside all warm and cosy by the logburning stove. Marion and John were the perfect hosts and... More

We have just returned from a week's holiday at Orchard Farm. From the vases (yes, I do vases) of fresh flowers to the welcome tray of of freshly baked cakes to go with your aprés arrival tea or coffee, to the home-made marmalade for your breakfast toast (and the loaf is also provided) to the fabulously comfortable bed and the...

We have just returned from our first week at Tom's Barn, and within 2 days had booked another week later in the year, this time giving Douglas's Barn a try. Orchard Farm is the perfect location for a relaxed cottage break surrounded by beautiful, peaceful countryside. Yet the "mod cons" of Ashbourne, Matlock, Bakewell and Buxton are nearby, and the...

We booked a short break in Douglas's Barn based on a review in one of the Sunday papers, and could not have made a better choice! Marion and John are fantastic hosts, without ever intruding, and the cottage has absolutely everything you could wish for in a country cottage. The quality of the furnishings and appliances are second to none,... More

We spent a wonderful relaxed week at Douglas's Barn over Christmas. The Barn is welcoming, cozy and nothing has been overlooked. It's situated in a stunning location with plenty of exploring to be done around the area but some days we were quite happy to stay in and relax in a home from home. The Netbook is a great idea...

Wonderful accommodation. Very relaxing, kitted out to extremely high standard. Very attentive hosts, (good luck with the new camera John). Tripadvisor score very well deserved. See you both soon. More

I'm really only echoing what the other reviews say in so much as this place is wonderful! A real home from home-very cosy and welcoming. From the moment we arrived (to beautiful cake I might add!) my thoughts of normality disappeared and I was able to immediately relax-how nice to hear nothing apart from the occasional Owl or Pheasant?! From... More

I really can't add much to what has already been said, so will just confirm that Tom's Barn is as fantastic as everyone else has stated. We were so comfortable when we returned from a packed day of activities (this is a perfect location for walking, cycling and visiting the plethora of castles and stately homes) that we didn't even...
