We stayed at Merman Barn for 2 nights towards the end of July. We had the twin room which was lovely and clean and had an en-suite. The guest living room was wonderfully comfortable and the garden was very pretty. Breakfast was plentiful and very nice.
Linda and Andrew were welcoming hosts, and advised us on places to eat locally. The Red Lion in the nearby village of Litton is a lovely old style pub full of character, but is so popular that you need to book to eat there in the evening, however there are a number of places within Tideswell which serve food where booking is not necessary. The George does something a little special, whereby the meat is served raw on a (very) hot volcanic rock and you can let each piece cook to your personal preference.

“First class accomodation”
When we arrived Linda bought out tea and biscuits which we had in the garden. We had the king size room which was spacious with a nice en-suite. The whole place is kept immaculate and Linda & Andrew are wonderful hosts, nothing too much trouble should you need anything. Breakfast is very substantial and freshly cooked from a wide choice. In the room there is tea & coffee facilities ( replenished daily ) with a drinks chiller containing bottled water and milk.
Altogether a fantastic stay, we will return.

“Superb, friendly, excellent value, extremely clean, good location.”
This was my third visit to the Merman Barn. It is ideally situated for the Peak District and the village of Tideswell has the super church (Cathedral of the Peak) and several good pubs. Bakewell is 10 mintues away for very good restaurants.
The hosts, Linda and Andrew are wonderful and make one feel very welcome and are most accommodating. They maintain the house in immaculate condition and everything is extremely clean. Breakfast is very filling and extensive. The Merman Barn is ideal for walkers/ramblers. I love satying there and shall return again next year.

“Great place to stay”
2
people found this review helpful
On arrival we were greeted by Andrew and served with tea and biscuits.Can recommend breakfast good idea having printed menu to choose your choice the night before,and what a great choice! Our room was kept very clean with a good range of complementary toiletries.For eating out we found the George and the Horse and Jockey were ok,but the Red Lion at Litton is the best place to eat but needs to be booked.Overall we had a great stay at Mermanbarn,Linda and Andrew are great hosts.

“First class accommodation and would thoroughly recommend it.”
We were made welcome from the start. The accommodation was very clean and well presented. We had a wonderful stay, Linda & Andrew are to be complimented on thier establishment, it is friendly, comfortable, quiet and clean with excellent breakfasts, we wanted for nothing. It is so good to meet a couple that are so easy to get along with, it seemed as if we had known you for years. This is also an ideal location for exploring the Peak District, we will definately be returning in the future.
