Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

This was basic accommodation with no frills. Ideal if you are just looking for something very basic to sleep and spending the evening in. Everything was clean and tidy on arrival. The kitchen had everything if you wanted to self cater for yourselves. The only person I spoke to during my stay was a stable hand. I never meet the owner. I would be happy to stay here in the future.

Owners made us feel very welcome. Easy distance to Matlock. Milk and biscuits on arrival much appreciated. Will certainly try to come back again.

Had a fantastic week away with my 11 year old daughter. The location of this cottage provides a perfect base to explore what Derbyshire has to offer and there are so many things on the doorstep that there is no need to travel far. I lived in Matlock in the mid 70s but moved back to the North East of England in '79 so I know the area quite well hence the reason of picking a cottage in this location.
The cottage itself was perfect for our needs as dogs are allowed and the flooring is mainly wood with one part of it made out of stone so any muck dragged in on feet and paws is easily cleaned. I could describe the whole cottage room by room but cant see the point as there is a good description and photos available but I can say that it is extremely homely and warm with lovely vaulted ceilings and lots of mood lighting. there is no need to take anything when you come to stay as everything you could need for comfort is provided . All rooms are spacious, airy and tastefully decorated. The bathroom is a full wetroom so again it is very practical and easy to maintain. We thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay here and will be boking up for next year so I can highly recommend this property should you be looking to stay in the Matlock area.
The property owners run the farm on which the cottage is located and they were perfect hosts, very amiable and happy to chat at any time night or day.
So to recap...we loved this cottage so if you are tempted by a break in Derbyshire then you definitely wont be disappointed

The Barn Owl Cottage is really lovely - a great location and very clean and well looked after, we had a great trip. It was a bit of shame not to have the lovely four poster bed in the main room, as per the photos on the website, but in general we loved our stay and would definitely recommend. Alexandra was really helpful and communication was great!

Myself, husband and two family friends recently booked a two night stay at Barn Owl Cottage, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Located on a working farm and just off the beaten track nestled between the rolling green fields, it was the perfect place to unwind. Extremely comfortable with all the kitchen gadgets you need for a self catering break, if you don’t want to indulge in the wide choice of places to eat locally. Matlock Bath a short drive away has a very large choice of fish and chip shops cooking fresh to order, alternatively a 15 minute stroll into Cromford past the canal and down the windey country lanes you can enjoy some tasty home cooking at The Boat Inn.
Ideal for guests with one dog, the outdoor courtyard is handy for eating outdoors and space for your dog to explore, although we would recommend a ground spike and extendable lead for dogs who really like to go exploring and making friends with the hens (when you aren’t watching).
Alexandria is a super warm host and nothing is to much trouble. A bottle of wine awaited us on arrival which was a very nice and unexpected touch. The cottage is much bigger than the photos show and following its restoration has maintained some of its beautiful and original features including exposed beams and stonework (a reminder you of the buildings origins).
The only negative (but wouldn’t stop us from returning) is the front bedroom is under another cottage and can get slightly noisy from guests above. Again this wouldn’t put us off from returning.
We can’t wait to come back, but for longer next time.

Lovely cottage and friendly owner. Think it needs more general instructions for using cooker etc and what to do with rubbish. For us the sofas were too low (we are a bit creaky though)

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Peak District. We only had a weekend so it was more of a taster visit, but we had a really good time, loved Cromford, Bakewell and Matlock and a visit to the country park in Buxton. There was so much more to do & see. We loved the location of the cottage but we could have done with better and clearer instructions on where to park on arrival, we were asked to move after we arrived but didn’t know where we supposed to be! Also, future visitors need to be aware that they will have to bring all supplies with them as there is nothing provided - not even salt & pepper! There was however, a bottle of wine.
