Perfect staycation with our dog. Lots of walks, pub right up the road and a lovely walk to buxton- lots of pubs and a bus ride home. The annex was beautifully styled. Small enclosed garden attached too, handy for the dog.

This was our 4th stay at Swallow Barn . Everything was superb as usual as it is the perfect accommodation and location for us and Ernie when taking a walking break in the Peak District. That’s why we will continue to keep coming back. The owners...

Quiet, clean, and well equipped. Close to Buxton and to lots of hike trails to enjoy Peak District. It is a small and green place to enjoy a real vacation. Lots of maps and local trip recommendations. Roof windows light the apartment throughout...

A beautiful conversion from a farm building, full of character, well equipped, in a quiet village. Well located for Buxton, Bakewell and lovely country walks.

Great village location, nice and cool in the summer heat but also able to get some sun on the patio. Very clean and has all the facilities needed for a self catering break. Nice walks available from the door.

Lovely self catering holiday cottage in the heart of the Peak District National Park. Open plan layout in a converted barn, light and airy with French windows opening onto private flagged patio. Sleeps 2, one double bed. Full kitchen facilities and ensuite shower room. South facing, the property is approached from the road by a private walled path with adjacent roadside parking. The dining/lounge area has a beamed ceiling which goes up to the rafters, wooden floor and comfortable seating. One corner is occupied by a well-equipped kitchen. An archway leads into the bedroom, with en-suite shower room. The accommodation is all on one level and offers everything you need for a relaxing holiday. TV, Bluetooth radio, free wifi, secure cycle storage, lots of maps, brochures and books on places to visit. One well behaved pet dog welcome (two small ones by arrangement). Short breaks available. Dining pub 5 minutes walk. EV charging point on site.
The owners live 'over the garden wall' so guests have complete privacy but there is someone on hand if needed.
Set in the attractive quiet village of Chelmorton, surrounded by superb walking country with numerous footpaths in every direction. Lovely quiet lanes and traffic-free trails for cycling, with several cycle hire centres nearby. Within easy reach of several historic houses including Chatsworth, Sudbury Hall and Haddon Hall. The market towns of Buxton and Bakewell are close by, with numerous restaurants and shops. A traditional village pub (which welcomes dogs) serving food is just 5 minutes walk away.
