About this house rental
The Hay Barn is a detached barn on the edge of Alstonefield village . It is surrounded by fields and often the only noise is birds singing and sheep bleating . In the evening the owls can be heard and if you are lucky spotted gliding over the fields . At night we have amazing dark sky's.
Up to two medium size dogs are very welcome . We have a fenced and gated garden .
The accomodation is cosy and comfortable and comprises 2 bedrooms ,a double and a twin (the single beds can be converted to a queen size bed) a bathroom , separate toilet, kitchen and lounge . There is a log burner in the lounge for those colder evenings .The kitchen has recently been updated so boasts a new cooker , induction hob, fridge freezer and dishwasher. The views from the lounge and kitchen are fabulous. The washer is in a separate room underneath the main accomodation where there is also an extra freezer and room to leave bikes safely.
There are many ,many wonderful walks from the property taking in Mill Dale, Dovedale , Wolfscote Dale, Thors cave and the Manifold trail to name just a few local beauty spots . Popular villages within a short drive include Hartington which has local food shops, a cheese shop, gift shops, tearooms and pubs , Ilam with its National trust Hall and the cottages reminiscent of the Swiss Alps, and Tideswell with its beautiful church known as the cathedral of the peaks. The towns of Ashbourne , Buxton , Bakewell and Leek are all worth a visit and usually there is some festival or market happening in one or other of them . The well dressings happen throughout the summer in various local villages , Tissington being the closest . Stately homes nearby include Haddon Hall, Chatsworth, Sudbury and Kedleston.
There are 3 local cycle trails the tissington , high peak and Manifold trails , all have cycle hire .
For children there is the Peak Wildlife park and matlock farm park within 30 minute drive.
For thrill seekers Alton Towers is 30 minutes drive away . There is also splash landings at the Alton Towers hotels which is open to the public.
There is a go ape aerial adventure in buxton.
And after all that walking , siteseeing and adventure just sit in the private garden with a glass of wine and enjoy the peace ,quiet and views of green fields and trees . Beautiful .

We had the best time. Such a beautiful location. So peaceful and the cottage was very well equipped and lovely and clean.

This cottage is a peaceful retreat amidst rolling hills, perfect for quiet rest but close to all locations you might like to visit. Claire and Jon are excellent hosts - the cottage is clean and well equipped with all you need. The garden behind the cottage is a beautiful private spot with a fence - would be great for small kids or dogs. Beautiful walks, pubs and coffee places nearby. We would definitely stay here again.

Cosy stay in a beautiful area of Peak District. Hosts were welcoming and helpful. Kitchen was well equipped for us to cook some meals and beds were comfortable. Lots of lovely walk options nearby.

This accommodation was one of the nicest and cleanest we have rented so far. A lovely welcome of cakes waiting for us, along with tea, coffee, sugar, salt and pepper, which was appreciated. The kitchen seemed new. The views were lovely and more so from the garden. The bedding and towels were lovely and fragrant and a good pack was provided with restaurants and suggested walking routes. Internet did not work in bedroom so maybe a booster would help. Would definitely stay again.
