Town end barn is a lovely holiday cottage. It is in a small village that is perfect for exploring the Manifold Valley and the hills of the southern peak district. The barn is clean, spacious and great for families. The setting is wonderful and we’d love to come back when the weather is warmer! Overall, a great stay. Thanks.

Town End Barn is in a relaxing, peaceful location at the outskirts of the small village of Warslow. Hartington is a short drive away, there is plenty of walking on the doorstep and a local pub a 10-minute walk away. It is a beautiful spot, set in gorgeous grounds, with plenty of outdoor seating and beautiful views. The owners' property is close by and help and recommendations happily given - thank you Michelle - but privacy is always respected. The barn is clean and well equipped. The upstairs living room, accessed via a spiral staircase, is a particularly lovely space to relax. Comfortable and spacious. Its access (and the upstairs bedroom) is through the downstairs bedroom so the barn may not be appropriate for two couples. The kitchen is well equipped, adjoined by a small dining area. Laundry and drying facilities in a well equipped utility room. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely part of the world and relaxing, comfortable barn.

A wonderful barn conversion in an idyllic spot. Easy access around the Peaks District. Communication with the host Michelle was fantastic.

I cannot say enough about our hosts! Michelle and Tim were both nearby and very friendly- among the most accommodating we've known. Thank you both for your kindness. Town End Cottage (rightly named) provided everything we needed for an enjoyable stay plus privacy and views galore from the private garden! The only down side we found was the spiral staircase, although I think the downside was our age. A person who finds staircases a challenge anyway can sometimes have more difficulty with spirals. That may just be me, but do keep it in mind if anyone in your party has that trouble as the sitting room is upstairs. That said, the difficulty never kept either of us from doing what we wanted to do. By the same token we also found that we're a bit out of shape for the hiking the Peaks are famous for. However, driving through the Peaks and the shorter, less challenging walks were wonderful and made our stay all the more memorable. Thank you again, Michelle and Tim. You have a beautiful spot on earth! Carol B., Orlando, Fl

Michelle and Tim were perfect hosts, and provided a wonderful space in such a beautiful place. Thanks for making our week in the Peaks so comfortable and welcoming.

We stayed for 3 nights over New Year 2022. I stayed with my partner and 1 year old and it was so well suited for us. Michelle was amazing at communication, really quick responses etc and she asked where we would like the travel cot put up. She advised me on good places to eat and directions to local places. All very useful. In addition to this, there is lots of info in the cottage. The layout of the cottage is really good, as we found the open plan layout upstairs a great open space and actually think it would work well if staying with children. We found the cottage cosy and well equipped however felt like a cosy blanket would have also been nice on the sofas. Apart from that, I think the cottage had everything you would need. We loved the fire and spent our evenings playing games in front of it. It was very cosy. Michelle provides a bucket of logs, which did burn out very quickly and we did buy some more from the little grocery shop in Hartington to accommodate our three night stay. Walks locally are great, it was very wet and muddy when we stayed so we didn’t get very far from the cottage itself, however ventured down to the little bridge at the bottom of the field. We also explored Dovedale, and Wetton Mill on our travels. We really enjoyed our stay and will hopefully return again sometime soon.

Beautiful barn conversion surrounded by immaculately kept stunning gardens with uninterrupted views of the rolling countryside. A sunny or shady spot for any time of the day. A number of walks from the doorstep. Everything you need to self cater and very clean. Village pub serving good food a 10 minute walk, but make sure you book! Upstairs lounge and bedroom has access to the kitchen through the downstairs twin bedroom. Everything very cosy and comfortable, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
