We first stayed at the Old Hay Barn a few years ago and now return every summer. We really look forward to our holiday there. The scenery is magnificent with local walks through the Dales and the recently opened railway tunnels. We are always made very welcome. The accommodation is very spacious, well equipped and clean. The full English breakfast... More

I wont repeat all the other positives of the other reviews but this this little B&B is beautiful! Sitting in the back garden of the barn is so tranquil & serene overlooking a beautiful lake.

Just back today from a wonderful 2 day stay...For the modest price this truly is superb accommodation - the pictures really don't accurately portray just how stunning the location is and the standard of interior is equally high. The host was friendly and helpful without being intrusive and having booked both rooms it felt much more like an apartment than... More

We have just returned from a weekend at the Old Hay Barn and can highly recommend it. Iain was a very welcoming host who was happy to share his knowledge of the area and helped to make our stay in Derbyshire as full and active as possible. The suite of rooms was charming and had the most comfortable bed we... More

We stayed at the Old Hay Barn for two nights and found it a very relaxing experience. Very friendly owner, Iain, excellent facilities and good for visiting Chatsworth and Haddon Hall.

We spent two nights at the old hay barn,very nice B@B. Very nice room, excellant view from bedroom window,lovely garden again with stunning view.

Stunning views over the river, was made to feel very welcome, Had a slight problem finding the entrance, as you pass the parked cars on the right, the entrance is on the left within ten foot! At night it can be missed , we did.

Everything about our experience at The Old Hay Barn was excellent ----- from the easy booking process, excellent directions to the B&B, friendly welcome, beautiful room, great food, and amazingly picturesque location. Perfect!
