"We visited the cow shed for our first anniversary and couldn't have been happier with our choice. We arrived to a warm welcome from Tony, very helpful lovely chap! The little extras in the room were such a lovely touch and made our stay all the more special. The bed was so comfy, the hot tub a great perk! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!"

"The road to the Cowshed is TERRIBLE deep pot holes for about half a mile so BEWARE!. I am AMAZED how cars are supposed to go on to this road! Even to dangerous for the cows. Once we arrived at the Cowshed it was ok, hot tub lovely after a hard days walking. The Cowshed had everything you would need on holiday. The owner Tony was really nice and nothing was to much trouble. Sleeping, eating, watching TV in one room was not really what we wanted but maybe we should have read the description more intensely?

"Had a great stay here. The owners are very approachable and pleasant. Really lovely location and buildings, with everything 2 people would need for a stay away. A few 'extras' are thrown in for your arrival, which are well received. Exclusive use of a hot tub is fantastic. The walk into the village will keep you fit (!) and The Bulls Head serves great food and great beer. The location offers a number of great walks and there are a lot of things to do /places to visit within a 10 mile radius. We'll be back :-)"

"I'm a cyclist and runner, my wife likes dragging me around small towns and villages. This made the Cow Sheds location the perfect base for us both. It's small yes, but beautifully finished and so comfortable. Every evening after a morning on the bike and an afternoon around one of the lovely local towns (Haddon Hall is WELL worth a visit btw and that's not usually my cup of tea at all) I jumped in the hot tub with a beautiful view over the hills, with a book and totally forgot that I have to go back to work next week. And I've not slept better for years. Super comfy bed, super quiet, super sleep. Youlgrave is a five minute walk away and naturally we tried all three pubs, couldn't fault any of them, next time I won't be missing 'Pie Night' in the Farmyard either. Walking /running along the riverside is a pleasure and the locals all seem very friendly too. The owner Tony is an absolute top man and couldn't be more helpful, I'll give him back the pint of milk I owe him when I return, which I most definitely will, probably in the Cow Barn with the rest of my brood. If you're outdoorsy and like peace and quiet, comfort and a hill or 50 to bike/walk/run up then this is the place for you. Highly recommended. "

"My husband and I came here on our mini-moon. Absolutely charming place. Fantastic setting. Beautiful little studio apartment, but well equipped with everything you could need. One of the best features for me is that the owners had thought of all of those 'finishing' touches that make a place feel warm and cosy. From the curtains and blinds, the toiletries in the bathroom and the chocolate just about everywhere we looked! (much appreciated btw haha) Hot tub was great. Just made our stay even more perfect. We're already wanting to book again but for the summer time! The only thing I would say is to take a torch I you're planning on visiting the pubs in the village after dark. The track is pitch black and a bit wobbly in places :-)"

"We arrived at the cow shed and were met with a clean, well-equipped studio cottage which we noticed the pictures online do not adequately do justice to. We found the decor in the Cow Shed to be modern but with a vintage feel to it, keeping it's traditional look. The inside of the cottage contained many lovely little touches including complimentary sweets/prosecco/biscuits/tea/coffee/milk/dvds and even fresh eggs from the owner's hens. The owner Tony was a great help, both informative and very friendly, anything we needed he was quick to assist with (coal for bbq,ironing board, matches and cooking oil). The hot tub was very clean and romantic with the beautiful surroundings of the Peak District. Lots of walks and sights to see nearby. The bed was a beautiful vintage feature which was extremely comfortable. There was lots of storage space for clothes etc.The only negatives of our stay would be a large amount of wasps nearby (which we understand couldn't be helped but should be looked into incase of nests) and lastly we felt the studio cottage was really hot even though we had turned off any heating, which we later discovered from the owner himself there was underfloor heating set at a temperature of 20 degrees. We felt this was set too high.Overall we had a fantastic,welcoming experience that we will cherish and will certainly be returning and recommending to all relatives and friends!! Thank you for having us and allowing us to celebrate a fantastic 21st & 22nd birthday all in one :)"
