The cottage offers walking and cycling right from the doorstep, and within a 5-minute drive there are trials for walking, cycling and horse riding, and within 15 minutes is the Crich Tramway Museum. Little Barn is located next to the villages of Higham and Wessington where you will find country pubs serving food and real ale. Close by is Hardwick Hall, built in the 1590s by ’Bess of Hardwick’, the second most powerful woman in England after Queen Elizabeth I. The Hall, and even its original tapestries and textiles, have survived unaltered for four centuries, and it is now open to the public by the National Trust. Near the estate’s original water mill, still in operation and open to visitors, is the Hardwick Inn, also built in the 16th century, probably by the masons who built the hall.

For a nostalgic journey back in time through the Derbyshire countryside take a trip on one of Peak Rails steam engines, or visit Cromford Canal and take a trip into the past on an historic narrow boat.

Close by is Teversal, a small village in Nottinghamshire which is surrounded by the Teversal Trail Visitors Centre, offering great access to the Teversal and Pleasley Trails network, perfect for enjoying a variety of walks and cycle routes. Visit the famous Crooked Spire in Chesterfield, Gulliver’s Kingdom in Matlock or for thrill seekers, Alton Towers theme park.

Had a wonderful Christmas break at Little Barn. Beautiful & relaxing setting and the accommodation is warm, clean & cosy with everything you could need. Liz & Phil really make you feel welcome and do everything they can to make your stay perfect.

We have had a fantastic two nights stay at Little barn. Liz is so friendly and welcoming, the perfect hostess. She met us at the gate and showed us where everything was. Phil also came to say hello and check if we had everything, which we certainly did. Liz also sent me a menu for the local golf club restaurant. We didnt leave the property as we just needed to relax and have a break from life for a few days. The view from the cottage is beautiful, we also had fantastic weather. We were visited by the cockerel and Rosie the dog, both very friendly and inquisitive. The cottage is beautiful, with everything we needed and a fabulous welcome basket and milk of our choice, plus fresh eggs laid that morning. We both had the best nights sleep in a long time. We will definitely be returning to Little Barn and highly recommend.

Really lovely cottage. Hosts Liz and Phil lovely, very friendly, gave us a very warm welcome. Only one niggle, and that is since they offer the cottage as dog friendly we think the cottage garden should be fenced. Dogs had to be kept on lead at all times, as there was no area on the farm to safely allow your dog freedom for comfort breaks or to play. But otherwise excellent. Would go again if garden fenced.

A compact beautiful cottage for anyone wanting to relax in a very pretty rural setting. The hosts were welcoming and extremely helpful.
