Steal away for a romantic retreat in the Heart of England, exploring the beautiful Peak District and returning home to luxury surroundings at the end of each day. Happily sleeping two in cosy surroundings, this property provides an ideal bolthole for those looking to get away. Whether you’re set to explore the gritstone edges, hike or bike some of the Peak District’s most scenic routes or perhaps just enjoy day trips to English heritage spots, this property puts all attractions within close reach. You’ll also find a handful of local pubs 2 miles away in Barlow, perfect for those who don’t fancy cooking on their holiday.

Thoughtfully updated and lovingly restored, this Grade II-listed property has been modernised with a sleek contemporary style and yet retains plenty of stunning original features. Sit underneath the vaulted ceilings and original oak beams when relaxing in the living room or catching forty winks in the galleried king-size bedroom. The ground floor is open plan with a wood burner in the lounge area, creating a cosy atmosphere for the perfect winter night in. Luxury touches including a Nespresso machine, fluffy white robes and a music system elevate your stay, along with the welcome pack of goodies (including home-baked cake) left out for your arrival.

Just 2 miles from the village of Barlow and 1 mile to the edge of the Peak District National Park, the location of this property couldn’t be more enviable. The nearest of the famous edges, Curbar Edge, is just 4 miles away and a great spot for joining the challenging Nine Edge Hike. A less challenging day out can be found on the banks of the River Derwent (5 miles), perfect for fishing or waterside walks. You’ll also find the beautiful stately homes of Haddon Hall (10.5 miles) and Chatsworth House (5.5 miles) close by and well worth a visit.

We really enjoyed our stay at Cruck Barn. Its in a lovely location with stunning views out across the valley. Lounge/kitchen area was very comfortable and was a great area to relax. Lots of amazing places to visit locally with excellent walks to enjoy. We had the best meal at the Peacock at Cutthorpe and Hackney House coffee shop at the end of the Read moreroad serve great food. Thank you for our treats and delicious cake. Hide

My partner and I had a great time. Lovely cottage! There is a lot of love and care in every detail. Everything was perfect, and the cake, milk, fruit, and bread were such a sweet, heart-warming surprise. A truly special stay in the Peak District

The cottage was absolutely gorgeous and unique in it's inside design. The view from upstairs window was fantastic as cottage high up from the village of Barlow approx one and half miles down the road. It does say in the write-up that the pubs here are within walking distance. If you very fit they are but at night it's very dark country road walk baRead moreck and all uphill which not pleasant after a meal/drink for older people. Not a problem taking the car.
