Fletchers Barn, Alderwasley

This is a lovely cosy cottage with off road parking. Very clean and equipped with all the essentials. Ruth very obliging and met us once we had arrived. Heating programmer explained as we were there in winter period, and log burner,so not cold. Milk, wine, tea and coffee and flowers on arrival. The double beds are king size and comfortable. Very quiet even though a working farm. The Bear publick house has good ale and good food. Best to book for food and a quiz on Monday nights. It's left out of the gate but is a moderate climb if walking and is a mile and a half and will take about 30 minutes. Made very welcome. Denby pottery a short drive away with a farm shop just across. Wirksworth is a short drive, and has a good selection of local stores, and Walkers, the butcher's worth a visit. Although his shop lease is up at the end of January 2024 he is making alternative arrangements and not retiring he says when asked. Matlock a short drive away as is the town of Belper. Ruth very helpful and on hand should the need arise. All in all a great place to stay.

We had a much needed three night break. Despite the weather being dire, it was just what the doctor ordered. Comfortable and well-equipped. Ruth was very friendly and welcoming. Fruit, milk and wine left for us on arrival. In some self catering places you have to take your own tea towels and toilet rolls, not here. Plenty are supplied. The log burner made it like home from home. We had no problem turning the heating on or off according to the temperature. I didn't even miss having a dishwasher as we ate ready meals every night! Take your time on the narrow road, you will encounter tractors and possibly even an articulated lorry. Would definitely return.

Lovely cottage. It was a great base for us to explore the Peak District with our two kids, aged 6 and 8. There’s a decked area out the back which gets full sun in the morning and another seating area in the front which gets the sun in the afternoon. The cottage is on a working farm and we enjoyed sometimes looking out to see the cows and sheep looking in at us! Ruth was very friendly and helpful. The woods across the road are a lovely place for a local walk. Would definitely recommend.

Definitely :) stayed as two couples, a beautiful cottage well furnished, lovely comfortable beds high end bedding, lovely touch with the wine and fruit thank you, every thing you could possibly need for self catering WiFi and tv and CD player, the owners are lovely and helpful. Two seating areas outside with lovely views of the cows and sheep grazing, a games room however that could do with a sort out but not an issue, we had a game of pool and darts, two bedrooms one upstairs massive with room for a cot, the downstairs one next to the wet room could easily fit wheelchair in, shower curtain in wet room could do with changing however not an issue, towels are provided along with hairdryer, ironing board and fans if needed, washing machine, fridge with small freezer compartment but extra freezer in the games room, there is a wood burner and radiators set on a timer, the cottage was lovely warm and cosy. Great as a base for cyclists or like us with a car to explore the Peak District, excellent farm shop not far excellent quality meat and poultry fresh eggs. We had a meal at the Bulls head which is not far from the cottage, was lovely. We felt very comfortable and would definitely stay again. Thank you for making us feel so welcome

Well placed property, very close to the Peak District National Park, we were warmly welcomed by Ruth after booking at very short notice. A bottle of wine and milk was a lovely touch and much appreciated, as was the very comfortable, very well stocked accommodation. A huge double bed upstairs, with a second double bedroom downstairs, next to the wet room. Everything was provided, even the crockery matched! We found the attractive property very warm and comfortable. If the weather permits, there is a choice of two seating areas immediately outside, offering sun at all times of day and lovely views of the nearby fields where the cows graze. The games room is well provided with pool table and leaflets of the local area, including very useful maps. All in all, a wonderful stay in a place we felt lucky to discover. I’m sure we’ll be back.

Brilliant cottage, great location, owner very nice. Hope to go again. Well maintained, nice and clean, good quality internet (important for us as our phones just wouldn't get a signal there).

Beautifully set up inside and out, with everything you could possibly need. Extremely comfortable and everything in the cottage is high quality. Located in a lovely part of Derbyshire. Ruth and David are fabulous. Thank you!

This was our second visit to Fletchers Barn. We had a brilliant stay once again. The owners were lovely and helpful. We will be back again.

Very helpful owner. Lovely property with excellent walks straight from the door. A high standard property that I would recommend to anyone.

We are very happy, it was a great all round experience. We are hoping to book again in the summer.

This was my second visit to Fletchers Barn. It's set in a lovely rural location on a working farm, with plenty of walks, some straight from the front door, and is central to all attractions. The owner and her family are truly welcoming and always on hand if there are any problems. The Barn has everything you would ever need for a nice relaxing stay, and was clean and comfortable. I have recommended Fletchers Barn to all my friends and family and will always go back there for a lovely relaxing holiday.

A beautiful comfy cottage! An amazingly wonderful place to stay!

We enjoyed everything; the property was very cosy, the bedrooms were a good size and we loved the size and comfort of the beds. The pool table in the Barn was an added bonus. There were plenty of books to read, also games and puzzles. The owner was very helpful and friendly.

We had a great stay in Fletchers Barn with our family. Very roomy bedrooms, Kitchen had plenty of crockery etc. In the next barn was a pool table which we all had great fun playing. ideal for all as the wet room and one bedroom are downstairs. Hope to return some day. thanks for a great stay

The cottage owner was friendly, and the cottage was warm and cosy. Everything we needed was in the cottage, beautiful location and settings.

My family and I had a wonderful stay. The accommodation was lovely and we were very relaxed. The owner was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay again and would thoroughly recommend to anyone who would like a relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings, with easy access to the Peaks.

We had a fantastic holiday. We loved everything about Fletchers Barn; from the lovely welcome gifts on arrival to the super comfy beds. We particularly liked Ziggy the horse in the field behind the cottage. The pool table and dart board was a big hit with our children.

A beautiful property in fantastic surroundings - very peaceful. Everything was very well catered for and we had a lovely welcome from the owner - flowers, fruit and bottle of wine was a lovely gift on arrival. So much to do in the area and everywhere within distance from the property. We would highly recommend Fletchers Barn to all our family and friends. We cant wait to return next year.

The Barn was lovely, very well equipped for purpose. Very friendly and helpful owner. We would certainly come again.

Great hospitality. Lovely accommodation. Very warm welcome on arrival the owners had left us nice little extras ie. bottle of wine, fruit, flowers, nothing was to much trouble. Lovely location to explore the Peak District and surrounding areas. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend Fletcher Barn.

It was great accommodation. It was an absolute pleasure to meet the owner. She went above and beyond to ensure that we had a great vacation - providing us with all the basics as well as maps for hiking and a tour of the working farm. It was a wonderful place to stay and we will recommend it to others.

A fantastic cottage! Clean and very well equipped, the kitchen was great! There was lots of lovely bedding and good hot water and heating with some lovely touches on arrival that made it feel very special. A friendly host that showed us everything we needed and then let us get on with a relaxing holiday! I think this place is really lovely and would go there again!

Lovely well equipped detached rural holiday cottage with modern fittings in an old farm building. Very quiet, warm and comfortable. The owners live across the yard and were friendly and helpful but not at all intrusive. We enjoyed using the pool table and exploring the local area.

Fletcher's Barn was wonderful, warm and cosy for when we arrived home after a day's walking. Amenities were excellent - a real home away from home.
