Lovely property in an amazing location :-)

This place is lovely and in an absolute perfect location, we love the Peak District and we were very lucky as the weather was amazing fir this time of year. The only thing that stopped me giving this property 5* is that its a late check in at 5pm (would have expected around 3pm) and a very early check out at 9:30am. Normal check outs for such a late check in would be around 10:30am/11am

Lovely stay

Lively stay, the property has everything you could need for a nice break in the high peaks. We were a bit last minute in booking so our direct interaction with the property manager was minimal but we were warmly welcomed upon arrival. The view are excellent from the property and some great walks/hike right on the door step no need to drive. To comfort level in the property is fantastic and the bee is a proper bed …. Unlike the rocks you get in chain hotels. Only bit of critical feed back is to watch out for the door handle latch in the bathroom it sticks out a bit and the space between that and the bed is not a lot and I caught my arm on it a few time which did hurt and left a bruise. But will defo be looking to book in for next year!!

Owner Chris met us on arrival, very welcoming and gave us great info regarding walks. Lovely welcome pack and freshly home baked scones - thank you Tanya. Cottage was very comfortable, clean and nicely furnished . Everything we needed. We ate at Old Hall and Cheshire Cheese pub, both very enjoyable.

A Wonderful Stay

We just finished spending a week in The Acorn. Upon arrival we met Chris, the owner. He was very friendly and provided a lot of local information on groceries, dining, etc. The Acorn is one of two apartments in the old barn. It was immaculate and cozy. The kitchen was well appointed with a variety of cooking and dining utensils. The apartment was true to the photos on the website. This is definitely 1st class accommodation in the Peak District. If you are visiting the Hope Valley I would absolutely recommend The Acorn!

A comfortable property in an excellent position for walking the dales and exploring the local region

We greatly enjoyed our few days in ‘Acorn’ a comfortable property for the two of us with everything we could need in a home from home. Chris met us on arrival with some of Tanya’s freshly cooked scones, the couple are extremely friendly and helpful. We spent a day walking in the hills around the property, it was a real bonus to be able to leave and return to the barn without any journey to reach our route. But we were also able to explore all the pretty Derbyshire villages and to spend a day in Sheffield within a very short car journey. All in all an excellent property that we can wholeheartedly recommend. We look forward to returning in the future.

5 Star stay in Hope Valley

The Barn is beautiful, stylishly furnished and decorated & very warm and cosy. It's also very peaceful but only a 10 minute walk into Hope Village for pubs, restaurants and a few little shops. The freshly baked bread and warm scones on arrival were a really nice touch and very much enjoyed after a long journey. There are some great walks of varying difficulty directly from the cottage. Plenty of parking and good facilities for washing and hosing down mud covered walking gear. A couple of days we were there were really too wet to walk but it was lovely just to chill out in the really comfortable cottage. Would definitely recommend and I'm sure we'll be back in the future

Wonderful Acorn Cottage

We had a fantastic week staying at The Acorn Cottage. On our arrival we were warmly greeted by Tanya and Chris who made us feel very welcome while we unpacked the car and took delivery of our shopping. They explained a few things to us and left us to enjoy our stay, but told us that they would be there for us if we required anything and could contact Chris on his mobile if needed too. Inside the Cottage we were spoilt by a lovely welcome pack from Chris & Tanya too which was very much appreciated. The Cottage is 1st class and very well equipped, we wanted for nothing. It is very comfortable and cosy too. It is ideally sited for some great walks and exploration of the area. The first couple of days of our stay we had a good blanket of snow which made everything all the more magical and scenic. It was always lovely to come back to the Cottage after one of our adventures to a nice hot shower and it’s comfortable furniture. We had some great meals cooked in the kitchen and also ate out too during our stay. The washing machine in the boiler house was also a nice touch to keep your clothes clean. We would highly recommend a stay here in this luxury Cottage, we didn’t want to go home at the end of our week, it is so nice ++++++ Thank you Aron & Gail

Exklusive ruhige Ferienwohnung

Wir hatten 3 sehr schöne Tage im Acorn. Es ist sehr anspruchsvoll eingerichtet. Nachts ist es sehr ruhig, obwohl es an einer Straße liegt. Chris u Tanja sind sehr freundlich u ermöglichen Sonderwünsche, zB ein Zustellbett, da wir uns einfach nicht an die englischen durchgehenden Matrazen in den Doppelbetten gewöhnen können. Es gibt kurze Wanderungen in Castleton u natürlich längere herrliche übers Land. Total schön!
