Stanley Barn is a snug retreat for up to 4 plus pets in the centre of a beautiful thriving village and on the doorstep of gorgeous walks. With its wood-burning stove, and exposed beams, Stanley Barn dates back over 200 years and is the perfect base for exploring Tideswell and the stunning countryside that surrounds it, whilst relaxing in peace and quiet after a day out. It's entirely possible to park your car for a whole week, and do seven beautiful walks, ending at seven different pubs! The space This cosy detached barn is ideal for up to four, with a double room, plus two single beds for older children or athletic adults on an open mezzanine. Accessed on the first floor by a flight of stone steps, the charming living room is kept toasty by a wood-burning stove set in a gritstone fireplace, where you can relax with comfy double settees, a new Smart TV with DVD, free WiFi, board games and of course plenty of books. The modern and stylish downstairs bathroom has a high-quality shower, toilet and sink. Up a few steps from the living room is an open plan kitchen-diner with a cooker, microwave, toaster, kettle, coffee maker, washing machine and fridge. A pine dining table seats up to 5 people comfortably and there is a DAB radio and HiFi with Bluetooth and mini-jack inputs. Approached up a separate staircase from the kitchen, the beautiful main bedroom has exposed beams and skylight window, a comfortable pine double bed, antique dresser and wardrobe and an en-suite toilet and washbasin. A second small sleeping space is on a mezzanne accessed from the kitchen. Ideal for older children who are confident in climbing a short ladder, the bedroom has two single beds (one is full size, the other 2ft 6ins by 6ft long) and a gate with a latch. Note there is a very low beam in this room! Guest access There is dedicated off-road parking for one car. Tideswell is connected to Bakewell and other local areas by bus; however a car is essential to get around reliably. We are located in the centre of the village, with everything within a short walk. Three pubs, a butcher, a greengrocers, a book shop, three cafes, two fish & chop shops, a baker, plus a small co-op are less than 5 minutes away!
