Guestbook
The following comments are taken straight from the guestbook we keep for Swallow Barn. Verbatim.
Charlotte stayed in November '24
We had a lovely stay in Monyash, it's a charming cottage with beautiful walks on the doorstep. The rooms are all of a good size and have en suites, although the central ensuite is shared on either side by two bedrooms.
Helen stayed in October '24
Beautiful conversion / property and ideal for large family gatherings, Being only 3 minute walk from a cosy pub and surrounded by wonderful walks ideal for families and dogs. Only thing we were not keen on were a large number of signs all over the premises reminding you to take shoes off, no dogs upstairs etc. also would suggest itinerary accurate i.e minimal washing up liquid, not 6 x tea towels as advised and only 3 partly burned logs in log basket among other things, that said did not detract from the lovely stay we had. Kitchen was where we spent the whole time and ideally set up as the hub of the house - lovely time had by all!
Michael stayed in October '24
Great place to stay
Catherine stayed in October '24
Swallow Barn is a fantastic holiday venue in a great location. We were a group of 9 and the accommodation was more than adequate. One of our party has limited mobility so the downstairs ensuite bedroom was perfect. The kitchen was fully equipped and had everything we needed . There was so much space which we didn't utilise as the kitchen and snug were the perfect place to party. Unfortunately the village pub was shut during our stay but the Royal Oak in Hurdlow served good pub food. An absolute must if staying in Moynash is Tagg lane dairy .The homemade gelato was worth the 30 min walk or 2 mins drive. If you are looking for a fabulous property for a group holiday in the Peak District then I would highly recommend Swallow Barn
Andrea stayed in September '24
A fabulous location with a group of great friends. Would highly recommend the house.

Beautiful barn conversion in the perfect location for exploring the peak district. My extended family loved staying here for a long weekend! Great large and well-stocked kitchen for a family dinner party, and lots of cosy sitting areas. Very comfortable bedrooms, and every one with an en-suite. Nice pub and café down the road, and trails just a short walk away. Would recommend!

Swallow Barn was perfect for our family celebration. There were 9 of us in total and the property provided everything we needed. Lovely large kitchen area with ample crockery, cutlery and cookware. Barbecue all provided. Lots of seating areas for getting together or relaxing quietly, and the bedrooms were very comfortable. the host Hannah has thought of everything and the location is excellent for exploring the lovely Peak District. Lots of happy family memories made.

Mayne stayed in April '24
Wow. What a beautiful property and perfect for a large group of friends or families. The kitchen was well equipped and we spent a long time sitting, chatting and eating around the table. The wood-burning fire (with an honesty tin for bags of wood) gave off lots of heat and the sitting room was also a cosy place to sit together in. Monyash village was small, pretty, peaceful and friendly (with a cafe, pub and house selling fresh eggs). There is SO much to see and do in the area. The house was very well located within stunning countryside. Thank you, Hannah and Peak Venues!

we had a weekend at swallow barn, with our children and partners, and everyone loved it. it felt like christmas!! the long table in the kitchen was superb for breakfasting and chatting….en-suites to four of the bedrooms so everyone had space and comfort. we walked 4 mins to the fantastic bull’s head pub for dinners, and hiked the gorgeous Lathkill dale which starts 10mins walk away. absolutely recommend it!!
Bradbury stayed in August '23
Our stay at Swallows Barn was perfect for our large group of three families with teen boys, we could all get together but it was set up for us to have our own spaces too. The area is beautiful and there are lots of walks and places nearby to visit. The only downside was the road was a bit busier than we thought it would be, but mainly during the day so not a problem getting to sleep at night. Would definitely recommend to friends families wanting a group getaway.
Quinn stayed in August '23
Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful barn. We came with our three young children, my parents, my 90 year old grandmother and my aunt who is blind. There was something at this cottage for everyone… an absolutely beautiful barn.

We had a lovely stay and the cottage was a perfect base for our holiday .

Lovely stay for a group of 5 couples here. It's even more beautiful than the pictures, tonnes of space, every bedroom was lovely and all nice and clean and tidy. Would recommend for a weekend away together as a base for walks, pubs and a trip to Bakewell or Chatsworth.
Francis stayed in July '23
A very well laid out property with good separate areas for people to use . Good sized hall to dump outdoor clothes and nice eating area for family meals together.

Exactly what I had hoped for in the venue, couldn't have been better for a countryside retreat with friends. Management team and Host really helpful in the lead up to the stay in ensuring everything was spot on for our needs.
Pinto stayed in May '23
Swallow Barn was perfect for 10, very spacious and lots of room for us all to spread about . We were all able to gather around the kitchen table for our meals and chat and game of card. Monyash is a great location for walks in the Peaks , both locally and further afield. Thank you Hannah and the Peak Venues team for a great Bank Holiday weekend😀

anon stayed in December '22
We had a couple of little issues which were easy to manage as Hannah responded straight away and came over in the morning. Very impressed
Sally Josh stayed in August '22
An impressive barn, very well equipped for 10 guests who all had a marvellous family stay. Such a lovely village location, with nice easy village walks closeby, the three pub walk that starts and finishes at TheBull is recommended. A great kitchen, big fridge with on-tap ice and huge dining table was most welcome. We appreciated the spacious comfy sitting room and other spaces to relax in. French doors into the back garden were welcome to cool the place down on the hot weather days. The pub and cafe being a short walk away is a bonus for those not wanting to cook. The location so close to Bakewell was perfect for our family holiday.
Hussain stayed in June '22
We visited Swallow Barn for a Family Wedding on the Chatsworth Estate and found the accommodation and location wonderful. There was plenty of space for the family to spread out which meant we didn't have to be on top of each other all the time. The kitchen and dining space is really well laid out which means we could prepare food with ease and all sit down to eat together. Although we were a little apprehensive that there was no on site parking we were able to park all of our vehicles outside the property with no problems. Peak Venues were always quick to respond to any pre trip queries and our host Hannah was exceptionally friendly when we had queries during our trip.
Burton stayed in May '22
We had a great time staying here. The Barn is beautiful and really well equipped. The space is perfect with lots of different living areas, ideal for a trip with a big group. Monyash is lovely and a great place to enjoy the Peaks from. We particularly enjoyed lots of walks in Lathkill Dale. Thank you so much for a lovely stay. Your place was beautiful and absolutely perfect for our trip.

This is our third stay in one of your cottages and it surpassed expectations once again. I love how everything is finished off to such a high standard- it makes the stay feel luxurious and so cosy!

A wonderful place to celebrate Dad's 70th birthday ( continuing a trend, we think! ) The house is beautiful and had everything we could have looked for, and worked really well for several large family meals (which we may not have prepared ourselves! ) The area is great - super walks and the opportunity for a pint or two at the local pub.

Anonymous stayed in March '19
Just to say that we all (11 plus dog) had a super weekend at Swallow Barn celebrating my husbands 60th Birthday. The property was fabulous, well equipped, beautifully decorated, and very cosy. We especially enjoyed spending time together in the kitchen around that lovely table, eating, drinking and chatting. It was a shame it was the wrong time of year to use the garden, but the log fire was very welcome. The information on the Peak Venue website about the property and local area was very comprehensive and helpful. I really appreciated the small details like tea, coffee, soap, loo rolls and many other useful items being provided for us. It was great having so much cupboard space in the kitchen for mountains of food.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. We will be taking many happy memories back to Canada.

Started with snow first morning so road walk to Hurdlow and lunch at the Royal Oak- highly recommended. Also did great walk up to Monsal Head from Ashford- The Packhorse at Little Longstone looked fab - but was full (book ahead) so White Lion at Great Longstone played a blinder as a late substitute in injury time. Saved best for last - walking down Lathkil Dale spotted Fairy house and 12 waterfalls - great beer at Lathkil Hotel in Over Haddon. Magical day even with a bit of rain.
Joseph,Andrew,James,Jill and Jack stayed in January '18
Thanks for letting us stay in your lovely home. It was a perfect home from home for us with lots of space for us all to relax into in all our different ways. We didn't even notice the weather when the house was so welcoming. Had a lovely meal in the Bulls Head at Monyash: Excellent service, nice surroundings, great fire, if somewhat uncomplicated food - fitted the bill perfectly! Hope to return one day as it made such a lovely stay

Thank you for all the information and advice you sent during the booking process which helped me organise our break.

We just wanted to say how much we enjoyed staying at your beautiful house in Monyash. It was such a lovely stylish cottage, very comfortable and with all we needed for a weekend relaxing together with friends and perfectly positioned for going out for walks. We had a great meal at the pub on the second evening, and did a walk from Bakewell and had a look round there on the Sunday. It worked out really well for the size of group we were.

Bacon stayed in September '16
We have just enjoyed a weekend at Swallow Barn, and wanted to thank you for a lovely stay. We were a large group of 3 families, including 7 children, and had plenty of space to enjoy with and away from the kids! (thanks to the snug and table football!) The bedrooms were great, and the beds and linen luxurious. We spent time in the enormous kitchen, and around the piano, as well as out and about in the local area. The house is ideally located for for the Monsal trail and visiting Bakewell which we enjoyed and of course there is a great pub 2 mins away. Also, If anyone wants to have a lovely meal at home, and does not want to cook, use Scoffonline. They were fantastic; cottage pie for the children, brownies, and delicious beef daube and cheesecake for us... We chose well, and need to book quickly if we want to visit again! Thank you.

Creber stayed in August '16
We had an absolutely wonderful time at Swallow Barn. The venue was a perfect antidote after a night out in Manchester, in a beautiful setting. We enjoyed exploring the countryside around us and taking a walk to the Royal Oak, before retreating to the comfortable and well-appointed cottage for a relaxing evening. The kitchen and lounge are extremely comfortable, and perfect for a large group to spend time reconnecting and enjoying food prepared in the huge kitchen. The outside space is not enormous, and we were disappointed that we couldn't linger in the garden in the evening, but we appreciate the need to maintain good relations with the neighbours. We found the furnishings (sofas, beds, etc.) very comfortable, and the kitchen well equipped with a big oven and fridge (although we'd have liked some better knives and Pans when we were preparing a large meal). The table in the kitchen is huge, but seemed a little less solid and well-finished than the oak we found everywhere else. We left with some great memories and I would be keen to recommend Peak Venues to anyone who was looking to host a large number in beautiful surroundings.
Howard stayed in August '16

Our Top 5 Places to Visit Nearby
1. Spend a day exploring the historic market town of Bakewell
Bakewell is the largest town within the Peak District National Park and is a hub of activity. Market day is on a Monday and as well as a large range of stalls there is also an agricultural market which is definitely worth a look around as it offers a great insight todays farming community. The town also hosts a craft and gift fair most weekends in the Brigade town hall. The Bakewell Old House Museum occupies one of the oldest buildings in Bakewell and dates back to 1543, it provides a fascinating glimpse into the towns past and is very interesting and informative with lots to appeal to all ages. Obviously no trip to Bakewell would be complete without sampling an original Bakewell pudding. The Old Original Bakewell Pudding Shop claims to have the old the original recipe and still makes the puddings by hand from the secret recipe.

2. The Tissington and High Peak Trails

Both trails meet at Parsley Hay, the TissingtonTrail runs along a 13 mile route from Ashbourne to Parsley Hay, while the High Peak Trail is 17.5 miles long route from the High Peak junction near Cromford to Dowlow. Surrounded by beautiful countryside the traffic-free trail is ideal for horse riders, cyclists and walkers of all abilities.

The valley is full of interesting flora and fauna, the upper part of the valley is a National Nature Reserve and is managed by Natural England with several Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI’s.) The lower part of the valley is equally stunning as the river widens and is a perfect spot for picnics and maybe a wild swim in the summer.
