The Old Byre

Perfect Romantic Hideaway

Facing south with unrestricted and amazing views of the Manifold Valley, the Old Byre is a superb cottage ideal for couples wanting comfort, peace and quiet. It’s been converted to the highest standards from a barn dating back to the 18th century and combines understated luxury with beamed ceilings and many original features. The Old Byre is one of the cosiest and most romantic cottages in the Peak District.

Comment from one of our visitors: “a little piece of heaven”

Downstairs, we have installed a wood burning stove (Biomass) in the open-plan sitting room, dining room & kitchen. The deluxe kitchen has granite worktops and a terracotta floor while the lounge is newly carpeted. The cottage is equipped with a full range of cooking and dining ware. A flight of open tread stairs leads to a galleried landing, off of which is a lovely double bedroom with “views to die for” (the opinion of one of our visitors). Also leading off the landing is a modern deluxe bathroom with bath/overbath shower, WC and heated towel rail.
