Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently described the property as 'spotlessly clean', 'very well equipped', and 'comfortable', indicating high standards of cleanliness throughout the property.
The property's location is appreciated for its proximity to local attractions and beautiful walks, although some guests noted noise from a nearby road and farm equipment. The rural setting on a working farm was a highlight for many.
The majority of guests found the property comfortable, with special mention of suitable furniture for those with mobility issues and a warm, homely feel. A few guests suggested updates to the decor and furniture for enhanced comfort.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially for disabled guests, but some guests mentioned the lack of a dryer and issues with WiFi and heating. The quick response to a heating issue was positively noted.

About this property
This lovely barn conversion rests on the owner's farm in the hamlet of Newhaven, near the village of Hartington; home to old curiosity shops, traditional pubs and a splendid market square. Ideal for Chatsworth House. Suited for couples or a small family, Piggery Place is a delightful cottage to return to, comprising a comfortable open-plan living area, divided between a lounge, well-equipped kitchen, and a dining area for four people. Sit back with your favourite DVD on play, enjoying the warmth of the woodburning stove. A collection of bedrooms rest beyond, so you can snuggle up after a long day, either in the double or twin room, each carrying a home away from home feel, with wardrobes, and a neutral overtone. A wet room completes the interior, providing adapted facilities for those less mobile guests. Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 996810, together they can sleep up to six people.
The former Hartington railway station, about a mile and half from the village itself, is now a picnic area and the converted track is known as the Tissington Trail, popular with both walkers and cyclists. Hartington is also a good starting point for walking along Beresford Dale, a beautiful place with its curiously formed cliffs and rocks.

We had a warm welcome on arrival. Loved watching the cows who were just as interested is us as we had on them. Easy to get around Derbyshire. The turn into the property was a bit tight.
