Guests say
Wortley Barn is highly praised for its comfort, cleanliness, and beautiful location in the Peak District. Guests appreciate the well-equipped facilities, the cosy atmosphere, and the property's proximity to local amenities and scenic walks. While there are minor suggestions for improvements, the overall sentiment is extremely positive, with many planning return visits.
The cottage is consistently described as clean, with one review specifically noting its extreme cleanliness. No negative comments about cleanliness were found.
The location is frequently highlighted as beautiful and central for exploring the Peak District. It is mentioned as quiet with great views, though one review noted it was not as remote as expected.
Guests find the barn cosy and comfortable, with a lovely big bed and warm atmosphere. One review mentioned a cramped living area, but this seems an isolated view.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the barn being well-equipped. However, there were comments about the lack of basic supplies and outdated information leaflets, which slightly lower the score.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the owner, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Three miles away is the charming village of Castleton, which is home to intriguing caves such as the Blue John Cavern and is overlooked by the crumbling Mam Tor or 'Shivering Mountain.'

Extremely clean and bed most comfortable. Not close to any other property so it is very quiet. Owner lives locally and is accessible if needed. Several nice additional touches to make it feel Christmassy. Most enjoyable stay

We stay in the Peaks two to three times a year, and are so glad that we came across this little Gem. Wish we could have stayed longer, will definitely book again, and recommend to friends and family. Thank you so much Jessica for allowing us the use of your Beautiful converted barn.
