Spingle Barn Reviews

Rosalind
We loved the place. It was very warm and comfortable, and the garden space, with chairs and both shelter and a sunny corner, was really nice. Our only issue was the automatic lights and fan noise when using the ensuite loos. This was rather disturbing for the other occupant of the room! However, it is obviously useful and saves lights being left on, so certainly not a big issue!
Accomodation and games room both very good. TV downstairs no signal sometimes, other times worked okay. Don't know if it was something we did or not. Could do with instructions on TV and hobs. Not unusual, most places seem to assume you know how to work these things. Otherwise everything good well no vodafone mobile signal, but not cottage fault.
Darren
Spingle Barn is superb! We usually struggle to find a suitable property for our family group, but Spingle Barn ticked all the boxes, and more a rare find! Four large, cosy bedrooms, two of them easily accessible on the ground floor, and all ensuite, with an extra downstairs shower room too. A fantastic living space, and excellently equipped kitchen, and all spotlessly clean and tidy. The Sonos speaker and Echo Show were added bonuses! The separate games room, with its own log burner, is a great space to relax and unwind, and the outdoor space although we didnt get to make much use of it in midMarch is excellent. Spingle Barn is perfectly situated too right at the head of Lathkill Dale, with plenty of great walks right from the doorstep, a fantastic pub and lovely coffee shop a 5 minute walk away in the village, and just a 10 minute drive into Bakewell. The owners were brilliant too, good communication and very accommodating. All in all, hugely recommended!
Lovely rustic property in a great location. Peaceful but close enough to local towns with a good local pub 2 mins walk. Well equipped kitchen and a good large dining table. On a sad notewater for the downstairs bathrooms was bordering on cold whereas the kitchen sink water was dangerously hot. Even the bathroom off the dining area shower was cutting out so unable to shower properly so had to share upstairs showers facilities. Games room tired and needs leaks mending. When leaving and stripping the beds, found a bad stain on the mattress cover which wasnt pleasant. Overall a lovely stay though.
Michael
Wow, what a place. From the moment we walked in we felt relaxed, such a welcoming feeling. The light was fading outside so all the outside & inside lights had a really welcoming glow. We were a family group of three generations, four little one, four not so little and two OAPs. Everything worked, was clean and easy. All the rooms were spacious and comfortable. Brilliant Choice on our part. Thank you .
Catherine
We were most impressed with the quality and standard of the accommodation including the layout of rooms, comfort and kitchendining facilities. There were ten family members celebrating an 80th birthday and we could not have hoped for anything better. The house is set in beautiful countryside and we had several wonderful walks. On our arrival we would have liked some clearer directions to access the premises once in Monyash. The satnav indicated the wrong entrance which was briefly confusing. One of the en suite bathrooms on the ground floor was for disabled guests so there was no lock on the toilet and the shower was lukewarm.
Spingle Barn was absolutely perfect warm, comfortable, great living space, great location. I would highly recommend. I will never use Sykes Cottages again. Their ploy of advertising a 10 deposit is a deceitful strategy when actually it commits you to paying a very large deposit a couple of months later.

A lovely place to stay for a group. All the family loved it. Great location.
Judith
Everything about Spingle Barn was perfect. The kitchen was very well equipped and everywhere was spotless. The welcome pack was enjoyed by all. Would definitely book again
Beautiful place and location. We stayed for a family weekend 6 adults and 4 children and can honestly say we loved everything about Spingle Barn. The rooms are all perfect and there is so much space. The garden space is lovely and we even managed to use it on October to sit and enjoy. The games room is a great addition. Everything you need has been thought of and we would definitely recommend a stay here. Only 10 mins in a car to Bakewell which is lovely.
Spingle Barn was excellent. A perfect setting for our family to celebrate my wife's birthday. Lovely property set in a lovely village. Perfect!
Elizabeth
We had a great time. Such a lovely property for a big group.
Great stay. Everyone loved their time at Spingle Barn. Great location. Highly recommended
Beautiful property and garden, which was perfect for our family gathering. Good pubs, cafe and walks are nearby. Lots of places to visit close by. Would definitely recommend.
Rachel V
Really lovely property in every way. In fact the photos didnt do it justice. Very comfortable and great position to explore the Derbyshire countryside. Good local pub was a bonus within walking distance. Would definitely recommend.
Claire
We had a fabulous time at Spingle Barn, a beautiful setting to enjoy special family time together. There was plenty of space, it had everything needed to enjoy quality social time as well as being clean and immaculately presented. Thank you for the extra touches upon arrival which was a lovely surprise!
Well equipped, comfortable beds, great outdoor space, excellent location. What more could you ask for?!
We had a fabulous stay at Spingle Barn. The house is beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable with beautiful views over the rolling countryside. We had amazing weather for April and very much enjoyed spending time in the garden. The location is fantastic, based in the pretty village of Monyash with the fab pub and tea rooms and lots of lovely walks straight from the door. It was also an excellent base for exploring the glorious Peak District. The reason I have downgraded my review is because of the misleading photo of the accessible bathroom. There is no foldaway shower stool, though this is clearly shown in the photo. My dad walks with two sticks and needs to sit whilst he showers, so this bathroom was one of the reasons we picked Spingle Barn. It was very disappointing that the stool had been removed without us being informed and made things very difficult for my dad, adding unnecessary stress to what should've been a relaxing time for him. This photo should be removed and people with future bookings should be informed of the removal of the shower stool, in case they need it. However, if a shower stool isn't something you require, then I would definitely recommend Spingle Barn.
Wow. Spingle Barn is great property, bigger than expected with all the bits and pieces you need for a great break away. There were 10 in our group mixture of adults children and a dog, bedrooms are large and comfortable each with their own bathroom. Huge dining table and fab kitchen. Not forgetting the outside space, grassed area couple of seating areas and an undercover area as well. All in all a great property
Steven
Fabulous week away with family, home from home, very warm and comfy. Enjoyed the games room with the woodburner, we played darts every night. Thank you Garry & Andrea for the food and wine, loved the sparkling Christmas lights around the property. We wouldnt hesitate to come back.
Bethan
Our stay at Springle Barn was fabulous. The property was great, warm, cosy and welcoming after arriving in heavy snow. Rooms and facilities were some of the best we have seen both inside and out. The location of property is great for visits to Asbourne, Chatsworth, Bakewell and Buxton and we will definitely use the property again in the future and would highly recommend
We stayed here for our wedding, the rooms are excellent with everything you could need, plenty of space, super comfy beds. A huge table to gather around and a cosy comfortable lounge. The surrounding area is beautiful, we would highly recommend Spingle Barn. Thank you Andrea
Great farm house particularly for 2 or 3 families. Plenty of room, well equipped.
Virginia
What a wonderful place! Monyash is a delightful village, the surrounding countryside is supreme and the barn was very well equipped and comfortable for the 4 couples and a dog that made up our family party.
Claudia
A wonderful place to relax in and spend time with family. Very well appointed living room and dining area, with an excellent kitchen and laundry too. Ensuite bedrooms lovely. Also, high tech screens etc much appreciated. Very well situated near glorious walks and close to Bakewell, Buxton and Ashbourne for excellent shops. We hope to return soon!
Our family of 9 8 adults and 1 child, plus 2 dogs, enjoyed a wonderful week at Spingle Barn. So spacious. Lovely enclosed garden, perfect for the dogs. The property has been converted, fitted out and furnished to a high standard. It has everything we needed. The games room is an added bonus. Andrea responded to us very quickly when we had a minor wasp issue outside. Monyash is such a pretty village. The cottage is just a short stroll to the excellent village pub. The little cafe and store on the village green is also a great find. Lovely packed lunches to take on our many long walks in the surrounding countryside. Definitely recommend a stay at Spingle Barn.
A super place to stay for 8 adults. Great to have all bedrooms with an ensuite bathroom. Lovely garden with plenty of seating. Well equipped kitchen and a huge dining table. So good to have a pub and coffee shop that we could walk to easily. Food and service was excellent. An absolutely super place and so near to lovely towns and villages.
Nicola
Arrived to a bowl of fruit, biscuits, cakes and a bottle of wine from the owners which was a lovely touch. Well equipped kitchen, great sized double bedrooms all with ensuite facilities. Food in the local pub was amazing, would recommend a visit, only a few minutes down the road. Nice outdoor area for bbqs and seating and would be absolutely fab if it had a hot tub. Walks directly from Monyash, so no need to drive and park somewhere. Would definitely recommend.
Thomas
Lovely property! Spacious, clean and an appealing farm steading feel to the house. We had four couples staying here with three young children and there was adequate space for all of us. Nice outdoor seating area and games room! Only other comment is that the bike shed could do with a lock. Otherwise, a delightful property!
Barbara
Lovely place to stay for a family gathering of all ages. Plenty of room for everyone to spread about with everything provided for a homely and comfortable stay. Thanks also for the wine, flowers and fruit, a lovely welcome. Scenic area as well and great walks from the door. Theres nothing here to dislike, Well recommended.
Fantastic property with all amenities. Games room a great bonus. Really clean with lovely furnishings. Would highly recommend staying here!
This is our second time at Springle Barn. We're a group of friends in our early 40s who every year try to get away to a country cottagebarn to have a good catch up, eat good food, play poker and enjoy a country walk taking in a couple of pubs. Single Barn is absolutely perfect, great environment to hang out, beautiful location and some lovely walks. When I was arranging our get together for Jan 2024 this year, all the group wanted to return to Spingle Barn, which is as good recommendation as you can get. Many Thanks once again
We all enjoyed our stay at Spingle Barn very much. The pictures online really do not do it justice. We couldn't have asked for anything better! There were a couple of minor things that I have mentioned privately to the owner ... we couldn't get the stairgate to work, it was too long to fit at the top of the stairs and too short to fit at the bottom. Then we had to give the hoover a thorough clean before we could use it.
Stephen
I have already contacted the owner direct saying how much we enjoyed our stay at Spingle Barn. My comments are below We really enjoyed our stay at Spingle Barn over the weekend. The cottage was fantastic and very comfortable. It is situated in a lovely part of the country. The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of cups, saucers and utensils. The beds were comfortable. The underfloor heating made the place more than sufficiently warm enough, particularly bearing in mind how cold it was outside, but the woodburning stove certainly added to the warmth as well as the pleasure of seeing an open fire.
The house was beautiful, we enjoyed our stay together as a family. Furniture & beds were plentiful & comfortable, If I was to be critical I would say various areas were quite dirty such under the beds,& tops of units. Some new Kitchen knives sharp ones or sharpen to old ones would be very good idea. The dishwasher did not work, but I was advised of that before arrival, and these things happen. Also the pool table needs some attention as is old & damaged, there were plenty of darts, but all seemed slightly damaged too. The games room was a key factor in our choice of home to stay in. The owner was very helpful, especially with the provision of logs for the fire.
We have recently stayed in this cottage and had a lovely break away with the family celebrating a special birthday. We could not fault anything. It is an amazing cottage with everythIng you need for a few days away. Clean, and comfortable with lovely spacious rooms, and nice to all have their own bathrooms. The kitchen was well equipped with everything needed to prepare meals, in fact we ate in and enjoyed chatting around the large farmhouse table. It was a lovely surprise the flowers and fruit too, thank you. The cottage was lovely and warm with the underfloor heating, and a nice games room for the family to play pool, table tennis and darts on the evenings, and when returning back from days out. Really enjoyed it and would definitely book again. Just a shame the weather was not the best, but it didnt spoil anything, as the facilities were put to good use. Many thanks. Hope to see you again soon.
Joscelyn
We had a lovely stay at Spingle Barn. Great property and beautiful location. Facilities were great, the only small issue was that the bed was only pushed together to make a double, so found that there was a gap between the mattress that kept falling into during the night, everything else was great!! Beautiful gardens and Outlook. Have already recommended, as its ideal for large family or group gatherings.
Elizabeth
Superb location. Very well appointed property. Comfortable, spacious, welcoming.
