    There was a bit of a smell in the far end of the room we weren't sure if it was the drain. One of the children found a pair of underpants stuffed in the mattress which wasn't any of ours but I understand things can be missed and they certainly found the funny side of it

    Lovely place and friendly welcome. We had everything we needed in the room and enough space for us all. It was nice to be greeted by the chickens too. We loved the cozy little under cover area in the evening and it was great to have the car parked right outside so we could unload. We found the beds were comfortable too. A lot of character here and we would definitely recommend

    Despite it being a barn, it was very cosy. The barn had a lot more than we expected, fridge, cooker, microwave, toaster, kettle, all sorts. The electricity which is available on a paid meter basis, lasts ages. We only put £1 in the barn and it lasted us the whole evening and morning. Pleasant stay and local to lots of shops. Definitely recommend.

    Nothing we ‘didn’t like’ howvever if we were being picky on cleanliness I felt toaster could do with a scrub and some plates left by previous guests could have been cleaned better although that isn’t the owner’s fault. Shower took a few of our ££ to realise that dial was back to front which was fine but maybe a wee note to explain which way/number to turn dial for hot water as we kept putting ££ in thinking it needed a certain amount to get it going.

    It was as was described. It was quirky, unique, great value for money, great location-within 20mins walk feom the town yet views looking over the countryside. My hubby and I loved it especially the compost toilets. We’d definitely recommend too barn over bottom barn due to the toilets and undercover sitting area. These were great. It was very kind of Alison to have the fire set up on both nights so we only needed to provide the logs. Hubby and I would definitely return, our kids are spoiled and prefer the finer things so would perhaps vote differently!

    I was very happy with everything!

    Location was perfect for heading to Alton towers. It was also within walking distance to lots of restaurants and bars and shops. Absolutely loved it! The lady who welcomed us was lovely and made us feel really at home. We had a private toilet and fire pit and the shower facilities were absolutely fine considering it was in a barn. Super quirky and a beautiful location we will definitely be back!

    Very little.

    Although the accommodation is basic, there is everything you could possibly need. Beds were comfy and even the composting loos were easy to use and not at all smelly. Great location on the outskirts of Leek, within easy reach of a garage/shop and handy for walks in the Peak District, or visiting Alton Towers, Carsington Water, Tittesworth Reservoir & The Roaches etc.

    Condensation build up on windows and stone walls of converted outbuilding when you try to warm it up.

    It is not a hotel. It is basic upgrade of outdoor, farm style camping.

    The way the neighbours moan to the council. Please don't let this place be shut down by the neighbours, they are really grumpy and don't like people having fun. Please annoy the neighbours by not being too noisy so they have nothing to complain to the council for.

    Everything. Was a perfect location. More than enough cooking utensils (as some say there wasn't). Normal size fridge with small freezer above. Shower was always hot, toilets were never smelly (there were 14 of us). Plenty of room for everybody without tripping over each other. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of day trips within 20mins drive including alton towers. The owner was fantastic, on hand if needed although we didn't need anything. Was amusing when having a bbq and a chicken stole a sausage off the bbq! If you don't like chickens then take a water pistol!!
