10/10
This is a really beautiful cottage conversion that was originally done a while back but has been updated over the years. It's extremely quiet, very comfortable, very well-equipped (particularly the kitchen - we cooked a full recipe box meal with no problems) and a lovely place to spend time. A basket with some chocolate biscuits and wine was extremely welcome!
The location is very rural - this is a farm on the ridge of the hills in the Peak District and so it's always windy and often a bit misty in the mornings as it's so high up. But when it clears, the views are wonderful and it's so peaceful!
It was very helpful to be able to charge our EV (electric vehicle) here too and at a very fair cost.
There were only a couple of things which could have been a bit better - a bit of time with a feather duster would go a long way, as there was a lot of dust on windowsills, cobwebs in the ceilings, dust collected in the corners of the floor and so on (even by barn conversion standards) but all the important bits were really clean. Also be aware - despite Vrbo saying that Wifi is free throughout, the owners ask people not to stream video because of it being limited each month on a satellite contract, and they even simply turn it off some evenings completely! I do have some sympathy but for a high-end luxury getaway, I don't really feel this is good enough. Mobile reception is excellent, so the owners could look at cellular broadband for wifi. But maybe a digital detox is good anyway!
