Escape to the stunning Derbyshire countryside at this stylish cottage, complete with a wood burner and underfloor heating, that’s the perfect place to come back and relax after a day out walking or cycling.
Barn Owl Lodge is an 18th-century barn that’s been turned into a wonderful modern retreat. Original and modern features create an elegantly rustic place to stay for the perfect country escape. With two double bedrooms and one shared bathroom, plus underfloor heating throughout and a wood burner to warm up chilly evenings, it’s a good choice for a family or a group of four close friends looking for a cosy and elegant place to relax. Picturesque country strolls begin from the door and beautiful Carsington Water is within walking distance too, while the Peak District and Alton Towers are an easy drive away. One-to-one beauty treatments, hair care and massages are also available at the on-site salon and can be pre-booked before your stay.

Why we love this

  • A modern and stylish retreat with rustic touches and lovely views
  • Quiet village location perfect for exploring the Derbyshire Valley and Peak District
  • Walking distance to Carsington Water for nature trails, canoeing and hikes

Why Book with Us

Book with Confidence

Our properties are handpicked and inspected in person before listing, and we regularly review them for quality control and your peace of mind.

Exceptional Service

Our award-winning Guest Services team will not only help you find your dream holiday but will support you through every step of your stay.

The cottage is stylishly decorated, with features such as the vaulted ceiling and beams adding a touch of rustic elegance. Every home comfort has been thought of, including electric underfloor heating throughout.

The home is set out over the ground floor and at its heart is the modern, open-plan living/kitchen/dining area. Get comfy on one of the sofas and read a book, or enjoy a movie night on the LCD TV which has Freeview, Netflix access and a DVD player. There’s also a wood burner to provide an extra layer of warmth at chilly times of the year.

When it’s time for preparing your family meal, the kitchen area is well-equipped with an electric Range-style oven, an electric hob, a microwave, a fridge/freezer and a dishwasher, while a washing machine and a tumble dryer can be found in the attached utility room.

At mealtimes, gather around the dining table which seats four and as you enjoy your dinner you can admire views over the garden.

There are two bedrooms, one double and one king-size, both with wardrobe space. They share one shower room (there is no bath at this property).

Outside there is a patio garden area with seating and a barbecue, ideal for dining alfresco or simply enjoying the gorgeous views of the Derbyshire Valley whilst sipping your morning coffee. Beyond is a shared lawned garden area.

There is a lockbox where you can access the key to the property for a self-check-in, however the owners live nearby and are available to offer assistance during your stay.

We plant a tree for every booking we make to help offset some of the carbon emissions generated by our stays.

The garden area is not enclosed and there is a small lake in the grounds beyond, so please supervise children at all times.

Location

The neighbourhood

The cottage is located in the peaceful hillside village of Kirk Ireton in the stunning Derbyshire countryside, with several good country pubs to be found within a few miles.

If you like gentle outdoor pursuits you are in the right place and just a short walk from the cottage is Carsington Water. This reservoir and nature reserve has a visitor centre, a picnic area, a playground and lots of activities to try. Families might like the 1-mile stroll to Stones Island where there are lovely views across the water, or for a longer hike take the route that passes through the villages of Carsington and Hopton. You can also hire bikes or book water sports including rowing, canoeing, windsurfing and kayaking. Carsington Water is also a good spot for trout fishing which is available from March to November.
