Description

Bosing Barn is utterly wonderful. Incredibly spacious accommodation, luxurious furnishings, high beamed ceilings, oak and slate floors, exposed stone walls and stripped wood doors make this a truly iconic barn conversion. In a secret little valley just down from the centre of picturesque Kniveton, it sits in a peaceful rural location. Forming the upper part of the owner's farmhouse, alongside their livery stables, the accommodation is entirely self-contained and with its own entrance.

Set on a tranquil lane with countryside all around you and a babbling brook alongside the lane, you could be in the middle of nowhere. Have a wander around the adjoining stables and all the horses will give you inquisitive looks, the owner's dogs will give you a friendly welcome too. A stroll along the lane will get you to the super Red Lion pub, with its great beers and renowned food, attracting visitors from far and wide. A little further over the fields to the Ketch pub, also with a really good reputations for good food. Super walks are all around and all Derbyshire's holiday attractions are close at hand.

The local town of Ashbourne is a must with its lovely market square, country stores, antique shops, art galleries, and restaurants. Nearby historic Wirksworth is our favourite with lots of individual shops, a heritage trail and brilliant Ecclesbourne Valley Railway. Children will love Chatsworth's farmyard and adventure playground, the wild watersports of Carsington Water, cycling along the High Peak Trail, and a visit to Alton Towers which is just 20 minutes away.

Reviews

A lovely cottage very comfortable in a beautiful place

Mrs S,

Great location, quiet and peaceful. We were made to feel very welcome by the owners and felt very comfortable in the farm environment. So much nice scenery and walks nearby and comfortable just to relax in the barn if you need a well earned rest.

Mr M,

A lovely presented barn. Lots of character and the layout was ideal for two couples with private fantastic shower rooms. The kitchen was one of the best we'd stayed in with lots of equipment. The lounge area was well laid out with a homely feel. The beds were comfortable and the bedding of good quality. I liked that dogs were not allowed in the bedrooms. We took our dog which slept in the lounge in a pen we had taken. The owners dogs were very friendly and loved to visit. We had a lovely meal in the village pub which was in walking distance. Would recommend this accommodation.

Mrs H,

Host was very welcoming and the barn was lovely

Mrs A,

Absolutely lovely property in a perfect spot. Lovely and quiet with plenty of walks on the doorstep. I was a little worried that my dog would find the number of dogs that the owner had a challenge but they couldn't have been nicer. The owner was also very respectful and made sure that only a few dogs were out at any time. All in all, loved it. Great location, great property, hope to return soon

Miss P,

Very nice place we had a very resting time

Mr V,

The cottage is very comfortable and well kept. The kitchen area is well stocked with everything you need. Having a full size fridge freezer was very helpful. We arrived earlier than expected and the owner greeted us and made us feel very welcome. A lovely arrival tray with tea,coffee and a bakewell cake was a lovely touch. We slept very well in the comfortable beds. The patio area is large and has comfortable garden furniture, and we enjoyed sitting outside in the morning and evening for coffee and dinner. The owner has 8 dogs, all are very well behaved and very playful. Our daughter really enjoyed playing with them. There is a weber BBQ, with BBQ utensils you just need to bring the charcoal. We found the linen and towels to be of very good quality. In fact there was nothing that did not feel premium. The Red Lion pub is a very short walk and has great food. Shops are about 10min drive away. This really is a peaceful place to stay with great hosts.

Mr B,

Sadly this lovely cottage holiday was spoilt by 2 main factors: 1. The cottage is only accessible through the livery stable yard (cottage listing just stated ‘adjacent to livery stables’ which is not quite the same thing) 2. The owner lets their dogs (6, I think) roam freely (and ‘the grounds are not enclosed’) so even in the ‘patio and garden area for visitors sole use’. The free roaming dogs severely limited our use of the ‘garden’ as we did not ‘feel comfortable’ sitting outside with our own dog, just in case the owners dogs came. On another note, the listing states the owner lives ‘adjacent to the cottage’ they actually live in the lower section of the cottage.

Mrs B,

A beautifully appointed property, very clean and comfortable. Great hosts, can thoroughly recommend.

Mrs B,

The owner was very attentive and went above and beyond to make the stay amazing. Coffee and milk was provided along with other items to welcome us. The accommodation was first class and good value for money. I can't rate this highly enough.

Mr H,

Bosing Barn was a great place to stay. Plenty of local walks with a few starting in the village all with lovely views. The barn is a really good conversion and well planned and furnished very nicely. In a quiet spot, but handy for The Red Lion which we highly recommend. You do need to be comfortable with dogs as the owners have a few who are all very friendly. We had a great time and would not hesitate to go back.

Mr M,

What a gem this is. We couldn’t believe how beautifully presented this accommodation is. It was far better than we expected for the price. Very comfortable and a fantastic log burner to keep us cosy. It’s tucked away at the end of a quiet lane and looking over fields. The hosts were extremely friendly as is the whole village. The Red Lion is a great local pub serving basic, but good, pub grub and local brews. Highly recommended.

Mr R,

Fabulous accommodation and hosts were lovely. Everything was clean and of very high standards. Lovely quiet rural setting

Mrs B,

Lovely, characterful, well-appointed cottage in a good location for exploring the Derbyshire Dales. Everything one would need for a comfy stay was provided with good modern kitchen and bathrooms. Overall cleanliness was OK but it felt like it needed a deep clean in places - oven and fridge needed a wipe out (old food left in fridge and freezer), wall lights and shades were thick with dust, lounge rug was very dirty. Most disappointing was the outdoor space. It looked very tired and neglected - lawn unmown, pots empty, BBQ rusty, paving weedy and cushions in the outdoor store were so dirty we couldn't use them to sit out. It's worth noting that the "garden" is not enclosed and is open to the stable yard which is quite busy with horses, horse owners and dogs which might be an issue for some folks with their own dogs or small children (was fine for us as we had neither). Would be happy to recommend - just fell short in terms of upkeep but easily resolved.

Mrs Akers C,

A wonderful cottage, set down a lane. Very well appointed, friendly owners. If you like animals, you will love it, as there are stables and its very dog friendly. Footpaths leave from the cottage, so you can explore the surrounding villages. There's a local pub, that serves local beers and ales. Home cooked food. There is no shop in the village, so if you need supplies you'll need to pop to Ashbourne. We can recommend the chippy there.

Mrs M,

Superb accommodation and lovely friendly owners on site, with all their lovely animals, especially the dogs!

Dr H,

Lovely barn in a quiet out of the way corner of the village. Somewhere to switch off and relax.

Mrs B,

Beautiful cottage, wonderful setting

Mrs M,

Location

KNIVETON

Kniveton is a picturesque village in the rolling countryside between Matlock and Ashbourne. The very popular Red Lion pub is at its heart and quiet little lanes lead off from through jumbles of pretty cottages out into the fields and valleys beyond. The Bubble Inn on the edge of the village is a very friendly gastro pub that is also worth a visit or two.

Ashbourne is the nearest main town gathered around the Victorian market square. Think lots of designer clothes shops, antique emporiums, restaurants and pubs gathered around the centre and in the surrounding streets. Known locally as the ‘Gateway to the Peaks’ it is close to famous Dove Dale with its stepping stones across the river and the Lovers Leap as well as Thorpe Cloud with its magnificent views. Another must visit is Paradise Walk by the side of the river Manifold from the picturesque village of Ilam.

You might also fancy walking or cycling from the centre of the town along the Tissington Trail up into the Peaks. Carsington Water with its wild water sports, birdwatching, cycle trail and visitor centre is also close by. And a short drive will soon get you to Matlock Bath, Bakewell, Chatsworth, and then into the heart of the National Park. It is not far to Alton Towers as well!    

Local pubs: The Red Lion and The Bubble Inn in Kniveton. The Red Lion in Hognaston. 

ASHBOURNE

Ashbourne is a lovely old Victorian market town at the southern end of the Peak District National Park. Known as the ‘Gateway to the Peaks’, it has lots of designer clothes shops, antique emporiums, restaurants and pubs gathered around the cobble market square and in the surrounding streets.

Close to famous Dove Dale with its stepping stones across the river, Thorpe Cloud with its magnificent views and the Lovers Leap, if you dare, there are few better places to go for a walk in the fantastic countryside. Another must visit is Paradise Walk by the side of the river Manifold from the picturesque village of Ilam.

You might also fancy walking or cycling from the centre of the town along the Tissington Trail up into the Peaks. Carsington Water with its wild water sports, birdwatching, cycle trail and visitor centre is also close by. And a short drive will soon get you to Matlock Bath, Bakewell, Chatsworth, and then into the heart of the National Park.

Local pubs – The Wheel Inn, The Ye Olde Vaults and The George and Dragon.
