Gorgeous contemporary barn conversion for 4, in a peaceful Peak District village
Space & setting.
In the 1800s, this barn was part of the village’s Red Lion pub, with a dance room on its first floor, and beer and wine storage down below. Fast forward to present day and though the ancient beams and original shutters still remain, the ale barrels have been replaced by 2 gorgeously contemporary bedrooms; the dance floor magicked into a designer kitchen and light-filled lounge, with a wood-burner for wintry evenings.
Friends, couples and families will all love staying here. Set high above Dovedale with views stretching for miles, it’s a brilliant base for Peak District walking, while woodland trails, classic country houses, caves and little zoos are an easy drive away. What’s more, the Red Lion itself has been replaced by the famous George pub, which serves award-winning food. Meaning you can keep that beautiful kitchen Insta-ready.
Getting here: you’ll need to drive.
