Red Brick Barn Reviews

John
Beautifully decorated cottage with a perfect mix of modern, bespoke and antique touches. Very warm, cosy, clean and comfy. Well equipped spacious modern kitchen. Comfy beds and ensuite shower rooms. Lovely enclosed garden to sit and enjoy the fresh countryside air. Lots of walks nearby, and places to visit. Only thing to be aware of is the fact its on a flight path so lots of aeroplane noises noticed through the night.. though not so loud in the ground floor bedroom. Otherwise it was a perfect place to spend a few days away.
Sue
Excellent property, beautifully clean and comfortable had everything we needed. Jayne was very helpful,
Lorraine
Lovely cottage. It's in a great spot for getting out and about the area. Nice walk into the village over the fields. Jayne the owner very friendly and gave us good local knowledge. Very handy welcome pack in the cottage which was appreciated. Would definitely book again.
Andrew
The New Stables/Red Brick Barn is a delightful property set in the South Derbyshire countryside. It is very well appointed and very well maintained. We loved the mezzanine floor; a wonderful place to sit and read with views over the fields. Jayne and Nigel were excellent hosts who made us feel very welcome and did all they could to make our stay memorable. Highly recommended.
Tracy
Fantastic cottage in a brilliant location. Fairly close to the M1 so easily accessible from both the north and south. We stayed for Christmas week so decided not to sample the local pubs/places to eat but after a walk through Melbourne you would have lots of options. Only a mile walk up to the town using footpaths so again, accessible. The cottage was very comfortable for four adults and the downstairs bedroom was perfect for those not wanting to do stairs. The additional lounge upstairs was cosy and a perfect setting to open all our Christmas gifts. Jayne left us baked goodies, fresh milk and a bottle of fizz - thank you, it was a lovely treat. We have already recommended the cottage to friends and we talked about returning in the warmer months to take advantage of local walks.
Shirley
The cottage was spotless, and was everything we could want. Lovely walks from cottage, beautiful scenery and with local amenities. Highly recommend.
T
Melbourne is a pretty village and was quite central for our National Trust days out. There are some wonderful NT houses to visit. There are some lovely walks to do and great eating places in and close to Melbourne. Would highly recommend The New Stables and Derbyshire as a holiday destination.
Jacqui
The cottage is beautifully appointed and the welcome pack was lovely. Unfortunately we were only there for a few minutes before we realised that we had somehow managed to book a dog free cottage. After speaking to the owners both face to face, and then via Original Cottages, they required us to remove our dog
