We had a lovely weekend meeting up with old friends in Shippon Barn. The Barn is beautifully appointed, wonderfully laid out and is lovely and warm. We've stayed on both Shippon Barn and Top Shippon and they are both fantastic. The White Lion at the bottom of the road does great takeaway pizza if you want some quick food!

We've had a lovely time here. It's a beautifully presented property with masses of kitchen equipment!! Self catering wasn't a problem - though we had an excellent meal at The White Lion on Sunday. After torrential rain in Buxton en route, we were able to dodge a snow shower and further rain as we walked around the area to Bakewell. A brewery tour at Thornbridge was interesting - beers varied.......table football added to our enjoyment! The nondrinker was the one that fell into the taxi to return! Thank you for providing this venue. As I've just just spotted a previous visitor also suggested that a 'Manual' may be of use, otherwise splendid.

Byrne stayed in June '18
We came to celebrate my 40th birthday and I don't think we could have chosen anywhere better - the cottage is perfect, the village a delight and surrounding of the white peak exactly was you'd expect. Although we didn't stray too far, the Pointing Dog & Duck in Bakewell is good. If you fancy somewhere a bit more formal the White Lion is definitely worth a trip for Sunday lunch and Hobbs at Monsal Head (15 mins easy walk!) All in all a great long weekend, thank you for the lovely touches to make the escape even more memorable.
Byrne stayed in June '18
Thank you for your wonderful stay in Shippon Barn. I could happily stay longer! We can for my Dad's 40th birthday and he really enjoyed it too! We all really liked the house and said we wanted to live here (if we could)! Thank you for a great stay. P.S. We thought the bunk beds were really comfy!
Hetherington stayed in June '18

Drummond stayed in May '18
This has been a perfect week in a perfect place: we've thoroughly enjoyed exploring the local area with some lovely walking on the Monsal Trail, Lathkill Dale, Froggatt Edge to name a few. Thank you for the special touches - milk, eggs, yoghurt, Bakewell pudding...it's very kind! It's also been fun playing footie in the garden, though we've had to rescue to ball a few times! I expect we'll be back to this beautiful, well-appointed cottage.

Our Top 5 Places to Visit Nearby
1. Spend a day exploring the historic market town of Bakewell
Bakewell is the largest town within the Peak District National Park and is a hub of activity. Market day is on a Monday and as well as a large range of stalls there is also an agricultural market which is definitely worth a look around as it offers a great insight todays farming community. The town also hosts a craft and gift fair every weekend in Brigade town hall. The Bakewell Old House Museum occupies one of the oldest buildings in Bakewell and dates back to 1543, it provides a fascinating glimpse into the towns past and is very interesting and informative with lots to appeal to all ages.Obviously no trip to Bakewell would be complete without sampling an original Bakewell pudding. The Old Original Bakewell Pudding Shop claims to have the old the original recipe and still makes the puddings by hand from the secret recipe.
Click here for a link to further information on Bakewell.
2.Cycle or Walk the Monsal Trail
With the Monsal Trail so close by it would be rude not to take the opportunity to cycle/walk along this old Midland Railway line which runs from Bakewell right up to Blackwell Mill, in Chee Dale. The trail offers 8.5 miles of traffic free and mud free cycling/walking and with the recently reopened tunnels offers one of the most spectacular leisure routes in Britain for cycling, walking and horse riding. The nearest cycle hire is at Hassop station which is great place to stop for a bite to eat or for a coffee and nice piece of homemade cake! There is also a lovely little gift shop and book shop and a children’s play area. If walking it also worth leaving the trail and dropping down in to Monsal Dale itself to enjoy walking along down by the river.
