Overlea Barn Reviews

Mollie
This was a wonderful stay. It definitely exceeded our expectations! It was very clean and it had everything we needed and more. Would definitely recommend to other people and would love to book again.
Absolutely stunning and cosy place to stay! Me and my partner loved the stay at overlea barn, with everything you need to relax with your loved one. The Christmas tree was an amazing addition, which made it feel more like home and a well thought out welcome hamper was brilliant! The whole barn was clean and packed with high quality furnishings. We definitely would stay again and recommend overlea barn to anyone!
Kieran
Our second visit did not disappoint. Overlea Barn is an exceptional retreat for those looking to escape life for a few days. We will return again, and are already looking forward to doing so.
Wonderful place ,1st class facilities and superb surroundings. Great place to spend a week and explore The Peaks. Thank you to Alan for a lovely stay. Peter and Val.
Very high quality cottage , will be booking again .
Lizzie
Really great little property that had everything we needed for a week away. We loved the hot tub in the garden, especially at the end of a long day walking and although you are near other properties we never felt like we weren't in our own private space. Owner was really friendly and helpful. A great location for exploring the peak district and beyond.
Outstanding accommodation, situated in an area that is both beautiful and provides plenty of things to see and do. Would thoroughly recommend and we will definitely be back. Thank you.
Overlea barn was perfect, it was equipped with everything you needed. When we walked in there was music playing which was a nice touch. It was very spacious and a great play to relax. The hot tub was amazing, especially at night when the lights were on. We definitely would come back again and recommend to friends and family!
Walked into a beautiful cottage with mood lighting and ambient music playing complete with welcome basket. . Lovely quiet location. A well equipped luxurious home built to a very high standard. Friendly owner on hand for any problems .....not that we had any ! Lovely walk down Sett Valley trail to Hayfield . We would thoroughly recommend Overlea Barn .
Absolutely perfect place for our honeymoon. Stunning area and a very very well kept cottage. It's just perfect. There's nothing I would change and I would love to go back.
Overlea barn was in a beautiful location and was extremely comfortable and well equipped. The property itself has been renovated to a high standard with a very comfortable bed most important and good quality contents. I would be very happy to return and recommend Overlea barn.
If youre looking for a private getaway, then look no further! Overlea Barn is the most decadent little pocket of comfort and privacy any couple could ask for. We stayed over Christmas, which made it so much more special with a lovely real Christmas tree greeting us on arrival. The Barn is beautifully laid out to provide the ultimate in relaxation and coziness. We loved the log burner and took advantage of the additional bag of logs provided. The kitchen has all facilities you could need to rustle up any meal from scratch. Upstairs is equally as lush with a beautiful bedroom where you can wake up early to the hoots of owls and the calls of roosters cocks, and a very quaint bathroom where one of you can have a rainfall shower while the other enjoys a bubble bath! And Ive not even got to the hot tub, which, we have to say, was an absolutely must on Christmas morning with a glass of fizz. The hosts were super helpful and kept their distance save for checking the hot tub and garden in which their 4legged friend also came along to We would 100 recommend Overlea Barn and we will almost certainly be back!
Thomas
Fantastic place and impeccable place couldn't recommend more Highly Great Stay
Nicola
Beautiful cottage, homely with all mod cons. Loved it and will definitely return
Hayley
A beautiful hidden gem. The Overlea Barn was cosy, clean very clean! and had everything we needed. The hot tub was an amazing added bonus. Alan was brilliant ahead of our stay, as it was my husbands 40th and he put a bottle of fizz in the fridge and I ordered some balloons, which Alan displayed for me. I will 100 recommend this place, and we will return for sure!
What a fabulous place. The perfect escape for a quiet weekend away. Thank you! We will be back!
Christy
We cannot fault anything about our stay at over Lea barn. The accommodation is modern, clean and perfect for a get away. The hot tub was a great addition to the stay and the picturesque views top it off. Attention to detail was perfect, greeted by music playing, fresh eggs, bread and milk just all little touches that made it feel extra special. The area is secluded but only a few minutes drive to some unreal views. We will 100 be revisiting.
Kirsten
This property is as described and pictured on the website. Well appointed, beautifully decorated and furnished, and perfect for a cosy stay with all amenities within walking distance. Suitable for self catering, loved the coffee machine, and for eating out. Even enjoyed the board games on offer! The welcome pack of bread, milk, butter and biscuits were gratefully received, bed extremely comfortable, a really spacious property with the added benefit of a private hot tub. A good location to kick back and relax from everyday hectic lives. Hayfield has some fabulous places to eat The George served wholesome good food grub, make sure youre hungry if you choose the large option, Colosseo restaurant served really good Italian food with a great atmosphere, Id book at weekends, and The Packhorse Sunday roast definitely showed why they have been voted as No32 in The Top Gastropubs 2022, loved being able to choose oysters as a pre starter, all very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend this property, had an amazing long weekend!
Really great place just as described if not better than. Everything in the barn is high standard and the kitchen is well kitted out. The living area is comfortable with a log burner. The location is also good, its on a public footpath which was good for walking into new mills. There is also a bus that runs on the main road through to both new mills and hayfield. Would definitely come back and recommend to others!
Joanne
Perfect location. Overlea Barn is close enough to the local amenities but surrounded by beautiful views, it feels like you are hidden away in the countryside. Close to many attractions whether you want to do some serious walking or just leisurely stroll around and admire the beauty of the Peak District. A stylish property and well equipped. Would definitely recommend
Perfect place to unwind and enjoy the peace. Absolutely spotless and well equipped with great hosts. Great location for exploring the High Peaks, on the other hand a great place to stay home and enjoy the hot tub and watch the tv. We will return when we can find a dog sitter!
The owners have got everything just right. Excellent standard all round. A special benefit was the large bedroom with large windows giving cool air at night and so peaceful. Only slightly negative comment the track down to the farm could do with some attention though, in our experience is a common problem on farm entrances
Kathryn
Overlea Barn is the perfect getaway for coiled wanting a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The cottage is beautiful and superbly kitted out with everything you could ever possibly need. Wonderful hosts on hand to suggest a scenic walk but never imposing, make for a wonderful stay. The views from every window are breathtaking and the ever ready hot tub is pure bliss. Couldnt recommend or rate any higher.
Everything was thought about and provided. It was of high quality, comfortable and cosy. We really enjoyed our stay.
Comfortable, spacious, stylish, well equipped holiday home in a lovely area.
We really enjoyed our stay in Overlea Barn. Beautifully decorated and so relaxing with a brilliant wood burner set up and ready to go when we arrived and great adjustable lighting and sound systemtv. It was immediately warm and welcoming to walk in. Having the tablet with useful links to activitieswalkspubs in the local area was really useful. Hot tub was great to use even in the cold weather! Set in a beautiful little garden that felt really private and scenic, it really felt like a retreat experience. Gorgeous hillside views from the large but cosy bedroom which had a great en suite with high quality bath and shower. Also, it was really well kitted out if you like to cook with everything you need including a great set of knives. Alan was friendly, available and helpful when needed. Well be back and highly recommend it.
Stunning building and decorated perfectly. Really good location considering myself and my partner travel on public transport and still found it easy to get to.
Rebecca
A wonderfull property in a wonderful setting. It provided a real retreat for us for the weekend. We had absolutely everything we needed for a wonderful stay. Loved the decor, the ambience it is a really special place.
A fabulous location a view from every window. Very comfortable property so quiet only the birdsong breaks the silence or the great Sonos sound system . Loads of walks from the doorstep. Alan the owner was very informative with plenty of local knowledge to help us get the best out of our stay without being intrusive. Hot tub a welcome addition for relaxing after a day of walking. All the rooms very spacious very clean and well fitted out Hayfield and New Mills are both well worth a visit. So much to see in both places. Hopefully we will get a chance to stay at Overlea Barn or one of the other cottages on the Farm again. We didn't want to leave. Thank you Alan
The property is a really high standard and it in a beautiful peaceful setting. It has access to lots of walks and close to the local amenities.
Alexandra
Perfect as always Our second stay and everything was as lovely as we remembered. Spotlessly clean, very comfortable and beautiful location. I'm sure we'll book again!
A lovely cottage, in a quiet location. Good location with walks available straight from the door, so can have no car days! Would have liked to have access to a washing machine, walking in the Peaks can get a bit muddy! Also the sofa could have been more comfortable for those nights in front of the wood burner. Overall though very clean, and cottage as described. Owner friendly but unobtrusive to let us enjoy our stay. Would stay here again.
We had the loveliest week at Overlea Barn. Definitely the most beautifully decorated self catering property we have ever stayed in. Spotlessly clean, warm and cosy with a super comfy bed and amazing bathroom! Location was perfect for exploring the Peaks. The owner, Alan, was friendly and helpful but not at all intrusive. If you are thinking about booking a stay at Overlea Barn then you absolutely should! We will definitely be back
Excellent property in a good location for those who want a walking holiday or simply rest and relax. The drive down to property and in particular the single farm track was a surprise that could be difficult to negotiate in icesnow conditions acknowledge that this wasnt a problem for us and that it may have been something I missed in the property details. Great stay in a lovely warm and well presented property, thank you.
A fantastic stay for new year! The cottage had everything we wanted and more. The location was superb, right next to the peak district. Would highly recommend.
Everything we needed for a magical Christmas break, second time we've stayed at Overlea Farm and won't be the last! The owners are incredibly helpful and attentive when required.
The house is luxurious and beautifully appointed. The Kitchen area and lounge had everything needed, Sonos, big screen TV, Netflix, big comfy sofa, etc. and a wonderful log burner. Upstairs the big bedroom and bathroom were equally special and of course a wonderful hot tub in a private area to sit and look at the stars and surrounding hills. In addition to all this the wonderfully decorated Christmas tree made it even more special. The area provides easy access to many wonderful walks, stunning countryside and lots of pubs and restaurants. We couldnt have been happier.
Everything we needed was at the cottage, it was a lovely location and very peaceful and private. The place was extremely clean and facilities were very good. Lots of lovely walks and trails around and would definitely recommend. Such a relaxing getaway!!
Kieran
The most wonderful little cottage, complete with a hot tub. We had a fantastic weekend nestled away in Overlea Barn. The cottage had everything we needed, and entering the cottage to peaceful music after a long drive was lovely. We'll definitely be back again!
