Where you will stay
Right at the top of the lovely village of Bonsall, Derbyshire, UK. Bailey's Barn is in the Peak District National Park, in fact the boundary of the property is the Eastern boundary of the park. Stunning views, brilliant starscapes, and you can walk for miles right from your door.
What is Bailey's Barn?
Bailey's Barn is a barn conversion holiday cottage attached to our home, Bell House. It is a single storey barn, stone built and at least 200 years old, with an enclosed courtyard garden at the front, and an enclosed lawned garden, barbecue area, comfy seating and incredible views at the back. Luxurious and finished to a very high standard, with one en-suite bedroom, it's a great place to relax and also a base for outdoor activities.
Pet-friendly
We'd love to meet your dogs, who get their own welcome pack. You are able to walk for miles - from your door - to fields, footpaths and bridleways including the Limestone Way. We are close to Carsington Reservoir, and Cromford canal, for swimmies. For more about dogs at dog-friendly Bailey's Barn see our Dogs Welcome page.
Bike friendly
We are all set up for cyclists, with a locked outbuilding and steel floor fixings giving you double peace of mind, as well as a bike wash station. There are several Strava segments in the area and some challenging hills to ride, from the door. For more information on bike-friendly Bailey's Barn see our Cyclists Welcome page.
Walking friendly
There are many footpaths for walking, from the door, over fields, footpaths and moors. You are in the heart of walking country here and the hills and valleys (or tors and dales as we call them) and the Peak District is perfect for a stroll or serious hike. We provide OS maps and walk guides too.

What Guests Say
We've had such a lovely week in Bailey's Barn - it’s a fantastic base for the entire Peak District. You've thought of everything in the barn - it's great! Although we'd love to return. We're hoping to move here permanently in the coming months, but will definitely be recommending to others, thank you! Oh and thank you also for all the lovely welcome goodies - the flapjack was delicious!

We stayed at Bailey's Barn for just over a week and what a treat it was. Peace and tranquility but just 5 minutes into the buzz of village life. Bailey's Barn was perfect, we could not fault the accommodation and the exquisite artwork.
Lynn and Gordon were perfect hosts, happy to help or advise on sight seeing tips in the local area. Thank you both we have already recommended to our family and friends and hope to see you very soon.
