A wonderful self-catered escape for six located nearby Ullswater in the Lake...
If you have been looking for luxurious places to stay in Leek which provides easy access to the Peak District and nearby Alton Towers Theme Park, then you have come to the right place. This stunning converted barn provides everything that you would expect with any self catering holiday rental in the Eden Retreats portfolio.
With a sociable open-plan living space complete with a kitchen, living and dining area, all finished to a very high standard; you will have everything you need to wine and dine together as a group in fabulous surroundings.
This self catering accommodation offers a sleek and spacious kitchen which comes complete with a breakfast bar, quality white goods and perks such as an Nespresso coffee machine. All you need to do is bring the ingredients, and the bubbly, for an unrivalled British countryside experience.
A welcome pack will be provided upon arrival to help you map out the best places to visit in the surrounding region. The Barn is the ideal place to stay near Alton Towers for adrenaline seekers planning on making the trip to the UKs most popular theme park without compromising when it comes to the quality of your accommodation.
This is of course if you find the time to tear yourself away from your Leek accommodation. In the spacious living area you will find three comfy leather sofas, a Sky TV package and a coffee table. This is in addition to a wooden dining table, constructed using the original roof beams of the barn, which is located in the dining area. You will therefore have plenty of places in which to socialise, making this an exceptional place to stay for customers who are searching for luxurious group accommodation in the UK where you will not be disturbed by the wider world.
Underfloor heating runs throughout the ground floor and is a cosy addition during the colder months. A convenient utility room, which also acts as a cloakroom and washroom, also houses the washing machine, tumble dryer and freezer.
Two of the four king rooms can be converted into twin rooms upon request.
The barn comfortably accommodates up to eight guests in four stylish bedrooms, with two spacious king bedrooms with ensuites on the ground floor and two more bedrooms on the first floor.
One of the bedrooms has room for an additional two single beds upon request, creating a fantastic family room and a total of 10 guests to stay at the homely barn. Each bedroom has a TV, hangers for clothes and sumptuous bedding, creating nothing but luxury and comfort during your stay.
A snug area sits on the first floor, between the two bedrooms, and is complete with seating, Sky TV and a Playstation games console.
Outside is a large garden and patio accessible via the patio doors in the living area. A playset with a climbing wall and swing set is the ideal outdoor entertainment for young children. With the option to hire a hot tub for the duration of your stay, enjoy relaxing nights in with a glass of bubbly whilst the kids are in bed.
The barn is near the bustling market town of Leek with quirky shops, a selection of great restaurants and a range of pubs to enjoy; head down for a day out with the family or an evening stroll. Visit the Peak District National Park for fantastic walks with your family, cycling or horse riding. An abundance of walks sits directly on the doorstep, and from the barn are the incredible views of the Staffordshire Moorlands.
Home to the delicious Bakewell Tart is the charming town of Bakewell, 20 miles away from the barn and a short drive from Chatsworth House. Here, you can explore the historic painted rooms, discover the 105-acre garden and spend time in the farmyard, a popular choice with children.
For a historic journey surrounded by beautiful scenery, take a steam train into the Staffordshire Moorlands and around the outskirts of the Peak District via The Churnet Valley Railway.
If you are a bit of an adrenaline junkie, then you can take the short trip to Alton Towers Theme Park and experience some of the UKs most popular rides or treat the kids to a jaunt around CBeebies Land.

They have done an incredible job and in the area you will be hard pressed to find a better place to stay. We look forward to coming back soon. Thanks."
June 2021"What a lovely place for a family staycation. After our holiday abroad was cancelled we looked for a weeks holiday in the UK and The Barn did not disappoint. On arriving we got the wow factor from the moment we walked in and instantly felt like we were on holiday. All the bedrooms have their own bathrooms which our 4 children loved. There is a huge family kitchen with a breakfast bar and living area and it's easy to cook and entertain at the same time. The location of The Barn is perfect for those wanting to visit all the surrounding tourist attractions, one being Alton Towers which we did on two occasions. It's just a 15min drive on the country lanes. Leek is also a stones throw away and we enjoyed a walk into the town and had a lovely pub lunch. There is a lot to do. We also hired a hot tub which was set up and ready for us to use prior to us arriving and we would definitely recommend hiring one."
