Guests say
Barney's Hideaway is a well-regarded cottage in Glossop, praised for its cleanliness, comfortable furnishings, and convenient location close to local amenities. Guests appreciate the property's well-equipped nature and the owner's friendly communication. While some minor maintenance issues are noted, the overall sentiment is positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
The majority of guests have highlighted the exceptional standard of cleanliness. One review mentioned a lack of attention to detail in some areas, but this seems to be an isolated comment within the context of otherwise positive feedback.
The location is consistently praised for being close to shops, restaurants, and bars, as well as for its proximity to walking trails and the town centre. The ease of parking and the quietness of the area are also appreciated.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, with spacious rooms and cosy living spaces. There is a mention of a squeaky bed in the attic room, suggesting a slight deduction in the comfort score.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and a jacuzzi bath being highlights. However, some guests noted areas for improvement such as garden maintenance and the need for sharper knives, indicating room for enhancement in facilities and maintenance.
While guests have mentioned the provision of snacks and fresh milk upon arrival, there is also a mention of the absence of a welcome pack. As such, while the property owner shows thoughtfulness, it is not consistent across all reviews, and guests should not expect gifts upon arrival.

Glossop, a thriving former mill town, is located in the northwest of Derbyshire and is encircled by breath-taking Peak District landscape. The town has a wide variety of stores, bars, and eateries in addition to a golf course with a pay-per-play system. Glossop Hall, which belonged to the Dukes of Norfolk, previously had its grounds in the area now known as Manor Park. With tennis courts, a children's play area, a semi-natural woodland, and bowling greens, it now makes a great summertime picnic location. Glossop's location near the Peak District National Park, which has a variety of activities for tourists, cyclists, and hikers, makes it a perfect place to explore.

The house was in a beautiful and tidy condition on arrival. There were snacks, fresh milk, tea and coffee available to use as we arrived. The kitchen is well equipped and has all you need if you want to cook a full meal, with adequate crockery and a lovely big dining area. The weather was bitterly cold due to it being January, but the heating system was very good, and you can control each radiator to suit. The wood burner in the lounge was great and heated the room in an instant. The bedrooms were all very comfortable and clean, and the jacuzzi bath was a favourite with the family, the shower was also powerful and hot!. The home owner kept in touch via text messaging and checked that we were all ok and comfortable. Glossop itself is a beautiful place, full of character. I have previously visited the area on two occasions. Plenty of welcoming pubs, restaurants and cafes. We used Aldi to shop, which was only a short walk away, but there is also a Tesco and Lidl. The local people are friendly and welcoming. Parking is on the main road, but was easily available and there were no issues at all. We visited Buxton, but generally stayed local. There is so much beautiful countryside available to see, but the temperature dropped and we had a coating of snow, so we enjoyed staying local and spending time at the house. We had a very relaxing week away and would certainly return to this lovely place!

We all loved Barney's - The house is beautifully laid out, cosy, pet friendly and sympathetically decorated (but not so pristine as to feel uncomfortable, as sometimes can be the case). Parking outside is easy. The living space is open and sociable, and the kitchen bright and very well equipped and had pretty much everything required to produce two celebration meals. The bedrooms are big, well appointed and extremely comfortable (we slept in the attic, which was a lovely room), and the bathroom modern and clean (I really appreciated the jacuzzi bath after a long walk on New Year's day!). The property is only a couple of hundred meters from the railway station and town centre, and, as I discovered, you can be out on the high peaks on foot in under an hour. We were all sad to leave and could have done with a few extra days to explore - lovely property and an area with so much to offer - would definitely return.
