Short break in glorious Staffordshire countryside

Woodview Barn was perfect for our short break to the South Peaks and Leek. It is clean, comfortable and spacious and is located near the edge of the Peak District National Park. It’s just over a couple of miles from the interesting market town of Leek.If we come back to the area we would definitely stay again.

Amazing house. But if you’re staying here get ready to chase after ladybugs 24/7 as when we arrive it was infested and we had to spend 3 hours after travelling clearing them out of the bedroom with bunk beds and living room. Also a ladybug found in the bed of the master room. In the end we went and bought tea tree oil to deter them from coming in but they would still keep appearing. Roughly 100 ladybugs cleared out using the hoover. Never took pictures of how bad it was cause we were all tired and forgot but below is a few examples

Great

We are truly impressed by the incredible work and care that has gone into transforming this working barn.We are truly impressed - hats off to you for such a fantastic job. We spent a magical weekend at Woodview Barn — peaceful mornings, long walks, good food, and a bit of doing absolutely nothing. Just what we needed.

Fantastic stay

Recently came back from woodview barn. All the family had a fantastic time. The barn was very clean, cosy and excellently converted. Was perfect for us. Beautiful location in the countryside, great walks and a excellent pub/restarant nearby which is called the reform. Would definately stay again.

Lovely place to stay for Alton Towers. Only 20 min drive. You need to mind your head upstairs if 6ft and above. Beds lovely and comfortable. I will say and I have not knocked a star as it’s a small thing. There is no WiFi. Feel that should be mentioned on the advert

More than expected

The converted cottage is full of character and everything has it's purpose. Modern central heating, placement of sockets and lighting completed overall good impression. Easy access to interesting locations makes it a great point of start for area exploration. Place to revisit definitely.
