“A place of beauty” We stayed at APPLEseed for 1 week in September 2012 as a 'get away from the city' type break. What we found was a place that we will go back to many times over. Despite being just 7 miles... more

“Beautiful barn conversion - a peaceful and luxurious break” Appleseed barn has been converted to a really high standard with luxurious fitting and finish and really nice touches throughout. With hotel standard towels and linens and fabulous Emma Bridewater and White Company items, this really is a home from home. The owners live on site, but let you keep to yourselves and enjoy their little in peaceful contrysie oasis in Derbyshire. They spoilt us with welcome supplies, a homemade cake and the Sunday Times! There is a shared tennis court, wonderful walks and plenty to explore. Simply put, lovely - we would definitley receommend it and hope to return soon.

“perfect gate away, beautiful barn and surroundings...” We have just returned from a long weekend at Brailsford Barns. We booked very last minute and Emma (the delightful owner) could not have been more helpful. Detailed directions and info on the local area were provided beforehand which was great. The barns are beautifully kitted out and the furnishings and kitchen equipment are all of the highest quality. There has clearly been a lot of love put in to their making which we greatly appreciated. It's peaceful and your privacy is completely respected. The fire is super efficient and the lounge area is very difficult to tear yourself away from!! There is lots to see/do in the local area and more than enough to keep everyone happy. Quad biking for us was a great hit..We didn't try the local pub in Brailsford though had a lovely meal in The Saracens Head, Shirley, reasonably priced gastropub type food. We have stayed in several self catering places in the Peaks and this has certainly been the most luxurious and we are looking forward to returning already..hopefully when the weather is slightly brighter and we can have a game of tennis!! Thanks again.

“Very nicely finished property with plenty to do nearby” We stayed for a whole week and spent a lot of time in the barns and enjoyed it greatly - especially the tennis court right outside the front door, which we could use in the evenings knowing our toddler was in bed within earshot! We were made very welcome and would definitely recommend to others. We are National Trust members and there were plenty of places nearby to make use of this - including Keddleston Hall which is only a few miles way. Chatsworth House is also fairly close and easily takes a whole day to go around, including a great farm for kids. If you have not been to this area before then this is a fine base for exploring the area and a pretty short drive from the main routes to the Derby area.

“most lovely place, so happy to have found it!” we had a magical stay for a week, the owner so welcoming and full of good ideas of places to visit and on hand if anything is needed, the appleseed is so peaceful and has everything you need! more than what we expected, and traveling with two young children aged 2 and 5 years, they absolutly loved it! would deffintly come again.

“Perfect” We were allowed to rent the barn from Saturday to Saturday even though the website stipulates Friday to Friday as the owner, Emma, will accommodate your wishes as much as she can. We arrived... more

“It was perfect in every way” Right from the start I knew that I was dealing with an organisation that knew their onions where looking after people was concerned. Booking was simple, a quick phonecall and all was sorted and the owner was more than willing to accommodate a mid week request at short notice. Communication was excellent and questions were answered by return of email or on the phone. Directions were precise and easy to follow. Upon arrival at the property the owner was there to meet and greet as promised. The property was superb and as described with luxury fixtures and fittings, we felt totally at home. The location is great for walking with Carsington and Ashbourne nearby there is plenty of walking to be had. Reluctant to leave the property as it was so lovely. Plus points: Owner friendly, communication and website excellent, propery itself lovely, cleanlienss, local area, privacy. Minus points: None!

“Highly recommended property.” Every attention to detail has been lavished on this property. The furnishings and fittings are of the highest quality and there's enough kitchen equipment to actually cook a meal with - a rarity with funished lets in our experience. The tennis court was a great bonus to our holiday. Just step out of the door, and you're on the court. Such a peaceful location, but a car is essential. The owner of the property is on hand to answer any questions, and couldn't be more helpful. The wood burning stove in the lounge is perfect for the cooler evenings with everything you need supplied. A lovely, restful stay is guaranteed.

“Lovely accommodation, lovely host full of great tips” We experienced a warm and friendly welcome. The property is located down a lane and is therefore wonderfully quiet. Within a short driving distance, there are lots of things to do if you so wish - both cultural and for the wallet (!). We found the house well furnished. This is also true of the kitchen - little things like salt and pepper were there and washing up liquid so you did not have to start from scratch.
