The property

Parlour Barn is a delightful barn conversion, situated on the outskirts of the thriving town of Leek, in Staffordshire, and resting alongside the Peak District National Park. This abode provides an exceptional base for exploring all this picturesque region has to offer, with a wonderfully modern décor inside, giving you a warm and welcoming feeling. Spend your evenings in the open-plan living room, with a lovely L-shaped sofa to curl up on, and a woodburning stove for that extra bit of warmth. The kitchen has all the appliances you could need to cook up a storm for the whole family, with a large dining area for family gatherings. There are three ground floor bedrooms, all exceptionally decorated with modern furnishings and their own TV's and are individual to store your personal items and served by a family bathroom. Delight in the provided hot tub in the enclosed garden to the front, where you can sink into the warm water and let those bubbling jets work their magic. Or you can enjoy the sauna after a day's walking. Continuing to impress is the thatched deluxe heated outdoor garden hut ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining and playing games. Just down from the cottage lies the communal games shack – the ultimate Wild West-themed games room for fun with friends and family. Here you’ll find pool, air hockey, table tennis, table football and a classic arcade game console featuring 60 of those retro favourites we all know and love.
