Description from owner
Description
The Milking Parlour Grande is one of seven properties set in the complex at Oakerthorpe Holiday Village and is a barn conversion consisting of 9 bedrooms. The ground floor has 4 double bedrooms all with en-suite and 2 twin rooms along with a family bathroom. A further 3 double bedrooms all with en-suites (please note one of double beds is against a wall) are on the first floor with a large living area complete with banqueting table and seating up to 24 people with a state of the art kitchen which includes a large fridge, freezer, wine cooler, range cooker, dishwasher and for your convenience the property has a washing machine and tumble drier on the ground floor.
The Grande has a standard occupancy of 18 however we are able to sleep 24 by adding additional put up beds in the largest bedrooms. The price is £20 per bed/per night.
The property boasts of underfloor heating and is very snug and cosy despite of the mandatory single glazing.
For your enjoyment the property boasts of Freeview TV and Wi-Fi and private courtyard complete with hot tub.
Incidentally The Milking Parlour Grande was visited by Oti Mabuse the Strictly Come Dancing Star where she recorded the media advert for Sainsbury’s (see her comments and picture in the visitors book)
Grounds include a large playpark with playhouse, designated BBQ area, a floodlit sports area and a bespoke enclosed dog walking area along the banks of the River Amber, where the adjacent sluice gates and weir will be seen that served to provide water power to the neighbouring Cotton Mill circa 1790.
Adjacent the property is a walled Orchard which has chickens, geese, ducks, bantams, quails, peacocks, sheep, pigs and meerkats is where Farmer Vic invites guests to help at feeding time and collect eggs from the chickens throughout the year except during the Christmas period.
Oakerthorpe Holiday Village aims to provide a truly memorable stay for all its guests with top class accommodation, striving at all times to deliver the very best along with giving a unique and memorable experience however we would like to make you aware that approximately 150 metres from the property is a main railway line which for many, especially our younger visitors, enriches the village experience from which it must be said there is minimal sound pollution.

Response from the owner Thank you for your review, most helpful. I have now reduced the cost of the BBQ to £20 inc VAT so we get £16.66 this is for a dedicated BBQ area away from the main building due to fire risk, utensils, a grill and unlimited charcoal and fire lighters which I think your group took advantage of. A glass in the hot tub is not acceptable and an enquiry is underway to put further safe guards in place so this can never happen again. Sorry if we did not meet your expectation about room size however this property has been opened for nearly 3 years and we invariably only get praise. Turning to the wasps which in my opinion what was mostly responsible for your woes. The properties are in the heart of the Derbyshire countryside and therefore one would expect some tolerance for the forces of nature, the wasp problem was however a total one-off as in my nearly 30 years at the village I have never experienced this problem at such a level, we did get a pest controller to visit as soon as we were aware of a problem but not in enough time for your group, sorry about that, although it should be noted that at the time the media was full of reports of the wasp infestations nationwide see The Guardian, The Sun, The Mirror and various reports on TV.
