  Barnbrook is a gem of a cottage.

  It is part of a small group of barn conversions, whose configuration allows privacy and spacious accommodation. Both the good-sized living room and the large dining kitchen are comfortable and well-equipped; the utility room is useful and there is clothes-hanging space in the little garden. The downstairs loo is invaluable. Upstairs there are two large bedrooms with a very comfy double bed and plenty of wardrobe hanging space. The bathroom has a small cabinet to keep razors and toothbrushes away from the washbasin, and there is a screened and adjustable-headed shower over the bath. Outside is ample parking for two cars, and down a few steps is a sweet little garden with table and chairs. At the end of the drive is Carperby, with a great pub (the Wheatsheaf) and easy walks to Aysgarth Falls and Bolton Castle, or through the woods to Woodhall and back over the moor. A memorable feature of Barnbrook is that everything is so spotlessly clean, and the huge store of dvds, games and guidebooks shows that the owner is determined to go the extra mile. This is our second visit, and we very much look forward to a third!

  The cleanliness was okay however the bathroom light fitting was covered in dust.

  No idea how but one morning despite the window being shut and door the bathroom had 6 flies in. We did notice quite a few flies but put it down to the fact all windows were open on arrival. However after killing all the ones we found and shutting all windows they were still getting in. Very well equipped and also they left cleaning products so we could give it a good clean before we left. We liked the fact it had a washer and dryer although we did not use it is handy to go home with clean clothes. Parking we found was difficult as there was a very large vehicle and it made it difficult to manoeuvre our car. By the end of the week it was parked at the entrance drive so at least gave us more room. Heating is quite slow with storage heaters. Never come across them before and found that you had to leave them on 24/7 and even then I could sit my hand on the top despite it being on full. Over pleasant stay and would recommend. I would also like to thank the owners for their instruction booklet as I had never used an induction hob before.

  This is one of the cleanest cottages I have ever stayed in.

  The property owners have made a good effort to combine rustic charm with modern style and luxuries. I can only assume that the owners are either meticulous cleaners or that the property has been recently redecorated, because it was absolutely immaculate. The property was confusing and difficult to find, but the upside of that was that it made the property very secluded and private, which I enjoyed very much. Often with these rural cottages you have to park far away from the property and lug all of your belongings to and from the car, but the property's gated driveway made this a pleasant exception. Sleeping wasn't too bad, since the area is so quiet, but the bed is quite firm. This, in fact, is the only aspect where I could recommend improvement - The bed would benefit from a mattress topper or entirely new replacement and the sofas are pretty hard too. All in all, this is a very enjoyable and well-stocked cottage and would seriously consider booking again if I return to the area.

  The property only had one toilet which proved difficult to manage with a whole family. I recommend you install a downstairs toilet (even a small one) which would help a lot. Also, parking was not good. For future guests, please provide instructions of how to set the heating. The website info did not mention that the property had a washer/dryer. This was great but it would have helped prior to hiring as we were on a long trip and did most of our washing (inconveniently and at great expense) prior to taking the cottage. If we had of known about the washer/dryer, it would have helped us a lot. Other than that, the cottage was great. Thank you!

  Ballowfield Barn is always immaculately presented and is a real home from home. The setup has been well thought out and it’s clear that the owners have put a lot of thought into what people need for their stay. This is one of the few places where we haven’t thought ‘oh they don’t have X’. We’ve stayed here three times so far and this definitely won’t be our last time visiting either. The whole area is beautiful and there are so many things on the doorstep of the cottage and even more within an hour or twos drive. This is only 1.5 hours from where we live but we genuinely feel like we’re in a whole other world when we visit.
