  From start to finish this holiday was perfect.

  On arrival Hazel & Charlie were so welcoming & thoughtful. They love dogs and our made our Labrador, Jaxon feel at home.Bottle of red wine for us on arrival which was really kind. The cottage is absolutely beautiful. immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. The bed is so comfortable.The views from the private garden were simply stunning. Our neighbours were really friendly too. ( the alpacas) Hazel kindly gave us some Alpaca food and the Aplacas eat it from our hands. Hazel also gave us fresh eggs from her chickens which was just lovely and half way through the week popped round with fresh sausages from the local butchers and a couple of vanilla slices too.We were overwhelmed by their kindness and hospitality. The local pub, the Craven arms , which is just over the road. Very friendly people, lovely food and again all dog friendly which ,made our holiday so relaxing. We visited settle which is in walking distance and lovely walks down the river side. Austwick has a beautiful stream and we enjoyed a walk to Clapham from there. Visited Elaines tea rooms in Fazier which is just lovely. Splendid sandwiches and cakes. Last day we walked from Langcliffe up to Little stainforth where we called in at the Knights table. Gorgeous views for miles and had a wonderful lunch there before walking back through Stainforth and visited the Lime works.Lots of interesting history.So much more we would like to see. We will definitely be re visiting this area next year and will be staying with Hazel & Charlie again at Rushton barn.

  My wife and I have stayed at a number of cottages over the years, all of which have been of a good standard.

  However, Rushton Barn stands out for a number of reasons. First and foremost is the attention to detail provided by the hosts; they go to great depths to ensure everything is just right, from text messages leading up to arrival, greeting on arrival, a bottle of wine, milk, and bowl of water for the dog to refresh. The barn is just outside Giggleswick which is a lovely, quiet, small village close to the market town of Settle. Far enough away to feel relaxed from the hustle and bustle of modern life but close enough for supplies. The barn conversion has been done to a high standard, with a hedge and gate separating the cottage from the main house. Laid to grass it is perfect for those staying with a dog. The inside is small but more than ample for a couple with a good-sized bathroom. The neighbours can be quite inquisitive, don't be surprised if they come up to the window to see what you are doing. Again the hosts provide a carton of appropriate food to feed the Alpacas and the board has details of their names. Overall, we had a wonderful week exploring the Dales and Lakes; Rushton Barn was a fantastic base to come home. The Craven Arms, just a few hundred yards down the road, proved an excellent facility for liquid refreshments, excellent food, and dog friendly in the bar area. We would highly recommend this property. Paul & Ali

  This is a really lovely place to stay.

  The cottage itself - which is the ground floor 'apartment' of the barn - is delightful. Hazel and Charlie have gone to great effort to make it very comfortable and welcoming, with many lovely touches. They were super hosts - even checking what colour wine I would like as they left a bottle of wine along with milk, etc ready for my arrival. There was even a 'Tuesday Treat' - a really delicious, large slice of cream sponge cake - as an extra. There is everything you need for a relaxing stay - and when I was unsure about using the woodburning stove, they kindly offered to come across to start it off. The little, sheltered garden outside the front door is delightful - and I really enjoyed being given food to feed the alpacas who live in the neighbouring field. Hazel was very happy to suggest places to visit, restaurants for meals/coffee, etc, which was really helpful, but they were never at all intrusive. Perfect hosts, in fact! I have already been recommending this cottage to friends as it really is a gem, set in a beautiful rural location, but within easy driving distance of Settle. Thank you, Hazel and Charlie.

  A week staycation is not our normal type of holiday but present Covid situation made us take this option this year .

  We love this part of the world having visited for a couple of days last year so hence choice of Rushton Barn . We were so pleased with our choice as the accommodation was perfect for 2 of us and met my extremely high requirements for cleanliness. I planned to cook a lot as still nervous to eat out and the kitchen had all I needed to make meals . Hazel and Charles are first class hosts and the little things they have thought about in the property make a lot of difference . While we were away it was my husband’s birthday and I had mentioned to Hazel on booking as wanted suggestion on any local places to eat out that day. Hazel had obviously made a note of this and produced a gift for his birthday - that is what I call going the extra mile The icing on the cake for me was the alpaca and sheep in the neighbouring field - such fun animals with great personalities - it’s not every where you can stay and have an alpaca looking in lounge window Thanks Hazel and Charles for letting us share part of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales for the week

  I could go on & on about how amazing this cottage is.

  Hower, the short version: We had an amazing holiday at Rushton Barn. We were greeted with typical Northern hospitality from our wonderful hosts Hazel & Charlie. The cottage is spotlessly clean, well equipped, welcoming and we instantly felt at home, as did our dog who also considered with treats, bowls poo bags as well as being made a fuss of. Though never intrusive, Hazel and Charlie were always available and nothing was too much trouble. We were kept well supplied with food for our Alpaca neighours, which was a real treat when they would greet us at the window and over the garden wall. We have stayed at self catering cottages for many years; for us, this was by far our best holiday, Rushton barn has become our favourite place which is why for the first time ever we have re-booked for next summer. Two minute walk to a great friendly pub that does good food (make sure you book) at the Craven Arms. If you got into Settle The Wonky Cafe is well worth a visit. Great breakfasts, cakes and pies.
