  What a fantastic property!

  It was absolutely immaculate with all the modern features any family could want or need. There is a luxurious feel throughout and an abundance of space to easily accommodate 6-8 people. It is within a 30 minute drive of most of the major tourist areas and the walk into the nearest village Pately Bridge was flat and easy. The owner had left a lovely welcome pack and a beautifully decorated Christmas tree for our early December stay, which was really appreciated. The walks nearby are beautiful and we took some of the more adventurous routes which resulted in some spectacular snowy photograph's. There is one important thing to note, the lane up to the barn is littered with potholes and adds a good 5-10 mins to each journey, so does requires patience. The lane leads to other farms so we assumed it was not just the owners responsibility and with us all being in the festive spirit from the local Christmas markets, it didn't bother us too much. There is a small incline up to the barn which did prove very challenging in the winter weather (it has snowed the night before we arrived), so is another factor to consider if you are traveling to the Barn in poor weather. Overall though a brilliant holiday and we can't recommend Mosscarr Barn enough!

  Location. Size. Parking for two cars. The earliest check in was 4pm. I was emailed a key safe code for the front door only to find it was empty. I then spent several frustrating minutes trying to ring Host & Stay only to get through to an answering phone. Eventually I got through to someone who gave me a completely different code for a different key safe! I eventually was able to enter the property. It was large and modern as described but with several basic items missing. A small sachet of shower gel was provided in each bathroom but no shampoo. Some of the rooms had nowhere to hang clothes. There was no toaster or large bowls in the kitchen. The handle for the oven grill was missing so we were unable to make toast. There were no hairdryers or iron or ironing board. The check out time was 10am which we thought was ridiculously early considering what I’d paid to use the property. It was the worst equipped house I have ever hired. All these things in isolation are minor and would be easy to fix. Also after booking you are forced to pay an additional damage deposit which I was not warned about.

  Highly recommend!

  True 5 star property. Absolutely superb luxurious barn conversion in tranquil rural location, with everything you could wish for. Nicely decorated and well thought out with lots of space for everyone, books, games, dvd’s, jigsaws, netflix and even spare wellies! 15 min walk to closest pub (Bridge Inn) and pleasant 30 min walk into centre of Pateley Bridge for shops, pubs, butcher, baker, ice cream etc.The barn was spotless and well equipped with lots of lovely touches to make you feel welcome. Generous welcome hamper, chocolates on beds, toiletries, guest welcome booklet with maps for local walks and information on shops, food and activities. Recommend the circular walk into Pateley Bridge and back. Good pub food and nice atmosphere at the Crown Inn. Pancake House served up super yummy food and ice cream. If you fancy something a bit more upmarket Olleys Italian Restaurant was fab. The barn is at the end of a long farm track but it is gravel and flat and as long as you drive slowly (10pm) it is absolutely fine. It’s a nice walk along the path to the pub and town.

  I really don’t know where to start .

  We stayed with our friends so 3 couples & 2 dogs . We did ask if we could bring 3 dogs which the owner did say yes . One of our friends decided to leave their dog at home . We all had a beautiful bedroom & ensuite bathroom & a window with a view . I always take extra things like salt & pepper , foil, bin liners just little things that over the years hasn’t been in accommodation we’ve stayed in. I didn’t need to do this here if I had known they had everything & I mean everything !!! Just take yourselves , food , drink ect . The only thing I would say is the lane ( farm track ) is like a field so no good for sports cars . We was ok with our apart from one car but we didn’t take that car out again until it was home time but just be aware . Maybe one more thing would be to have some nice outdoor furniture for summer months . Just to make it very luxurious but again we didn’t need it the time of year we stayed . We was also lucky enough to meet the owner Mary & she was so lovely & it was nice to hear her story of the Barn renovation & that she was brought up there

  The house was beautiful and spotlessly clean. The rooms were immaculate and the bedding was perfect, beds were comfortable. Once we turned the heating was turned on it was lovely and warm. Our issues were that there was no key in the key safe, we were refused an extension on the stay for an hour but couldn’t get in the house for an hour and a half. The communication regarding the key was sent to a call centre, transferred to someone in England who asked load of silly questions on which box, where was the box all while stood out in the poring rain:( The next issue was the beds, we requested for the available bedrooms to be made into two doubles. After contacting again they told us they could do it on the next day. We only stayed 2 nights so totally pointless at that time. One of the downstairs bedrooms smelled really badly of sewage, looking back at some reviews this is not the first time. There was also a broken glass in the cupboard. Although we had problems the house was lovely.
