  Amazing property and people!

  What an amazing place almost magical, my children were ready to move in! Everything you needed was at the barn, I took tea towels, washing up liquid, sponges and dog bowls etc but it was so well equipped I needn't of bothered. Katie and David have thought of everything! On entering the property on arrival there was a basket on the table with fresh eggs from the farm, biscuits, tea towel, snacks a little welcome note all in a lovely little basket. I have a toddler and was a bit worried about the stairs after reading the reviews but they are fine and beautiful. Each step has large flat grips on them and they were normal size if not bigger than normal and they had a wooden gate at the top which stopped the dogs from getting up and said toddler from falling down, such a relief. Everywhere had blankets if needed my girls loved the sheep ones and an extra quilt for the main bed although it was warm enough we didn't need it. The children loved the playroom and just everything you can imagine was thought of at this barn. It was beautiful and the decor was just perfect for an old barn. I must also add I wasn't kept up by dogs or heard them hourly, they do have dogs but further away from the property and its a working farm in the countryside so you are surrounded by nature and farm. The views are amazing and so much to do right on the doorstep, literally! If you walk out of the barn there is a footpath behind the owners property that takes you across a field over a small road and small footpath again to three chimneys cottage from the film the railway children at the bottom of the hill is the railway line that was used and you can still journey on a steam train if you wanted. Haworth is along the road and home to the bronte sisters and lovely quaint shops. Katie and David are amazing people, i was a bit worried at first being so close to the owners property but they didn't interfere or come over it was i that was popping to see them. Such interesting people and katie showed us her harps and played for us, my autistic daughter never talks but happily talked to katie and fell in love with the harp, will definitely be booking again! Thank you Kate and David for a magical week! X

  What a wonderful stay we have had at mouldy wrap barn.

  . it’s a unique and quirky building and just absolutely amazing.. it’s peaceful and tranquil and has a wonderful air of calm about it… we were blessed with the best weather for the week and the barn was a welcome from the hot heat outside the barn stayed lovely and cool while the weather was boiling … but at night the barn held the temperature well due the building being old (very old actually) it’s a beautiful build.. we had the most amazing time.. the barn has a small enclosed garden that the doggies loved, it also had its own private park that the kids took full advantage of during the evening because we spent most day out doing things… there was load to do and the owners Katie and Dave where amazing and so helpful the whole time, they where a fountain of knowledge about the area and things to do and we took every opportunity to do all the things they suggested, from Hebden bridge, eureka centre, piece museum and my favourite was definitely the steam train ride from Oxenhope various destinations. We would highly recommend this as a day trip .. Katie and Dave made the stay so magical for the kids they got to see puppies and dove babies and a sheep being sheared and they have memories that will last them a lifetime…. The barn has everything you could need to live for a week or two… it was comfortable the beds where amazingly comfortable … we had read the reviews about the stairs and although it’s probably not ideal for people with low mobility there are two down stairs bedrooms making it accessible for everyone I think… it’s been the best week we have had for a very long time, the area is amazing the barn was spectacular and the owners are friendly and helpful… they never stopped working the whole time we were there they are hard workers and still found time to advise us when we needed them to… shops are super close and there is nothing you can’t find it has everything… if you’re considering a nice break away we would recommend mouldy barn it was fantastic… getting out in the Yorkshire air is exactly what we needed… thanks both for the best stay.. we hope to return again.. xx

  We had a lovely stay at this property.

  The owners were very friendly and helpful, and the place itself is incredibly charming, spacious and quaint. I can see why people come back. Having said that there were some issues we found frustrating...I was there as a single parent with 4 teenagers/young adults, and the wifi didnt work. We did try to sort it, the owners were helpful, but basically the only internet is via an extension in the farmhouse 15 paces and 2x 2 foot thick walls away. It didnt work, Im sure any parent of offspring can empathise with having four youngsters desperate to get online at night. There is 4G, but they ran out of data on day 2. Basically, the place needs its own wifi. The gas oven was very poor, it took an hour to cook oven chips (I finished them on the hob eventually), and it kept just going out. The TV needs replacing, the picture is pink and a speaker has blown, considering it was autum and we had no wifi, the TV would have been appreciated, but we found it too frustrating. Lastly the place is toasty warm except for the kitchen/dining area which was freezing cold. One of the radiators wasnt working, so it needs additional heating, particularly if you consider we were there in relatively mild autumn conditions, in winter it would be unusable. All in all though, it was great, and I hope the owners consider this feedback not as critisism, but as a way of understanding how to really improve the experience of staying in their lovely Barn :)

  My wife and daughter and my dog and I had 5 nights at Moldy Warp Barn in the run up to Halloween 2021.

  We were looking for a rustic getaway, walks on the moors, dramatic scenery and a warm comfy home for family evening relaxation. Moldy Warp Barn offers all of this with tons of charm thrown in for good measure. Our hosts were friendly and helpful with a few interesting tales to tell of the local area and greeted us with local honey, wine and Yorkshire Parkin. The barn itself has all the modern conveniences we needed including a solid Wi-Fi connection. Thick walls and flagstone floors, steep staircases, beamed ceilings and wood panelling all added to the sense of authentic, rural charm. Our days were spent exploring the world of the Bronte sisters, seeking out dramatic waterfalls or pottering through the beautiful local towns with great local pubs. Our evenings playing board games, cards or even watching a little TV in the grand high-beamed living room. If you like walking, adventure, history and culture, this hideaway in the Yorkshire Dales is a wonderful retreat any time of the year.

  Oct 22 - We stayed a week at Mouldy Warp Barn and had a fantastic time.

  The children aged 3, 8, 11 years all enjoyed running outside on walks to Penistone Moors where they climbed rocks and we came across a van selling hot chocolate and homemade brownies. We also walked to Oxenhope Park and took a football. We spent time playing board games and watched a film on a evening having snacks. The games room and park were excellent (kids loved it) and didn't want to go home at the end of the week. The owners were lovely and friendly and went out of their way to ensure we had a lovely stay and the barn was very clean. They let the children watch their dog round up the sheep, hold a puppy and stroke the goat. Puddy the cat came to say hello in a morning outside which my 3 year old niece got so excited about and now wants a kitten. Mouldy Barn took us back to our childhood when life was about going on walks, running in fields and spending quality time as a family together. Thank you for the welcoming pack on arrival.
