Guests say
Jim's Barn is highly praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and scenic location. Guests appreciate the well-equipped facilities, including underfloor heating and entertainment options. The welcoming hosts and thoughtful touches, such as complimentary eggs, milk, and biscuits, contribute to a homely feel. The property's proximity to walking paths and local pubs is also commended, although some guests noted limited walking directly from the property and challenges with parking.
Reviewers consistently mention the property as 'spotlessly clean', indicating a high standard of cleanliness that contributes to a comfortable stay.
The property's rural setting offers fantastic scenic views and is ideal for walking on the Moors. However, some guests noted the need to drive to walks and the narrow access road.
Guests report very comfortable beds and a quiet environment conducive to good sleep, with the added bonus of underfloor heating for extra cosiness.
The property is described as well-equipped with games, Wi-Fi, and TV. The open plan living area and kitchen are particularly liked, although there is a mention of a minor issue with a smoke alarm.
The hosts' warm welcome and the provision of complimentary items are appreciated, though it is politely noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

Lovely well appointed cottage in a stunning location on a farm. Our 3 little boys loved it and really enjoyed seeing all the animals especially the geese! Lots of easy access walks for little legs and a pram along the canal in the nearby villages of Diggle, Uppermill and Marsden.

It was very quiet at night, so we slept very well. The hosts also stopped by to welcome us and ask whether we had any questions or additional requirements. We felt very much at home and the eggs, milk and biscuits on our arrival were a welcome bonus. The accommodation was also within walking distance of our dry stone walling course on a nearby farm.
