What can I say apart from wow ! This converted barn is wonderful, the beds and pillows are so comfortable, we all had such good quality sleep. The towels are large, soft and fluffy and dressing gowns were a bonus. The kitchen is so well equipped, everything we needed we found. The barn is full of quirky items from times gone by that take you down memory lane. Sarah the host was so helpful and has done a fantastic job putting this place together like she has. The welcome pack was great too. Great places to visit in the area, including Grassington, Skipton and its castle, Oakworth local train station complete with passing steam train, and last but not least the Brontë museum.T

We had a lovely Christmas staying at the Barn. The cottage was perfect for us and had everything we needed. Toilet/shower in each bedroom✅️, tv in each bedroom ✅️, downstairs toilet ✅️, amazing kitchen and separate dining room ✅️. Beds were extremely comfortable and the logburner in the lounge was lovely to have at night. Lots of great walks and hiking trails close by. The owner of the property was lovely we got to meet her on the last day. She was always happy to reply to the odd query we had and we will definitely be coming back for another relaxing stay. Thank you 😊
