A beautiful and very well appointed barn conversion with fantastic views over the dales.
A beautiful and very well appointed barn conversion with fantastic views over the dales. The living room and kitchen are really spacious and classily decorated. Very helpful hosts, always on hand if we needed anything. The welcome pack was a lovely touch. A great base for trips to Skipton, Malham, Grassington and more.

Beautiful accommodation with stunning views, once the fog cleared! Perfect place for us to see the family, exchange presents, eat together and then enjoy the peace and tranquillity once they went home. The grandchildren loved the mezzanine level which they thought was a castle and where they played happily whilst the adults chatted below. We hope to be back.

Beautiful location remote but very peaceful.
Beautiful location remote but very peaceful. Barn very high spec with huge number of personal touches re decor. Views breathtaking. Complementary wine milk, fruit juice. , basket of fruit and biscuits all unexpected and a lovely touch. Immaculate and at time of writing only a year old. Only one criticism and that is the steps from sitting room to kitchen due to colour of carpet and fact step in same flooring as rest of the kitchen you do not see them and are as a result a significant trip hazard - could be easily sorted by putting a chrome edge in. But all in all a beautiful place to stay and explore
