We had a lovely time at the Barn, and couldn’t have felt more welcomed! Sarah is an amazing host and went above and beyond for us during our stay. Her dad was also a great help! The Barn is a great value for money, the pictures do not do it justice! It’s huge! It had basically all you could need for a long weekend stay. Couldn’t recommend it enough, thank you so much for having us we will definitely be back☺️

The Barn was ideal for an extended family holiday. It was great having a bathroom for each bedroom and a dining table big enough for us all to eat together.The beds and sofas were really comfortable. The kitchen is huge and has enough equipment to cook a banquet!We were given a really lovely warm welcome from Richard, Jo and Sarah. They are very good hosts and were available if we needed anything.The location of The Barn was perfect, so quiet with lovely views, only a short drive to Skipton and a bridle path right outside the front door.Thank you for a lovely weekend
