Guests appreciate the flexible sleeping arrangements, sociable communal areas, and excellent walking opportunities from the doorstep.

The owners are described as responsive in challenging situations, though a few guests mention a lack of homely touches. Overall, it offers a memorable stay in beautiful countryside.
Reviews are mixed regarding cleanliness. Several guests found the property clean and comfortable, but a notable number reported issues such as dust, stained towels, dirty bathrooms, and a need for a deep clean. Some guests felt the property was not properly prepared before arrival, while others were satisfied. The average reflects this inconsistency.
The location is highly praised for its rural charm, proximity to walking routes, and easy access to Grassington, Skipton, and local amenities. Guests consistently highlight the beautiful countryside and convenience for exploring the Dales.
Most guests found the barn spacious, warm, and comfortable, especially for large groups. The flexible single bed arrangements and large communal areas are appreciated. However, some mention uncomfortable beds and a dated feel, with a few accessibility concerns for elderly guests.
The property is well-equipped for groups, with ample kitchenware, bathrooms, and parking. Guests value the large communal spaces and garden. However, some mention maintenance issues, outdated decor, and a need for refurbishment. Occasional problems with heating and hot water were reported but generally resolved quickly.
A few guests mention thoughtful touches such as fresh flowers, but many note a lack of basics like milk, hand soap, or welcome gifts. While some owners were responsive and helpful in difficult situations, gifts or extras are not guaranteed and should not be expected.

We came well equipped for a 10 member family gathering. The cottage had everything we needed so we were over prepared. Wonderfully cool in the hot weather. Quiet and private with beautiful country walks on the doorstep.Well stocked Spar shop a short drive away.

The Barn was very suitable for us, but i thought you might provide basics, like salt, oil for cooking, washing up liquid. Also in the bathrooms hand soap. It is quite easy now a days to have small soap dispensers that can be easily topped up as necessary. My wife and I stayed in a very nice but simple cottage also rented via Cottages. Com and they left us a newly baked loaf, biscuits and Jam, all a very nice touch.
