Our stay at the barn was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Sarah and her dad, whose friendliness and helpfulness made us feel instantly at home. Their genuine hospitality truly set the tone for a memorable visit.The setting itself is beautiful, surrounded by a charming local community where everyone we met was incredibly kind and welcoming. One of the highlights of our stay was meeting the Highland cows such a special experience! We were even lucky enough to help feed them with the guidance of a local farmer, which made it all the more memorable.The Farm Barn exceeded our expectations in every way. It was wonderfully spacious, giving us plenty of room to relax and enjoy quality time together as a family. We especially loved gathering around for meals in the open living area, and our evenings spent by the fireplace were simply perfect cozy, peaceful, and full of laughter.The blend of rustic charm and modern comfort created a true “rustic luxury” experience that we won’t soon forget. If you’re looking for a relaxing countryside escape with warmth, character, and unforgettable moments, we couldn’t recommend this place more highly.

A property full of character and filled with appropriate antique farm tools giving it a rustic feel. The property is ideal for a larger family group. The beds were very comfortable and spacious. It was very well equipped and it had amazing views. The host Sarah was so helpful from before our arrival throughout the week we stayed giving us local information and recommendations for places to eat. Nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend this property for an ideal base to explore Brontë country.

We had such a lovely stay at the barn, Sarah was very welcoming and helpful, she let our girls and nephew help feed the sheep, even got to name 2 of the new babies which they loved and she even kept us updated on new lambs after we had left. Underfloor heating, and having a washing machine/tumble dryer is a bonus, especially when weather wasnt 100% and we got muddy. Beds were really comfortable, lots of kitchen utensils so had everything you needed too cook at home. Good location, Not too far from Skipton, keighley etc. Would definitely return. Everybody we met in the village were just as lovely as Sarah too.
