We stayed here as a group of 9 friends to celebrate my 30th birthday and had the most amazing time. The house is absolutely beautiful — and even more impressive in person than in the photos.The location is lovely and peaceful, with stunning views from the house and the hot tub that made the house feel even more special. There’s also a great farm shop and a pub within walking distance, both of which we visited and would definitely recommend.All of us said we would love to go back again in the future. It was the perfect place for a special celebration and such a memorable stay, I’ve already recommended it to family and friends!

We had a fantastic stay at Bolster Moor Barn. The cottage is absolutely beautiful and had everything we could have wished for during our visit. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the underfloor heating throughout made the whole place feel warm and cosy. There was loads of space too, which made it perfect for relaxing and unwinding. Overall, a wonderful place to stay, we’d definitely recommend it and would love to return!
