• "Thank you for a great week away, the property has all the facilities we could have asked for and more!"

  The property was clean and comfortable. Everything was excellent quality and really felt like a luxury home from home. We had great fun in the games room which had something for everyone and certainly kept our kids entertained. The outdoor area was lovely and private and such a good space to relax. The lighting provided a lovely atmosphere and the views from the hot tub were stunnning. The welcome basket was much appreciated and the information in the folder was very useful. The negatives of our stay were that the internet was not very stable and we were unable to use the tv for streaming services, the noise from people walking around upstairs was extremely loud downstairs so disturbed our sleep and the locks on the bathroom doors are ‘bolts’ and not built into the door which is dangerous, especially with children or guests with disabilities.

  Thank you for your wonderful 5-star rating of Parlour Barn, we’re so pleased to have received top marks from you and your comments are fantastic, thank you so much! Sorry to hear you had a few minor issues, but we appreciate you raising them after your stay as we’re always striving for perfection. We have invested in the very best broadband capacity for our guests and not had issues previously, however as with your home broadband this can occasionally slow slightly when streaming simultaneously on multiple devices. The property is a unique upside-down layout, so the living spaces on the first floor can take full advantage of the fabulous views. Sorry to hear the other people in your party didn’t respect your rest time if they were up late/early, but we’re glad this didn’t spoil your stay. The door locks are standard fittings and in line with safety standards, but thanks for flagging this, we’ll take a look just to be sure. Thanks for taking the time and trouble to leave your comments. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and found the facilities to be even better than you’d expected Property Owner

• "An amazing place to stay: We went as a family to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday and what a treat it was!"

  Everything you need for a relaxing stay - hot tub, games room, lovely walks and stunning accommodation. We will certainly be recommending Parlour Barn to family and friends and we will definitely be returning. Lots of lovely photos in the snow and a weekend to remember. Thank you so much!

• "Parlour Barn was one of the cleanest and well equipped homes that we have stayed in."

  The photos don't do the place justice. The facilities are excellent and the games room was such a great feature. Plenty of games to choose from! The kitchen was very well equipped with everything that we needed for our stay. The bedrooms were very comfortable with quality mattresses and a great selection of pillows. I would highly recommend staying at Parlour Barn, and would happily return in the future.

• "This property, the facilities and the ambiance are perfect!"

  It was a luxurious treat to stay here. Loved every second of our stay. One suggestion would be that I would have found it really helpful to have the owner contact details at the point of booking so that I could check availability of the dog boarding option. Sykes wouldn’t give this to me until full payment was taken, which left it too close to the date of arrival. We used another local option which was great, but I’d have absolutely booked in with the owners had I had the ability to do so at the point of booking.

• "Wow! Absolutely stunning accommodation, everything you could ever need!"

  ! A cupboard full of games (which we used a lot) and an amazing games barn with pool table, table tennis etc which was used extensively. Would definitely recommend this place, lots of open spaces for dog walking and an enclosed garden with sauna and hot tub. Would definitely return......

• "Fantastic location and the holiday home is equipped with the very best of everything you could possibly need."

  We've stayed in many holiday homes over the years and this was the very best. Very good chance we'll be coming back. Our little Staffie was a bit freaked out with the frequent bird scarer or shotgun noises in the area (we visited in late July), but that's hardly the owner's fault.

• "Another wonderful stay at Parlour Barn."

  Centrally located so we can all meet up as a family. Truly delightful and well fenced garden for our dogs. The sauna and hot tub most welcome after a good days walking. Visited the pottery factory shops on this occasion and got some good bargains at the Emma Bridgewater shop. There are a great selection of board games inside and outside in the wooden shed for when the weather is dry.

• "Best by far cottage we have stayed in."

  Out side facilities was perfect for all weather conditions. Games room, was fun, tried new games & renewed our skills on old ones. All equipment you needed in cottage was available for us & our dogs, nothing lacking.

• "Absolutely faultless."

  This is a very well thought out property. It is well equipped, makes the most of the location and is brilliantly set out. Sunshine on the patio at breakfast and sunset either in the hut, hot tub or lower garden. Bed comfort was divine. We all hit the pillows and slept really well. The open plan layout is great when one is cooking, others playing board games or reading at the same time. Lots of lovely touches like the welcome pack, fresh flowers and toiletries. Fantastic location, easy access to daytime adventures and peaceful at night when you kick back and enjoy the magnificent views. All you hear is birdsong and farm animals, minimal passing traffic. The games barn, hot tub and heated hut take care of what to do when you're not out and about exploring. This property has all eventualities covered. A little constructive feedback: if we'd known that the lower floor was out of bounds for dogs we'd have given this place a miss.......and it would have been our loss! Thankfully we'd taken a vets pheromone spray so having their bed in a strange place away from hoomans wasn't a deal breaker. Also for small breed dogs the garden is not 100% secure. The patio table obscures a visible gap in the chicken wire and our shihtzu's discovered it. Again no great harm done, a little vigilance kept them and the cows apart. There is so much more space for them to play and explore. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here and would strongly recommend it.

• "We had a fantastic holiday and relax with the family at the Barn, the whole site is really well equipped and maintained."

  We specifically really enjoyed the games room and enclose garden which our dogs loved. We would highly recommend.

• "We stayed at the adjoining barn (pastures barn)last year so thought we’d try parlour this year and we weren’t disappointed."

  Both barns we stayed in were immaculately presented and are kitted out with everything you could need. Lovely discreet location but yet within a 5minutes drive you have all you need. Hoping to visit again next year.

• "If you are looking at the Parlour Barn STOP scrolling & book ."

  An amazing holiday home, so thoughtfully put together, gorgeous interiors & so very well equipped. You will not find a better range of facilities, hot tub, sauna, log burner, dog friendly & lots of extra little touches from the owners. The games shack is brilliant & gave us hours of great competitive fun. Peaceful, picturesque location but in easy reach of lovely rural towns. We stayed in December & the barn was beautifully decorated for Christmas.

• "Wow, what a beautiful holiday home parlour barns is."

  We spent 7 truly amazing nights here celebrating our engagement along with our family and the memories we have created here will never be forgotten. This place has everything including the sauna, hot tub, all the kitchen appliances with the ice machine, all of the board games AND a huge game’s room that has its own karaoke machine and tuned piano that we spent many hours having fun. I could not fault this place and if you’re looking at this wondering whether to book it or not… BOOK IT you will not be disappointed. We will be back again next year for sure.

  Fantastic amenities both within and outside the property, all high quality and well maintained .

• "Totally awesome property."

  Superbly equipped with everything we could possibly need. Great touches like the robes, spa towels and doggy towels. Love the tasteful decor and homely feel. Games room made the trip and allowed us to keep two 16 year olds entertained and off their phones!! Loved the whole experience and hope to return.
