"WOW, if we could give more than 5 stars we certainly would."
The barn was fabulous and I think the only thing we didnt like was that we had to come home after our week was over. Hazel and Charlie were fantastic hosts from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We were warm and cosy, the bed was super comfy, the shower was wonderful. We loved feeding the Alpacas and watching them when they visited the lounge window. Treat Tuesday Hazel brought the most delicious cake. Thank you for the wine, milk, teabags, biscuits etc. Rushton Barn is excellently placed for Yorkshire Dales and Forest of Bowland. Plenty of walking directly from the Barn and having Giggleswick train station 5 mins walk away is ideal for getting to places without having to use the car. Will we be going back ??? You bet we will ❤️. Julie n Steve

"What a wonderful welcome from the moment we arrived."
The owners were very pleasant and very welcoming. They gave us advice of where to go and how to get there. The local pub (5 minutes away was very good. The accommodation was very good with little added touches that we were happy with. The consideration from the owners was second to none. We will recommend this accommodation to all and will help to spread the word far and wide. It is a wonderful place to be! There is plenty to occupy you in the area. A must visit is the .local Cheese Daries. In one word WONDERFUL!

"Lovely accommodation."
Perfect for our needs, two of us and a small dog. It is spotlessly clean and in an excellent location. Close to a pub, a railway station and a pleasant walk into Settle. It also comes with a couple of treats provided by the nice owners of the property. This was our fifth visit. Glyn and Christine Robinson

"A lovely cottage in a great, peaceful location."
Beautifully presented, very comfortable and with great country views - alpacas in the next field! The owners were friendly and helpful and a great pub/restaurant just up the road. A lovely walk into nearby Settle, too. Excellent all round.
-
"The cottage was superb in every detail."
Comfort, cleanliness even the position in relation to views etc. The owners were always helpful and very friendly. Their property was within the location but there was no intrusion at all. We cannot fault the friendliness and helpfulness of the owners or the property. The property is definitely a 5 star rating. Would strongly recommend this property to friends etc.
-
"Beautiful cottage, in a gorgeous location."
Perfect in every way. Very dog friendly and an enclosed private garden area with views over fields and alpacas in the field next door. The owners made us & our dog feel very welcome. Just a short walk to a lovely pub/restaurant and there are lovely walks from the cottage and around the Settle area. We’ll definitely be visiting again.
-
"Excellently presented one bedroom cottage in a great location."
A great base to visit the many sites in and around the area. Shops and pub within easy reach. Good concise instructions for accessing the property. Owners were on hand if needed. Lovely holiday.

"Rushton Barn was absolutely perfect!"
Our hosts Hazel and Charlie were so welcoming, the accommodation they provided was first class, spotlessly clean with lots of lovely homely and well equipped got our self catering stay. The local pub/ hotel is two minutes walk away, serving well kept ales and delicious food. The barn itself is well situated to enable exploring all that the Dales have to offer and the local town of Settle is a short walk away. It was my wife’s birthday whilst we were at the Barn and we arrived back from our day out to find a gift and banner attached to our door, such a thoughtful touch, also our midweek treat of raspberry and cream Victoria sponge was delicious and delightful. So in summary, a big thank you to Hazel and Charlie for making this a holiday to remember.

"Lovely comfortable little place."
We had a great weekend. Very welcoming owners (bottle of wine was a lovely touch) feeding alpacas from the window just fantastic. Xxx

"This is the second time we have stayed in Rushton Barn , is absolutely perfect in every way, The property is perfect, well equipped, everything you could need to a very high standard."
It’s location is excellent quiet but yet handy to Settle and the Dales. The owners are lovely, friendly and will make your stay the best. We can’t recommend Ruston Barn enough, it’s perfect. We will definitely be booking again, can’t wait.
-
"This is a really lovely place to stay."
The cottage itself - which is the ground floor 'apartment' of the barn - is delightful. Hazel and Charlie have gone to great effort to make it very comfortable and welcoming, with many lovely touches. They were super hosts - even checking what colour wine I would like as they left a bottle of wine along with milk, etc ready for my arrival. There was even a 'Tuesday Treat' - a really delicious, large slice of cream sponge cake - as an extra. There is everything you need for a relaxing stay - and when I was unsure about using the woodburning stove, they kindly offered to come across to start it off. The little, sheltered garden outside the front door is delightful - and I really enjoyed being given food to feed the alpacas who live in the neighbouring field. Hazel was very happy to suggest places to visit, restaurants for meals/coffee, etc, which was really helpful, but they were never at all intrusive. Perfect hosts, in fact! I have already been recommending this cottage to friends as it really is a gem, set in a beautiful rural location, but within easy driving distance of Settle. Thank you, Hazel and Charlie.

"We have just returned from rushton barn , what a cosy , beautifully furnished barn conversion it is."
Hazel & Charlie are a lovely couple who want you to have the best holiday. The welcome treats & gifts were delicious & much appreciated. The Alpacas were a highlight of our stay they came to say hello every morning. The views & wildlife were lovely to sit & watch , and the barn had everything we needed , with all the essentials there for you to use to stay in on a cold night with the log burner on. We would highly recommend rushton barn & we are looking to return

"Really lovely stay at Rushton Barn."
Cosy and comfortable with the most beautiful views!
-
"Excellent cottage owed by lovely people."
Great place to stay with peaceful setting but close to travel link to all major attractions nearby.
-
"What an absolute gem!"
We were greeted by the property owners who made us feel really welcome. The property was spotless and presented to us in pristine condition. I’d said in advance that we would be celebrating my wife’s birthday during our stay & the owners had put up “happy birthday” banners in advance of our arrival, plus a complimentary bottle of wine, box of chocolates & nice teas & coffees to make us feel welcome. Rushton barn is warm & cosy with comfortable furniture and a nice bed. The bathroom is good with a big walk-in shower. In the lounge there is a big TV with NETFLIX, a log burning stove and picture windows with great views. Outside the property there is a secure (dog proof) private garden. In the adjacent field are 3 Alpacas
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rushton Barn."
Hazel & Charlie made us feel most welcome, (as did the alpacas). We were not disappointed with the accommodation. Lots of good walks available close by. We would definitely return.

"A praise sandwich."
.. Good, clean and very pretty with lovely hosts. Bad, the description on the sykes site is misleading as this is not a barn conversion with accomodation on one level it's a flat with another flat above you. I would never EVER book a holiday in a flat! The host house is called one name the holiday flat we had is called another name and the upstairs flat is called something else, why, well I believe it is to ensure you are not aware of the above flat when looking. Kept awake one night as above occupant violently ill.. just what you want ! The plumbing sounds from above are intrusive, That said, the area is lovely, the alpacas are sweet. The log burner doesn't realy work as there is no grate, been lighting wood and coal fires for 30 years and this was neither use nor ornament.
We’re truly sorry you were disappointed with Rushton Barn We can ensure you it’s a barn conversion dating back to 1750 and is not a flat As for the names this is for booking purposes and states it’s ground floor As the Log Burner it’s not DUAL FUEL they don’t come with a grate Had you told us you were struggling we would have shown you how to use it although there is clear instructions The reviews show our customers are very happy and it makes us sad that this was not the case for you Property Owner

"We love coming here."
Perfect for our needs, two adults and a dog. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Beautiful location surrounded by rural views. Alpacas and sheep greet you daily. Lovely hosts with treats. Glyn and Christine

"Rushton Barn was in an ideal place for using as a base and enjoying the landscapes of the Yorkshure Dales ."
From Bolton Abbey walks to Ribblehead via duct walk to Janet's Foss Gordale Scar and Malham Cove. Driving the sites of the Buttertub pass to Tan Hill Pub Hawes and so much more . EXtremely comfortable accommodation . Loved feeding the Alpacas daily . Hazel and Charlie very accommodating . Loved treat night thank you so much for being so attentive.
-
"From prior to our arrival to arriving back home we were 100% happy with our cottage and the owners."
Rushton barn was immaculate, comfortable, cosy, well equipped and far beyond our expectations. The owners were friendly, cheerful, helpful, very professional and approachable. This was our best holiday cottage experience EVER, (the dogs loved it too) We felt sad when our week came to an end but we will certainly go back. We would highly recommend it! Give it a try, you won’t regret it!
-
"Just back from another week at Rushton Barn, and it was as lovely as ever."
Spotlessly clean, welcoming and well equipped. Hazel and Charlie are amazing hosts and thoughtful to the point of remembering we are vegan. Even the dog was considered with a filled and ready water bowl, dog treats and poo bags. The location is amazing, great views and totally relaxing. The Craven Arms local pub is dog friendly and less than a 5 minute walk, has a good food menu and a well stocked bar. The cottage is ideally located for walking the dales or day trips out to the lakes and further afield, but there is so much to do close by. Yorkshire has become our favourite place to holiday and Rushton Barn ticks ALL the boxes we look for in a cottage. Looking forward to going back next year.

"My wife and I have stayed at a number of cottages over the years, all of which have been of a good standard."
However, Rushton Barn stands out for a number of reasons. First and foremost is the attention to detail provided by the hosts; they go to great depths to ensure everything is just right, from text messages leading up to arrival, greeting on arrival, a bottle of wine, milk, and bowl of water for the dog to refresh. The barn is just outside Giggleswick which is a lovely, quiet, small village close to the market town of Settle. Far enough away to feel relaxed from the hustle and bustle of modern life but close enough for supplies. The barn conversion has been done to a high standard, with a hedge and gate separating the cottage from the main house. Laid to grass it is perfect for those staying with a dog. The inside is small but more than ample for a couple with a good-sized bathroom. The neighbours can be quite inquisitive, don't be surprised if they come up to the window to see what you are doing. Again the hosts provide a carton of appropriate food to feed the Alpacas and the board has details of their names. Overall, we had a wonderful week exploring the Dales and Lakes; Rushton Barn was a fantastic base to come home. The Craven Arms, just a few hundred yards down the road, proved an excellent facility for liquid refreshments, excellent food, and dog friendly in the bar area. We would highly recommend this property. Paul & Ali
-
"Rushton barn is a wonderful location and property to have a quiet escape."
I had a lovely time exploring the local surrounds, for which there is loads to do, or just staying at home with a book and reading in the peace and quiet. The alpacas and goats in the field next door are fun! Hazel and Charlie are wonderful and make you feel at ease and are ready to answer any questions. I look forward to returning!
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at Rushton Barn ."
Hazel and Charlie made us feel so welcome and nothing was to much trouble. The property was spotlessly clean with everything we needed plus a few extras which were most welcome. Will definitely be back when we visit this area again and recommend to friends.
-
"Fantastic place to stay!"
Hazel and charlie are very welcoming and excellent hosts, nothing is too much trouble. The cottage is just right for a couple or one person, its clean comfortable and well equipped. Its lovely amd quiet with the added bonus of alpacas in the adjacent field. The location is excellent for both walking and mountain bike riding (my preference) with loads of routes from the door. Pub is 200yds away and does good food, village of Settle is 5min drive with good shopping. I would thoroughly recommend staying here you will not be disappointed.
-
"What a great week we have had at Rushton Barn and to top it the weather was perfect too."
The barn was brilliant and had everything we needed even a bottle of wine on arrival and surprise cream cakes in the week, the hosts Hazel and Charlie were so friendly and helpful. The surrounding countryside was beautiful and the adjoining field was with Alpacas of which Hazel gave us food to feed them and yes walks and bike rides from the door if the car needs a rest. We will recommend and certainly come again. So it's a 10 from us. Arthur and Norma

"We had a great week in Rushton Barn and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it."

"Had a lovely holiday here with our dog."
Accommodation was perfect for a week's stay with the added attraction of alpacas in the adjacent field who frequently visited at the window. Found plenty of beautiful walks in the surrounding area. Owners were very welcoming and delivered a lovely mid week homemade treat, which was delicious.

"Perfect accommodation for our needs, two of us and a small dog."
Cottage is immaculate and hosts are lovely, providing a few treats. We love the location. We have now been three times and will most likely go again.
-
"The hosts were very friendly and kind, we really enjoyed our stay."
The food for the alpacas in the field behind the property was great, they came up to us regularly and were very tame. There was everything you could want in the the property and we can really recommend a stay there.
-
"Property was lovely and spotless."
Biscuits, milk and a bottle of wine was left for us from Hazel and her husband. Even some dog biscuits for Deeks and Betsy. Lovely couple who made us very welcome. Hazel even delivered some eggs from her hens and some lovely cakes for a local bakery. The alpacas in the fileld next to us were fab. Had great fun feeding them. Fantastic views from our window and garden.
-
"I could go on & on about how amazing this cottage is."
Hower, the short version: We had an amazing holiday at Rushton Barn. We were greeted with typical Northern hospitality from our wonderful hosts Hazel & Charlie. The cottage is spotlessly clean, well equipped, welcoming and we instantly felt at home, as did our dog who also considered with treats, bowls poo bags as well as being made a fuss of. Though never intrusive, Hazel and Charlie were always available and nothing was too much trouble. We were kept well supplied with food for our Alpaca neighours, which was a real treat when they would greet us at the window and over the garden wall. We have stayed at self catering cottages for many years; for us, this was by far our best holiday, Rushton barn has become our favourite place which is why for the first time ever we have re-booked for next summer. Two minute walk to a great friendly pub that does good food (make sure you book) at the Craven Arms. If you got into Settle The Wonky Cafe is well worth a visit. Great breakfasts, cakes and pies.
-
"Lovely place."
Very peaceful. The property is beautifully presented and has everything you could need. Pretty little private garden area. Perfect for sitting and eating outside. Feeding the alpacas over the wall was great fun. Lovely views over the countryside and very well positioned for exploring the Yorkshire dales.
-
"We can heartily recommend this property."
It was all we were hoping for ie a lovely place to relax and enjoy the local area.The owners made us very welcome we felt as though we knew them well and the alpacas where just as friendly!!!We will certainly be returning to visit this property in the future.
-
"We loved our week there , especially as the weather was kind ."
The barn is fitted out to a very high standard and very clean . We enjoyed being able to sit out in the garden and the alpacas were an added bonus !. Location is great for walking into Settle or day trips exploring by car. The extra touches eg eggs , custard tarts were very nice!

"Lovely cottage in a great location for dog walking."
The hosts were incredibly friendly and made us feel very welcome giving us food to feed the alpacas and dropping off some of their chicken's eggs. I'd highly recommend a stay here and will certainly be coming back!
-
"Hazel and Charlie are excellent hosts and have created first-class holiday accommodation which is warm and welcoming."
When we arrived, we were met at the gate by Hazel who showed us around the property and then left us to get settled in. The welcome pack was especially appreciated (including by Lincoln who had his own biscuits) as was the fact that everywhere was spotlessly clean, doing full justice to the very high standard of finish throughout the property. The kitchen lacks for nothing, the TV has a Netflix account already logged in and the broadband connection is amazing. There really is nothing to fault this accommodation on. It's conveniently located, in a quiet location, has great views, and enjoyable walks from outside the front gate. We have stayed in a number of holiday lets recently and this is by far the best both in terms of the hosts and the quality of the accommodation. The reason for such positive reviews is that it is such a positive experience. We can't recommend it highly enough. Alan, Marc & Lincoln
-
"Well what more can I say that other guests haven't already said, from the start of our weeks holiday to the finnish it was an absolute joy, such a warm greeting and oh boy what a super location and the Barn was truly loved, it is the best holiday cottage experience we have had, and if i go on about it too much it will always be booked and we won't be able to visit again, which we can't wait to do."
Thank you so much Hazel and Chris just keep doing what you are doing you're the best !!
-
"Hazel and Charlie greeted us with a warm welcome."
The property was spotlessly clean, lovely and warm (mid January stay), well equipped with a fabulous bathroom including a great shower. Most welcome after a day walking. The garden which provided us with superb views across the rolling countryside was ideal for our small dogs. Rushton Barn is the perfect location for exploring the Dales and the Forest of Bowland. Thank you Hazel and Charlie. We enjoyed a lovely ,comfortable week.

"We had a lovely couple of days at Rushton Barn."
The entire place was spotlessly clean with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was fab, a 2 min walk to a dog friendly pub and only 15 min walk into the town centre of Settle. Hazel was wonderfully attentive, a truly fantastic host! Loved the wine and biscuits on arrival - such a lovely touch. The WiFi/big TV was also a bonus as it meant we could curl up in front of the log burner after our long walks and unwind watching films. We would love to come back and would fully recommend.
-

"The cottage was lovely, very clean, comfortable and had everything you needed."
The owners Hazel and Charlie are very nice and helpful and treated us to biscuits, wine, fresh eggs and lovely custard slices on market day. The sheep come right up to the lounge window, much to my pleasure and my dogs. The cottage is in a great area for walking and the craven arms just down the road does great food and is dog friendly. We loved our stay at the cottage and will definitely go back. I highly recommend this cottage.
-
"We had a really lovely, comfortable stay at Rushton Barn."
It is impeccably clean, and Hazel has thought of everything. There were so many touches to make you feel so welcome from the decor to ‘Treat Tuesday’, we felt really looked after. Thank you both so much. Make sure you walk Hazels route into Settle through Giggleswick, it is stunning. We loved Settle, such a lovely feeling to it. We had some lovely meals at The Knights Table and The Talbot Arms, unfortunately the Craven Arms was not open while we were there. So much to see, we will be back!

Fab location, great views from the garden, excellent hosts, would not hesitate to book again if staying in that part of the dales
-
"Was very surprised how rural the barn was as it was so easy park the park up for the week and you could hope on the trains and end up in York or Leeds or even travel on the world famous Settle to Carlisle line."
.Absolutely brilliant place to spend time and would and will be booking again.
-
"Excellent accommodation, very clean and well appointed."
The owners are lovely, very helpful and treat Tuesday was a great surprise! The area has several footpaths but unfortunately we couldn't use as our dog doesn't walk so well now, but the walk into Settle is good, about a mile so manageable for most. The pub across the road has some good beer, didn't try the food as you had to book. However the pubs in Settle were easier to drop in a get some food.
-
"The on-site owners were extremely helpful and understanding."
I would not hesitate in recommending this property to others wanting to stay in this beautiful part of the country.

"This was the perfect getaway for a cosy autumn weekend."
We came across Rushton Barn by chance and I’m so glad that we did. It’s a beautiful little cottage hidden in the moors and was so easy to find. It’s spotlessly clean, there was coffee, tea and milk in the fridge, fresh towels, Netflix ready to go and Hazel and Charlie even treated us to a bottle of red which was waiting for us on arrival. They couldn’t do enough for us from the minute we arrived and even sent us some directions for a lovely walk to take the dog on. We honestly can’t wait to go back. In the madness of the world today it was a little piece of heaven. Thanks for having us!
-
"We were not aware the Barn was open plan ie bedroom/living room or that there was another accomodation upstairs."

"This is a lovely spot for a holiday that feels like you are miles away from the hussle of everyday life but you're close to lots of great places to visit."
The barn is very comfortable and the owners are great. We'd highly recommend it.

"Perfect break."

"A week staycation is not our normal type of holiday but present Covid situation made us take this option this year ."
We love this part of the world having visited for a couple of days last year so hence choice of Rushton Barn . We were so pleased with our choice as the accommodation was perfect for 2 of us and met my extremely high requirements for cleanliness. I planned to cook a lot as still nervous to eat out and the kitchen had all I needed to make meals . Hazel and Charles are first class hosts and the little things they have thought about in the property make a lot of difference . While we were away it was my husband’s birthday and I had mentioned to Hazel on booking as wanted suggestion on any local places to eat out that day. Hazel had obviously made a note of this and produced a gift for his birthday - that is what I call going the extra mile The icing on the cake for me was the alpaca and sheep in the neighbouring field - such fun animals with great personalities - it’s not every where you can stay and have an alpaca looking in lounge window Thanks Hazel and Charles for letting us share part of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales for the week
-
"From start to finish this holiday was perfect."
On arrival Hazel & Charlie were so welcoming & thoughtful. They love dogs and our made our Labrador, Jaxon feel at home.Bottle of red wine for us on arrival which was really kind. The cottage is absolutely beautiful. immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. The bed is so comfortable.The views from the private garden were simply stunning. Our neighbours were really friendly too. ( the alpacas) Hazel kindly gave us some Alpaca food and the Aplacas eat it from our hands. Hazel also gave us fresh eggs from her chickens which was just lovely and half way through the week popped round with fresh sausages from the local butchers and a couple of vanilla slices too.We were overwhelmed by their kindness and hospitality. The local pub, the Craven arms , which is just over the road. Very friendly people, lovely food and again all dog friendly which ,made our holiday so relaxing. We visited settle which is in walking distance and lovely walks down the river side. Austwick has a beautiful stream and we enjoyed a walk to Clapham from there. Visited Elaines tea rooms in Fazier which is just lovely. Splendid sandwiches and cakes. Last day we walked from Langcliffe up to Little stainforth where we called in at the Knights table. Gorgeous views for miles and had a wonderful lunch there before walking back through Stainforth and visited the Lime works.Lots of interesting history.So much more we would like to see. We will definitely be re visiting this area next year and will be staying with Hazel & Charlie again at Rushton barn.

"We had such a wonderful holiday staying in Rushton Barn."
Hazel and Charlie were fantastic hosts and made us feel very welcome. The barn is gorgeous and was spotlessly clean when we arrived. It's in a fabulous location with a good pub a few minutes walk away. All the pubs and shops in the area are very well organised with systems that make you feel safe. Rushton Barn is the perfect place to stay with everything going on at the moment (but we would go back anytime). It's close to so many attractions and natural wonders too. You can't go wrong staying here and we loved it.

"The hosts were very hospitable nothing was too much trouble."
The barn 1st class very clean warm and cosy.Good location Would recommend to friends.

"Our holiday was amazing."
The accommodation was faultless and was based in beautiful surroundings. The hosts were so welcoming & friendly, we felt at home.
-
"No where in the listing did it mention there would be people staying above us making it feel more like an apartment rather than a quiet converted barn."
We found it particularly disturbing at meal times as the waste pipe was adjacent to the kitchen table and at bedtime when we could hear people moving about. In addition we could the TV upstairs. This was sad as it is a lovely conversion.
-
"Beautiful location, wonderful cottage, lovely hosts!"
Couldn’t ask for much more, we’ll maybe a comfortable sofa
Thank you for your feedback we have taken this on board. We have now replaced the sofa. Property Owner

"Rushton Barn, Truly the best holiday let we have ever had."
The accomodation is 1st class, with 5star treatment from the hosts. Hazel and Charlie go beyond they cannot do enough for you and extremely friendly , helpful and the extras they provide are a real treat. We would definitely return . Melanie Lovell

"Barn was spot on, plenty of space for a 2 person let, comfortable, great views (including alpacas!"
), owners friendly & helpful, central location great for Dales, walks from the door & easy access to Malham, Clapham, etc etc. Loved it.
-
"We had a lovely week at the Barn."
It is compact but fine for a couple and our dog. The owners were genuinely friendly, kind and helpful. It is very clean and well looked after, with everything you require and in a quiet peaceful position. Some lovely walks nearby and a nice pub within walking distance. Highly recommended.
-
"Thank you to Hazel & Charlie for making our stay special."
The Barn is high spec home from home and a great base for visiting the Lakes and surrounding areas. We would recommend to all our family and friends. We were welcomed by warm friendly people, who our German Shepherd took to straight away. He thoroughly enjoyed meeting the Alpacas, who were virtually part of the furniture!! Great stay, great people - we will book again.
-
"Our 3 night stay at this cosy little barn was wonderful."
It is well equipped, spotlessly clean and newly furbished. Complete with log burner, the barn is located behind the owner's own home but remains private and enjoys lovely views across the Dales with alpacas & sheep grazing right outside the window. The location is superb for walkers & within easy reach of many lovely Dales towns & villages. The owners are very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. I would highly recommend.
-
"Hazel and Charlie were fantastic in making sure we had a wonderful stay."
They were so warm and welcoming and provided us with a brilliant base as we explored the area. We would certainly recommend the cottage to others... just excellent. (Oh, and the alpacas were definitely a bonus!)
-
"The cottage was excellent and the owners were really kind an helpful."
Everything was spotless and apart from a sticking tap and door handle in the bathroom, the place is perfect. If they could add a hottub in the garden, we'd be back every year! It's in a great location with stunning views and loads of fantastic attractions and walks Nearby.
-
"Rushton Barn has everything you need."
Well equipped comfortable in a great position to explore the beautiful Yorkshire dales, plus a lovely garden and wonderful views. The owners Hazel and Charlie were lovely making us very welcome and had loads of local knowledge. Would definitely recommend Rushton Barn
-
"Beautiful barn surrounded by the wonderful Yorkshire Dales."
Newly refurbished to very high standard and has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. The owners live on site and a great source of local knowledge which helped us make the most of our stay.
-
"Rushton Barn was ideal for us, everything inside was first rate, outside was peaceful countryside with curlews calling and friendly alpacas in the adjacent field."
The owners were so welcoming and could not have been more helpful.
-
"The cottage was very well appointed with high spec fittings and furniture."
It was very comfortable and equipped with everything needed for self-catering. particularly impressive was the thought that went into the welcome, including a small container of milk - easily overlooked when packing - flowers, some complimentary cakes and a bottle of wine. Just the thing after a long tiring journey. Our hosts had asked us to phone when about 10 minutes drive away as the property has an electric gate and the process worked very smoothly. We were met, introduced to the property, had a few things explained as to what the facilities were and how they worked. Parking is off road behind the electric gate. You get a fob for the gate along with the keys to the property. Come and go as you will. Our hosts kept in touch by text if there was something important but otherwise we were left to ourselves. The resident alpacas kept us amused, especially when peering in through the window first thing in the morning. Disconcerting at first! Despite seeming to be "out in the wild", the local pub was well within staggering distance and provided excellent food at very reasonable prices. The local beer is well worth sampling. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend the cottage and our hosts Hazel and Charlie to anyone looking for a good taste of Yorkshire. Oh, and the dog enjoyed her stay as well - lots of new smells.
-
"Excellent hosts, very friendly and would certainly visit this property again."
-
"Just like to say from the moment we walked into Rushton Barn we felt instantly at home."
It was so clean and cosy that we couldn't have asked for anything more. It was in a great location for visiting most places in the Dales. There was a public house only 5minutes walk up the road which did lovely food. The owners where very friendly and helpful, the bottle of wine and homemade cake when we arrived was a welcome touch. The field next door had Alpacas in it of which they came up to the window to be fed everyday so if you like animals like us was one of the highlights! I would recommend this property for anybody wishing to stay in the Yorkshire Dales.
-
"Very well appointed property, excellently equipped with everthing you would need ..."
Very well appointed property, excellently equipped with everthing you would need for a very relaxing stay, warm and friendly hosts ensure all is to hand , very highly recommended
-
"Lovely friendly owners, fantastically clean and well presented cottage."
Great location for visiting local attractions and for walking. Great to feed the alpacas and have them come to the window! Would definitely return.
-
"Excellent cottage in a great location."
Very well equipped and very comfortable cottage. Helpful owners next door and lovely four-legged (alpacas) neighbours! Pub less than 800m away serving excellent food and Settle an easy 1m walk with good cafes, market and shop plus easy access to the Dales made it a perfect spot. The only improvement would be thermostat or heating control within the cottage. Although it was possible to turn each radiator up/down, for a full change of time or to turn everything off when out all day we had to ask the owners. That said they could not have been more helpful or accommodating. We could hear the occupants upstairs so carpet or rugs up there amy help. It didn't cause us any issues but could if you were very sensitive to noise.
-
"Wonderful hosts for whom nothing was too much trouble."
Loved the accommodation, enjoyed the alpacas and had a fabulous week exploring in the sunshine.
-
"Wonderful welcome extremely satisfied met all our exspectations"
-
"We recently stayed at Rushton Barn for a fabulous and relaxing holiday."
From the complimentary cake and beers on the first day to the mid week hot cross bun treat, Hazel and Charlie were brilliant hosts. The barn itself is beautifully decorated with a very homely and comfortable feel. It had everything we could have needed and more for our stay. The views of the Dales from the Barn are amazing and the Alpaca's made a few appearances at the living room window with their quirky personalities. We highly recommend everyone to book a trip to Rushton Barn!
-
"Stayed in February for a long weekend greeted by the hosts who gave us a complimentary bottle of wine and a piece of sponge."
The barn was cosy and beautiful view outside the room window. The alpacas came right up to the window they are lovely! The barn is located only a couple of minutes away from giggleswick station and the Craven Arms. We took the torch which was kindly provided by the hosts. It is well situated in the Yorkshire dales and you don't have to travel far to get to any of the major attractions. Weather was very warm for this time of year so didn't get to light the log burner - will have to come back when it's colder! Perfect quaint barn would highly recommend!
-
"This property is excellent and the hosts could not have been more welcoming, an perfect hidaway in a fantastic location."
-
"The cottage was wonderful - it was cosy, comfortable and had everything we needed to cook."
The owners were very friendly and easily contactable if we needed anything. The alpacas in the adjoining field were a delight and it was great to have a stroke of them each morning - they would even peer in through the living room window! The location was beautifully quiet, yet literally a 2 minute walk to Giggleswick train station where we could get the train to Skipton for the day. It was also only a 15 minute walk into Settle and then a range of longer walks from there. Would highly recommend staying here!
-
"Fantastic place and the hosts couldn’t do enough for us."
-
"This excellent cottage is definitely a home from home with everything you could possibly need."
It is immaculate with excellent quality fixtures and fittings yet has a lovely homely feel to it. The owners are available onsite and provided the warmest of welcomes. It was my birthday whilst there and I was really touched to find flowers, birthday banners and even a birthday cake on my arrival! The position of the cottage is also an excellent base from which to visit the many beautiful sites that the Yorkshire dales have to offer. It also has the added bonus of a really nice pub with an excellent menu within walking distance! We will definitely be back.
-
"Hospitality was incredible Attention to detail, luxury, comfort and great alpacas."
Didn't want to leave
-
"Stayed here over Christmas and was made extremely welcome, including a little present from Santa which was above and beyond!"
!. Charlie and Hazel have spared no expense in kitting out the cottage to a very high standard. A dishwasher and washing machine are provided which eases cleaning up after a good day out in the dales. For the 'techies', a quality Smart tv and free fast wifi will source the following day's outings or allow a restful evening in front of the woodburner!! The cottage is set in a quiet rural location, but easily accessible to nearby Settle and local beauty spots, many good walks are close by, including Malham Cove, Gordale Scar, Gaping Gill and others. Trains run every hour and a half-ish to Leeds and Carlisle if the bright lights call. The train to Carlisle stops at Ribbleshead if you decide to visit Ribbleshead Viaduct of Harry Potter fame. We would have no hesitation, whatsoever, in recommending this beautiful cottage to anyone considering visiting the area

"We had a delightful stay at Rushton Barn."
The decor was outstanding. The kitchen and bathroom were beautifully presented with modern and efficient fittings; the bed was really comfortable and the lounge was cosy. Our dog loved lying on the deep pile rug next to the log fire! The owners had thought of everything and were friendly and accommodating. The Christmas tree and decorations were very classy and they’d left a birthday cake, flowers and a bottle of fizz for my wife. The location is excellent. The local pub is a 5 minute walk, the adjacent fields are ideal for walking and the 4 Alpacas next door are really lovely to watch. Security is good too. The electric gate on to the premises gave us peace of mind and was fun to operate from inside our car! We could not recommend Rushton Barn highly enough. Brilliant. We shall be returning there in 2019. Steve and Annie Wilkinson, Warrington.

The property
A ground floor open plan conversion of a detached stone-built barn located in the grounds of the owner’s barn just outside of Giggleswick on the outskirts of Settle, just over a mile from the town centre.
Set amongst beautiful rolling countryside with views in most directions this is a lovely holiday home to get away from it all and enjoy Dales life at its best.
Lovingly restored, Rushton Barn has been individually styled and furnished to provide top quality accommodation in a superb location.
Guests entering the accommodation will be met with a stylish kitchen/diner providing a great place to prepare sumptuous meals after an exhausting day out exploring the many footpaths and bridleways of this beautiful area.
From the kitchen, the small and cosy sitting room boasts a stone fire surround with a woodburning stove, ideal to curl up, open a bottle of your favourite tipple and simply relax.
The views from the sitting room across the attached meadow where a small herd sheep graze often provides an interesting spectacle.
The main bedroom boasts a double bed with a Harrison mattress, and a modern en-suite shower room with power shower.
Outside there is a small lawned area and a patio to sit out and enjoy dining alfresco.
Guests will love the surrounding countryside, the Settle to Carlisle railway line running close by and the opportunity to watch the sheep grazing in the adjoining field.
With a host of scenic walks from the doorstep, enjoy quiet strolls through meadow lands, down quiet country lanes and for the more experienced, there is of course the famous Three Peaks challenge.
A little further down the valley, Skipton, host to the 2014 Tour De France, offers a great day out with its Norman castle, canal trips and award-winning high street.
Stylish throughout and put together with great love and affection this is a holiday home not to be missed.
Note: This property can be booked with the upper floor.
About the location

Malham 6 miles; Skipton 17 miles; Kendal 25 miles.
The bustling market town of Settle lies at the south west rim of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, nestled beside the largest outcrop of limestone in Britain - a region of scars, cliffs, caves and potholes - amongst some of the most picturesque scenery in North Yorkshire. Tuesday is market day in Settle, when the square is filled with stalls offering a wide variety of crafts and goods. The market place is surrounded by local businesses, the centre being dominated by The Shambles, an historic three storey building with shops on two levels and houses above, and the Town Hall. There is a good selection of restaurants and pubs and a public swimming pool. The Victoria Hall has entertainment and other activities such as folk nights throughout the year. The famous Settle-Carlisle Railway crosses some of the most beautiful and inspiring upland scenery in the country. Natural attractions such as Malham Cove and Gordale Scar are within easy reach, as are the nearby Dales towns of Skipton and Malham. Settle is in the midst of excellent walking country and is a good base for touring the Dales, the Lake District and the Forest of Bowland.
