  • "The location was beautiful and the hosts were very accommodating."

    We have the best time. My only one criticism was that there is not enough seating area round the fire for 10 people.

    Shame we didn't get to meet the owners though they were very helpful on the phone. Charlie was tops and extremely helpful. Would recommend the stay.

  • "Generally the cottage was fine."

    The living room furniture was very uncomfortable and not enough seating. The whole cottage was not as clean as expected. We did not use the bbq as it had not been emptied nor the grill cleaned nor were there any utensils to clean it. Most importantly there are a number of flagstones loose in the hot tub area which tilt when you stand on them. We realise that it is a working farm but there was excavation work being undertaken around the cottage which spoilt the chance to have a peaceful break. It ended as we were leaving.

    The house was beautiful and the views are incredible. Beds were very comfortable and we loved the hot tub and games room which were lovely additions. We only had one minor issue while we were there and the owners were quick to respond and assist us for which we were most grateful. Thank you for a lovely stay!

    I feel the pictures don’t do the barn justice and it’s a lot bigger and nicer than shown. Games room brilliant for separate entertainment. Love that it’s in a secluded spot so we didn’t have to worry about the children as there were gates and walls to enclose the property. Not far to travel for some great days out which we enjoyed: Bolton Abby, Malham cove, Pendle hill sculpture trail, skipton, steam train and lots more. Also visited The Bull pub 10 mins down the road where the food is lovely.

    Easily located off the A59, we visited during lambing season and had the pleasure of awaking to see hundreds of lambs roaming free in the neighbouring fields each morning. We booked the cottage as a place to celebrate with family and friends before and post our wedding in the Ribble Valley. Ally and Zoe are great hosts, and were very responsive and accommodating prior to and during our stay at Ox Hey Barn. The facilities are second to none, with the separate games room, outdoor hot tub and garden furniture being the biggest hit with our guests. With a large kitchen, BBQ and excellent sound system, it was a great place to relax, and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a similar acommodation.

Views amazing and a lovely 35 mins walk to the local pub at Sawley. Ally the owner was most helpful and answered any queries immediately.would definitely recommend and will hopefully we going again. I agree that maybe a couple more seats in the lounge area would be nice but we used the bean bags which were more than adequate. We were a family ranging from 2 to 60 and it catered for everyone. The photos although good don’t do it justice it’s even better.

  • "Absolutely stunning house."

    Very spacious and perfect for a large group. The owners have thought of everything and it makes the stay so much more enjoyable. We stayed for a week and loved every second. We used hot tub and games room everyday and were lucky enough to have sunny weather so used the BBQ too. The location is fab. You can take a 30 minute walk to Sawley and the local pub “The Spread Eagle”. It’s a 10 minute drive from Clitheroe which has supermarkets/pubs/cafes/takeaways etc. Skipton is a 30 minute drive away and has some amazing restaurants. A must see for us was Malham Cove which took 30 minutes by car. The house itself is situated on the Ribble Way trail and the walks/scenery are spectacular. Our only suggestions are that it would of been handy if the accommodation provided bath towels and robes. As well as some new darts/pool cue for the games room.

  • "I booked Ox Hey Barn to celebrate a special Birthday for my Husband, together with our daughters and their families (including 5 children aged 2 to 15yrs)."

    To say we had an amazing time would be an understatement. The accommodation was even better than expected. Despite the mostly open-plan ground floor area the house was exceptionally warm and welcoming with top quality fixtures and fittings. The log burning stove in the lounge area, that had been lit just prior to our arrival, immediately made us feel at home. The 5 x en-suite bedrooms with comfortable beds - all made up with luxury hotel quality bedlinen - ensured we had a great night's sleep. The kitchen and dining hall were very well equipped and the large TV, Bose sound system and free WIFI were great additions that worked well (in fact better than our WIFI at home!). The children also enjoyed the additional TV, entertainment system and DVD player on the large landing area, complete with bean bags to lounge on. The location is perfect allowing little ones to run around safely and without disturbing anyone. We all enjoyed bracing walks in the nearby fields and, on return, warmed up in the oversized hot tub just a few steps from the house. Benefitting from dry (though chilly) weather during our stay, we also made good use of the BBQ. The children (old and young) probably enjoyed the games barn best with pool table, dart board and other family favourites. The bar area, including a freezer and chiller for beers and ice, was very welcome and the additional WC meant that players didn't need to return to the main house for hours at a time! Overall Ox Hey Barn has been thoughtfully designed and very well appointed. We all adored it and can't wait to return. A big thank you to our hosts for communicating with us so nicely and swiftly and for the extra touches that helped make the weekend so special!
