• "The Hay Barn is simply beautiful, the whole place is relaxing and peaceful."

  The garden space is perfect and Jill provided some entertainment for the children, with ride on tractors and tennis rackets etc. which was a wonderful touch. Jill checked the hot tub was safe to use every day and was always friendly and welcoming. We loved the location. Waking up to see the rabbits bouncing around the fields and the calf’s with their mothers was really lovely. The Hare & Hounds pub is walking distance and the food is delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend. Thank you Jill! We hope to see you again next year!

  Thank you Zoe it was my pleasure to welcome you to the Hay Barn, it was lovely to meet you and the girls and I hope to see you again. Thank you for taking time to write a review Property Owner

  Like other reviews the home is even nicer in person than the pictures with plenty of space outside and inside for everyone. Everything was clearly explained on how to use, we had a bbq, roast and had everything we needed all weekend. The hot tub was a fab addition to our weekend.

  Plenty of space for 9 of us. Both the inside and outside were impressive. We all enjoyed the hot tub and there was plenty of outside furniture for us to eat in the garden, the first time this year!

• "We had a lovey stay at The Hay Barn in Fishlake."

  The 4 bedroom barn was perfect for the six of us who were looking for a spacious modern property for a weekend of relaxing away in the countryside. The Hay Barn is a very modern property and the owners have really thought about balancing modern facilities whilst still retaining the original charm of the barn. The kitchen is equipped with AEG appliances, the bathrooms have excellent showers with good water flow and the large smart TV is great for watching a movie at the end of the day. The garden is a great place for a BBQ, breakfast or any kind of dining and with the added canopy, you have some shelter from the elements. One of the property highlights is a huge, modern hot tub which was prepared for us by the owner and checked during our stay. A great addition and something which separates this property from one’s we have stayed at in the past. Overall, a great property for larger families or large groups wanting to spend time relaxing in a modern facility within the countryside. Thank you Gill and Jack for your hospitality!

  It was lovely to meet you all, I am so pleased that you enjoyed staying at the Hay barn. Thank you for the feedback. Jill Property Owner

• "The Hay Barn is a beautiful property in a lovely rural setting & was the perfect place for 3 generations of our family to spend time together."

  The interior is stunning, very spacious with great features such as exposed brickwork, beams in the bedrooms & deep window sills (ideal window seats to gaze out at the surrounding countryside views). The finish is superb and quality of furnishings, fittings, linens outstanding. Above all it feels homely and welcoming. Everything has been provided that guests could possibly need, along with some unexpected little treats on arrival - a lovely touch from our host. Photographs don’t really do it justice - we loved the look from the pictures but ‘in the flesh’ (so to speak) The Hay Barn is so much more impressive. The outside space is delightful & compliments the property. A large courtyard style area with a beautiful raised flower bed, lawn, a range of seating areas and even some ride on toys for the youngest guests. Though previously a hot tub could be could be hired in via the owner, the addition of a large permanent hot tub is a huge bonus and really added a touch of luxury to our stay. Fishlake is a rural village but there are plenty of places to visit it & things to do within a short distance. Lots of lovely walks, a luxury day spa on the doorstep, farm/wildlife parks - as well as places to go out to eat. Jill the owner was a perfect host - very friendly, helpful & responsive. She contacted me personally ahead of our stay and was very quick replying to any questions. We also really appreciated her suggestions for places to visit with our granddaughter. We had the pleasure of meeting Jill with her friend on arrival they were most welcoming - just what we needed after a drive in awful weather! Thank you again Jill for a wonderful birthday break with our family & being such a great host. We all loved our time at The Hay Barn & wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

  Thank you Sheena for such a lovely review. We hope to see you again. Property Owner

  Lovely location. Some lovely little local walks directly from the barn. Our host Jill was extremely helpful and the enclosed area outside was perfect with the dog. Nice village cafe and the Old George Inn just down the road was great for a a family pub meal and dog friendly too.

• "Property is excellent."

  Surrounding area is a bit limiting.

  I’m sorry that you found the surrounding area limiting. The village is quiet with lots of walks, a pub, a cafe and a pretty church. There are many local attractions and things to do. With the motorway and train station only 2 miles away I think we are well placed to access further afield. Towns like Doncaster, York, Hull, Sheffield etc are easily accessible and the Yorkshire wildlife park is a great day out. If you had asked I could have given you some ideas to suit your interests.

  Met with owner via horse riding for the children and they couldn’t have been nicer folks.

  It was perfect for our needs. We had 3 generations staying together for a family celebration. The barn was clean, comfortable and very well equipped. There are many places to visit in every direction. My small grand daughters loved the Christmas decorations and pony riding. Due to the weather we didn’t use the outdoor area but it was really lovely. The addition of a new bed super king/ twin bed in downstairs room was perfect for our families needs. The host was very helpful and friendly. The surrounding land was all open and the stars and sunrises were spectacular. I would highly recommend this property.

  " I'm pleased if I can say "yes" straight away, and if nothing changes my mind throughout the week, I think I'm on a winner. This is one of those. It's clear that this hasn't been let for long, the place is very clean and the finish of the building shows a fine eye for detail. Very little has been spared to make it really nice. There were six of us staying at Hay Barn, with a baby and toddler. We had everything we needed, there was enough china and cutlery to be able to leave the dishwasher until it was full. Plenty of useful cooking pots too. The courtyard garden was nice and a great area to use, the little one was able to run around safely. There are nice walks around the property and chances to see some cows and wildlife. The bat which managed to get into a bedroom one evening was a treat! Anyone without a fishing landing-net in the car might have taken a different view, but I'm sure that it's a once in a lifetime occurrence both for us and the building. The owners were nearby and were very helpful if we needed anything else, thanks for the advice on where to go and the baby thermometer.

• "FANTASTIC cottage/barn conversion."

  The accommodation was much larger than we had expected. Family of 9 ranging from 10 months to 70s and there was sufficient room for everyone. The outdoor space is amazing and the area was wonderful. You are sufficiently secluded without being too far from local areas. Would recommend the Old Butchers for food and Truffle Lodge for a spa day/evening in Fishlake. The Hay Barn had everything we needed, from the hot tub, BBQ and amazing outdoor spaces to the finer details within the property, including the most comfortable beds, books, games and huge TVs. The views are second to none and we enjoyed our countryside walks. Would highly recommend the Hay Barn!
