I have just returned from my third stay there in 3 years and it was as lovely as ever. Excellent accommodation, beautiful area, friendly people, ample parking, private but not isolated. Hope to be back next year!
Thank you Jennifer for choosing to stay with us again we look forward to seeing you every year and hope you will be back Property Owner

"This was a lovely clean comfortable and very well equipped cottage with off road parking and very pleasant owners who live adjacent."
There are nice views over the owners garden and outdoor seating for those sunny days/opportunities to relax. The owners have two very friendly dogs which regularly gave us a very warm welcome on our return from trips out. A very nice and useful welcome pack of goodies was very much appreciated.
Thank you for your positive comments it was a pleasure to meet you and we hope you may return in the future Property Owner

"Comfortable cottage in clean, well maintained condition."
Nice rural location, quiet with nice walks locally. Close to Sowerby Bridge for large Tesco and railway station (free parking).

"We found a little gem when we discovered the Barn."
It is lovely and cannot be faulted. It is first class accommodation, everything is there for you. The welcome pack was very much appreciated too. Catherine and Mark, the owners are very helpful and will direct you to many points of interest. Beautiful surroundings and very quiet. Being on a bus route maybe helpful for some too. All in all we had a most enjoyable stay and hopefully we will be back. Sid and Julie Elliott.

"I had a wonderful week at The Barn in Norland."
The accommodation was first rate and the owners were warm and welcoming. The Barn had everything I needed and more to make my stay comfortable. The attention to detail and cleanliness was A1. The peace and quiet was perfect. Norland is a wonderful village surrounded by moorland with amazing walks right on the doorstep . Everyone was very friendly as you would expect in Yorkshire . I can’t wait to return and thank you for the lovely welcome gifts!
Thank you for the very kind feedback Norland is indeed a lovely village surrounded by walks ideal for walkers and dog owners we look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

"We stayed here at the end of October '23 for a week and found this to be a really lovely property."
It was probably the cleanest cottage we've stayed in so far and really well finished. I particularly enjoyed the light show we had every night when we were turning the lights off
-
"Great property, well presented and clean."
Next to the moors for good walking. Lovely treats on arrival and owners very helpful. Definitely will be returning. A*

"Good location."
It's available on apple maps for an easy find. You can approach from sowerby bridge too if you're used to country lanes, it was no problem for us, you may have to let others go first when it gets narrow though. Keys are in a lock by the last door you see, we thought they'd be by the gate, so we had to call owner to tell us where they are. that was our only issue, if we can call it that :) Location is great, the moorland is across the road from you or you can go through the memorial park, but you can also drive the other direction (not sowerby bridge) for a minute or walk for 5 minutes and you'll find moorland entrance on your right. Plenty of paths to go around. Sowerby bridge town center is only a 7 minute drive away and that's at rush hour. lidl and tesco, quite a few takeaways and cafes, pubs. A pub that seemed closed most of the time can be seen from the garden. But then, there's another pub going the other way not sowerby bridge, probably a 15 minute walk or a 5 minute drive. And then another one. Just look up google. Cottage very well featured, probably the cleanest we've been to, ever! Very modern, all you need, heating, clean bathroom, products as well and even coffee and tea. Eggs for a welcome gift and fruits, thank you, there's chicken roaming freely in the yard so careful if you have a dog, keep it on a lead. Also that means eggs are free range, great gift! Easy to walk around the small hamlet, quite a few loops if you need to walk and you want to stay dry. We had a couple of rainy days, so we didnt go much on the moors because our little shihtzu would get too messy and wet, so we did various loops on the country lanes around the cottage. so if your dog needs running and space, just cross the road. apart from the moors, there's also a green area like a park. access from the memorial park or a path nearby, quite long and wide, entertainment for kids too. We only met the owner once, one of them was away, the other works very long shifts. Very friendly lady, they have two dogs, labs, also friendly, but they're not around much. There's no washing machine, but this place has one bedroom and it's for singles or couples, so chances are you won't travel with five suitcases :) i believe a washing machine would be more suitable if you travel with a big family. So once again, that's not a problem, but some people may need to know that. TV in the living room, as well as the bedroom. Comfy recliner sofa. WiFi works very fast as well, yet reception in Norland is not great. so you'll need the wifi. its the only place we've ever been to that my girlfriend said "this is clean to my standards". Owners who thought about everything. We even had tea and coffee, cling film, sauces, shampoo, you name it. We brought our own we didn't know that, but you get hte point. THere's a poo bin right by the door, as you look round the corner. It's small and extremely convenient, again, they thought about everything! parking for 2 cars right in front, behind electric gates so safe parking! not sure where to leave the bins though, it says leave bags in the bins there. you may want to ask if it gets full, we didn't need to take it out , but just in case. While we usually like to go different places and try out different villages for our holidays, this is the one we'll most likely get back to.
Thank you Alexandru for such comprehensive feedback I note the comment about the washing machine but guests are welcome to use our laundry which is in an outbuilding easy to access and has been used by other guests during stays. We generally empty the bins on departure and do the recycling for you sorry not to make this clear in our literature. We would welcome you back Best wishes Catherine Property Owner

"A lovely little 'cottage' all mod cons, comfy bed, a great place to stay, Loved the electric gates!"
And the thoughtful idea of the table and chairs outside to enjoy the summers evening. A place that's had a lot of thought and care gone into it.
-
"Another lovely stay at the Barn just as good as the first time we stayed."
We appreciated the lovely welcome gifts and the fresh eggs Caroline brought to us. We had some great walks on Norland Moor which is literally across the road and even found a short cut to the local pub courtesy of a lady we met on the way when we looked lost ! Thanks again for letting us use your barn we will recommend to friends and family
it was lovely to welcome you back and the walks over Norland moor are varied and some do lead to the pub ! Best wishes Catherine Property Owner

"This was my second 2-week stay at the Barn in 2 years."
It is peaceful, convenient, secure and located in glorious countryside with many lovely walks all around. It has excellent facilities and friendly owners. I hope to be back again next year!
thank you Jennifer we have really enjoyed you staying with us and glad to hear you had a comfortable stay Best wishes Catherine Property Owner

"We settled in immediately as the barn is well positioned and is so peaceful, comfortable and relaxing to stay in."
The hosts are helpful and friendly. The break came at the right time having experienced a stressful house move. We just wish we had booked for the full month that we have been waiting to move into our new house. Love the welcome touches. Highly recommend.
Thank you Jane for your helpful feedback good luck with the house move Property Owner

"Een fantastisch leuk huisje in een mooie omgeving vriendelijke mensen en een paar leuke honden wij hebben een goed verblijf gehad en willen in de toekomst terug komen."
Het enigste wat ontbrak in de e-mail stond dat er een vaatwasser beschikbaar was maar deze ontbrak maar wij waren met 2 personen en dit was voor ons geen enkel probleem.
Thank you Gerrit it was lovely to meet you and hope you will return to stay with us best wishes Catherine Property Owner

"Lovely cottage, very clean, warm and comfortable."
Wonderful place for walking holidays. Avoid road to Sowerby Bridge as it is horrendous! If you are a 5ft dwarf like me, take a mirror as the one in the bathroom is way too high, also tricky to hang your clothes up in wardrobe. Otherwise first class!
Hi Robert this has made me smile our family are all 6ft and taller so don't often appreciate our placing of furniture may make things awkward we will take this onboard and make changes. I can agree the road from Sowerby Bridge can be challenging if you are not familiar with it and would advise to approach via Greetland or Barkisland to reach the property. Thank you for your feedback it is most helpful Property Owner
-
"Delightful property with everything you need for a comfortable stay."
Lovely welcome pack of goodies on arrival. Catherine and Mark were great- approachable, friendly and helpful. The barn is in a lovely location, peaceful and scenic with lots to see within easy travelling distance. Dog friendly- our mutts enjoyed the holiday too! Great relaxing week. Would definitely go again! Thankyou
Thank you for such helpful comments very pleased you enjoyed your stay and would welcome you back at any point many thanks Property Owner

"We arrived Sunday evening, opened the key safe and opened the barn door, it was lovely and clean , had everything we needed, we met the lady who owns the barn the following morning , she was lovely and gave us information about the area."
We stayed till Friday and had a great time. Looking forward to our next visit.
Thank you for your feedback it was a pleasure to meet you both Property Owner

"The owners have considered to provide all the amenities we needed for a very pleasant stay in this barn conversion."
The furnishings are in good taste, and very comfortable, for instance, a La-Z-Boy type sofa in the living room area, so we could relax with feet up in comfort & watch evening TV including Netflix, etc. All the amenities and furnishings are high quality, including a Dyson cooling fan, essential during this period of hot weather. The kitchen area is well stocked and efficient. We appreciated the thoughtful welcome package. The walls display paintings and interesting photos of the farm in yesteryear. The contemporary bathroom has a walk in shower with plenty hot water. The whole farm property is so attractive that we were reluctant to go anywhere else in order to take advantage of this idyllic spot. Beautiful flowering gardens and meadows surround the farm adding to our pleasant alfresco dining. Who wouldn’t love this outlook of colourful peonies, lupins, shrubs, and wildflower meadows? We also enjoyed walking the moorland trails around the property and historic hillside village. The local hills and valleys are places of extreme natural beauty, often used for cinematic locations. The surrounding area is full of historic interesting places to visit, for instance, Shibden Hall, the home of Ann Lister (Gentleman Jack) and Haworth, home of the Brontë sisters. The thoughtful welcome package provides brochures of all the attractions. The friendly owners were attentive when needed, though never intrusive to our privacy. We loved the inquisitive dogs who enjoyed our company, obediently leaving when asked. All in all, we had a wonderful stay, and would definitely return.
Thank you for taking the time to submit such detailed and helpful feedback I'm glad you were able to explore all the places of interest locally hope to see you again Property Owner

"Comfortable and well equipped property in the small hamlet of Norland."
Very peaceful location but within easy reach of Halifax (albeit the shortest route is down a steep and narrow road). Very comfortable bed and settee. Owners very helpful and knowledgeable about the local area. We had an enjoyable week exploring an area that we were unfamiliar with, and the property is definitely on our list of “places to go back to”.
Thank you for your feedback we would certainly welcome you back at any point Property Owner

"We had a very comfortable and relaxing time at the barn."
The accommodation was very clean and well presented. We did quite a lot of cooking and found the kitchen as well equipped as you need for 2 people. There were some basic provisions supplied by the owners which is always a nice touch. The 50inch smart TV has all the apps you need and the smaller tv in the bedroom is nice if you're a tv fan like me. The barn was always warm and there was plenty of hot water. Plenty of off road parking space and a great field to walk your dogs around for bedtime and morning wee's. The barn is very convenient for Norland Moor which is a short walk away. We had fun just walking around the criss cross of country roads and paths. We were lucky enough to see some lambs being born on one of our walks. The drive down the hill to Sowerby Bridge is twisty and narrow (single file) in places. We just took it slow and invariably the local drivers gave way to the tourist's. The owners were very friendly and wanted to know if everything was OK. They seem like a busy couple but are very discreet and leave you to enjoy your stay. I would definitely recommend and would return.
thank you for your feedback glad you had a good stay Property Owner

"Very happy with our stay at The Barn at Heath Hall Farm, it was clean, comfortable & had everything we needed along with some welcome complimentary treats which were much appreciated."
Had a friendly chat with the owner who was very helpful. Good location for our first visit to Halifax, near but in the quiet countryside.
thank you for your comments we do all we can to make our guests feel welcome and hope you can return in the near future best wishes Cath and Mark Property Owner

"We had a fantastic week staying at The Barn."
It was perfect for two people and extremely dog friendly. We only had to cross the road to be on the moorland and had some wonderful walks with our two spaniels. The accommodation is compact but has everything you need. The owners were very friendly and knowledgeable. We would 100% stop here again. Thank you

"Spotlessly clean well equipped lovely holiday cottage would go again"

"Owners very helpful, lovely people good welcoming ."
Accomidation very nice, excellent very clean and comfortable . Like a home from home. TV in lounge great size with 7.1 surround sound, also one in bedroom. Electric flame effect fire makes it nice and cosy in evenings. Bed very comfortable. Great place for dogs as Moors within walking district. A great location as nothing is that far away especially Halifax and its attractions. Would recomend, all on ground floor , we would come again. 5 stars even more if possible.
Thank you Julie for your kind comments and feedback we should be happy to host you again Best wishes Property Owner

"We had a wonderful stay at The Barn."
It has to be one of the nicest places we have ever stayed in. The cottage was sparkling clean and had a feeling of newness about it. Catherine and Mark were wonderful hosts and had clearly gone to a lot of trouble to ensure that we had every thing we might need. We appreciated the Christmas touches and welcome gifts. There was a little paddock on the doorstep where we were able to exercise our dogs. We would certainly recommend the accommodation and the location.
thank you for your feedback it has been a pleasure to host you please return if you are ever in the area Property Owner

"We have had a lovely time at The Barn."
We was greeted with wine, flowers and chocolates plus cupboard essentials. The photo’s don’t do the property justice it’s comfortable, clean and with everything you could need. There are plenty of pubs and restaurants serving lovely food nearby and lots of interesting places to visit. Catherine and Mark are great host’s, nothing is too much trouble, they have great local knowledge which they happily share with you and when our car broke down they went to the trouble of organising its repair which was a massive help to us. We cannot thank them enough. We look forward to returning soon.
Thank you Jill it was a pleasure to host you and glad to hear all was comfortable during your stay. Best wishes Property Owner

"The Barn at Heath Hall Farm was absolutely delightful and perfect for my two week stay visiting friends in the area."
A bottle of wine in the fridge and flowers on the table were extras that made me feel at home as soon as I arrived! Catherine (the owner) was on hand to solve my one and only problem, when the WiFi went down briefly. I enjoyed making friends with her two sweet and obedient dogs and loved having a couple of hens pottering around outside occasionally. The property is situated in glorious open countryside with many many walks to choose from. Whilst the area is quiet and rural, it is not isolated and, being on my own, I always felt comfortable and safe. The parking area is spacious and right outside the door of the cottage. All in all, this property could not have suited me better and I hope to return next year!
Thank you for your feedback I am pleased to hear you had a comfortable stay and look forward to seeing you again soon. Property Owner

"1. Address was not accurate for sat nav to follow."
2. I would not consider that the small unenclosed pavement area outside the property was a 'patio' 3. Although bathroom kitchen and living area appeared clean on the surface, windows and surfaces generally seemed not to have been cleaned for some time. I thought this was particularly disappointing bearing in mind the covid epidemic. 4. Insufficient clear guidance available on safe walks and best routes to shops and other local amenities and attractions. Despite the above drawbacks. the property is very nicely situated with pretty views and accessible walks. Furniture is comfortable and the flowers, wine and chocolates provided were a very nice welcoming touch. Locals were very friendly and helpful. Overall, not ideally suited to a disabled, elderly lady travelling alone such as myself. Your company was aware of my age, disability and the fact that I would be travelling alone. Hence not satisfied with the level of help/guidance I received in choosing the let.
Thank you for your comments your main concerns appear to be around the booking of the holiday and unfortunately I have no control over this process which is handled by Sykes Cottages. I am pleased you found the barn comfortable and welcoming and people friendly and helpful. The property is cleaned with antibacterial sprays thoroughly between each guest and particular attention is paid to all surfaces it's unfortunate you were not able to speak to me at the time and I could have rectified any issues you had.

"Catherine and Mark were the perfect hosts providing lots of local information and nothing was too much trouble."
The barn accommodation was to a very high standard with lovely welcoming touches , tea coffee milk and bottle of wine We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and our dog Oscar loved playing with Luna and Ruby. It's a great location for visiting surrounding areas such as Hebden Bridge. Haworth , Norland moor and Hardcastle craggs. We would definitely recommend this property and look forward to a return visit .
Thank you for your kind message and we enjoyed having Oscar to stay with us Best wishes Property Owner

"Excellent compact and comfortable cottage."

"Definitely a 5* property, one of the best we've stayed in."
Lovely hosts, quiet setting, very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Close to moorland with far reaching views and fairly easy walks for a 15 year old dog. Would recommend visits to Hebden Bridge and Haworth and would definitely recommend The Barn as a base for exploring.
Thank you for your review and your kind messages it was a pleasure to have you stay on the farm Property Owner

"A very relaxing and comfortable stay at Heath Hall Farm."
Catherine and Mark went above and beyond to look after us during our 2.5 weeks at the barn and the moorland walks were perfect for our dog. Lots of pubs within walking distance too. All in all, highly recommended! :)

"What a lovely cottage."
We arrived a few hours before Storm Arwen and through the night the electricity supply was cut off by the storm. Catherine and Mark, the owners, were straight onto the lack of power and hooked up a generator until 2 days later the electricity people brought in a bigger one for the 40 properties with no power. What lovely caring owners we really appreciated all their efforts. All facilities at the cottage are modern and it was cosey and very clean. No downsides to it at all. We had a great time.
thank you for taking the time to review the cottage whilst your stay was problematic I'm glad to hear our efforts to provide you with some electricity were appreciated best wishes Property Owner

"The place is great and very comfortable with everything you need."
It's great to be so close to the moor too and see the beautiful countryside. Thank you for letting me stay, I'd recommend.

About the location
SOWERBY BRIDGE
Sowerby 1.2 miles; Halifax 3.4 miles; Haworth 10.9 miles
Nestled within the Upper Calder Valley in Calderdale, West Yorkshire is the bustling market town of Sowerby Bridge. Acting as a gateway to the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the North York Moors National Park, you can use this town as a base for exploring the countryside beyond. At the heart of the mill town, you will find two rivers and two canals, as well as a large selection of places to eat and drink. On the Wharf, there are a number of places to dine with stunning waterside views or choose to sample award-winning Indian food at Kipling’s restaurant, you are sure to find something to suit all here. Whilst here, choose to soak up the scenery with a walk along the Calder and Hebble Navigation, promising to be a rural and peaceful route or there is the Rochdale Canal, which runs for 33 miles making a great cycling opportunity. Just a short distance away from here is the charming market town of Halifax, which is home to some of Yorkshire’s most famous landmarks, including the Minster, Dean Clough, Shibden Hall and the Piece Hall, as well as the splendid Halifax Borough Market; there is so much on offer in this town. Slightly further afield is Howarth, where along the cobbled main street lies a number of quaint cafés and independent shops, as well as attractions including the world famous Brontë Parsonage Museum, where the sister once lived and penned some of our best loved books. Other attractions within the surrounding area includes the Halifax Bradley Hall Golf Club, the Manor Heath Jungle Experience and the Hardcastle Crags. Look forward to staying in Sowerby Bridge and exploring the surrounding area of West Yorkshire.
