"If your looking for peace and quiet where you can literally hear a pin drop, you can't go wrong."
Waking up to nature on your doorstep and the fabulous views was fantastic plus on a clear night makes star gazing great as there's little light pollution. Dave and Debbie are very welcoming and you only need to ask if you need anything.

"A lovely place to stay."
David very helpful with the query we had and also offered to lock our bikes away, bringing them back down to our door the morning of our departure.

"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Barn."
Owners unobtrusive, but there if you need them. Views and rural location are excellent. We had the pleasure of both the Peacock (came to the patio to say hello

"We had a very enjoyable time at The Barn at Crow Hill Shaw Farm."
The area is picturesque and with the changes in light the views are constantly changing. We had visits daily by the Wrens which live in the garden and saw the Barn Owls in the evenings. Towards the end of the week the Peacock paid us a visit on the patio and was on the roof when we left. The Barn is an ideal location for walking and cycling holidays due to very little traffic on the plentiful country lanes which seem to lead to a cafe or pub. On our last day we visited the secret cafe and would highly recommend a visit.
Thank you for the kind words Wonderful guests who took a very keen interest in the property, the history and the abundance of wildlife. Our holiday let was spotless when they left Property Owner

"The hosts were amazing and so welcoming."
Definitely the best hosts we've met. The property was exactly what we were looking for. Very comfortable and so peaceful. Amazing view with so much wildlife to see and enjoy. We had all the amenities that we needed and everything was spotless. We were welcomed with fresh flowers, milk and 2 bottles of lager in the fridge and even small bottles of gin and whisky Apart from the rain I can definitely say this was one of our most favourite places to stay. Thanks so much David and Debbie

"Our 7 day stay at Crow Hill Shaw Farm was very relaxing."
Apart from natural noises such as the birds, were the only noise present. The South facing window is like lookiing into a painting which changes with the weather environment.Various birds were seen but the main reward was spoting a Deer in the nearest field to the Barn,we kept still, and watched it feeding for about half an hour.Bed was comfortable,water hot, heating just right,comfort and welcome gifts10 out of 10.All in all a very laid bck holiday with plenty to view in the district if required.. I recomend and Thankyou.
Thank you for the kind words. You have been fabulous guests and left the property spotless Glad you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

"5* - a super cottage with stunning rural views, comfy bed, super shower, boutique shower gel and a whole host of goodies… flowers, fruit bowl, milk, home made jam, and a complimentary sample of speciality gin and whisky!"
We saw deer, hares and the local barn owl. There were 2 nearby pubs and a whole host of local sights - who knew Calderdale was so stunning!

"We had a very enjoyable stay at the barn."
Everything was clean and comfortable. The only thing I would add is for some hooks in the bathroom for dressing gowns/ towels etc. A very minor point but easy to address. Would highly recommend for some peace and quiet but also within easy reach of the bigger towns and cities.
-
"Really nice weekend away, we both loved the view and how peaceful it was."
Had everything we needed there and to make it even more memorable, we got engaged there too. Would definitely come back again and recommend it to friends and family. Thank you very much.
Thank you for your feedback. Congratulations, we are so pleased for you both. Glad you enjoyed your stay with us, and look forward to seeing you both again. Property Owner

"Great place to sit back and relax, watch the wildlife and chill out."
Everything you need for a short stay is provided and the welcome pack is amazing. One thing that is required is a pair silicon tongs for use with the air fryer. We were treated to Kestrels, buzzards, deers, bats, barn owl and hares, great to watch from the patio. We went for a rest and tranquility, we got it in abundance! Plenty of beautiful places of interest close by so it makes it a great base to explore the local area. 10 out of 10, we would definitely go again.
Thank you for your great feedback and suggestion. We will ensure that there are tongs for use with the air fryer. Glad to hear that you had a lovely time and the wildlife welcomed you too. Property Owner

"A wonderful stay…."
Yes the cottage is remote but that in our opinion anyway is to its advantage. We loved the peace and quiet! The views from the terrace out over the farmland was spectacular and we were entertained each evening by a beautiful Barn Owl hunting for his supper. So, if you like peace and quiet and a beautiful outlook this is a well set up spot for you to enjoy and also to be able to step out from the cottage on a myriad of trails.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We hope to see you both again at some point in the future. Property Owner

"We thought that the 2 seater sofa was uncomfortable, as the infill, in the seat cushions and rear cushions, was degraded and did not hold their shape."
Thank you for your feedback. The sofa is feather down and a quick plump of the cushions puts the shape back into them Property Owner

"Cottage is beautifully kitted out, and was in a very scenic location."
It was lovely to arrive to the extras of breakfast, fruit and g&t. The fresh flowers were a nice touch. I drive a pick up truck and I could easily get in parking space and off the road. Would definately recommend a stay here.
Thank you for your lovely feedback . We hope to see you again. Property Owner
