  • "Lovely barn."

    Done to a high standard. Lounge sofa not particularly comfy but other fixtures & fittings are perfect. Very close to a pub with great food. Also the barn is well situated for exploring Yorkshire.

  • "Overall a lovely converted barn ideal for a short stay, with a warm welcome from the owner on our arrival."

    A wonderful setting and we enjoyed lovely walks from the door. Just a couple of minor issues, a few broken plates, no mop for the floor and nothing to clean the kitchen with so I bought my own. Maybe a chair or something to put daily clothes on in the bedroom would be nice. The TV’s also had a mind of their own flicking channels every now and then and a cursor appearing on the screen almost like some else was using it, very strange, made the football more interesting.

  • "The Barn was everything we expected and so much more."

    The cottage was decorated to a high standard and spotless when we arrived. As this was the first time we had been away in our electric car having the charger was a godsend and took away the stress of worrying where we could charge the car. The location was fantastic with beautiful scenery and great for exploring both Yorkshire and the Peak District.

  • "This is an outstanding property."

    Very comfortable with high end fixtures and fittings. We loved our time there and so did our dogs. We had a lovely welcome pack which we appreciated. The walks are really lovely and start from the doorstep so no need to drive. The Fleece pub is close by with lovely food and very friendly staff.We have booked to go next year again.

  • "Fabulous barn in a lovely quiet village with lots of lovely walks near by."

    The barn has everything you need and the owners left a lovely welcome basket for us on arrival. The location is perfect and the nearest shops are only 10 minutes away including Aldi, Lidl etc. The nearest town is Holmfirth and is so nice plenty of shops to mooch around and some lovely quirky bars. Village pub The Fleece Inn is literally a stone's throw away from The Barn. They serve lovely food and also have a pantry next door where you can buy pies, cakes etc. Would Defo come back to stay and will be recommending to family and friends.

    There was plenty of room for 3 of us and our 2 dogs. Everything was very clean and well looked after. There were loads of walks from the house and we didn't really need to go further afield. The weather on one day was particularly bad and we enjoyed staying in, playing cards and watching tv. As a family we agreed this was one of the best places we've stayed in and would definitely go back again.The hosts were brilliant and let us arrive early and leave a bit later which we really appreciated.

  • "A beautiful barn conversion fitted out to a very high standard throughout and situated conveniently on the edge of the Peak District."

    We loved our time there. The weather was atrocious so we didn't get out and about as much as we had planned but we still managed a few long walks and found the space very comfortable for reading, puzzles, watching films etc and the kitchen was well kitted out for cooking. The local pub was fabulous and very close and we also enjoyed a couple of lunches at The Pickled Pheasant in Holmbridge. Richard was on hand for advice and help whenever we needed. Altogether a great place to recharge our batteries before Christmas and we would happily return for another visit.

The property

The Barn is a stunning barn conversion tucked away in the Peak District National Park in Holme near Holmbridge.

With the countryside on your doorstep, this is the perfect getaway for a family who want to escape the hustle and bustle of life.

Ample off-road parking greets you on arrival, along with panoramic views of the moorland and peaks surrounding the stone-built abode.

Make your way through the stable door and be mesmerised by a contemporary open-plan living space, with a solid oak staircase taking centre stage.

To the right of the staircase is a delightful sitting area, with a plush corner sofa for you to get comfortable on as you watch your favourite show on the Smart TV; an additional armchair can be found by the tri-folding doors and makes for a perfect reading spot!

Continue over to the stylish Shaker-style kitchen, a space boasting top-of-the-line appliances and sleek, granite worktops, perfect for the foodies of the group.

When dinner is ready, gather your group at the dining table and crack open a bottle of wine as you plan you catch up about your countryside ramblings.

A handy utility room is adjacent to kitchen and hosts a washer/dryer; ideal for when you need to wash your mud-clad clothes after a walk or cycle.

Make your way upstairs, as the evening comes to an end, and find two magnificent bedrooms, one being a king-size featuring exposed beams, mullion windows and a high, vaulted ceiling, giving the space a characterful feel.

Across the way is a bunk room making great use of the space.

Both rooms are accompanied by contemporary en-suite shower rooms with spacious walk-in showers, walls adorned with white tiles and toasty underfloor heating.

Relish the quaint surroundings on the front patio or walled garden as you enjoy a morning coffee and bask in the sun as you look out over those glorious sights.

In the village, the nearby Fleece Inn is a great spot for when you don't feel up to cooking; after savouring a pint, venture to the Brownhill Reservoir for a leisurely stroll, or embark on the Longdendale Trail.

Travel to Holmfirth and marvel at live entertainment at The Picturedrome, before enjoying dinner at one of the town's many eateries, one being the delectable Whippet & Pickle restaurant with its friendly service and high-quality dishes.

Travel north to Meltham and pay a visit to the local golf club for a game, go picnicking in the pretty Meltham Pleasure Garden, before travelling a little further afield to the enchanting Folly Dolly Falls waterfall.

Make the most of the Peak District and spend your days wandering through its picturesque towns and villages; or venture further away from the National Park to Marsden Moor and Huddersfield for lovely days out.

There is so much fun to be had at The Barn.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
