    What a fabulous barn which has been converted very well. The hot tub was lovely to relax with a drink and look at the stars. The isolated location was just what we wanted and the surrounding space couldn’t have been more beautiful. Wildlife everywhere from rabbits, pheasants, grouse to geese deer. We loved our stay and will definitely be back . Thank you for a wonderful stay.

  • "Snave barn is spacious, clean and beautifully decorated, with everything you could possibly need and more."

    The welcome basket was very much appreciated too, it’s touches like this that make this property outstanding. Its location is on the edge of Grimwith Reservoir and it’s stunning- if you want peace and quiet, with no light or noise pollution this is the place to stay. The 4.5mile walk around the reservoir I also recommend, with plenty of wildlife. ( the owls are beautiful) Gerry the caretaker is knowledgeable and on hand if you need him, he had our hot tub heated ready for our arrival which we really appreciated. We are gutted to be back home but can’t wait to go back, of all the cottages we’ve stayed in this is our absolute favourite. 10/10

    The Dales are a lovely part of the country and easily explored from Grimwith. The hot tub was an added bonus although you need plan ahead to ensure it is at an ideal temperature! Jerry was available, if needed, and proved an invaluable asset to the cottages and was helpful throughout our stay. We would love to return at some point in the future. Andrew, Anna & Skye

    The properties themselves were spotless on arrival, and exactly as described on the listing. Jerry was very helpful and always on hand if we had any questions or wanted advice, and also got the hot tubs nice and hot for our arrival. We had everything we needed already there meaning we only had to bring clothes, food and drink, and the welcome hamper was also a nice touch. The location itself is amazing with a nice walking route around the reservoir and also longer routes to nearby villages where we found some great local pubs, shops and takeaways. This is my second time visiting this property and definitely won’t be the last. It really does cater for all and cannot recommend it enough!

    We had the master bedroom with the on suite and the bed was SO comfy! Hot tub was fabulous and we met some on site staff who were all really friendly. The welcome basket was a nice touch. Thank you. A couple of things we found not so great… General cleanliness wasn’t of a high standard, felt like the property would really benefit from a regular deep clean. We found the fridge quite small, the space in the kitchen could be better utilised providing a larger fridge and perhaps an additional wine fridge too. No many pots and pans available for cooking, perhaps a list could be provided so guests knew to bring extra if needed. The living room is a great size but there isn’t really enough seating for 6 people to sit and lounge comfortably, would be better to have more sofas/chairs. The hanging chairs felt decorative rather than useful. Providing a light and easy to use stick for opening the Velux windows would be handy.

    From arriving and driving down the track to the cottage with brilliant views, to the size of the bedrooms throughout and attention to the finish and level of luxury. On arrival we were met by Jerry, who looked after the cottages. He was more than helpful and showed us how things worked. Nothing was too much trouble for him to sort, throughout our stay. On arrival there was a hamper with items such as bacon, popcorn, crisps and prosecco. The cottage was cleaned very well and presented even better. The hot tub at the rear was the perfect addition to relax in of an evening, over looking the reservoir and the hillsides around. All you could hear was the water and wildlife. From the cottage there was a lovely 4.5 mile walk around the reservoir and a further walk towards Stump Cross Caverns. I would recommend this cottage to anyone thinking about it as you will not be disappointed. Jerry is a credit to the owners as he makes sure everything is sorted throughout your stay (and will return items to you if you leave them behind....oppss). We will definately be looking to book it again. Thank you for a lovely stay. The Fisher family

    It is in the most beautiful remote location imaginable with fabulous views across the reservoir. The barn is very spacious, with the comfiest beds and a very well equipped kitchen. The log burning hot tub was a real treat at the end of the day and all the logs were supplied which again was brilliant. There are lots of walks from the door and the wildlife is plentiful (during our stay we saw Barn Owls, nesting Oyster Catchers , deer and a plethora of other birds. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and didn’t want to leave! I have really tried to find a negative for the property but honestly just can’t! It was perfect.

  • "The position of the barn on the edge of the reservoir is unbeatable."

    The building itself is magnificent and the decor is outstanding. The road to the barn is not as bad as I feared when reading the description and I very soon got accustomed to it. We would go back with pleasure.

  • "We had watched Snave Barn be developed and live only 20 miles away, we decided to have a staycation and booked the barn as Grimwith Reservoir is a favourite place of ours to walk."

    The Barn looks even better than in the pictures and we spent lots of time looking out across the lake especially at sun set. There is plenty of privacy and Jerry the handy man is so welcoming and helpful, he took good care of us all week. The beds were super comfy and a walk around the lake is a joy. We are going to book for next year, there was nothing we did not like. We recommend the Fish and Chip shop in Pateley Bridge and the old school tea rooms in nearby Hebden. Tesco’s delivered to use twice no problem.

  • "This cottage exceeded our expectations in every way!"

    The view was phenomenal was honestly breathtaking we felt so lucky to have found this cottage. The cottage on our arrival was more clean than any hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Not only that, the attention to details was incredible. The host left us some treats such as a hamper, Prosecco and beer upon our arrival which we was not expecting at all. There was not one bad thing to say about the cottage and it made our weekend away even more amazing. Can not wait to be back!!

    We loved the decor and the view out over the reservoir. Nice and remote which was exactly what we wanted, but lots of walks right on the doorstep. Kitchen fitted with everything you need, smart TVs and a lovely wood burner! The hot tub does take some time and attention to heat up. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
