The Barn

The property delivered everything we needed for a relaxing and carefree holiday.

Although in the countryside and on a working farm Skipton being only 10 minutes away meant that Supermarkets were convenient. Once at the barn Nancy, Joe and George were friendly and helpful and made the holiday just what we needed.

Great location with lots of interesting places just a short drive away.

Peaceful, surrounded by fields filled with animals which delighted our toddler.

Had a great stay at The Barn.

Centrally located for exploring the Dales and York, Nancy provided easy directions to find it and made us feel welcome.

The Barn has everything you could need for a comfortable stay and is surrounded by the most glorious views.

Being there during lambing time was a bonus and we spent a lot of time watching their antics. Nancy was very welcoming and when the toaster caused a fuse to blow it was sorted out immediately.

Its in the most stunning setting and Nancy was incredibly helpful when I phoned to organise our arrival.

The Barn is a heavenly place to stay ✨️

Beautiful cottage, spotlessly clean and well equipped, owners are really friendly and helpful, the barn is spacious and has amazing views, we enjoyed visiting Skipton, Malham cove, Brimham rocks, Harrogate, Fountains Abby, Linton falls, and villages Gargrave and Grassington !

Highly recommend this lovely cottage!

If you like big towels, take your own bath sheets.

It's quite tricky to find as there are no signs at the entrance or on the farm - use the boundaries of Chelker Reservoir as your guidance. Note that there's no garden, just a patio area by your parking space. Overall a great stay though. A lovely home in a great location, surrounded by sheep

Lovely and helpful owner, excellent location, super view and well away from main road, super clean, very well equipped and comfortable for a country holiday cottage, other than the sound of sheep which is expected for a working farm we hardly heard any noise, easy access to the surrounding beautiful Yorkshire dales.

We could have stayed forever. Thanks to all.

Amazing views.

Beautiful spacious and comfortable accommodation. Friendly hosts. In a great location for touring the Dale's.

Great accommodation.

Spacious, comfortable and well equipped. The views from every window were amazing, particularly the Chelker reservoir. Tranquil and secure. And very convenient for so many local places of interest. NT East Riddlesdon Hall well worth a visit. Malham cove for walks and a gentle climb. Ilkley ten minutes drive for lovely Riverside walks plus shops and countless coffee outlets. Skipton also has something for everyone. We will happily return to The Barn.

Thank you for a lovely, clean and well equipped holiday house.

The views from the house are lovely and with its table tennis and 2nd sitting room I image good for groups or families. We had a wonderful stay. It was well situated for many attractions, eg. Bolton Abbey, Malham Cove & Janet's Foss. I would definitely recommend, The Barn, to others.

We loved our stay at the barn.

It had everything we needed. The views were great and we loved the peace and quiet and watching the lambs at play was lovely. Lots of things to do in the area.

Fabulous in every way, ticked all the boxes.

Great location, stunning views, spacious accommodation, comfortable, well equipped, private spacious parking, fabulous hosts, easy to access but remote and quiet, lots of places to visit and great walks. It was also a delight and privilege to be there at lambing time. Hope to return for another great holiday.

It was very comfortable and very well equipped.

There was plenty of hot water and heat. We didn’t explore all the cupboards but when I was checking before I left I found jigsaws, dvds, books and games. So much choice. An excellent location with beautiful views and extremely quiet. If you don’t like the dark I suggest you take a night light with you. We were lucky enough to have clear nights and were able to star gaze. Our hosts were lovely and very obliging

A very clean,spacious,well equipped and warm barn conversion with stunning views.

The owners are very welcoming with lots to see and do in the surrounding area.

We had a lovely weeks stay in the Barn.

Lovely views in all directions and lots of space. The owners are so nice, friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend.

An extremely tranquil cottage in a beautiful setting on a sheep farm.

We had a wonderful stay in this charming barn and the owners were very welcoming. The heating was very efficient and the cottage warmed up very quickly. The kitchen was very well equipped and we appreciated all the little details that made us feel welcome.

Excellent accommodation - comfortable clean and well appointed

We had a lovely stay.

Beautiful property. Very comfortable and clean. Fantastic views from the windows. Nancy was very welcoming. I would highly recommend a visit

Fantastic place SPECTACULAR VIEWS.

NANCY THE OWNER SEEMS TO CARE ABOUT HER GUESTS AND THE CLEANIESS OF THE BARN, EVERTHING YOU NEED.

Nancy was well accommodated.

Elegant and clean property. Well maintained. We really had a wonderful time staying at the Barn. Looking forward to be back in Summer.

This was an amazing place to stay.

The accomadation was lovey and clean with everything you need. The hosts were so lovely and we did not want to leave.

The Barn was in a lovely setting.

It was as described online and was fully equipped, clean and well maintained. The owners were extremely pleasant and welcoming. Comments made in the visitors' book by previous occupiers were excellent. We had an great stay

What a beautiful and relaxing holiday cottage, everything you need is right here, lots of things to see and visit, wish we had stayed for two weeks as still so many places and walks to do.

This is probably the best holiday cottage we have stayed with cleanliness, the kitchen being so well stocked with everything you need and lots of space to spread out and enjoy your own peace! By the end of the week we was a dab hand at the table tennis

The Barn was everything one could wish for a holiday, all round the cleanliness bathrooms shower furniture kitchen, all spotless.

And views to die for and sheep looking in your window very well positioned in the dales for visiting other places and the owners were kind and helpful I have stayed in many cottages but none could live up to the barn sad to leave and a great big thank you to the owners.

Very friendly owners with a lovely holiday cottage.

Everything you could wish for provided. Perhaps a sign at the entrance to the gateway to the Barn would be helpful for first timers.

We would highly recommend this cottage the barn was perfect couldn't fault it.

The owners Nancy, Joe and George were so friendly and welcoming. Views from every window were so picturesque. Everything you would need was in the cottage. We had a great week there. We certainly would like to return. It was an amazing experience being on a working farm the sheep and cattle kept us entertained it was so relaxing watching life there.

We enjoyed our stay.

Nice cottage in a nice location.

We had a lovely week at The Barn.

The owners were very friendly and welcoming. We booked The Barn for the views which were amazing and didn't disappoint. Would happily recommend and return.

Warm welcome from Nancy, Joe and George.

Cottage set in a lovely rural setting but with easy access to Skipton and the Dales beyond. Comfortable Beds and sofas, Kitchen well equipped and the plenty of hot water and heating when necessary. Spotlessly clean. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and we are already planning a return visit..

Lovely restful week, Watching the lambs skip around the fields was delightful.

Jo and Nancy are the perfect hosts, showed us round the farm to meet the animals, they took time to chat. The barn is situated just outside Skipton perfect for exploring the area.

We had a lovely time.

The Barn was exceptional with plenty of room, extremely clean, and very well equipped. Nancy and her husband were very friendly and helpful. Can’t fault it at all, hopefully we will be able to return soon. Well worth a visit!!

Wonderful accommodation renovated to a very high standard in a rural setting but only a short drive to Skipton.

Very comfortable beds and sofas, games room was an additional benefit. Everything you could want is provided, with loads of plates, cooking dishes, cutlery and glassware. Can’t wait to be back in the summer.

A beautifully presented property, clean, tidy & well equipped.

With a lovely warm welcome, & situated in picturesque surroundings. Certainly on our list for a return visit!

Will definitely be going back to The Barn.

Beautiful cottage & surroundings. Can't fault anything at all. Very comfortable & spotlessly clean.

Fabulous accomodation would highly recommend staying in The Barn.

A lovely welcome from the owners and just a perfect setting for a great break. Couldn't want better 'a perfect home from home' . Many thanks.

A truly memorable week spent at The Barn.

The accommodation has everything for a holiday in the Dales. It is extremely well equipped, has stunning views over the surrounding countryside, and a very warm welcome afforded by owners Nancy and Joe, and son George. No surprise that people keep returning.

The owners made us very welcome and were very helpful.

The barn was very comfortable and relaxing to return to each day.

Absolutely wonderful place to stay for a holiday.

Lovely friendly owners.

We all really enjoyed our stay.

The property was very clean and tidy and there was everything you could need. It was very kind of you to show us round when we first came also. Thank you so much for a lovely stay

The Barn is on a working farm so owners are on site, they were very welcoming and friendly.

The scenery is fabulous and we were there at lambing time so a lot of photos of cute lambs Although unable to walk from the property due to elderly family member, there is so much to do and see in the area which are a short drive away. The Barn was warm, comfortable and a really great base. Enjoyable long weekend and hope to return.

Great location and lovely cottage.

Owners very friendly and welcoming.

One of the most scenic cottages we have stayed in.

Very friendly and welcoming hosts. Tour around the farm was a bonus

Beautiful barn conversion with stunning views.

Easy access to Skipton and Ilkley. Lovely friendly hosts.

The owners were very friendly and as the barn is on a working farm they went out of their way to let us know if their work could affect us.

They warned us that harvesting could go on late and there may be noise. This in reality added to our enjoyment and holiday.

I can’t recommend the Barn enough, lovely accommodating people, spotlessly clean and incredibly comfortable, difficult to beat

FANTASTIC property.

We loved every minute of our holiday there. Views were amazing, property extremely clean, owners friendly and helpful. We loved it there! We loved living on a farm for a week and spent hours watching the baby lambs. Amazing memories made. Thankyou to the owners (we loved the tour of the farm, thankyou)

Very warm welcome and the cottage was very clean and comfortable.

The Barn at Skipton was superb in every way; very spacious, clean, warm, extremely comfortable seating and beds, huge amount of crockery and cutlery and of course the views from every window were magnificent.

We were fortunate to visit in May when the lambs provided endless fascination and entertainment. Nancy, the owner, was always available if needed and has many good reasons to be proud of the holiday home she provides and cares for. It's easy to see why so many guests return so often and we look forward to returning to The Barn one day. We enjoyed many of the local attractions, even while everything was still in partial lockdown. Harewood House and Bolton Abbey were our favourites during our first week at The Barn and there are many miles of excellent walks for all levels of interest and fitness. Our return to The Barn will allow us to take full advantage of the many attractions which had not fully opened during our week and of course to enjoy the wonderful property and kindness of the owner. Thank you Nancy.

The Barn was much bigger than we were expecting.

A beautiful location on a friendly farm. It was so quiet and relaxing and we feel very rested. Watching the lambs from the windows each day was lovely. Weather very changeable but we still managed to get out and about on some lovely walks. We will definitely return in the future.

Fantastic location with very welcoming owners

From the warm welcome to the sad goodbye our stay at the barn was all we could have hoped for.

There was so much room to live in that we unwound within minutes. The view of the sheep and cattle on the land was all you could expect from a working farm. The barn had everything you needed to make your stay a joy,well furnished and good WiFi even sky tv and DVD player if that's your thing so give the Barn a try as I know you will be as pleased with it as ourselves.

The Barn provided an excellent base to explore the southern Yorkshire Dales.

It was spotlessly clean, spacious and provided very good facilities for our family of 4 adults, but would easily fit in another 2 children. The Owners were very helpful and friendly. They were always happy to stop and explain the workings of the farm, for which the Barn provides panoramic views.

Had a lovely week at the Barn, couldn't have been more comfortable.

It is clean, warm, and very well equipped. It was like a home from home. Would love to go back and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

A wonderful setting and so handy for visiting the many Yorkshire attractions in the area.

Fantastic location within easy reach of tourist attractions.

Scenery breathtakingly with a working farm on the doorstep. Farm animals and additional wildlife provided entertainment daily. Safe play space for children and lovely outdoor sitting area providing peace at the start and end of busy days.

Lovely, friendly owners.

Really enjoyed being on and watching a working farm (farmers are underrated, hard working heroes). Great views and a beautiful part of the country.

The location was perfect for us, as it was very easy to find on the A65 (the turning is directly off it) and close to Skipton with other areas of beauty and towns of interest such as the Dales and York within easy reach too.

The Barn itself was spotlessly clean and warm and comfortable with fabulous views from every direction, as it was elevated. We chose a week which saw Storm Ciara and Storm Dennis bring torrential wind and gales, but the Barn stayed warm and dry, so it was cosy. The kitchen was well equipped and spacious; the bathrooms were modern and immaculate and there was above average storage space throughout the Barn. There were board games and a table tennis table, which kept the children entertained. In fact, it was the table tennis that 'sold it' for the kids! The immediate surroundings of the farm were also very tidy and safe, so we had no worries about the children wandering off. Most importantly, we had a very warm welcome, with milk in the fridge and tea/coffee. We knew that if there had been any problem at all, then Nancy and Joe would have sorted it straight away. Highly recommended.
