• "A fabulous property in an amazing location."

  All you could need for a perfect weekend away. Great facilities in the barn, very warm and welcoming with contact before the break with the owner to pass on details to us. Lots of lovely walks and great places to eat and drink too. We will definitely be back

• "Just returned from a fabulous week staying at Darrowby Barn."

  Spotlessly clean, modern and spacious with everything we needed. Super location in beautiful Grassington with walks from the doorstep. We did several local walks left by the owners and they were fabulous. Longer walks to Appletreewick (great pub Craven Arms) and Burnsall (lovely Tea Shop!) Also a great location to travel a little further afield by car if you wish, we visited Brimham Ricks and Fountain Abbey/Studley Royal Gardens and Deer Park - definitely worth the visits. Always found somewhere to park as permits supplied by owners Thank you for sharing your lovely holiday home with us we loved every minute!

• "Beautiful barn conversion, very cosy & comfortable."

  Building was to a high standard, kitchen was well equipped & clean. Beds were very comfortable & clean, towels were also clean & the en-suites were great! Darrowby Barn was somewhere we enjoyed coming back to in the evening with lovely walks on the doorstep!! We would book again if we were coming to the area!

• "Such a fabulous place."

  The barn is immaculate and it was beautifully presented. It has clearly been renovated to a high standard. Andy the owner is a lovely chap and he was very helpful in answering any queries we had in advance of our stay. The parking was not an issue at all. The owner provides two parking permits for the main car park, however we always managed to park one of the cars in a free parking space very near to the property. I would highly recommend this cottage.

  Thanks Sarah for your kind review of Darrowby Barn and so glad you ladies enjoyed your stay Property Owner

• "Almost every aspect of Darrowby barn was ideal, we liked the position, the thoughtful conversion etc."

  . What we did NOT like was the lack of parking facilities and for that reason alone we would not return to Darrowby barn.

  Glad you liked almost every aspect of Darrowby Barn. The description is quite clear so maybe worth reading these before travelling elsewhere with regards to parking - which is fairly typical of the village and hence we provide the passes. I note you will not return for which we are very grateful Property Owner

  Well equipped with everything you need. Comfy beds and lovely bedding. We had a couple of issues but were rectified immediately by the lovely owner. So convenient for walks and pubs. We were even lucky to catch a few days of filming for ‘all creatures great and small’. Such a lovely house to relax in with friends. Thank you.

  Accommodation was spotlessly clean, warm and extremely comfortable. Great location for local pubs and cafes. We tried a few and they were all good! Ideal base for walks both local and further afield. Local buses worked well. We had a lovely time and would not hesitate to return.

• "Darrowby Barn is a lovely conversion in a beautiful village and we had a nice relaxing New Year even managed to get some walking in despite the awful weather."

  There were some issues with our stay that need addressing to make the stay better. Listed in order of severity and importance. 1. The guttering right above the front door has separated at the joint and because the weather was so bad there was a constant stream of water pouring down right in front of the door. 2. The first floor cloakroom would have been very handy, but the door is warped (or swollen) and does not close at all, this made the cloaks unusable for mixed company and we used it for storage. 3. The next issue has been mentioned before in previous reviews and we felt warranted another mention - The front door needs some kind of blind or maybe opaque glass/film - it feels very exposed especially during the hours of darkness. 4. This next point was very relevant during our wet weather stay - the very small mat at the front entrance is inadequate. The entrance hall was constantly wet and we ended up putting newspapers down. 5. Starter pack - there were no logs left as stated and one toilet roll in each bathroom we felt was a little stingy in a 'high end' holiday cottage. 6. Welcome pack - we have stayed in many Sykes Cottages and are used to getting a welcome pack which we feel is a nice touch. This time we got a pint of milk and four biscuits. 7. Minor point - No milk jug? Please note, these points have been highlighted to help improve the property for any future guests. We enjoyed our stay in Darrowby Barn and would recommend it providing the points raised were resolved.

  Appreciate you stayed during the week of the storms but we would have fixed the guttering immediately had we been told it had blown apart Property Owner

• "We loved Darrowby Barn!"

  It is right in the village so walking to everywhere is great. Everything was clean and really cosy and just what we wanted for a beautiful holiday in the Yorkshire Dales. Parking permits provided for the main car park just a short walk away. We were able to unload at the door (very narrow cobbled lane). The lounge/dining was so lovely. But we couldn't really watch the TV from the sofa as it was a bit far away for us. Personally would switch the lounge/dining areas. One thing that would have helped is a 'Dummies guide' to using the induction hobs and oven, and also the washer/dryer. But overall we loved everything about the cottage. These comments are super picky but only because it was so lovely and would love to come back again.

  Thanks Kirsten for your great and helpful feedback on Darrowby Barn and so glad overall you enjoyed it as much as you did. Thanks for taking the time to leave your review as well. Thanks Andy Property Owner

• "We absolutely loved our stay at Darrowby Barn."

  It is really warm and comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked and the location is fantastic. A couple of minutes walk from the centre of the village and with a myriad of walks nearby. The beds are super comfortable and in fact we looked at the make and model of the mattresses for future reference for ourselves! The owners were very contactable and friendly and any small issues were sorted almost instantaneously. We would not hesitate to stay here again - and we very high standards. There are perhaps just a couple of small things to be aware of. The televisions do not have terrestrial channels only Apps and Catch Up such as iplayer and more4. There is no dishwasher. The description does not mention that there is so we should have realised, but given that the accommodation is of such a high standard that did catch us out a bit as we do like to cook and eat in. As has been mentioned previously it would be nice to have long mirrors in the bedrooms and it would also perhaps have been helpful to have had some small shelves in the bathrooms. However these are small niggles - overall our impression was of a beautiful well maintained property that we would love to stay in again if we returned to the area.

• "This is one of the nicest, cleanest and most modern cottages that I have stayed in."

  It was also in a fabulous location and very quiet. The kitchen was well stocked and it was good to have instructions in the drawer for appliances. The cottage was toasty warm, even without the fire lit. There were many plug sockets in the bedroom (a lovely change) and good lighting. If we had to say anything negative, it would be minimal.... it would be great to have a full length mirrors in the bedrooms (plenty of room on the walls), even though there is one in the hall way (which we were fighting for at one point lol) and a blind at the front door window would be good. All in all a gorgeous place to stay.

  A little difficult to find, as it is tucked away. Parking available within 100 yards, however, I suspect finding spaces might be difficult in high season.

  Spotlessly clean and comfortable. Just a two minute stroll from the central area yet also very quiet and the sound of swallows in the morning. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting access to fabulous walking alongside nice coffee shops and dining. We ate at the Blackhorse which was excellent. A highlight of my holiday to the UK. Thanks a lot Andy.

• "A beautiful house in the centre of lovely Grassington village which ment being able to easily walk to the shops, pubs and cafes Everything in the house was spotless and had all we needed."

  Possibly a hand rail on the stairs would help rather than holding on to the glass bannister. House situated in the small lane behind the woodcutter shop - our sat nav was no use but the local postman was - for drop off. Parking at the busy weekend was not easy but we always managed to find a spot using the parking passes for the National car park 10 minutes away. Lovely walks nearby and good bus service Will certainly recommend and hopefully return.

  Location was perfect for walking and a quick 2 minute stroll to the main high street and local pubs which are ideal for eating out should you not wish to cook. Could not fault the accommodations or equipment within the barn and sitting by the log fire on a wet evening was an absolute pleasure.

• "The property itself we couldn't fault, the furnishing was top grade and the location was excellent with everything on the doorstep."

  The downside was that because it was so new there was a lack of information for the property especially for the hightec appliances and the TV's in the bedrooms did not work. There was also no parking permit as described and parking can be an issue but I belive the permit is now available. Given time and the teething problems sorted out this property will be a good place to stay.

  Thanks for your feedback Brian and glad you liked the property. Yes, permit now sorted and information pack which will hopefully help going forwards. Thanks again Property Owner

• "This a beautifully appointed property in a great location."

  Although you cannot park outside other than to unload, nearby parking is easily available. Although we had no difficulty in finding the parking it might be useful to provide simple directions along with any other "good to know" information in a welcome pack. In addition it would be good to let visitors know about the local NISA store which is very handy to use.

  Thanks for your kind feedback Tim and so glad you enjoyed your stay In Darrowby Barn. Have finished the information pack which will be in the property from this coming Friday and have as per your feedback included details of the store. Thanks again and hopefully you'll get back to Grassington in the future Property Owner
