• "Hay barn is really comfortable throughout , and very well equipped in the kitchen ."

  The team; Halina, Sally, & Chris couldn’t do enough for us. With Chris sorting out someone to fix the satellite that had been damaged by a storm so we could watch terrestrial TV. We last stayed here in Sept 2017 and were very happy to be back again. We will be back.

  It had all the equipment we could possibly need. The facilities were great. All the animals were an added bonus and we loved seeing them. Everyone was friendly who we came into contact with. Great stay in a lovely, peaceful cottage. Thank you.

• "Great position and location, very clean and comfortable."

  A little confusion over how to get the oven to work as one important step missed in the instructions, but we figured it out and all was well. Overall a very good stay, and we would go there again.

  Everything you needed for a comfortable stay. A great base to explore Yorkshire. The master bed could do with upgrading as a bit lumpy! Could put up either it for a week as Everything else was great. Would recommend.

• "The Haybarn is a conversion that, when carried out was probably very comfortable, however most of the furnishings and appliances are well past their sell by date."

  The couches in the lounge are not comfortable to sit on for any amount of time, the mattress on the double bed is so soft or worn out you can actually feel the frame beneath and for a property that is occupied by various people is certainly not adequate. In the kitchen the hob which is a solid hotplate electric appliance, there are no markings visible so you have no idea which hotplate is turned on or to what degree of heat settings. I could go on about other items but suffice to say the Haybarn is located on a quite, tidy site which is in a great location for exploring nearby villages and towns. It is just tired and definitely ready to be given some TLC

  Bathrooms and Kitchen Housekeeping could be better Dusting. Dead Flies in the light fitting above the bed. I removed them A mop head was provided as was a bucket but no handle. Cleaning materials particularly for the floor and toilet would have been helpful. Very comfortable beds and lounge area. We will most certainly be booking again.

• "We had a wonderful stay at the Haybarn."

  The property is large and spacious and has everything you could possibly need including 2 hairdryers, an iron and a fully equipped kitchen. The bedrooms are large and it was lovely that our teens had their own bathroom and walk in wardrobe! The whole site is beautiful and very peaceful and tranquil. Lots of lovely walks right on your doorstep. My girls loved the animals just outside the cottage. There are 4 cheeky goats and 2 Welsh ponies that they went to see every morning. We also saw the horse and donkeys, the pig and the alpaca. We will definitely return soon. Lots of fabulous memories made.

• "This was our third time in the Hay Barn."

  We greatly enjoy this property, and closeness to countryside and dales. The only thing we were not happy with, are a couple of the unusual kitchen appliances e.g. the oven only works if the timer is used. However, check-in is always good and efficient, and everyone is very friendly. A very efficiently run place.

• "Lovely barn conversion but not in a clean condition when we arrived."

  It had a grubby feel to it with sticky work surfaces, tables and handles- cutlery and crockery were not clean. It was obvious that downstairs had not been dusted and hoovered. Some basics such as paper kitchen towels and dishwasher tablets were missing. It would also have been nice to have had some tea lights provided for the lovely lamps in the lounge. We also reported that the lever to the lounge was broken on day 2 but it was never repaired.That said, the beds were comfortable and the shower was great. It was also a a bonus to have Netflix on the TV. It was also in a good location to explore the Dales.

  Dear Sir, We are sorry that you felt we didn’t meet your expectations. Really the only thing we can say is that all previous and subsequent reviews are in the high eighties and nineties with many 100/100. Property Owner

• "This is our second holiday at the Hay Barn."

  This is because we are delighted with the superbly restored old hay barn, on the edge of attractive countryside. It is also located within easy access of the Yorkshire Dales as a whole, and the Lake District, with the Forest of Bowland to the south.

  The owners were very friendly and happy to help with any questions. The nature trail around the site and the animals were a big hit with little ones.

  Really comfortable, spacious with everything we needed. Lovely area to sit out on patio.

• "This is an exceptional cottage."

  The photos on the Sykes website looked great but we were expecting to find they'd been taken from a generous photographic angle - not so! The rooms are incredibly spacious and the cottage is fabulously equipped. With lovely neigh-bours in horses, donkeys, sheep and alpacas plus a great site with top walks from the doorstep this is a brilliant location. It's also very close to Ingleton, Clapham and Austwick all with their own fabulous walks, cafes and restaurants. A little further afield both Settle and Skipton are fantastic days out. (For dog owners we wholeheartedly recommend Curlew Cafe in Ingleton and Kibble Bakery in Skipton for their dog-friendliness and dog-menus). The staff supporting the cottage were absolutely fantastic too and very quick to help with queries. Although the weather did not smile on us at all in our week away, with wall-to-wall rain (which made the waterfalls spectacular) but we still thoroughly enjoyed our week away at Hay Barn.

• "This is a fabulous cottage/barn."

  There is everything you could wish for in the kitchen. There is an abundance of pots, pans and cooking dishes/utensils etc. The bed was so comfortable and the bedding was good quality. It was also very warm and cosy. I would certainly recommend this property. The location was great with so many attractions close by and within half hours drive. We would certainly go back and stay there again if we visited the area again.

  More information in the cottage on walks and things to do in the area would have been appreciatef and more attention to things like checking light bulbs by the cleaners was needed as there were 2 out which was annoying. Having said that we had an excellent stay.

  All the rooms have a ‘wow’ factor. Wonderful underfloor heating greeted us on our arrival. Plenty of towels, hand soap and toilet paper provided. Graham greeted us and couldn’t have been more helpful. We enjoyed the woodland walk and looking at a variety of birds from the hide. The visiting peacock was a delight to watch wondering outside the cottage as well as listening to the woodpecker. Would love to go back.
