  • "The barn was a delightful place to celebrate mine and my friend's 60th birthday."

    It easily accommodated 8 people. And the quality of furnishings was top spec. Lynn the host was very helpful and sent keys back to us immediately that someone had left. We had a goody basket including a bottle of red wine and sweets that everyone appreciated. Thee was a great supply of basics of n the cupboards with the simple request to replace anything that is used up. There were ample toilets,showers and even a bath. We fll I. Love with the scenery Nd had a beautiful walk on a bridal wyy which was right on our doorstep. The lane up to the barn was a tricky drive but Lynn gave accurate instructions on how to negotiate it. Thank you Lynn; we would definitely love to come back

  • "What a lovely place for a family gathering."

    The children enjoyed every minute and lots of special memories were made. The house is well equipped, very spacious and everything you need is on hand. I cannot fault anything about it except the road leading up to the barn, if attempting to walk into Todmorden you need to be fit apart from that our time spent there over New Year was faultless. Thank you.

    Absolutely beautiful house and surroundings, would recommend it for anyone who wants a family/ friends get together for a few days. All the home comforts you need for a relaxing getaway, love this place so much!

  • "Very spacious accommodation."

    Beautifully furnished and very well equipped. Great welcome pack. Fabulous Pennine countryside all around. Really lovely. The only downside is road access especially as some of us arrived in the dark due to the time of year. People did get up and down safely following Lynne's advice but there was some trepidation. We had a great weekend; thank you.

  • "We had a wonderful weekend at Shoebroad Barn."

    The location is fabulous - close to all the fun in the town but peaceful with fabulous views and easy access to walks in the stunning surrounding countryside. We loved seeing all the animals! The Barn is spacious and manages to be warm, comfortable and cosy at the same time. The bathrooms and showers are great. Thank you for a brilliant stay!

  • "We had a lovely time at Shoebroad Barn and it was perfect for our annual girls weekend."

    Really comfy beds and great showers. The welcome pack is a lovely touch. Unfortunately the hill to the property has traumatised our drivers and it would be the only thing putting us off from revisiting the barn (though the host driving one of the cars up the hill herself was lovely)

  • "The property was spacious, comfortable and well kept."

    We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this location, although anyone who has any problems walking up (and down) an albeit short 'hill' to/from the property to go into town, may find it unsuitable.

  • "I knew travelling to the property by car was quite difficult so I booked 2 taxis to take us and return to the station."

    Unfortunately one of the taxis refused to make the ascent to the property leaving 3 ladies, luggage and shopping, to walk! I think it should be stated how difficult it is to reach the property by car.

  • "The house was extremely well stocked."

    Everything one could possibly want was provided. The house felt comfortable and welcoming. Everything was so easy. Access was a bit awkward but the instructions were excellent and we had no trouble at all. It was such an easy house to live in.

    It is steep & a little narrow, ie. Not 2 car width but if you can drive & follow the easy instructions/directions given then not an issue The road is used regularly & by the taxi company, clearly 1 taxi driver had no problem but the other did Property Owner

  • "Very pleasant location in countryside with beautiful walks from the front door but still just a few minutes walk from Todmorden town centre."

    Large, comfortable well appointed accommodation ideal for a large family group or group of friends. 10 people would not get in each other's way. The distance to the town is only a few 100 metres although the hill is steep. Great place to stay. Would definitely recommend and go again myself.

  • "Fabulous place - lovely spacious house with glorious views."

    Picture window in the lounge needs some attention as one pane was hard to see through due to condensation but we could live with that! The kids loved the horses nearby - they were in their element. The drive up to Shoebroad was a bit hairy - perhaps a turning circle might help out here? Loved the proximity to Todmorden town - plenty to do even when the bad weather closed in. Had a great weekend - precious memories made! Thank you!

    ). Everything provided to cater for families from the cradle to the elderly, including games for the children and lots of bathrooms and facilities for everyone to have a great time. A beautiful setting with stunning views. Quiet and peaceful yet within reach of good tourist towns and villages. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

  • "Exceptional accommodation and location!"

    We had the most wonderful stay, the cottage is beautiful and exceptionally kitted out (especially the kitchen with lots of fridge and freezer space) with lots of little extras one doesn’t usually expect. Very comfortable ideal for more than one family to enjoy together particularly of multiple ages . The land around is beautiful, sitting in the living room drinking coffee and enjoying the views while watching the children play in garden will be missed. The children will particularly miss the horses outside the kitchen window. The little games room is a nice touch too. Thank you for a lovely holiday!

  • "We booked this barn because of its location and size."

    There was 9 of us in total, made up of 3 different families. The bedrooms were lovely, bright and airy with plenty of room and the beds were so comfy. Best nights sleep I’ve ever had whilst being away from home. The barn was really well equipped. Absolutely everything that we needed was there. Having a games room for the children was an extra bonus and kept them entertained, along with playing in the garden. The surroundings were gorgeous, amazing views of the countryside with plenty of good walks for the dog. The children loved seeing the animals and enjoyed petting the horses which were stabled nearby. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this place. It was a wonderful weekend away and I’d really like a return visit.

  • "This is a lovely place to stay, everything you need for a trip away."

    The views are stunning and there are loads of places to walk nearby. You can walk into the town and get the train further afield very easy. Please follow Lynnes instructions for the hill, it’s actually very easy when you do.

  • "Stayed here as a family group (9 of us over 3 generations) and found the property to be as described, really comfortable and very relaxing."

    Very well catered for cooking and dining for all of us. Plenty of glasses, mugs, crockery etc. Excellent location for walks and trail running. The local Tesco delivered there too. Everything went smoothly and would certainly consider returning to explore more of the area as there's plenty to see and do.

  • "Three RAF veterans plus wives had a very pleasant few days at this lovely cottage, in a slightly quirky location, thank you."

    We were here to celebrate a 70th birthday and thoroughly enjoyed our time throughout. Thank you for the welcome pack by the way, much appreciated. We found the cottage to be warm, comfortable and very spacious for the six of us. The walk up to Stoodley Pike and back from the cottage was particularly exhilarating (about 6 miles I think) and the lunch break at the Top Brink pub following our decent was just what we needed. On another day we caught the train to Halifax (a very pleasant town) and visited the famous Piece Hall (highly recommended) which we very much enjoyed. A trip to the Town Hall to see its amazing ceiling was an added bonus. On another day we walked along the Rochdale canal to the pretty town of Hebbden Bridge (Happy Valley) and spent time wandering around the place and visiting lots of small and specialist shops before catching the bus back. In fact we never used our cars once all the time that we were there. The local taxi service is excellent and will charge just £4 to take you into or bring you back from the town centre if you don’t fancy the steep walk. All in all an excellent stay at a top quality property.

  • "We had a lovely family Christmas at Shoebroad Barn."

    The property is a fantastic size with lots of space for our large gathering (we had 5 adults and 3 kids). The beds were comfy, with good mattresses and pillows, and the living room was well appointed for the family to spend time together. Through the drizzly English winter weather we saw glimpses of the beautiful scenery from all the rooms, and we really liked being so close to the stables and seeing the horses regularly. The downside was the rather hairy track on the final stretch to the barn, which seems to take a knack to negotiate. Many times some of us just parked down by the houses at the end of the track and walked the final bit up the hill instead. The location within walking distance to Todmorden station was really handy too. Thanks to Lynne for dressing the house for Christmas for us, and keeping in touch with us throughout.

  • "The approach road to the property is not for the faint-hearted, anyone with mobility issues will find themselves trapped in the property unless they use a car."

    The property itself does have the wow factor, great kitchen, spacious lounge and quirky dining room. The staircase is amazing the 4 bedrooms are roomy, to say the least with 3 of them ensuite only the king-size bedroom opposite the family bathroom is not. A bigger TV especially as it was the World Cup when we were there is only one of the few criticisms, fridge space was a premium with eight of us there.

    We have 1 integrated fridge and a fridge freezer which has always been ample for our visitors up to now. If you wanted to watch the football on a big screen then perhaps you should have stayed at home or gone to a pub….. Property Owner

    There was a large garden out the back for our family and dog. A lovely welcome pack received on our first day with local cakes, chocolate treats, milk, eggs. There was cleaning products available also. The property is at the top of a hill (quite steep!) But there's a few chairs on the way up if you need a breather! We managed fine (mid 40s with teenage children and a baby in a pram) and used to laugh about it! At the bottom of the hill, approx 2 mins walk is the local shops, bars and restaurants. We never had a bad meal! We met the gentleman who owns the property (sorry can't remember his name) who was so friendly. All the neighbours are absolute gems who can't do enough for you and give you advice if you require. They absolutely love telling you about their farm and engaging with you if you want to. Stuart (aka the animal whisperer) was loved by our dog also. He knows a good soul when he sees one! Ha ha. Lynn who owns the property was lovely and responded promptly to a few minor queries we had. All in all an amazing holiday, excellent facilities (everything was to hand for cooking, cleaning etc). Would definitely definitely return. Thanks so much to lynne, family and neighbours:)

The property fulfilled our needs with a spacious garden and immaculate views to enjoy right on the doorstep.
