Usherwoods Barn

A wonderful place.

Fantastic views outside, (cows, sheep, chickens and wallabies as neighbours!) comfy and plenty of space indoors, very well equipped. Walks straight from door. (If you want to be in the hub of things - this is not for you- need a car to get to shops and pubs - it was perfect for us). Situated well for visiting the lakes or dales and forest of bowland. Owners friendly and helpful. We loved our time at Usherwoods Barn and would definitely rebook and definitely recommend to anyone who wants to escape to peace and quiet.

This is a beautiful place to stay, so relaxing and peaceful, and the views are amazing.

The only sounds you hear are sheep, birdsong and bees buzzing. The accommodation is very comfortable and well equipped. It's warm and spacious, but cosy too. The kitchen is very well equipped, with tea, coffee, milk and biscuits provided on arrival. High Bentham is handy nearby for basic supplies, takeaways and pubs. This was our second visit to Usherwoods, the first time staying at the Dairy next door, which is equally beautiful with the added bonus of a ground floor bedroom. There were just the two of us staying here for a wedding this time. Our previous stay was for a family gathering. My brother said it was the best holiday cottage he'd ever stayed in. I couldn't agree more. We hope to come back again before too long.

We enjoyed a short stay at the barn.

It was wonderful, well equipped with everything you could possibly need, comfy and clean with stunning peaceful views. The owner was very helpful and accommodating and even let us stay a little longer on our last day.

Lovely cottage.

Great location. Only minor issue is Sat Nav doesn’t locate accurately but owners directions were good.

Beautiful cosy cottage.

Underfloor heating was brilliant. All the rooms clean and cosy. Enclosed garden for the dog.

Very nicely presented and comfortable property which we thoroughly enjoyed spending our New Year holiday at with some great walks and gastro pubs within 10 miles or so.

Very helpful owner living adjacent to the cottage and great communication. Will certainly consider for a return trip to the area.

We had a fantastic stay in the Barn.

The property is spacious and comfortable and the Aga makes for a very cosy experience. Furnishings and linens are of the best quality and the kitchen is fitted out with everything you need. Our hosts were attentive and really friendly. The big surprise was the wallabies - super cute!

A beautifully presented barn conversion in a quiet and relaxing setting, with stunning views for miles around.

Our group of 5 adults enjoyed the 4 night stay, and we could also see what a great place it would be for a family with children. The cottage was well equipped, had a great stock of books and games, was very clean and comfortable, and had a good wifi connection. Host Fiona was most welcoming, and had graciously provided a 'welcome pack' consisting of a few food essentials We would certainly look to stay here again whenever we visit the area.

Very well presented property.

Secure enclosed garden. Owner very helpful and friendly. A very enjoyable stay.

We seen the reviews before booking and all of them were correct.

Exceptional accommodation with outstanding scenery with beautiful sunsets and above all peaceful and relaxing. Our host Fiona was very welcoming and a lovely touch with the essentials for the kitchen on our arrival. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable. We loved it so much that we have already booked Christmas there as well. We look forward to seeing again Fiona and this time for more than just the weekend. See you soon and looking forward to the log burning fire.

Really enjoyed our stay here for the week.

Beautiful, remote, quiet location. Very peaceful. We have a small spaniel and the back garden was perfectly enclosed for her to wander about in. This was a big plus point for us. Great views. Plenty of wildlife on show. Sheep and cows grazing just over the back garden wall. Wallabies, which I wasn’t expecting, out the front of the cottage. Cottage had everything we needed. Modern and comfortable. Wi-fi was good. Shower in master bedroom was lovely. High Bentham is closest village around 5-10 mins drive away. Would definitely stay here again.

The property itself was lovely and the location was superb.

We particularly enjoyed the peace and quiet only ever broken by the sound of the surrounding animals. A truly beautiful place to relax

We had a lovely stay over Easter weekend.

The barn was beautifully presented, clean, stocked with essentials and the host was helpful and responsive. The back garden view is gorgeous and looks out for miles. The barn is remote but a very close drive to villages and lots of great options closeby for walks. Highly recommend this place if you want a peaceful getaway with friends or family.

Short stay over New Year.

Owners communication was great answering any questions I had. Barn was beautiful, and views amazing on a clear day. All amenities provided and decorated for Christmas which was lovely too. Used the log burner but barn was very warm without it. You will need a vehicle to visit places as barn is in an isolated area but would recommend if you need to get away from the hustle and bustle of life.

Couldn’t fault anything.

It was just perfect. Beautifully decorated for Christmas, everything we could possibly need. Really warm and cosy. Welcome pack of milk, shortbread etc Owner very welcoming and in hand if we needed anything. Would recommend

Wonderful barn conversion with all the mod cons.

Fabulous location, spotlessly clean, quality bedding and towels, 3 super bathrooms, extremely comfortable with great parking and enclosed outdoor space for our one small dog. Would highly recommend.

Very comfortable house to stay in there was nothing we wanted for , would go back again

Our third stay at usherwoods , one word perfect .

So much so booked again , owners are amazing so welcoming . This is my happy place

Just back from an amazing week at Usherwoods Barn.

The cottage is absolutely perfect - immaculately clean, very well stocked with everything you could possibly need for Xmas and a stunning sitting room - the perfect setting for our Xmas dinner! Our dog loved the garden and we loved the fire - thank you so much. We will definitely be back!

Lovely spacious and elegant sitting dining room was really great to share with friends.

Three sofas around the wood burner gives loads of comfy seating for everyone. Nice big kitchen with plenty of work space and a second dining table. We like to cook. The equipment was reasonable but one or two basics missing. Potato peeler & rolling pin. Minor thing really. The dish washer didn't wash brilliantly and was really noisy. Great secure garden for the dog with the most amazing views. Very cute pet wallabies at the front. Good information file and Friendly owner next door. Great walks straight from the front door. Almost perfect Holiday cottage.

The cottage was lovely.

Very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay very much. Owner was lovely and very helpful. Lots of lovely walks with the dogs (albeit very muddy!!). Cottage was very well equipped.

Excellent directions to this dog friendly cottage.

Delightfully remote and very spacious. Facilities very good. Fiona was friendly and welcoming and unobtrusive. Spectacular views : 3 peaks. wild hares in the fields and wallabies out back (of course!). Plenty to do for non walkers. Hope to go back .

Had a great relaxing week at Usherwoods meeting up with friends and family.

The cottage was very comfortable and cosy with good views, great for watching curlews, lapwings and oyster catchers. It felt remote but was ideally placed for exploring villages/seaside/nature reserves and other attractions.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful setting.

Couldn't fault it and will definitely be back.

What a lovely cottage with the most spectacular views to boot!

Our family of six had a fabulous time with everything you needed to hand and plenty of space too. Would highly recommend it to anyone. Thanks.

Fantastic cottage, with everything you could need.

The location is stunning, and the sunsets are incredible. Highly recommend.

Ffiona and Ros were really friendly and always available to answer any queries.

The cottage was spacious and comfortable and I would recommend it to anyone. It had a private garden where our dog could roam. Its location is good for local walks and walking in the Yorkshire Dales, a short drive to the 3 peaks. Local pubs/restaurants are nearby.

This was our third visit and we had were not disappointed.

Our daughter chose to stay here to celebrate her 21st birthday :) Usherwoods Barn is a perfect place to stay at to unwind. Accommodation has everything you need and is cosy and warm. Fiona (the owner) is very friendly and welcoming too. Highly recommend.

Second stay Usherwoods and I can highly recommend it.

It is rural but for us that’s the beauty. A pure week of relaxation , good walks and good food, the kitchen is home away from home and I love cooking, who needs to eat out when I can make a great meal at home . Beds are comfortable and we slept amazing . Showers are powerful and hot. The roll top bath is pure luxury. The whole place is very clean. Fiona the owner is a lovely lady and makes sure your stay is everything you want and even rescues you form the the rain If you want a relaxing break on top of the moors to recharge then this is your place

Fabulous property and location.

Stunning views from this country cottage.

Lovely cottage well equipped. Great location to explore the dales, Lancashire and the lakes. Fabulous break. The wallabies were a bonus x

Usherwood's was lovely.

The accomodation is beautiful, comfortable and very well equipped. Kids toys and lots of books. The enclosed garden was great. The neighbouring cows and sheep were also very friendly not to mention the wallabies saying hello every morning. Fiona was a great host so thank you very much for a fantastic stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Usherwoods Barn.

It was spacious and comfortable had everything that you could think of and the view from the garden was breathtaking. We spent the week walking in the local area, there is no need to travel far, it’s all on the doorstep. The pubs in the local area served very good food and were all very welcoming. We would not hesitate to book The Barn again, it was a brilliant week!

Apologies for the delay in reviewing Usherwoods Barn.

We had a delightful stay. The property was very clean and very comfortable. We very much enjoyed the splendid isolation, and Fiona was lovely and helpful without being intrusive at all. We will most certainly be returning.

Loved the property and the location which was comfortable, relaxing and very peaceful.

Fiona our host was very helpful and we'll certainly look to revisit in the future.

A fantastic cottage warm well equipped and in a beautiful rural location.

Would not hesitate to recommend it.

The property is situated in a wonderful area with fantastic views from the rear enclosed garden which our dog loved playing in.

Everything was there that you needed, the cottage was nice and warm throughout and the beds where very comfortable, the WiFi was strong and the amount of TV channels including Netflix made for enjoyable evenings in. We had a very peaceful and enjoyable holiday and enjoyed chatting to the lady who owned the property, Fiona, who made us feel very welcome. We would recommend this holiday let to all our friends and family.

Fabulous house!

Possibly with the best view in England! Totally 5 star in every way, beautifully furnished, with quality, comfortable sofas, beds and duvets, and huge fluffy towels. Stunning stone floors with fabulous underfloor heating which stayed warm all night, better than mine at home! Everything is provided and a nice, safe, enclosed garden that my dog couldn't escape from. Off the beaten track, so away from any noise or light pollution - walked my dog in the mornings, before heading out for the day, with no other people or cars about, only the sound of curlews and the odd hare bobbing about. A stunning location and fabulous sunsets. I couldn't recommend this house highly enough, Fiona was just next door to provide any help, but wasn't intrusive and left us a lovely welcome pack including fresh eggs from her chickens. Would definitely return!

Second time in Usherwoods.

Can’t fault it.

We have been to a lot of cottages and I can honestly say this is in the top 3.

Absolutely fabulous - spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable and the underfloor heating is amazing very toasty. Have nothing negative to say. Would love to return.

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location.

..we will definitely be coming back!

Really good setup in roomy and modern barn conversion.

We had power cut for almost a day because of storm Arwen, but the underfloor heating kept us lovely and warm through retained heat, and made us realise just how comfortable stone-floors can be. Fantastic space for 6 of us when all family were here, and great when just two of us. Thoroughly recommended.

Husband myself and the pooch stayed for a week in November , WOW this cottage has been food for the soul, rural, peaceful and beautiful.

The cottage itself has everything you need , I love to cook and loved the aga. Beds and bathrooms are spotlessly clean and so comfortable, best night sleep ever Fiona the owner is a wonderful lady and kindly rescued me for torrential rain that we stupidly got caught in. Then to top it off the wallabies are lovely , I found myself saying good morning everyday. We have booked for next year and cannot wait

Beautiful setting for this spacious, yet warm and cosy cottage with fantastic views over the valley.

An excellent position for walking - we went up PenY Gent , but for the less adventurous there is a lovely walk directly from the house.. A perfect venue for our family get- together over the half term holidays. The owner Fiona was very friendly and helpful and had provided lots of games, jigsaws etc which our family appreciated .The stone floor, with underfloor heating was great and very practical. We visited Salmersbury Hall- a free day out in an interesting historic house with a cafe and lovely play area for children. Carnforth (home of Brief Encounter museum) and Lakeside Wildlife Oasis also nearby. Gawthorpe NT house also worth a visit.

The cottage was fantastic we took our team up there for a working week away to plan for 2022 but also to have a break as a treat.

The facilities and the location were amazing, the owner was very friendly and welcoming. There is so much space available if you're in a group and the photos do not highlight how much space there is. We will definitely be back as we really enjoyed the location, the peace and quiet of the area. Our puppy loved his trip away it is really dog friendly. It was the perfect autumn location as it was very cosy with the dark nights.

Fantastic cottage in a great location with amazing views weather was really kind and we will definitely be booking again for next year and would recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful location but with facilities and lovely pubs a short drive away.

We had a wonderful week staying at Usherwoods Barn, it really is a home from home, clean, spacious and comfortable with the most amazing views from the back garden.

The area is stunning and we will definitely be returning when we can.

A spacious comfortable home from home in a stunning location with good walks from the door or a short drive away.

Plenty of amenities nearby with Bentham for a good selection of local shops and places for food or slightly further to Settle to Kirby Longsdale for larger supermarkets. A perfect place to relax and unwind after enjoying the local area.

The Barn is very well appointed, exactly as described.

The owner lives next door and is very friendly and helpful but unobtrusive - lovely welcome and welcome pack. The unique feature, though, is the magnificent view from the back rooms and private terrace - magical. Rolling hills, Dales peaks, fields dotted with sheep, lambs and cattle, birdsong - nature at its best. The Wallabies were an added attraction for the grandchildren - such fun!

Love Usherwoods

The cottage is very rural & very peaceful it is attached to the owners & next to another cottage but this definitely doesn't spoil your privacy.

The views front and especially the rear of the property are stunning, (cute wallabies at the front!) Inside the cottage the kitchen was large with everything you could need for your stay. The lounge was very comfortable with the lovely log burner (which was well used!) 3 bathrooms and the bath in one was fantastic huge. The 3 bedrooms were spacious & plenty of storage. The whole cottage was exceptionally cleaned especially with covid etc. The owner met us on arrival and she's lovely and very helpful. If you want a quiet rural escape to the country then this is the perfect place close enough to a shop or takeaway/pub & still far enough away for quietness.

The Barn was lovely, understandably there could not be certain items due to covid restrictions but we had everything we needed.

Fiona was lovely and was at hand should we need anything. The barn was cosy and we loved the under floor heating, as did our dog Molly. We could not fault it. Thank you Fiona.

Beautiful cottage in beautiful surroundings.

Saw a calf being born just outside the garden. Total tranquillity, which was just what we were looking for.

Such a comfortable house!

Beds for sleeping and sofas for sitting all sumptuous. Fun cooking on an aga for the first time. Wonderful looking out of the window in the morning to see the cows and sheep looking back at us! Very roomy and had everything we needed or wanted. We will definitely go back.

Very spacious but very cosy.

The views are astounding but it is off the tourist radar so blissfully quiet except for the occasional bleating sheep.

Lovely cottage which was perfect for our stay visiting family in Bentham.

My elderly grandparents loved their stay and raved about how comfortable the mattress was. The facilities in the property well exceeded my expectations and there was a lovely reception from the owners with a welcome of milk, cookies and their own eggs! Wallabies very visible from this property. Lots of room for parking. Would 10/10 recommend :)

Property is amazing, the views are brilliant, owner helpful and friendly, local eggs nice, wallabies amazing!

Fab cottage.

Extremely comfortable. Could not fault the cottage or facilities. Everything supplied for a comfortable stay.

What a beautiful house in a wonderful location.

Views were just exceptional. Lovely spacious house. Equipped to the very highest standard. Would love to go back!!

This is a lovely cottage in a quiet location.

Everything we needed was provided and Fiona showed us how to use the range cooker and it was great to know the owners were nearby. The house was really warm and it took a while to get the temperature right but better too warm! We really liked being close to places to visit such a s Ingleton and Hawes and it was an easy drive to Pen Y Ghent. Using the really good train service from Bentham was a bonus and we had a great day in Saltaire. We are so glad that we chose this cottage and would happily return to explore further.

We were warmly greeted and everything was explained to us as to how things worked.

The cottage was amazing in a quiet peaceful location and we really enjoyed our stay. It was easily the best we have ever stayed in and would not hesitate to stay here again if we ever returned to the UK.

We look forward to returning to this lovely barn in its idyllic surrounds shortly.

Views were spectacular, barn is nestled in beautiful country countryside and has the added treat of a family of wallabies to feed in the neighbouring paddock!

As the weather wasnt great that week, it was wonderful to come back to the barn with underfloor heating.

It was a lovely sociable family space.

This was one of few cottages that we have stayed in, and we have stayed in may over the years, that we would love to return to.

In fact we wished we could have stayed fr an extra week! Everything was perfect. Our host was very friendly but not intrusive and the facilities she provided were excellent. We needed nothing more.

Very well appointed barn conversion yet still retaining that cottagey feel.

It was spacious, yet warm and cosy too! The garden was smallish but perfectly adequate, particularly if you are planning on being out and about in the fantastic walking country in every direction. Stunning scenery all around with curlew flying over and wallabies on the property - highly recommended for those who love the countryside.

Cottage in a peaceful setting, accommodation was excellent and owner was on hand if required.

I would certainly recommend and look forward to our next visit.

Sorry it’s taken a while to post this review, we were @ Usherwoods in Nov 18.

5 people 1 large dog(American bull), plenty of room we didn’t get under each other’s feet. the accommodation/facilities were absolutely as described. Handy welcome pack & milk on arrival, a nice touch. To say how spacious the barn is it kept lovely & toasty warm, underfloor heating in the porch/front door area was a treat for the feet after kicking off (sometimes wet/muddy) walking boots. Same with showers/bath, all hot & worked a treat. Beds/pillows comfy. The main bedroom with toilet/shower has a quirky floor level/foot level window...perfect for dogs to lay & nosey out of. For us everything was clean & good. Plenty of parking outside the barn. There’s an enclosed pretty long, narrow garden, we still kept our dog leaded up as she could’ve jumped the walls/gate if she’d really wanted to. We met the lady owner who lives next to the barn but doesn’t intrude at all, she is on hand for extra logs or info on the local area etc. The grounds of the barn are lovely, great to see wallabies- our dog was very intrigued with them. We went to the Co-op in High Bentham for any supplies, it’s a 5minute drive or 3mile walk (we did walk it there & back one of the days). Would recommend & would return.

Beautiful and comfortable house in a lovely location.

Great location

In a great location with amazing views and peace and quiet

Excellent stay from start to finish, did not want to leave.

We had all the different changes in weather and the snow did not stop us from getting about. The Barn is extremely comfortable very spacious and has everything you need. The owner is on hand if you need anything, she is very approachable and very kind. The views are spectacular and the walks amazing, plenty to do in this area. We will be returning already booked can not wait to return, Happy days.

This is a beautiful cottage, perfect for walking and getting some peace and quiet.

There is a fab roll top bath and fluffy white towels. The beds are comfy. The kitchen has everything you need.

Outstanding property in beautiful place.

Particularly loved seeing the wallaby's.

Fantastic property booked along with the bigger dairy.

Facilities are first rate and the owner Fiona was very helpful from start to finish. Very comfortable with more than enough room for everyone. Excellent location with wonderful views of Ingleborough. You can go on walks from the doorstep with the big stone a firm family favourite. High Bentham is easily accessible and has a good chippy to boot. We will definitely return.

The Barn is a wonderful place, all you can hear are sheep, cows and birds.

If I could have brought the barn home with me I would, it is a big place as there were only 3 of us there, we were spoilt for choice of where to sit so we were certainly not in each other's way! The main traffic on the local roads are sheep! We made the most of the central location, visiting the lakes, the dales, the coast and south to Skipton and Howarth. A delightful holiday was had and fantastic weather!

We thoroughly enjoyed our peaceful holiday in this beautiful and spacious barn.

The property is surrounded by fields with far reaching views. The enclosed garden was perfect for our dog. Would highly recommend

Tranquil , beautifully appointed barn conversion in picturesque rural location with stunning views .

Plenty to do nearby , loveky walks and Dales towns and not far from the Lake District . Friendly , helpful owner next door but not intrusive. Would highly recommend.
