Padley Barn

We really enjoyed our stay at Padley Barn.

The property is set in a beautiful location. Very well equipped, really clean and plenty of space for all 6 of us. The owner has made a lot of effort to provide information on everything within the porperty and suggestions on places to visit nearby. My only gripe is the neighbour's dogs - they are not secured so we had numerous occasions where a pack of them appeared into the garden of the barn. We had our 2 young kids with us, so this was not ideal. The visitor book suggests to keep your children under control....100% should be the other way about given dogs are secondary beings! This particular pack of dogs also spends the majority of the day barking which does spoil the peace and quiet of the area. This was my only negative on the experience.

We had a great stay ,the cottage setting is fabulous ,we couldn’t have wished for a better equipped kitchen ,showers powerful ,beds comfortable.

walks from doorstep for us perfect .

Such unforgettable holiday memory spending my time with my family in the middle of lovely snowy weekend in Padley Barn.

Would love to come again. Val has been nice to us, proactively ring me to inform about the snowy weather and the best road to take. The Padley Barn is spotless, cosy, and warm.

Lovely place,comfortable and cosy.

It was well equipped with everything you needed

An absolutely Amazing barn.

Clean, tidy, beds were comfortable. Had everything you could possibly need. Nice remote location but not too far to main towns if needed. Wifi and heating was spot on. Rebooked for next year it was that nice. Thank You

A superb cottage in a very peaceful setting.

Well equipped, comfortable, cosy and warm (we visited in November) A short break and would certainly consider staying for longer another time.

The cottage was beautiful and very clean, beds were very comfortable and bedding was clean.

The cottage facilities are excellent and the welcome basket was much appreciated. Scenery is beautiful and I enjoyed my stay there. I can highly recommend this cottage.

The remote setting was fantastic, an abundance of wildlife , the scenery was stunning .

We had a fabulous stay and will look to return . Thank you for a great week away

Padley Barn is an excellent property.

Whilst remote it is easily accessible from a reasonable road. Facilities and equipment are excellent. Cery clean and well kept Beds very comfortable. Amazing wildlife to view and great walks from the front door. We are hoping to return. The only comment is that an additional recycling box and cardboard container would be useful. Due to 2 weekly collections the recycling box was full on our arrival so we ended up bringing our recycling home to dispose of.

Would have no hesitation recommending this property.

This was our second visit and hope its not the last one.

Cosy, comfortable, clean accommodation in a remote location.

The barn was very well equipped. The bed was (for us) very comfortable. Plentiful supply of hot water and the shower worked really well. The welcome pack was very much appreciated. We've stayed in many places in the UK and this was one of the best. Nothing negative to say!

We had a fantastic stay and loved the cottage.

The only little thing that would have improved our stay would have been some information about the fire. We are not experts in lighting fires and a little diagram and some basic instructions would have helped, eg how to open vents and which vents did what. Everything else was amazing. The detailed instructions on how to find the cottage meant we got there without any issues. The cottage itself had everything we needed. Unfortunately we couldn't find the bags to put the linen in so apologies we stripped the beds and left it in the rooms. We had a great visit and would certainly recommend.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location.

The cottage was comfortable and warm, and very well equipped. Plenty of clear info on the cottage and the locality was provided. We saw barn owls in the field opposite, a woodpecker in the garden and the Northern Lights!

We loved our Christmas stay at Padley Barn.

.. very well equipped, comfortable, quiet and beautiful location. Great for exploring the Dales...our week went to quickly! But I'm sure we'll be back...

The log fire was fantastic, with plenty of wood and coal on site for just a little extra but worth it for the convenience.

The shower in the en-suite was also fantastic. The only negatives I can say was the kitchen tap kept leaking and making strange sounds and I'm not sure why the recycle rubbish wasn't collected on the Friday? Overall, we had a great time and would stay again. Definitely value for money, which is why this was our second visit to the location.

We had another lovely stay at Padley Barn.

The location is beautiful and very peaceful. The barn is warm, cosy and comfortable. An ideal position to explore the Yorkshire dales.

A lovely property with all comforts provided, an excellent welcome pack and peace and quiet pretty much guaranteed.

A lovely, very well-equipped and comfortable property in a beautiful and quiet location.

One of the nicest places we have stayed in - we really enjoyed our holiday. The owner is very friendly and helpful and provides comprehensive information about the barn and surrounding area.

Padley Barn was beautiful and although very remote it was easy to get to shops.

The scenery was stunning and we had a great stay and with the weather being kind to us we were able to do some lovely walks. We would recommend it to anyone who enjoys peace and quiet and beautiful views. Many thanks to the owners for a lovely welcome pack .

Many thanks for an excellent few days at Padley Barn, we really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning in the future.

Everything was very clean, comfortable and cosy just as described and very well equipped.

Myself and three friends stayed at Padley Barn.

The cottage had everything we needed and when we arrived there was a basket with a bottle of wine and some biscuits which was a nice touch. The beds were really comfy. The ower told me she had recently replaced the mattresses. There were beautiful walks from the house which we enjoyed each day. Reeth was great for food where there are pubs and cafes. We would definitely come again.

We cooked Christmas Dinner.

The kitchen is very very well equipped and we cooked with ease. Bedrooms are nice although the middle bedroom mattress has had it and could do with replacing. Lovely living room with a smart tv and good WiFi. We had a really enjoyable Christmas week. It went far too quickly, we could have done with another week

This is one of the nicest places we have stayed in, home from home, everything you need in a remote peaceful spot with enough nearby to satisfy those who wanted to get out for the day.

Plenty of nearby walks and exploring opportunities for kids who love the outdoors, neighbours were also lovely, left my 6 year old a Halloween treat on the doorstep, really kind and thoughtful. Beds were really comfy, no wardrobe in the double room but didn't cause us any problems, wall hooks and drawers available. Absolutely fell in love with Padley Barn, was really disappointed to come home, hopefully we will come back again soon.

Padely Barn oozes quality, character and comfort with a bit of quirkiness thrown in.

Set in the tiny hamlet of Hurst which was an important lead mining area (visit Richmond Museum to learn about Hurst's lead mining history) it is far from the hustle and bustle of modern life. It is a good base to explore the Dales and there are plenty of pubs and cafes in nearby Reeth. Padely Barn has everything you need and more for a comfortable stay and even comes with a bottle of wine and "goodies" in a presentation hamper. The few neighbours that are about are very friendly and will happily talk about the local area and where to visit. All in all, a perfect place to stay!

Feit like home.

BEAUTIFUL!

We try and get up to Swaledale twice year (birthdays in March, Anniversary in September), and I have been coming to Swaledale nearly all my life. Sue and I have rented cottages over the last 10 years, and this was one of the best! I know sometimes it is a matter of taste, but if you want somewhere that is completely off the beaten track, beautiful views, cosy, isolated, clean, comfortable, very well equiped, wonderful place to walk, this is the place. It isn't the cheapest, but for what you get, if you want the above, it is great value for money.

Yet another cottage that was exactly as advertised.

Exceptional welcome pack provided by owner. Chosen for its quiet location and didnt disapoint. Several enjoyable walks and unexpected photograph opportunities along valleys with abandoned buildings and landscapes left by mining from bygone years.

This is our second visit to Padley Barn This time we went with some friends and they loved it just as much as we did Fantastic location Fabulous Cottage We will definitely be back The welcome gifts were much appreciated Thankyou for letting us stay in your amazing cottage

Fantastic cottage, very cosy,very peaceful location.

We really enjoyed our visit, the accommodation was great, and perfect for a quiet stay away from it all.

Very lovely comfortable cottage.

The owner provides very comprehensive information, contact details and masses of info about local walks and places to visit. It is in a remote area which was perfect for us, very quiet and peaceful. Big plus for the super new oven and well equipped kitchen, comfy beds and log fire. We loved our stay and would certainly return.

I have already messaged the owner.

Fabulous cottage in a stunning location.

We'd definitely stay there again

A superb cottage with many thoughtful touches.

The property is in a fantatstic location which is very remote from any villages.

Thus the views, the peace and quiet make for a very relaxing stay.

Great place to get away from it all.

Good views in quite location. Nice welcome pack on arrival. Note: no washing or drying facilities available during covid times. Otherwise well equipped cottage and would definitely go back.

Peace and quiet, warm and cosy.

Property was stunning, so comfortable and a pleasure to be in

The converted barn was exceptionally well appointed.

Clean , warm and very comfortable. A lovely quiet location with easy access to the dales and the lakes. We would most definitely stay there again. A very nice touch was the welcome bottle of wine and the various crackers and biscuits, present on our arrival. We would like to say a big thank you to all involved .

The cottage was in a lovely remote location, was clean and had all the amenities that we could ask for.

There’s a fantastic walk over the moor to Reeth with some lovely pubs. Thanks very much Val for our stay, the information you provided was throughout and informative and we couldn’t have asked for a better place! Would 10/10 stay again!

Fantastic cottage in a perfect location.

Padley barn is great place in a lovely remote setting and is fitted out to a very high standard. It was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Highly recommended.

Lovely and peaceful fantastic neighbours who invited me and my parents to their bbq,so so friendly, beautiful scenery

Lovely, well provisioned conversion in a quiet rural location.

Ideal for getting away from the rat race. Beautiful area and location steeped in history. Very friendly, helpful owner who provided lots of information on walks etc, plus left bird food so we could see the many birds who visit the garden and patio area. We hope to return to explore further

Lovely holiday home, beautiful setting.

Really well equipped, a real home from home feel about it. Would definitely recommend Padley Barn.

What a fabulous place, the cottage was excellent had everything you needed.

Warm, comfortable lounge with log burner, large kitchen fully equipped. We had the en-suite bedroom, the bed was so comfortable and had a lovely hot shower. Our daughter, son-In-law and Grandaughter’s also enjoyed their stay. It is situated in a lovely peaceful, spot overlooking the countryside. We enjoyed watching the birds on the feeder and watching the black grouse flying around the cottage. One sat on the top of our car the grandkids loved it!! We also had the pleasure of sitting outside with a cup of tea on New Years Day. Took some great photos of the sunset too. We would throughly recommend cottage. Thanks again Linda and Neil Corfield and The Hobbs Family.

A fantastic cottage that I have already booked again for next year.

Great communications from the owner as well.

A very good welcome pack - and the amount and quality of the equipment was exceptional.

It is set in a beautiful part of the Dales with wonderful views -quiet and restful, but be prepared to travel 6 miles to the nearest village and pub -at Grinton. The building itself is a very well done barn conversion, and is comfortable and roomy.

Excellent well-equipped accommodation containing everything we could possibly have wanted.

The owner was very welcoming and made us feel very at home. The cottage is in a beautiful remote location but within easy reach of lots of lovely places. Highly recommended!

Amazing place to stay.

Very clean and well maintained and the location was amazing. After our first night there, we booked again for next year as it was incredible!!

Absolutely lovely cottage & area, owner so helpful & friendly too.

Cottage has everything you could need & was really comfortable, we would love to stay again. 5*

Was a great cottage but a little too isolated unless you were a walker.

Would still recommend it to anyone wanting peace and tranquility.

A lovely cosy barn conversion- very comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen.

Highly recommended.

The cottage is lovely and in an amazing location so many walks and valleys to discover.

. the barn is full of everything you could possibly need and well organised. We had a lovely time and didn't want to leave. A great escape.

Padley Barn is beautiful.

I have had a lovely break there and only wish I'd had the time for a longer stay. I know such an isolated hamlet would not be everyone's cup of tea, but for me it was perfect.
