    The first night there we booked again for next year. Barnbrook is so comfortable and cosy. The kitchen is amazing, and well equipped. Thank you.

    Great location with lots of walks nearby and calling curlews all around! We picked a great week weather wise for walking as it was cloudy with some sunny spells. We loved all the pictures around the house and the kitchen diner was very well equipped and a nice relaxing/eating space. It was a very comfortable cottage and near to some great restaurants too. We will definitely return. The only thing that let it down slightly was the shower which was a bit feeble and the reason we have given it 4 stars rather than 5.

    Thanks for a lovely positive review. Property Owner

  • "The cleanliness was okay however the bathroom light fitting was covered in dust."

    No idea how but one morning despite the window being shut and door the bathroom had 6 flies in. We did notice quite a few flies but put it down to the fact all windows were open on arrival. However after killing all the ones we found and shutting all windows they were still getting in. Very well equipped and also they left cleaning products so we could give it a good clean before we left. We liked the fact it had a washer and dryer although we did not use it is handy to go home with clean clothes. Parking we found was difficult as there was a very large vehicle and it made it difficult to manoeuvre our car. By the end of the week it was parked at the entrance drive so at least gave us more room. Heating is quite slow with storage heaters. Never come across them before and found that you had to leave them on 24/7 and even then I could sit my hand on the top despite it being on full. Over pleasant stay and would recommend. I would also like to thank the owners for their instruction booklet as I had never used an induction hob before.

    I'm sorry about the problem with flies, which is not normal. Maybe something was happening at one of the local farms, but I hope it didn't spoil your stay. We use storage heaters because we don't have space for an oil reservoir. The idea is that they give a uniform level of background heat, which can then be supplemented if necessary by the other heaters in the cottage. I'm glad you liked the facilities and the instruction book was useful. We always try to leave plenty of information about the cottage and the locality, so that guests have some pointers to walks and places that might interest them. Property Owner

  • "Barnbrook is a gem of a cottage."

    It is part of a small group of barn conversions, whose configuration allows privacy and spacious accommodation. Both the good-sized living room and the large dining kitchen are comfortable and well-equipped; the utility room is useful and there is clothes-hanging space in the little garden. The downstairs loo is invaluable. Upstairs there are two large bedrooms with a very comfy double bed and plenty of wardrobe hanging space. The bathroom has a small cabinet to keep razors and toothbrushes away from the washbasin, and there is a screened and adjustable-headed shower over the bath. Outside is ample parking for two cars, and down a few steps is a sweet little garden with table and chairs. At the end of the drive is Carperby, with a great pub (the Wheatsheaf) and easy walks to Aysgarth Falls and Bolton Castle, or through the woods to Woodhall and back over the moor. A memorable feature of Barnbrook is that everything is so spotlessly clean, and the huge store of dvds, games and guidebooks shows that the owner is determined to go the extra mile. This is our second visit, and we very much look forward to a third!

    Every little detail was thought about, including all utensils, hand soaps, toilet rolls, kitchen rolls and washing up items. So many walks straight from the doorstep, which is exactly what we were looking for - fresh air, scenery, and time away from the everyday routine. Also a fantastic children's playground just down the road. Just a few minor things that perhaps could improve the stay: 1. The 'Barnbrook' sign outside the cottage isn't very clear so we didn't realise (after initially getting a little lost) that we were parked right outside it. 2. The cottage is very child friendly and spacious for a toddler who has just learned to walk and has a highchair and travel cot too - perhaps one improvement could be to include a stairgate so those with babies / toddlers have the option of using it and those who don't can just leave the stairgate open. 3. The floorboards upstairs are very creaky - maybe this could be looked at and fixed. 4. One of the beds in the double room is in a bit of an awkward position as the person sleeping it was constantly banging their head off the ceiling - maybe the positioning of the furniture could be changed in that room. It was been an absolutely lovely break and we would love to book again as there is so much more we are yet to explore! Thank you for an enjoyable stay.

  • "We stayed for two weeks in this lovely cottage, and found it to be beautifuly clean, very spacious and welcoming, and had absolutely everything one could possibly want or need for a very comfortable stay."

    Having said that, the only drawback (for me personally) was the memory foam mattress on the double bed, which unfortunately holds the body heat to the extreme, making for a very uncomfortable nights' sleep, so mostly had to sleep in the single bed. The other point which kind of annoyed me was that upon enquiring from the caretaker, who conveniently lives next door, if she'd be coming in to change the bedding for the 2nd week, I was told where to find the clean linen and that I had to do it myself. We stay for 2 weeks every year in various Dales cottages, and is the first time that I've encountered this...When you consider that payment for the 2nd weeks' stay in the cottage is EXACTLY the same as for the 1st, I'd have thought, and naturaly assumed, that the cleaning service for the 2nd week would be a 'given'. Apart from those couple of things, we had a lovely holiday staying in this particular cottage. The location is perfect, with lots of walks from the door to be had, including a lovely varied walk to Bolton Castle, plus the convenience of The Wheatsheaf pub, serving vey nice meals, literally just over the road. We'd be more than happy to consider staying again, if a 2nd choice was needed, as it's certainly a gem of a cottage, apart from those two niggles...however, they are personal to us and may not concern anyone else, so with this in mind, we can highly recommend Barnbrook Cottage as an ideal base from which to have a very enjoyable holiday.

The property

Located in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, in the village of Carperby, is this traditional semi- detached stone cottage, complete with sloping ceilings and with views out to Penhill, it is a picture perfect property.

Ideally suited for a small family or couples walking break, this cottage is decorated throughout in classic country style with floral wallpaper and wooden furniture, it has an immediate homely feel.

Featuring an electric fire, the sitting room is the best place to get warmed up on those chilly winter evenings, so you can snuggle up on the plush red sofas and talk over the day's events, or maybe watch a film on the TV before going to bed.

Venturing into the open-plan kitchen and dining room, you can make use of the modern appliances like the stylish electric oven and induction hob, amidst the quaint cream painted kitchen units, with a lovely solid wood dining table and chairs in the corner.

Moving upstairs, there are two bedrooms, a double and a twin, both charmingly decorated with bright airy colours and floral wallpaper for the ultimate cottage feel, along with a stunning vintage bathroom suite in excellent condition with attractive pink and blue tiling.

To the outside there is a small garden and patio area with some pretty seating, for those summer evenings when its warm enough to sit out with a glass of wine, or maybe a local ale you've picked up along the way.

The village itself is at the heart of the walker's paradise of Upper Wenslydale, and offers a pub serving food, a village green and a children's playground so you don't need to go far for the essentials.

If it's your first time visiting the Yorkshire Dales why not join one of the many guided walks going on all over the area, to ensure you see the best sights there are to see, or drive just under 30-minutes to Richmond Brewing Company to taste the ales from the dales with a guided tour of the brewery which was Richmond's former railway station.

With the Dales on your doorstep, Barnbrook is an ideal spot for a Yorkshire break at any time of year.

About the location

CARPERBY

Aysgarth 1.6 mile; Castle Bolton 3.2 miles; Leyburn 8.3 miles.

This idyllic Wensleydale village is situated in a walker’s paradise, close to Castle Bolton, Bolton Hall, Leyburn and the famous Aysgarth Falls. During the 17th century, Carperby was an important centre for Quakerism and the largest building today is the classically styled Friends Meeting House which overlooks the market cross and village green. The popular village pub serves good food and an excellent range of real ales and is the main focal point of village life. Nearby, Redmire is on the Wensleydale Railway, which features steam locomotives during the summer and has regular special events. This is an ideal location for walking and touring the many attractions of Wensleydale and Swaledale - nearby are the historic Richmond and Middleham, as well as the attractive market towns of Bedale and Leyburn. There are numerous restaurants and award-winning pubs too, and nearby attractions include Fountains Abbey, Wensleydale Creamery and Rope Factory and the thrilling Lightwater Valley. The nearest town, Leyburn, is dominated by its large market square, which still boasts a lively Friday market. The town has much to offer with its many craft shops, galleries and tea rooms. Also within easy reach are many other attractions, notably the Constable Burton Hall and Gardens with extensive parkland and woodland walks, the Forbidden Corner with its underground passages to explore, and of course the lovely Georgian town of Richmond with its fine castle ruins. Visit Bolton Castle, with its mighty towers and rectangular courtyard, one of the finest preserved medieval castles in Yorkshire. Dating back to 1378, much of the castle survived the orders to destroy famous Yorkshire castles, issued by Parliament in The Civil War. It is also located perfectly for cycling; the famous opening stages of the 2014 Tour de France passed just over a mile away. For the adventurous, mountain biking routes run from the door, over Preston moor and into wild Swaledale.

Please be aware this property only sleeps 4 for bookings made from 10/2/23.
