Prospect Barn

Lovely cottage and garden .

Took a little while to find as off the main road tucked away. Cottage was great and the bed was really comfortable . Garden is a good size and very secure for our dog who just loved playing with his ball while we sat out . Owners live beside the cottage and were very friendly whilst still giving us our privacy . 2 pubs in the village which are great and the area is not far from lots of small towns and areas to walk . A lovely long weekend was had .

Lovely property in great location close to pubs.

Comfortable large bed and bedroom with plenty of storage. TV with all channels available for a night in. Loved the access to the garden for our dog.

Excellent accommodation, lovely barn conversion, large lawned garden, outside sitting area with wonderful views, great walks and places to visit close by.

Great barn conversion with all the things to make your holiday comfy and relaxing.

Nice soft bed . bathroom good. Kitchen good with all the appliances you need. ( Maybe a Air Fryer) in the future but really very good.getting the car in and out a bit tricky sometimes. But overall a great stay and would go back again.

A delightful property in a lovely old village.

Well equipped, clean and everything worked. We even had an upgrade to a Smart TV whilst there. Lovely garden, great for sitting in on a sunny evening with a glass of wine. Nice big parking space. Derek our host was helpful and obliging.

West Witton is a great location for a holiday in Wensleydale.

The cottage is comfortable and we enjoyed our stay however it would benefit from some TLC hence only 4*. The comments about the heating are a recurring theme and it did not work during our visit - the weather was warm so not an issue for us. The sofa is mentioned in many reviews and also in the guest book - it needs replacing. We also had trouble finding the cottage - also a recurring comment. The TV is not a smart TV (another recurring comment) so you can't use iPlayer etc. however it does have a full SKY package so you can watch football, F1 etc live. The bathroom although functionable would benefit from a upgrade and a walk-in shower. The window in the bedroom would not shut properly.

This is a lovely cottage/conversion.

Very comfortable and well equipped for 2 people in a great location. Comfy bed and great shower. Use of garden with great views. Very nice hosts. Very friendly pub almost opposite serving a good selection of local ales and food. Would highly recommend cottage and would definitely stay again.

Impeccably clean and sparkling accommodation in a former barn/shed conversion.

Kitchen/dining area light and airy but the lounge and bedroom a bit dark (natural nature of this type of conversion). Generally very comfortable although settee probably needs replacing soon. Owner had problems with heating while we were there but provided us with electric radiators which were perfectly satisfactory for the time of year.

We had a good stay not as good as we hoped for, the central heating was not working but we got an electric heater.

De kitchen was super! But the furniture was for us oap (81) not so good. The first time we had no welcome pack. But the surrounding was exellent!

Great location, with lots of walks from the door.

The garden was excellent for the dog. We had an issue with the hot water, but it was sorted as soon as possible, and alternative accommodation was offered while it was being fixed. Although the location is obvious once you know where it is, what3words would have been helpful, as we spent about 30 minutes going up and down the main road and speaking to locals to find it. The description states a smart TV, but it is not, so there is no ability to link to your providers or cast.

An excellent property in a good location with a beautiful garden which was perfect for our large dog.

We had a lovely few nights here at the barn.

The garden was lovely and our dog loved watching the wildlife! The rooms were comfortable and there was plenty of space. Would have expected some basic cooking condiments such as salt/pepper/oil, as there was tea and coffee. We did bring milk with us (arrived BH so not a lot open), which was useful, we have often stayed in places that have left a small milk. We found the place a little hard to find on arrival as the directions pointed us from the opposite direction that we were travelling. There is a bus stop nearby, this could be used for navigational purposes. Overall a few nice days, helped with great weather, and close to local attractions and walking routes.

We loved staying in prospect barn ,sadly due to illness we had to cut short our stay by one day .

However had I been feeling well our stay would have been superb . The owner was friendly and very helpful and the barn beautiful . The sofa and chairs for some would be wonderful but for us ageing folks they were a too low and not easy to get out of . The views from the property were to die for and the whole village was a delight. Would recommend a stay here to anybody

Lovely spot to be in and the Barn was very nice and clean.

Great enclosed garden for our puppy. We think a great addition would be various board games/playing cards and books etc as there was nothing there. We went and bought a Scrabble game in Leyburn. Also the glass chopping board will blunt knives and there wasn't a sharp knife for prepping food. So good knives and wooden boards would be a good addition. Nice walks straight from the barn and two lovely pubs within walking distance was a bonus....oh and the village shop. Thank you Derek for allowing us to change our dates last minute.

Prospect barn was just what we were looking for.

We had a comfortable stay & the garden is lovely. The shower pressure was amazing & the bed very comfortable. Our location was good, being close to all good attractions.

What a great little find, we had a perfect week here and had no need to use the car at all with plenty of walks from the doorstep and plenty of places to eat out , with two excellent ones literally minutes away.

We have been to this area 5 times in the last 2 years to just enjoy the countryside and this really is a great place to stay.

Excellent location, fantastic views, very comfortable bed, settee needs attention though, not very OAP friendly, also be nice to have a few books, games and videos in the barn, normally with sykes there's these things available in the rental.

Very comfortable accommodation which we would have given 5 stars but for the accuracy of the listing.

It stated that there was a smart TV which isn't true. There is a normal TV with Sky Box attached so there were no catch-up options available and we weren't able to watch our subscription channels. The second inconsistency was the parking. The listing states that the shared drive is wide enough for two cars whereas it is only wide enough for two small cars. We spent the whole holiday with a car parked in front of us. This wasn't a problem as they left before us but if we had had an emergency in the night we couldn't have got our car out!

We found Prospect barn very comfortable & clean, the bed was extremely comfortable & we enjoyed morning coffee on the lawn looking at fabulous views, after visiting many places in the area we enjoyed evening meals at the Fox pub & the Wensleydale Heifer in the village, this is definitely a return cottage for us.

We absolutely loved our stay at prospect barn, lovely walking trails right from the front door.

The villagers were friendly and welcoming too. The garden was great even though you shared with the farmhouse our dog Jay enjoyed his time in it very much. We high recommend this property and will be back again I’m sure.

Amazing place to stay very clean and comfortable got all you need and in a great location to go off and explore will definitely recommend

We thought a stable door for the kitchen would be nice.

Bushes in the garden could be removed to appreciate the view. Nice wooden table needed in the lounge. Everything else is just fine

HLovely barn,spotlessly clean with everything you need to make the stay comfortable.

A bit hard to find at first but nicely secluded with good garden and lovely views.we would definitely recommend this property.

Lovely barn with views over the hills.

.everything you need gorgeous a comfortable stay..bed furniture all good condition and slept well..owner was helpful telling us good places to eat and visit the wheatsheaf at carperby was particularly nice..Thorpe yellow aboreatum good walk around and wendsleydale creamy on a wet day..would definitely recommend and return...

Wonderful place for a few days in Yorkshire - the accomodation had everything we needed.

It is very spacious, perfect for a couple and our dog D’Jango. The garden is a serene place to relax and watch wildlife & take in the beauty of the dales. D’Jango loved the garden rabbits! Very relaxing place in a great location for local attractions and wandering the many walks close by. I would recommend Prospect Barn.

The property was clean and extremely comfortable the owner could not do enough to ensure our comfort during our stay would really love to go back again

We found the directions to Prospect Barn a bit confusing but as West Witton is a small village we walked down the main street until we found it.

The accommodation was great with a well equipped kitchen and a lovely garden to sit out in. The hosts were very obliging and a small problem with the shower was swiftly dealt with. We had a drink at the Wensleydale Heifer in the village but found it to be very expensive as we had to pay £18 for a gin and tonic and a bottle of alcohol free beer! We enjoyed our holiday and would recommend Prospect Barn to others.

We had a Lovely 3 night stay, spotlessly clean, large rooms and well equipped.

Very large comfy bed too. Barn is in a great location, as we enjoy visiting Hawes and Leyburn and have wonderful dog walks from Buckden. (Shared Drive and Garden not to our liking, but no guests were staying in the larger property to the side of the barn so not an issue for us)
