  • "A lovely stay in a beautiful location The barn is very spacious with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and furnishings."

    Very quick response when there was a maintenance issue with a faulty shower head which was replaced the same day as I reported it. Thank you! Travelling with a toddler it would have been helpful to have the option of stairgates with the downstairs all being open plan and a non-slip mat in the bath would also be helpful

    Its our 2nd time here and we love this place, perfect location, lovely little village and a 5 minute walk to the original emerdale woolpack, loads of places to go especially for the dogs, the only reason why I gave it a 4 star instead of 5 is that there's not enough utensils in the kitchen ie measuring bowls, Colander, big ovan dish, big sharp knives ( 1 big knife still there off last year snapped in half), other than that its perfect and the best welcome pack we've had at sykes cottages

  • "Just home from a wonderful relaxing break."

    Cuncliffe Barn is a cut above the rest, stunning location, all home comforts and luxurious finishing touches. The hot tub and bbq table were firm favourites! As Emmerdale fans, having The Woolpack a stones throw away was an added bonus! (Food there recommended too ☺️) Great communication with the owners too. We enjoyed it so much we have booked the larger house to come back in December! Highly recommended ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

  • "We have stayed here many times."

    Its position is brilliant. Secluded, quiet, picturesque yet within easy distance to several villages towns and their amenities and having the famous Woolpack in the village is a bonus! The Barn itself is well equipped and very comfortable. The hottub is so relaxing and private. The only negative we noticed was the bathroom is getting very ‘tired’ and was very disappointed to see black mould in the corners of the bath. Please sort this out as it did put us off a bit.

    Very private in a really lovely village with nice walks around. Perfect enclosed area for the dog to run around in. Would definitely recommend and hope to be booking again with the house behind to bring the family :)

  • "This is our 2nd visit here, we will be back again."

    The barn is beautiful and very well equipped. The welcome basket is a really nice touch. I would ask that some dishwasher instructions are left as I managed to work it once only!! So could you leave a washing up bowl for idiots like me please. Also a colander would be useful. Have recommended this to friends and family who are currently looking at dates.

  • "Excellent property, with high standard facilities in a very quiet location, but not far to access shops, town centres and local area."

    Short walk to village pub which served really good food. The owners provided a really extensive welcome pack which was much appreciated and used, many thanks. Made great use of hot tub. Parked in Guiseley for free and took train into Leeds city centre which is only 15 minutes by train, so hassle free. Brilliant stay helped by the warm dry weather. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

    Thanks Jane, your feedback is very much appreciated. The Woolpack is a lovely spot with interesting history. We hope to see you again soon! :) Property Owner

  • "Really stunning and contemporary cottage, and lively to stay at, from the welcome pack to the wool pack!"

    !! Modern yet still had style/taste and plenty of room. Only 3 critiques in the spirit of improvement 1) needs better WiFi 2) bathroom could have a better shower 3) garden isn’t really enclosed (fix the gate and it’ll be a bit better but not ‘dog proof’ Overall still would highly recommend and would return in a heartbeat

    Thanks for your feedback Justin, much appreciated. We are on the fastest wifi network we can get in our area but we are on the lookout for any new, faster providers to improve this. We have overhauled the gate and made it dog proof and lockable :) We do hope to see you again soon! Property Owner

  • "Fabulous accommodation, everything you could want and more!"

    Greeted by a lovely welcome selection of nibbles & treats. Even a bottle of Prosecco, milk, eggs, crisps, biscuits along with tea/coffee & fresh bread. Logs and kindle ready to light the fire. We even managed to have a little BBQ on the table outside, worked perfectly. Location was superb, not over looked, yet cozy & warm, it’s got a rural feel about the place but you’re 5 mins from civilisation. Really loved our stay and would like to return! Wholeheartedly recommend this fabulous little gem of a cottage. Clearly, someone knows what they’re doing. Keep the amazing work up we appreciated all the little bits & bobs.

    Everything at Cunliffe Barn is so welcoming and clean, towels and bedding were lovely and the hot tub was so relaxing and easy to use. What a lovely relaxing stay we had for a week. A gem of a place just to get away from it all. Thanks Hayley for putting the lovely tree up for our arrival. 10/10.

  • "This place is an absolute gem!"

    Set in a quiet area within reach of a beautiful village, the barn has both a feel of a combination of an old style cottage but with a modern design. The interior is beautifully designed and is very spacious, which includes a snug area with a wood burner. The kitchen is modern and has everything you will need for preparing meals. On arrival, we found a gift basket that had numerous items (bread, bacon, butter, crisps, Prosecco, milk, eggs and Popcorn) which was a lovely touch. We only had one issue, which was we utilised the gift basket for our bread products only to find that we had had an overnight visitor which opened and pinched alot of the bread products, this wasn't a big deal for us as you are in the middle of fields so you expect that sort of thing. We did let the owners know but only for information. Luckily the weather was kind to us so we utilised the outdoor space and hot tub every day overlooking the beautiful views. Esholt itself is a loveley village, and we visited the Woolpack for evening meal which we enjoyed and is within walking distance. Cunliffe Barn was used as a base to explore the Yorkshire countryside. We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable stay in a very quiet spot of Yorkshire!

  • "It was a beautiful cottage well located with great amenities in the cottage, especially with the hot tub was an added bonus."

    We had lovely weather which meant we went on lovely long walks with the dogs, having the river and ship canal close lead to nice walks. You have great access to Leeds and surrounding towns from the village. Only a couple of down sides for us were: We had two dogs and there was no where secure at the property for them to go out so had to take them out on lead for toilet etc The beds although comfortable were very soft which my partner and I found different and movement impacted sleep as when one moved so did the other.

  • "What you read about this place on the website is true!"

    Really comfortable, warm and extremely spacious! I'd return in a heartbeat. Comfy pillows and mattress, amazing log burner and lots of peace and quiet! There was a slight technical issue with the hot tub during my stay, but the owner was right on it and the repair was made early the next morning. Brilliant! The only minor thing I'd point out is that there were no cloths to wipe down work surfaces in the kitchen, dishwasher tablets or sponges with which to wash non-dishwasher items. But in the scheme of things when the welcome hamper was so well-stocked, just something small to pack for my next stay! Definitely 5*!

The property

Shipley 2.8 miles.

Cunliffe Barn is a picturesque barn conversion located in the West Yorkshire village of Esholt near Shipley.

The property combines a stylish contemporary interior with a homely feel, and it’s perfect for couples wishing to take in Esholt and the nearby countryside.

Staying at Cunliffe Barn really will provide guests with the feeling that they are in a home away from home, and its two sitting rooms really emphasise this.

Both contain comfortable seating, but they differ in what else is on offer.

The first features a beautiful woodburning stove, an ideal spot during the winter months, while the second, which forms part of the open-plan living area, features a Smart TV and also a radio, which helps to bring you and your loved ones closer together.

Situated behind is the stylish kitchen/diner, complete with a breakfast bar.

The final room on the ground floor is the utility room.

Upstairs are the property’s two double bedrooms, both of which provide views overlooking the garden—a nice way to start your day.

Also located on the first floor is the bathroom.

Relaxation continues to be the main theme as you open up the doors to the garden, as located at the end of it is the hot tub.

So after a nice meal, why not take the party outside and maybe indulge in a glass of bubbly?

There’s also a patio area with a table and chairs should you fancy an alternative to dining at the breakfast bar.

Located just a short walk from Cunliffe Barn is The Woolpack pub, which guests may know from the hit television series Emmerdale.

Despite its fame, the pub is open to the public and offers a good range of food and drinks, so whether you’re a fan of the show or not, it’s still well worth visiting.

There are plenty of other activities in and around the area, with golfers recommended to take in a round at the nearby Bradford Park Golf Club, while fans of the countryside should visit the Yorkshire Dales National Park, located just 16 miles away.

Meanwhile, the city of Leeds offers great shops, restaurants, and nightlife and is only 12 miles away.

Cunliffe Barn—your perfect rural retreat near the stunning Yorkshire Dales National Park.
