Cunliffe Barn

Perfect setting for a quiet peaceful break.

Everything about the house was first class there was everything you needed to enjoy the seclusion and an added bonus was a short stroll to the Woolpack pub. Perfect.

Beautiful barn, lovely outlook.

Clean and peaceful. A few minor issues, kitchen floor needs repairing, could do with upgrade on mattresses . Apart from this highly recommend :). Been here twice and would certainly go back.

Beautiful dog friendly cottage in a lovely location.

Beautiful location, with ample outdoor space and great views!

The location was secure, quiet and pleasant. The barn itself was nice overall, it needs a bit of tlc in areas, the carpets are very dirty with stains as are the curtains downstairs, there is a mouldy bath mat in the tub and the washing machine had mould too, I’m guessing from the door being left closed. Other than that, the barn has everything you could need, is well equipped, spacious, comfortable and well presented. The biggest downside for us was the WiFi, whilst on the whole we were there to relax, switch off and make use of the picturesque setting from the hot tub, for the duration of the stay couldn’t use the WiFi as the signal was too weak. It meant that we actually had to leave a day early as I had a work call I was planning to do whilst at the barn but I couldn’t connect to even access my email let alone log onto a video call. If I could give 3.5 stars I would but I feel for these reasons it was short of 4.

We had a lovely stay in Cunliffe barn.

The accomadation had everything you could have needed and the beds were lovely fresh and comfy.Nice and relaxing and the barn was very spacious it was so nice even Fred our dog was reluctant to leave.Already recommended to friends and we will definitely be returning. Thankyou

We had a wonderful time here and will definitely be back!

There were 3 of us, 2 adults and a 4-year-old. Hot tub was the perfect way to unwind and we really enjoyed the space, the comfy beds, the bath and shower, and how well laid out the whole place was. A couple of things need updating/replacing - we could not get the dishwasher to work properly at all. It just ejected the tablet into the cutlery part and didn’t wash properly which was a little frustrating. It would be great to have foolproof instructions so we know we are doing the right things. The WiFi is slow, so don’t go expecting to be able to stream anything (really good for unplugging and putting the internet down!). The kitchen could do with some salt, though honestly I always forget salt! Finally, the clothes rack is completely broken and needs replacing, one of the poles has clean broken in two. None of this massively made the break bad and we genuinely were very sad to leave. My 4-year-old has asked when we are coming back! The treats, bread, Prosecco, and bacon were very well received. Thank you for a truly wonderful break!

We had a really lovely, relaxing week here with our cat and would happily return.

The property is spacious, peaceful and in a great location with easy access to local amenities. We especially enjoyed visiting a nearby butchers for some great quality, reasonably priced meat. The setting is perfect for unwinding – we loved seeing the horses in the field opposite, along with bunnies and other wildlife during our stay. Inside, the bedrooms are very spacious with plenty of storage, and the layout works really well. The upstairs bathroom has a great powerful shower, and the additional downstairs toilet is a useful extra. It was also nice having both a main living area with a TV and a separate cosy sitting room. The hot tub was a great addition and we made good use of it throughout the week. A couple of small improvements could make the stay even better – the kitchen could benefit from a few more utensils, and while everything was comfortable overall, the beds may not suit everyone’s preference. Overall, a really enjoyable stay in a lovely setting, and we would definitely consider returning.

A lovely accommodation,the welcome pack was a lovely thought.

Very nice location,and will stay again in the warmer months.

Our 4th time at this delightful barn and just as good as the others.

Actually probably better! Absolutely loved the Christmas tree and decorations on the 1st day of December. What a lovely touch! My only request would be to provide some microwaveable dishes and plastic glasses for use when in the hot tub. Other than that -x it’s perfect!

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 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Great property in lovely peaceful surroundings.

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.

What a beautiful house!

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.

Cunliffe Barn is an incredibly welcoming and relaxing space in a beautiful location.

We had the perfect couple of days (we were working locally, so this was a nice retreat each evening) and the cottage was very well equipped. The welcome goodies were also most welcome. Thank you, we will be back!

Wonderful holiday.

Would highly recommend to anyone

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.

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

Fantastic property in a beautiful location.

Fully recommend it and certainly on our list for a return visit.

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.

We came for week November 21st Beautiful clean cottage very welcoming &lvly welcome pack definitely be back again & have recommended this cottage to lots of friends Thank you

Such a lovely property in a lovely area.

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 is one of the nicest holiday cottages we have stopped in, beautiful property,village is lovely with a great local pub ( the original woolpack ) hot tub and log fire are fab, we will definitely be returning in the future.

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*!
