The converted barn was decorated with beautiful taste, modern yet homely. It was spotless on arrival. Claire welcomed our group and for our entire stay was attentive and on hand, without being intrusive of our holiday. The hot tub had been warmed for our arrival, complimentary toiletries, a freshly baked loaf of bread and a bottle of prosecco were waiting for us, it’s the small touches that make your time so much better. We could not recommend Rowan Bank anymore (and have already discussed a return visit ourselves). Thank you so much for an amazing couple of days.

- Miss Bingley, November 2019
“Rowan Bank was an absolute gem in a fantastic location.”

The area is just stunning with an array of things to see and do, especially is you like walking. The Barn was both comfortable, modern, spotlessly clean and had everything you would ever need even down to complimentary toiletries and many extra little touches. The owners, Claire and Steve were both helpful and welcoming and on hand should you need anything at all, without being intrusive. The hot tub was an absolute delight after a long day exploring The Dales. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Rowan Bank/Jacobs Wood to other potential guests. All in all, a superb break all round.

- Mr Marlin, October 2019
“Another absolutely incredible break at Rowan Bank.”

Claire and Steve cannot do enough for you and the barn itself has absolutely everything you could need. The walks round the waterfall are fantastic and access is very easy from the barn. Thankyou again for another fantastic time, See you again next year!

- Mr Hughes, September 2019
“They seemed to have thought of everything.”

These little touches made our holiday. We were welcomed with Home made bread. Butter was in the fridge. It was rude not to try some. Delicious. Loved the hot tub. Sitting there enjoying the amazing views & later we had the stars. Beds were super comfy & we slept well. We loved the log fire. Very romantic. Friends joined us for a couple of days. The spare room was made up for them. We will all be back in the spring. We went to de stress & unwind. Here we did. Thank you claire & Steve.

- Mrs Tuttle, August 2019
“Had a fantastic week - the cottage was beyond expectations and the wood burning hot tub a little daunting to begin with but super easy to master.”

The little extras were above and beyond and very welcome after our drive there! Looking to rebook very shortly it was so lovely and peaceful - many thanks.

- Mrs Halls, August 2019

The view all around is excellent, as are the little walks around the farm! The barn is beautiful, kitted out with everything you expect and more - and all at a very high standard!! The hot tub was fab for helping unwind!! I really can't recommend this place enough, we will definatley be back!! Thank you Claire and Steve

- Mrs Brough, August 2019

Very good facilities. Loved the extra touches when we arrived such as home made bread, biscuits, Prosecco. Very friendly owner met us on arrival and explained how to use hot tub.

- Mr Purvis, August 2019
“Beautifully presented property with attention to detail.”

Great hosts and lots of recommendations provided for the local area. Fabulous views and lots of wildlife on the doorstep. Loved the wood fired hot tub especially in late evenings.

- Mrs Omara, July 2019
“Brilliant location, very peaceful and the owners are very helpful.”

However I think the directions to the property need to be amplified a little.

- Mrs Howe, July 2019
“Met by Claire on arrival, who showed us around the immaculate Rowan Cottage, as promised by Steve , the day before , the hot tub had been fired up and ready for use a joy.”

Scenic views from the cottage windows and hot tub area always something new to see and wonder, vast array of wildlife , hares, owls etc only our hosts love of the place and it's flora and fauna was greater. The homebaked bread still warm on arrival a great touch, information folder full of walks in area and other things to see and do very helpful, but , not as helpful as our hosts personal touch.

- Rawlinson, June 2019
“Rowan Bank is an amazing get away for anyone looking for luxury accommodation in a peaceful, natural setting.”

Gorgeous walks direct from the front door, wildlife all around and numerous days out well within an hour - a week is just not enough! Claire and Steve have created something quite special in a beautiful natural area.

- Mrs Goldsworthy, June 2019
“Claire and Steve were exceptional hosts and made us feel really so welcome and at home.”

The beautiful accommodation was spotless and the views amazing. There were also lovely little touches that made all the difference, from essential food goodies (including warm bread) upon arrival, to binoculars to watch the spectacular wildlife. The location is excellent for exploring the local area and there are lovely walks right on your doorstep as well, including a path adjacent to the cottage which leads you to three waterfalls. Our highlight was enjoying the evening sunset, whilst sat in the hot tub watching the resident barn owl. A trip we would definitely like to repeat and would highly recommend! Thank you both so much for making this break so special..

- Mrs Thomson, May 2019
“We rented the cottage last year and had a fantastic time ,this year was even better if you like wild life this is a must,there were pheasants walking along the path ,they even came into the porch to have a nosy .”

The owners erected a couple of owl boxes and to our delight we managed to get photographs of the Barn owls and an other owl/ The owners are terrific nothing is too much trouble .The cottage was immaculate and the weather we had was great and only a little drop of rain.The rain didnt bother us at all there was still plenty of things to keep us busy, like sitting in the hot tub with a glass of wine and watching the owls flying over the woods. We would highly recommend both the owners propertys as there is lots to see and do,This holiday was excellent and very relaxing. We will be back for sure,everything we wanted in a holiday with great hosts

- Mr Banfield, April 2019
“A beautiful cottage set on the hillside with lovely panoramic views.”

The location is very peaceful, with a waterfall walk from the door. but also is within easy distance of the Dales. Our highlight was sitting in the hot tub watching the sun set over the Pennines after a day spent walking. A lovely relaxing break.

- Mrs Wilkins, March 2019
“Rowan cottage Jacob's wood is fantastic, what a lovely cottage, I can't recommend the cottage highly enough!”

! Claire and Steve have thought of everything you need to enjoy a comfortable stay, and added little touches which make it really welcoming. The views are AMAZING, it's so peaceful and quiet where all you can hear is stillness and the odd owl!! The lovely bird feeder out the window attracts so many beautiful small birds which was so lovely to watch. I would certainly recommend this cottage and looking forward to returning. Booking through Sykes cottages was really easy and straightforward. Thank you!

- Miss Furness, February 2019
“Gorgeous modern apartment with everything you needed and more!”

Superb hosts, will definitely be back again :)

- Miss Hughes, February 2019
“A converted cow shed is not high on everyone's list but it should be!”

Rowan Bank is even better than the photographs. Everything is high spec, spotlessly clean and attention to detail all thought through. The views are astounding, with walks from the door, total privacy and peace and quiet to enjoy those views and the very special hot tub. We were extra lucky as it had snowed, so everywhere looked like a winter wonderland yet all roads were clear. Claire and Steven, the owners, we're really welcoming, providing a welcome pack of goodies and heating the wood fired hot tub so it was ready when we arrived, and when we got back from a day out. We mentioned in passing a non-slip mat would be good in the gorgeous shower, a few hours later they delivered a new mat to us. Everything you need in the kitchen is there, the beds are very comfy and the wooden shutters completely shut out the light. And there's Netflix too! We had the most perfect weekend and it was very hard to leave.

- Mrs Measures, February 2019
“My boyfriend and I stayed here for 5 nights in January.”

This holiday was perfect from start to finish! The hosts were great, very attentive and on hand ready to answer any questions about local amenities. Also very good at keeping the wood stocked up for the amazing hot tub and log burner! The accommodation itself was spotless, very modern and had everything you could need! I would highly recommend to anyone and will definitely be going back!! Kindest Regards, Courtney and Ethan The accommodation itself

- Miss Nancollas, January 2019
“Rowan Bank is an amazing property, where all the facilities are to of a high standard and cleanliness.”

The hosts were very welcoming and accommodating, and very good at those little touches that make the holiday more special. The surrounding area is fantastic for walking, experiencing the nature (birds, sheep, hares, wood peckers, pheasants etc) and just realxing in a peaceful environment. Thanks again for a very relaxing and memorable holiday.

- Mrs Elsdon-hunt, December 2018
“Rowan Bank and its owners, Claire and Steve, absolutely exceeded our expectations.”

The photographs are very accurate but Rowan Bank feels even more beautiful and stylish when you're there. Claire greeted us and as we were arriving a little late due to work, Claire had already started the fire for the hot tub so that it was ready for us to use when we got there. We were then greeted by prosecco, Yorkshire crisps, and homemade bread! The style of the cottage is absolute beautiful and has been finished to such a high standard. The beds are extremely comfortable and the place has everything you could need - hairdryer, towels, iron, wood, butter, milk, hangers, all of the plates and utensils you could need, and more! After utilising the fire and hot tub, which Claire advised us on, Claire then delivered more wood to us the next morning. One night we struggled to get the hot tub warm and after sending Claire a text, her and Steve popped over and got it going for us! They were so helpful and we were so impressed with the service, cottage, and location as a whole package. The views are incredible, even on a rainy day. There is also Netflix on the television which is a great addition whilst sitting around the fire. We wouldn't hesitate to come back and I'm not at all surprised to see that all of the reviews have been so good.

- Miss Shaikh, November 2018
“Host was lovely, helped us when we needed.”

Lovely place with beautiful views. Everything had been thought of in the property. Will definitely book again!

- Miss Rani, November 2018
“Rowan barn Our Favourite Holiday Ever, Spectacular scenery and wildlife, a good pair of Binoculars are a MUST if you want to be able to view and observe all of natures wonders surrounding you.”

Absolutely wonderful holiday, the cottage was spotless and well equipped. The owners are, friendly and welcoming, nothing is too much trouble. The scenery is breath taking. The night time views are spectacular as the surrounding towns lights shine through the trees like Christmas lights twinkling in the dark. It’s very rural feeling without being remote, you wouldn’t believe that just a short drive away, you come to the nearest supermarket and a little further is the Town of Silsden, with a post office a grocery store and a lovely little bridge over Silsden Beck, where you can stop and feed the ducks. The owners have compiled their own folder of nature walks and trails some leading to the 3 magnificent waterfalls, which are picture framed in the cottages. The surrounding area is buzzing with life. Tweeting birds and a whole host of wild birds from partridges and pheasants just to name a few. Not forgetting the wild animals. There are some sheep who like to come for a visit and If you are lucky you can catch a glimpse of the stag. There are plenty of other animals and rodents hiding in the long grass for you to find. We have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our holiday and can’t wait to return next year. We just had to book the cottage again. We can’t praise and thank the owners enough, they have been fantastic, they even got this cottage ready for us so we could extend our stay. Looking forward to coming back. We Highly recommend Rowan Barn and the adjoining Ash Barn Cottage. We give them both, 10 out of 10 and we give the owners 10 out of 10 for their warm welcome and their attention to detail and their willingness to make sure you enjoy your stay Mr and Mrs Macdonald,

About the location

SILSDEN

Bolton Abbey 8.5 miles; Ilkley 8.5 miles; Skipton 9 miles.

The pretty town of Silsden, set on the edge of the stunning Yorkshire Dales National Park, commands sweeping views of the River Aire and its valley, and has a thriving community with local amenities. Although Silsden was originally an agricultural town, the construction of the nearby Leeds and Liverpool Canal meant that it later became an important centre for the mill industry, however the local economy is now largely supported by tourism, and it has become a perfect place to stay and explore the local area. Down the Aire Valley lies historic Skipton, known as “The Gateway to the Dales”, a quaint market town boasting an ancient castle open to the public, a beautiful old parish church and a colourful market occupying the cobbled setts each side of the high street. In 2008, the Academy of Urbanism voted the high street as the best shopping spot in Britain. In the next valley lies Addingham, a thriving, small community with several good pubs serving fine ale and excellent food, a scattering of small shops and a delightful golf course surrounded by breathtaking countryside. Nearby Bolton Abbey is one of the region's most scenic areas and the walk along the river to the Strid is a must. The Victorian Spa town of Ilkley is also worth a visit, with its wide streets, world-famous Box Tree Restaurant and Bettys Tea Rooms, while Ilkley Moor is the subject of Yorkshire's unofficial anthem “On Ilkla Moor Baht at”. With steam railways offering regular excursions through stunning scenery, canal day trips, castles and pretty market towns all available nearby, Silsden is a wonderful base for touring the Bronte Country and North and West Yorkshire.
