Just returned from a lovely week long stay at woods barn. We were blessed by fabulous weather on the most part and the location for getting around most of the dales was fab. We visited lots of places and had enjoyable days out. Couple of slight negatives - during our stay we had been informed that swallows/swifts were nesting in the windows of two of the bedrooms outside. Due to this, we were advised not to open windows. This wouldn’t have been a problem if fans had been provided but left us feeling rather uncomfortable during the heatwave. Lovely exposed beams in the bedrooms adding real character but the centre beam in the master bedroom seems to have a wood lice problem. I looked up one night and saw 5 on the ceiling - at first I thought they were moths until one fell onto my pillow. Really gave me the creeps and could see them crawling in and out most of the night. We made ample use of the washing machine provided with 2 kids in tow but would have loved somewhere outside to dry the clothes rather than have to use the dryer - this seemed counter productive and costly given the beautiful weather. Final con was the huge bush to the right of the back door. It’s beautiful but absolutely swarming with bees/flies. The tree is starting to overhang the steps up to the picnic bench and was irritating trying to eat outside as we were swarmed most of the time as was the cottage if the back door was left open for air. All being said it wouldn’t stop us from booking again - just a few minor tweaks in my opinion to make it perfect.

The location is stunning. It's an Ideal base to explore the surrounding countryside. The cottage is beautiful, really spacious and has everything you need to make it a comfortable stay. I booked a grocery delivery for our arrival and we fit most of our food in the decent sized fridge/freezer. It's perfect for hikers with a dog as it has a large enclosed garden. we travelled over to Hawes and Aysgarth falls which were within easy reach. The cottage is great value for money, a welcome pack included a bottle of wine which was a lovely surprise; we will definitely be booking it again.

The cottage is in a stunning location and was great for a bank holiday get away from the usual city hustle and bustle! The owners were amazing, we had a query about the freezer (its kept beeping when the door was open) they responded quickly and checked in again in the morning to make sure that it was no longer an issue. Everything we needed to use the fire and bbq was provided with an honesty box which meant we didn't have to worry about going out to find bits for it which we may have forgotten. Were excited to book again to go next year

Excellent cottage in a great location. furnished to a high standard. Warm and cozy

If you are after seclusion and relaxation this is the place for you. The real fire just adds to the comfort of the house, and on the third visit can honestly say it just feels like coming home. Booked again for next year on the first morning of this visit!

This is a great cottage and exactly what we were after. Great location for walks and easy access to towns/villages if needed.

This is a fantastic cottage ,that is comfortable and very well appointed.It had everything that we could have wanted and more. Loved or rather Betty loved the dog biscuits and we loved the welcome pack.Really impressed with the first aid kit which included things like Rennie and Parecetamol .

We know the area and did some lovely walks.The river walk was a lovely bonus to have on your doorstep .All in all a great week and would return.

Wonderful weekend with great walks from the doorstep

Beautiful barn in a stunning location. If you want total peace and quiet then this is the place. Lovely wood burner which is essential for that warm cosy feel. Surprisingly spacious bedrooms and bathroom and lovely decor throughout. Excellent location in the centre of the Dales to reach lots of places of interest but plenty of walks from the doorstep too. Would recommend and hope to return at some point.

Lovely stay at Woods barn, very well appointed and multi fuel fire is lovely and warm. Fantastically large bed to boot. Dales Way is on the doorstep. The river was in flood when we arrived - a fantastic experience to stand on the bridge with all the water rushing under us.

Stunning location for an away from it all relaxation holiday .Barn well equipped with everything you need.

Amazing cottage with fantastic facilities, the cottage had everything to make you feel at home. It was clean and well furnished.The kitchen was brilliantly equipped, wish it had been warmer to use the picnic basket set! Sky TV was great for the twins and the wood burner was great for us adults. The beds were really comfortable. The stair gate was also very useful with 2 2 year olds. The cottage is in an amazing location with beautiful scenery all around. We felt totally detached from the world once we returned from our daily trips. The cottage is in a great location to travel to various tourist resorts with out traveling for too long. The local farmer was lovely he let the twins sit on his tractor :)
