"We had a lovely stay at Hay Barn Holiday Cottage and really enjoyed the peaceful location and beautiful surroundings. The accommodation was comfortable, clean, and well situated for exploring the area, and parking was easy and convenient.The only reason for 4 stars rather than 5 was that the communication felt minimal during the stay, as we only received the key details before arrival. We also felt the online listing could have been a little clearer regarding how close the accommodation is to the owners’ property. In addition, we missed some of the small welcoming touches we’ve experienced at other holiday cottages, such as milk and eggs on arrival, particularly considering the price point.Overall though, we had a relaxing stay and would still recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet countryside break."

"Cottage was perfect for our break in the peaks. Clean throughout, everything we needed in the kitchen. Very cosy lounge with very comfy sofa and chair. Heating set to perfection.Lovely hot shower and huge bathroom. Peace and quiet. Walks straight from the door. Pollys Cottage across the road for ice cream and pasties. Loved listening to the birds and river from our bedroom which had a comfy bed and soft linen. Host replied quickly on booking and sent information about stay through with instructions. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable long weekend in a beautiful location."

"The kitchen was well equipped, we could have done with a couple of water jugs, but apart from that we had everything we needed. Great to have off street parking for all the cars. The property was clean and well presented "

"The entire holiday experience was perfect from beginning to end. Our host, Ray, was lovely. There to meet us when we arrived and gave us a quick tour. Hardly saw him for the rest of our weekend, but was sure he was available should anything go wrong, or need attention. The cottage was cozy and warm and incredibly clean without being in any way clinical. In fact the place was so warm, we turned the heating off and just used the wood burning stove, which was easy to light, and provided more than enough heat. The pool was astonishing! Completely private, warm and, it seemed, bigger than it looked in the photos. There is also a hot tub spa next to the pool and we spent a lot of time in there too. I really can't rate this place highly enough."

"The bungalow is a little tired but it was very clean, comfortable and spacious for 6 of us. The beds were very comfortable. The scenery 100% made up for everything. Breathtaking. It has its own garden but not secure so if you have little furry escape artist be aware. Would definitely recommend. "

"Could just cope for one night. It’s extremely dated, the heating was an old electric heater and didn’t really heat the room well, I was freezing and had to put layers on for bed because the duvet was very thin too. The room must have had a dog in previously, I had a really bad allergy reaction my eyes and nose were streaming and when I put my leggings on I had dog hairs all over them. The bathroom was nice but had a huge stain in the sink and some of the pipe boxing was falling off. The food wasn’t nice and very overpriced, I had a pie that had a very thin, greasy suet lid and the dish underneath was practically thin gravy with barely any meat at a very steep price of £19. I didn’t bother with breakfast however the continental was very well prepared with lots of options and catered well for my dairy free family members."

"Lovely home in a quiet corner, the Thorpe cloud hills and stepping stones as close by. A great base for activities. The hostess was great, apologising for the poor mobile coverage. She stays closeby and offered to help in case of anything. It was hassle-free stay as the house was prepared with all we needed."

"Excellent location and value for money. Really pleasant reception/staff in general. Great for kids "

"The property was comfortable and in very good decorative order. However, we were surprised to find numerous dead flies on the majority of window sills (inside) and on the carpets.There were a number of things missing from a standard inventory. For example oven gloves, salt & pepper, only 2 partially used toilet rolls, an inadequate hoover, no broom, no hair dryer and a bizarre/insufficient supply of cooking knives. It appeared that the place had not been rented for a time or not recently prepared for guests, even though the place was clean and the bedding and towels were fine.Given it was a Christmas rental, it would have been nice to have had a welcome pack and some small decorations (eg a small tree). Finally, we were unable to contact the rental office during our stay and subsequently they confirmed that the office was office was not manned over Christmas."
