We were really excited to stay here as the pictures looked great and we'd received excellent communication from the owner prior to arriving so knew what to expect. However, it was above and beyond our expectations. The little touches, details and finishes added character to the farm and it was warm, cosy and homely. We cooked inside both nights (March weather!) And loved being in the hot tub as it was snowing! The heat was on often meaning the property was a lovely temperature after a long walk. The nearby views here are stunning and the real fire was a special treat. Plus the beds were super comfy. My friend whose 30th birthday we were celebrating had the best time (as did the other 9!) And we said we'd have to return one time in the summer!

Excellent Stay & Place - location is great & lovely owners next door

Mr Ricketts

We stayed for 3 nights as a group of 10 ladies and had a fantastic time.. The place is lovely and the owners very accommodating. The only thing that could have improved was the seating arrangements in the lounge there are only 6 seats so for 10 adults we really struggled to fit everyone in and sitting on bean bags when you have paid such a lot of money really isn't acceptable.

We stayed here to see the new year in as two families with Kids. What a lovely place and lovely owners. Couldn't of asked for more. I would certainly suggest if you can stay - then please do. Quiet place with plenty of home comforts. Location is Quiet but close to plenty of amenities. Hope to stay again.

Miss Kemp, February 2020

The Property was excellent.. We had an age range from 7 years to 85 years and we all loved our stay. The games room was a real hit with us all as was the hot tub. We would have liked a few more comfortable seats in the lounge as only seats 6 but this is all we can say, everything else was wonderful. The owners were very attentive, supplying us with logs for the log burner when we were running out, and welcoming us with a bottle of Fizz and chocolates, a very nice touch. Would definitely recommend this property. Thank you.

We were so impressed with Ox Hey Barn, the location was great and it was beautifully appointed.. The large open plan living area and kitchen were fantastic for our large group to socialise and we had everything we needed. We particularly enjoyed the hot tub! Great pubs nearby and places to eat. Would definitely stay at Ox Hey Barn again!

8 of us stayed here for a family weekend at the end of January and we certainly were not disappointed. The barn has 5 ensuite bedrooms: 4 doubles and one double with an extra single bed. Everything was of the highest standard, from the comfy open-plan lounge with log burner to the well-appointed kitchen area. We enjoyed using the range cooker and the 3 fridges were a bonus. Children of all ages are well catered for with the chill-out zone on the first floor, complete with bean bags, board games, TV and games console. As for outside: the views were spectacular and we loved relaxing in the hot tub, although the walk to it from the house was chilly to say the least! The pool table in the games room proved very popular and the bar with fridge/freezer was very convenient for drinks outside. The barn is ideal for walkers but equally good for a family party or for simply relaxing. Ali was friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The bottle of fizz and chocolates on arrival were a nice touch. Our only criticism is that there was only comfy seating for 5 people in the lounge. Another sofa would make it perfect. This trip was so successful that we have already booked for next year.

Have just returned from Ox Hey Barn travelling as a group of ten ladies for my sister’s 60th birthday.. We were made to feel very welcome by Ally the owner, nothing was too much trouble - he was friendly, helpful & able to offer advice on a local taxi & somewhere to eat. We were welcomed with fizz & chocs & plenty of logs for the wood burner. This was much appreciated in November, we were able to buy extra logs too. The property was nicely presented it had a lovely large dining table, well equipped kitchen, beautiful bedrooms with dreamy beds. Outside a hot tub with simply stunning views & a games room. Close to Clitheroe & Skipton by car. Would definitely return - highly recommended

Oxhey barn was perfect for our annual family gathering.. The place was spotless and very welcoming. It is a beautiful spot with local walks and a lovely pub in Sawley. Oxhey was excellent for my grown up family to meet and relax. Ally (the owner) made sure everything was provided and as we wanted it. A great place I highly recommend it.

A great place for a family celebration.. Lots of space so no one was getting on top of each other. The hot tub and games room lived up to all our expectations and the privacy, being so far off the main road, and views even more! The place was suitable for kids, adults and elderly alike. It was an 80th Birthday trip. My mum couldn’t have enjoyed it more. She enjoyed the surrounds with the whole family together! She is very keen for us to revisit! So hopefully we shall be back l! Thanks! PS Hopefully we will try make it next time so you are not just back from holiday so we get the cake everyone raved about!! Nice prosecco and chocs however!

Mr Jacks

The whole family enjoyed their stay at this property.. Ally was very hospitable giving us info about the property before we arrived and providing us with a nice welcome upon our arrival. The hot tub and games room were a great addition to this property. The hot tub was checked and maintained everyday and was well used by all of us. All the bedrooms were of a generous size and all had ensuite facilities. We would certainly like to return to this property in the future.

11 of our family stayed here for 1 week in July....perfect size for our party. comfortable beds & luxurious all round. outside seating area, hot tub & games room with outdoor music system was fab. we had a few BBQ's also. Ally & family were very welcoming & nothing was a bother. We had cracking weather all week which topped it off. Would definitely recommend.

The barn was great size for our family and friends.. We had four couples and four grandchildren including two new twins. Beautiful country fields, hot tub ensure in every bedroom. Internet access was a problem but the landlord compensated us for the issue. Situated ideally to visit great parks and towns. If you are looking to escape the city and have fresh air, walks and still be convenient to amenities then this ideal property.

I stayed at Ox Hey Barn with 10 friends for my hen party weekend. The location is stunning and the barn itself is luxurious, homely and all done to a very high specification. The hot tub and the games room really enhanced the experience and we were very lucky to have fantastic weather which meant we could sit out and enjoy the panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The owners, who live next door, where friendly and helpful but the way the property has been designed means that it still feels really private. I will definitely be returning maybe for a family break next time.

Ox Hey Barn was the perfect place to spend a family holiday to celebrate my wife's 60th birthday.. We received a warm welcome from the owner's and the prosecco and delicious Victoria sponge was a surprise. The barn is beautiful, with stunning views from every window. It is such a homely and relaxing place and had plenty of space for our 4 grandchildren to play. The hot tub and games room were well used and the children could play outside and you didn't have to be worried about them because everything is enclosed. Will certainly be returning.

Ox HEy Barn is a credit to its owners and the renovations done to the property are outstanding.. Ally and his wife were most welcoming and the freshly baked cake and bottle of chilled prossecco upon arrival a lovely extra touch. The cake went down a treat! The chhildren loved their comfy and spacious bedrooms and the landing " games room" was great. The separate games room was put to good use as was the hot tub despite the stormy weather! Everywhere was immaculately .The location was great for access to local towns and would definitely recommend a trip to Skipton, the castle and eat in Alexanders on the main street.We stayed here over New Year as a group of friends and had a great time and would certainly recommend this property. Thanks Ally ! Oh yes, great communication from Ally in the run up to our stay and also afterwards!

It was a lovely house with lovely owners, who we felt were friendly and easy to talk to.. The location had stunning views and great walks to go on, and at the end of the day the house had all you needed to chill out, play games, and cook a huge meal for us all. Would definitely recommend this house and consider booking again!

This place did not disappoint, it is amazing! Group of 10 ladies ranging in ages stayed here for 3 nights. The barn is in perfect condition and very spacious. Took full advantage of the hot tub which is so nice to be in whilst being surrounded by the good old English countryside. Also loved the games room with the pool table, bar, darts board and outside games to play. Went to Clitheroe one of the days for a drink, only £12 back in a taxi and another day walked about 50 minutes to the nearest pub for a drink. Also prosecco and a home made Victoria sponge on arrival which we all loved. We didn't book here at first because we were put off that the owners house is attached to the barn in case we were too loud for them! However, this was no issue and the owner was very nice and told us not to worry about making noise. Don't hesitate to book here! It really made a weekend we were all looking forward to an absolute amazing one.

A beautiful place to stay with really kind hosts.. It was a gorgeous home to get my sister ready for her wedding day and a very peaceful break away afterwards which was very much needed by all. Thank you

Mr Terry

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ox Hey Barn.. Nice personal touches from the owners included bottle of Procecco and cake on arrival and info on local amenities like th Spreadeagle pub. Great spot for family gathering and would love to return.

Everything about this place was perfect, it's location, it's hot tub, it's kitchen and dining area, it's games room, it's beautiful bedrooms (all of which are en-suite) and luckily for us the weather! The owners could not have been nicer and it was a lovely touch arriving to a home made cake and bottle of fizz! We are already looking at returning next year!

A group of 8 ladies stayed at Ox Hey Barn for a long weekend and we had a fantastic time - we didn't want to leave. The house itself has been renovated to the highest standards and spec. The kitchen is fully equipped (beyond any expectations) and the living areas are more than comfortable. This includes both a sitting room and a lounge area with bean bags. Five double bedrooms, all en-suite, are incredibly comfortable and all boast amazing views. The outside space is second to none. The terrace, seating area, hot tub and games room are a real luxury. The setting, being surrounding only by fields and hills, is idyllic. There is a walk to the local village (Sawley) which takes 50 minutes each way through farmland, which is perfect. Sawley itself is a beautiful village with a great pub and beautiful abbey. The owner (and host) lives next door and could not have made us feel more comfortable. He is on hand whenever you need him for any query or concern. We had everything we needed and were made to feel totally at home by the owner. Could not have asked for more. We will definitely be booking again (and again and again...)!

Ox Hey Barn is the perfect property for a family get together or a group of friends. The property is stylishly decorated with high quality furnishings and luxurious bedding. The barn is large enough for everyone to have their own space if needed. The hot tub, a real treat on a cold winter's night, stargazing, and the games room was a big hit with all the family. There are amazing views and walks from the door. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. The bubbly and cake were a wonderful welcome. A most enjoyable stay,would definitely return. Thank you Ally.

I stayed at Ox Hey Barn with my wife and a group of 8 other friends over the Halloween weekend. On arrival on the Friday night we were all stunned at the size and quality of the house and facilities, it has everything you want for a break away and was perfect for our group. The very friendly and generous owners of the Barn welcomed us with a lovely cake and bottle of fizz which was a very nice touch. The Barn has an amazing living space with open plan living, dining and kitchen space, all finished to a very high standard, and one downstairs bedroom with ensuite. Upstairs there is a massive landing with feature beams and chill out area with bean bags and games console which then leads on to four big bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms. Outside there is a lovely space with high quality garden space, ample parking for 6+ cars and a HOT-TUB! The views over the back of the Barn are fantastic on a clear day and it is very peaceful to chill out. In what you think is the garage there is a great games room which has a full size pool table, dart board, bar, fridge, toilet, sound system and outdoor speakers, we used this a lot!! Near the Barn there are two lovely villages, Sawley and Gisburn. We walked along the Ribble Way (which started at the top of the drive) to Sawley, which is a lovely walk and then went to the Spread Eagle pub for a refreshing pint before heading back. This only took a couple of hours at an easy pace (including the drink in the pub). You aren't far from many places and attractions at this Barn and we would all definitely recommend it. We will be returning in the near future and I will definitely be bring my bike and walking boots!! Thank you again to owners Alistair and Zoe who made us feel very welcome during our stay!!
