Our party of 10 adults and 4 children and 1 collie dog stayed in this lovely barn conversion over Christmas 2019. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. It was comfortable, clean, cosy and warm in a modern country farmhouse style. The owners had even decorated the property with a large Christmas tree and other stylish decorations giving it a festive feel. They also left some very much appreciated chocolates, biscuits, crackers and fizz to add to the celebrations!
Any worries about cooking Christmas Dinner for 14 in an unfamiliar kitchen were unfounded. We had everything we needed to cook a huge 4 course meal. Contrary to some other visitors comments we didn't experience any problems with showers or hot water.
We spent most of our time relaxing in the lounges, playing games, watching TV and using the hot-tub, so didn't really explore the countryside or amenities around., although two of the party did climb Pen-y-ghent on Christmas Eve. Everyone else made do with the beautiful views of the surrounding countryside .There was a good selection of shops in the nearby village of High Bentham, a few of which came in handy for last minute shopping, and sadly we didn't have time to try out any local pubs:( It was ideal for our dog too as the garden area was walled in.
Like many of the other clients we visited the farm itself with the children. Andrew was so friendly and happy to show us all the animals and watch the cows being milked, and gave the kiddies a chance to sit on the beautifully restored old tractor called Connie! A highlight for the young ones. We all agreed it would be a lovely place to come back to in late spring or summer, when the countryside around would be at its best, and we could explore the area more. If you're thinking of booking, go ahead, you won't be disappointed.
