Had an amazing break at Sally's Barn - its in a really pretty location with gorgeous views, we didn't want to come home! The cottage was beautifully decorated and really spacious - the outside space is brilliant too, and because it is enclosed it meant the kids could play out no problem. The owner was really lovely and whenever we needed anything she was on hand. The location of the cottage is ideal for exploring the area, there are walks from the barn itself, and all our other trips out were no more than 20 mins by car (Ripon, Fountains Abbey, Harrogate, Hackfall Woods). We had a wonderful meal in the local pub 'The Grantley Arms' - a gorgeous pub with delicious food and the hosts were so friendly - they are also currently doing a limited take-away menu (during covid) which we enjoyed one night as it's only a 2 minute walk from the barn - their fish and chips were delicious. Cannot recommend Sally's Barn enough and hope to return soon.

Mrs Fisk, August 2020

I had high hopes and they were met; - the place is really comfortable, very well organised, in a quiet idyllic situation - I would highly recommend it Just a couple of observations: 1.. the wifi and phone signal were poor or patchy. If there is anything that can be done, it needs to be, but, if not, a warning needs to be added to the details. to some people it is important 2.. for a family for a week, it really does need a large fridge/freezer - it has a small freezer and two small fridges.

Exactly what you want from a holiday rental - clean, warm, comfortable, lovely setting, well located, pleasant and helpful owners who are close by but don't interfere with your stay.. We rent a lot of houses for our family of five and are frequently disappointed with some aspect of the house or facilities. Only on a few occasions does everything work out exactly as you want it to and this was one of those times. Highly recommended!

Mrs Livesey, December 2019

Barn was lovely.. Had everything we needed and more. The scenery around it was stunning. Lots of places of interest nearby.

Mrs Hamdy

April 2019

Booking was easy followed by emails with info, reminders etc.. Sallys Barn was spacious, comfortable, clean and in a great setting with gorgeous views across the fields. We were ideally located for visiting lots of local attractions. Our holiday was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Would happily stay at Sallys Barn again and will book with Sykes holidays again.

Mrs Pitts

The location was stunning and the house was just as good.. It didn't look big from the outside but had plenty of room for the 8 of us that stayed.

Mr Hopper

November 2018

The barn is beautifully styled and very spacious including the big bedrooms.. The owner was very welcoming. We found the barn relaxing - the facilities are excellent and the views are wonderful. It was perfect for us - three couples and a child - and we will definitely look to stay here again if we are visiting the area.

Mrs Bown

October 2018

Sally’s Barn was such a lovely, comfortable, cosy home for the October half term week.. The view every morning from the living room was breathtaking and it was always extremely warm and welcoming to come back to after a day out exploring. The children loved their room such a lovely detail, and each couple were extremely happy with their rooms.

Mrs Duckworth

June 2018

Lovely location and facilities excellent.. One gripe was the Internet access; it was very spasmodic and slow. Also a shame there was no wardrobe in second bedroom, despite there being plenty of room.

Mr Burdett

May 2018

Enjoyed a lovely family holiday, helped by excellent weather.. Accommodation was as described and per pictures, children enjoyed playing in the garden which had wonderful views of the countryside. Spacious accommodation and lots of nice details to the property and no clutter, short walk to the nearby pub and easy to find and access the property.

Ms Griffin

February 2018

Sally’s Barn is situated in the beautiful village of Grantley with amazing views over the valley.. The barn is spacious and elegant but also warm and cosy. The owners live on the farm and were welcoming and helpful. A super find which we hope to revisit and will recommend to all our friends and family!

Upon arrival we realized some of the photos don't do this place justice. The rooms are so spacious. Sharon was helpful when required as some of the facilities took a bit of getting used to ( that might just be my age) . Tv , heating and appeared to be more light switchs than lights . There was 6 of us all adults which allowed each couple to have their own washing facilities but the split bed room with the single bed could easily accommodate adults as well . The kitchen, dining, and living areas are all both practical and comfortable. This is a holiday home you can really feel comfortable in ,very stylish but not at all pretentious

Mrs Paterson

As we entered the property we were amazed how big it actually was.. We had a family gathering for my husband's birthday and found everything we needed there. Spacious kitchen/diner. Bedrooms were a good size too. The heating system was spot on too in fact it was too warm sometimes. It took us a while to fathom out the boiler but got there in the end. Barn in a great position for visiting Fountains Abbey and Brimham Rocks and it was only 30 minutes to Harrogate. Fantastic views from lounge. Will definitely come back perhaps in the summer time and do some walking around here and also spend some time outside on the patio and lawn.

Mrs Fagge

Well-equipped and comfortable with a lovely view.. Ideally situated for local visits, eg. Fountains Abbey; Brimham Rocks and Ripon and further afield eg. York; Whitby and Skipton. Only minus factor was no local snow for the Australian members of the party!!

The cottage and the area are absolutely stunning.. Photos do not do the justice this place.

Mrs Ambrose

November 2017

This barn conversion is absolutely stunning.. .on the inside and the views outside. It was warm and spacious, brilliant for family gatherings. Has everything you need. The cot and highchair were much appreciated. Gutted that the local pub was closed for their annual holiday, but not the fault of the cottage.

Mrs Sell

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location.. I'd recommend the cottage and the Grantley Arms.

Mr Hinton

Very friendly owners

Beautiful, spacious comfortable cottage in a lovely location. Had a wonderful week here finding plenty of things to do within a short drive. Pub down the road serves lovely food (and the takeaway fish and chips are good too). My only down point is in the middle bedroom, there are no blinds on the velux windows so it was bright enough to wake my partner and toddler at 4am, but this shouldn't detract from anyone staying here, it's really, really lovely!

We stayed here for the 2016 Christmas period. The weather was blustery and the cottage was situatiated on the outer perimeter of Grantley where it was quite exposed. Word of advice- arrive before it gets dark. We arrived at the farm gate in pitch dark without a torch in stormy rain and found great difficulty in locating the key safe. I needed to ring the owner twice as we drove up the track. When we eventually opened the door the cottage felt cold and uninviting but after switching everything on we were able to appreciate the full quality of the accommodation. The owners had left us a beautifully decorated Christmas Tree in the dining kitchen which was a lovely festive gesture. Sallys Barn had everything we required for our Christmas break. It was spotlessly clean, very well equipped with mod cons, and spaciously laid out so that our party of six never felt on top of one another. The two children loved their room with the mezzanine floor and took it in turns to sleep on the top floor. Our room was at the back and although the heating was on, because it didn't catch the sun, it was quite cool in the mornings. The cottage is very well situated for all the major local attractions and if you like a beautifully clear, star lit walk, the local pub is well worth a visit. The hospitality of the landlord and his wife was second to none and the food was delicious. We were sad to leave at the end of the week although I am pleased that we were ready and packed for 10am departure as the cleaners were sitting in their car outside ready to take over on the minute.

We liked everything and had a fantastic family break. We would re-book Sally's Barn in a heartbeat, as the owner was so helpful.

Mrs Tilbury

The property layout was fantastic for 2 families with small children. The property was extremely well placed for local outdoor activities for small children (Fountains abbey and Ripley castle both within a few miles). The wood pile was well stocked and the cottage was warm and welcoming. The photos did not do it justice!

Mrs Marsh

A super cottage with comfortable beds and lots of space. Just wonderful. The owners were very friendly.

Mr Mrs Rimell

October 2015

Sally's Barn is a beautiful barn conversion. The accommodation is spacious, very well laid out and absolutely perfect for a family holiday. There was lots to do and see in the surrounding area - and some very beautiful scenery in the Dales. It was great to come back every day to comfort and warmth and the pleasure of a log burning stove. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

We had a fabulous holiday. Sally's Barn had everything we could wish for in terms of furnishings, kitchenware, bathrooms, bedrooms etc. It makes a great location to relax and enjoy the countryside.

Mrs Burgess

June 2015

Sally's Barn was bright, airy, clean and comfortable. Patio and garden were immaculate. The owners farm is very neat and well kept. Owner was very friendly and accessible, but did not intrude at all.

This was a lovely place to stay. We were a family off 7 from Australia, Amsterdam and Scotland aged 13 to 82. Other family members stayed in the St George's B & B. The barn is very clean and very well equiped with everything you could need and more.. Sharon the owner was easy to deal with and answered any questions we had. The local pub is great for food and a very easy walk. Only thing to say is perhaps to provide more coat hangers in the wardrobes and hooks on the backs of doors especially for those rooms without wardrobes. We found it difficult to find at first. Go left at the children's playground in Grantley( before the pub on your left) then drive to the bottom of the road to Town End Farm gate . Go through the gate and follow gravel road around with the farmhouse on your left and Sallys barn is at the end with a black barn on your right. Email Sharon first so you have the code to get the key to open the barn . We would definitely return if in the area again.

Mrs Mills

Sally's Barn is situated in an area of outstanding beauty within the Yorkshire Dales with picturesque views. The accommodation is of a high standard throughout and ideally situated for touring around the Dales. The owners were friendly and very helpful. All in all Sally's Barn is a superb holiday stay.

Mr Fraine

March 2015

Fantastic accommodation, there was plenty of space for 6 adults to relax and have fun. Plenty to do within driving distance, as well as beautiful places to walk and explore directly from the Barn. Cannot praise it enough, I am seriously considering going back! 2 en suite bathrooms and a regular bathroom was perfect. It was very clean and very well kept with a lovely pub a 5 minute walk away with great food.

Mrs Sykes

Gorgeous property in a great location which was very clean. Loved it so much we have already booked for next year.

Just got home from a weekend with family at Sally's barn, where we celebrated a 60th and a 3rd birthday. The barn is perfect, the views are amazing and there is plenty to do a short drive or walk away. Often when you stay in a self catering place, "sleeps 8" means one person is on a sofa bed and there is only enough crockery, cutlery and importantly, wine glasses for 6 people. Sally's Barn has more than enough of everything you need to cook, eat and be merry. The pictures don't do it justice. The decoration is perfect and everywhere you look there are ornaments and Nicknacks that have obviously been collected and placed with great care. It really is a home from home and we're certainly going back. Would definitely recommend a stay.

Mrs Parker

Lovely property, ideal for our family group with a toddler. Lovely location, comfortable beds, well equipped - one of the best properties we've stayed in,

Mr Brown

Great location. Friendly and helpful owner. Good property with plenty of space.

RiccardoTenby

A lovely holiday home. We stayed in November for a family 90th Birthday party locally. The weather was very misty so didn't see much of the views but on a clear day they are wonderful. The barn is very well appointed with some special features and is very comfortable with plenty of room for all. The oil fired central heating was very efficient and the place was always warm.

Almeida

The views are spectacular! The house is very comfortable and very well equipped. The property is a barn conversion and has 4 bedrooms total. There was firewood stocked in the living room for a wood burner as the mornings and evenings can be cool and the kitchen and dining area was great. It was big and never felt crowded and we had 6 adults and 2 kids! The place also had a separate area for a washer and dryer. I would highly recommend it and you wont be disappointed.

Mrs Grainger

The property had a really homely feel, with amazing views from the lounge window! The beds were particularly comfortable and we felt very at home there. The area is very beautiful and peaceful, with lots of lovely country walks. A fabulous weekend break!

Mrs Williams

December 2013

The whole accommodation was of excellent quality with facilities representative of a home from home. We found the washing machine and tumble dryer extremely useful with two very young children in our family. We felt so comfortable it was hard to leave.

The barn was excellently equipped. The owners were extremely helpful. Had a wonderful fortnight. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Mrs Hogg

November 2013

The house in general was superbly and expensively equipped. The wifi was fast. The owner was charming and most helpful. We would happily rebook.

Mr Dickinson

September 2013

The location was excellent for trips to the Dales. Ripon is very close and served by good supermarkets and some really nice restaurants. Sally's Barn was fantastic, providing an excellent standard of décor, fixtures and fittings. The open kitchen/dining area was lovely, as were the lounge and bedrooms. Showers were nice and roomy and powerful. The views from the lounge were fantastic, and there was plenty of garden for kids to run around and play. All in all, a really excellent holiday cottage.
