From arrival to leaving the barn owner could not do enough for us. A lovely welcome pack was left for us. The barn was clean and just as advertised. As the weather was so warm the owner offered us extra bed sheets as quilts were too hot. Half way through the holiday an extra batch of clean towels were left for us. What a fantastic host! The views are unbelievable, sunsets beautiful from the patio. Such a relaxing atmosphere, just what we we needed. Thank you again.

We had waited a long time to get this break away, as cancelled last year due to covid. We finally arrived and we very excited! As soon as we opened the door, we realised how much we would love this barn and our week away. A large kitchen, beautiful lounge area with door that opens onto one of the best views, which seems endless, a picture postcard, with cows, sheep and chickens dotted around. Sunsets amazing! Bedrooms all lovely, with stone features and comfy bed! Very important! The bonus for us was a week of sunshine! We had breakfast outside and just found peace! We walked, talked, chilled and healed. Fiona, the owner, was lovely and calm. And we just did not want to leave! Even our little stressy terrier who barks at everything! was relaxed, and would sit for ages just looking at the sheep! And also adored going to see the wallabies! We will definately be back!

Sorry it’s taken a while to post this review, we were @ Usherwoods in Nov 18.. 5 people 1 large dog(American bull), plenty of room we didn’t get under each other’s feet. the accommodation/facilities were absolutely as described. Handy welcome pack & milk on arrival, a nice touch. To say how spacious the barn is it kept lovely & toasty warm, underfloor heating in the porch/front door area was a treat for the feet after kicking off (sometimes wet/muddy) walking boots. Same with showers/bath, all hot & worked a treat. Beds/pillows comfy. The main bedroom with toilet/shower has a quirky floor level/foot level window...perfect for dogs to lay & nosey out of. For us everything was clean & good. Plenty of parking outside the barn. There’s an enclosed pretty long, narrow garden, we still kept our dog leaded up as she could’ve jumped the walls/gate if she’d really wanted to. We met the lady owner who lives next to the barn but doesn’t intrude at all, she is on hand for extra logs or info on the local area etc. The grounds of the barn are lovely, great to see wallabies- our dog was very intrigued with them. We went to the Co-op in High Bentham for any supplies, it’s a 5minute drive or 3mile walk (we did walk it there & back one of the days). Would recommend & would return.

Sorry I've taken so long to put this review up from when we stayed last September (2017)! Lovely welcoming cottage, nice and warm on our arrival, lovely large, well equipped kitchen, not that we used it very much.....too many lovely eateries everywhere!! So peaceful here with fantastic views allround and loads of great walks for our little dog, Poppy who could also mooch around the secure garden! She was fascinated by the wallabies as well! This house seems to stay nice and warm which is lovely when it's a bit chilly outside to come back to warmth. The beds were very comfy and the shower was good too. The welcome pack was great to find! All in all this is a great place to stay......so good in fact we've just rebooked for October, can't wait!!

Excellent stay from start to finish, did not want to leave.. We had all the different changes in weather and the snow did not stop us from getting about. The Barn is extremely comfortable very spacious and has everything you need. The owner is on hand if you need anything, she is very approachable and very kind. The views are spectacular and the walks amazing, plenty to do in this area. We will be returning already booked can not wait to return, Happy days.

The location is superb! It sits just inside the Forest of Bowland AONB, next to the Yorkshire Dales National Park and very close to the Lake District National Park. We went on long walks over moors and past waterfalls, (and shorter ones) with them and their well-behaved Labrador, Lucy. We ate in great restaurants, visited Leighton Moss RSPB, and rode the famous Settle-Carlisle railway. It was a pleasure to return in the evenings to this perfect renovation. The rooms are large, airy and very tastefully appointed. There is a log-burner in the lounge, and a barbeque, both of which we made use of. There are stunning views from the secluded garden (beautifully enclosed with dry-stone walls) on the terrace, which falls away to the lawn, with a delightful cottage-garden border. The cow and sheep-filled fields fall away into the Wenning Valley and rise again majestically to the peaks of Gragareth, Whernside, Ingleborough, and farther east, Pen-y-Ghent. The views from the bedrooms were even better! The kitchen looks across the large, gravelled parking area to the paddock, where it is amazing to watch wallabies bounding across the grass as you prepare a meal. The water is copious, hot and the showers powerful. The massive stone flags on the floor benefit from under-floor heating, and there is a big range cooker, dishwasher, washing machine. I enjoyed taking Lucy for her morning walk every day, and if your dog doesn't behave, keep it on a lead, as the long drive is lined with sheep fields, and once over the cattle-grid onto the moor, the sheep are wandering freely. Lucy can be walked within feet of sheep without a lead, and behaves impeccably - a real lady. It really is perfect, and we had a FANTASTIC week.

This is a beautiful cottage, perfect for walking and getting some peace and quiet.. There is a fab roll top bath and fluffy white towels. The beds are comfy. The kitchen has everything you need.

Fantastic property booked along with the bigger dairy.. Facilities are first rate and the owner Fiona was very helpful from start to finish. Very comfortable with more than enough room for everyone. Excellent location with wonderful views of Ingleborough. You can go on walks from the doorstep with the big stone a firm family favourite. High Bentham is easily accessible and has a good chippy to boot. We will definitely return.

Great location in the Forest of Bowland with tremendous views. Very clean and very well equipped. Also very spacious with an excellent kitchen and lounge. We only had a short break but hope to return before too long. Plenty to do in the area, and the Ingleton waterfalls walk is a must.
Mrs Bason
May 2017
The Barn is a wonderful place, all you can hear are sheep, cows and birds.. If I could have brought the barn home with me I would, it is a big place as there were only 3 of us there, we were spoilt for choice of where to sit so we were certainly not in each other's way! The main traffic on the local roads are sheep! We made the most of the central location, visiting the lakes, the dales, the coast and south to Skipton and Howarth. A delightful holiday was had and fantastic weather!
Mr Wherry

We thoroughly enjoyed our peaceful holiday in this beautiful and spacious barn.. The property is surrounded by fields with far reaching views. The enclosed garden was perfect for our dog. Would highly recommend

We stayed for our fourth time in September 2016 and back in March 2017. The location is perfect for exploring the Lakes and Yorkshire Dales, close enough to the small town of High Bentham but also remote and has excellent views. The property is great for dogs, plenty of room for dog beds in the kitchen and sitting room. There are quiet roads all around which are safe to walk your dog. The accommodation is first class, has everything you need, a kind of 'home from home'. What we love about the property is that while it sleeps 6, it comfortably seats six in the lounge and also has the benefit of separate bath/shower room facilities for each bedroom, where other rental properties we have researched fall short on living space. Having dogs, we holiday a lot more in the UK and come back to this property each time because it is perfect and a perfect position for the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. The owners are next door although they leave you completely alone but are on had if you need anything. And of course where else in the UK could you look out of your kitchen window and see the wallaby's jumping around.

We stayed here for one week during August, it was a truly wonderful place, tranquil and beautifully appointed, my children didn't want to leave. Comfortable clean, crisp beds, everything I needed in the kitchen, open fire, comfortable settees. The garden felt very safe for my little doggie, and the views and sunsets were amazing. The resident wallabies are beautiful creatures and we could feed them banana skins as the owner suggested. The girls rode bikes and had freedom. The owners were there but were unobtrusive, and couldn't have been more helpful.
Mr Farrer

The property was beautifully cared for, quiet and the owners were especially kind. The location is perfect for exploring Lancashire and the North Yorkshire Dales. Hadrian's Wall and a bit of Scotland are just a little drive away. There are ample opportunities for hiking and the local village, High Bentham, has great pubs, two grocery stores, a butcher, bakery and even has an Indian takeaway. The home itself is very spacious and well appointed. There are many conveniences in the home that we greatly appreciated. Would definitely give this home a legitimate five stars! Oh, yes, - the resident wallabies were an extra bonus, so cute!

We thought the views from Usherwoods Barn were out of this world it was beautiful to wake up too them and then see them all day. The walks in the area where superb and every one was so friendly and the owner was very very nice.

Set on the edge of the Forest of Bowland, this property offers first class accommodation with all the comforts of home. Dogs are welcome and have the advantage of a secure garden as well as easy access to open countryside. The property provides a cosy return after your day of visiting local attractions ( we stayed in November), is exceptionally spacious, and has been well maintained. The owners were most welcoming and live on site but provide with you complete privacy during your stay. We would highly recommend this property as a base for exploring Lancashire and the South Lakes.
Mrs Wykes

A beautiful barn conversion in a wonderful setting. The underfloor heating made it lovely and cosy. The property was very well furnished and all to a high standard.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this welcoming, comfortable barn. The owner was extremely helpful and accommodating. We loved the location - there were lots of unspoiled walks nearby - many just walking out of the door. The views from the back garden were spectacular. A hidden gem!
Mr Dodd

The cottage was stunning so spacious and peaceful. The owners are lovely and are just next door if you need anything but let you have your privacy and not bother you. The kitchen is so massive and has everything you need. I enjoyed the deep bath tub which was so relaxing, the bathrooms are stunning. Me and my family really enjoyed relaxing here, Definitely want to come back here. We couldn't fault anything. We were all really sad to leave such a stunning property.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Usherwoods Barn. The location is lovely and peaceful, the cottage was clean and very spacious. The walled garden was very pretty and the view was incredible. Great location for touring, we went to the Lakes one day, Malham Cove and lots of other places. All within reasonable driving distance. We were blessed with excellent weather too, always a great bonus. Don't think about booking this cottage, just book it! You will not be disappointed.

Lovely Cottage in the heart of a beautiful dale. If you warn to get away from it all and have a peaceful break then you would have a long search to find a place to even match Usherwoods.

Excellent surroundings, views and garden. The Barn was lovely with everything we could have needed. Very clean and good quality. Thoroughly enjoyable week. If you want to get away from it all this is the perfect place, yet shops and other facilities are only a short drive away.

Guest

This beautiful property was in a magnificent location with views to match, but within easy driving distance of the nearest town. The property was beautifully furnished and all the fittings were top notch, and the welcome was second to none. We had a wonderful stay and the wallabies kept on the farm were a delight for children to feed. The surrounding area has many places of interest to visit, and going out for walks or staying in and playing games made this property a great spot to stay for so many reasons.
Mrs Starkey

We had a wonderful week staying at Usherwoods barn. It was much larger than we had expected and had been finished and equipped to a high standard. The underfloor heating works very well and it was lovely to sit in front of the log burner in the evening. It isn't often that holiday accommodation exceeds your expectations but this certainly did. The owners were friendly and very helpful and it is in a great location. Pet friendly too. We hope to go back again.

We had a really good holiday at Usherwoods Barn it is really lovely and comfortable the owners were great the views from the garden are to die for and location is stunning. The only problem that we had is with the twin bedded room it is very comfy but no wardrobe plenty of draws, thought that perhaps a single wardrobe would fit on the landing which is very big, I would return and enjoy the wonderful cooker and large kitchen
Mr Constable
November 2012
The barn was much bigger than we expected. It had everything you could wish for and was a fantastic home from home. We loved the wood burner and the underfloor heating was great. It was very dog friendly and the owners were very helpful. The wallabies were very cute and liked banana skins! Would definitely recommend and we will be back.

The cottage was very well equipped and tastefully decorated. Excellent views of the countryside. More than home from home. 3 of us stayed and had a settee each to relax each evening after days spent walking and touring the local area. Really nice welcome pack of tea, coffee and milk etc.and very friendly owners. Nothing not to like.

Mrs Cooper
August 2012
This cottage was perfect in every way and we will return next year. The setting was perfect with the views of the Yorkshire Three Peaks, and you really felt you were away from it all. The cottage itself felt so very comfortable and we did not feel like we were only guests. Every detail had been considered. Charlie our Beagle loved it too and with walks from the door it was again perfect for her. Although there was just the two of us and the dog, the cottage did not feel too big and because the cottage is very good value it felt like luxury but not with a huge price tag. Excellent - see you again soon.
Mrs Holmes
July 2012
Everything in the accommodation helped us to enjoy our stay. One of our party has booked again for later in the year - says it all! Owners were lovely and very helpful and friendly. Good location for visiting places and enjoying the evening sunshine and peaceful and tranquil setting.
Mrs Day

The property was as described and the owner came to greet us on arrival, after which they were on hand but never intrusive. The cottage was perfect for us to get some much needed R R and we will certainly be going back there without hesitation!

Beautiful location and cottage. Very comfortable and the owners where very friendly and helpful. The whole family agreed this it was the best holiday accommodation we have stayed in and we are keen to book again. The children especially enjoyed feeding the wallabies. A lot of thought has gone into this property. It is an excellent conversion and holidaymakers are well catered for.

The whole package makes your holiday very relaxing, feeding the wallabies and ducks, absolutely great for the kids, good for flying kites too and very safe. Lovely views, welcoming host, second time round so we must have enjoyed it. Would not hesitate to recommend, if you just want to chill out and relax it's for you.

We booked our holiday rental through Sykes Cottages, whom couldn't have been more helpful. Key arrangements were made directly with the owner, whom again couldn't have been more helpful. The cottage was beautiful, clean and high spec. Very spacious. Met all our needs and more, restful,comfortable, and close to lots of attractions. We will certainly be back.

Mr Newman

Warm and Friendly welcome, but then we were left alone. Peaceful and beautiful surroundings, close enough to amenities. If you didn't want to explore the Yorkshire Dales, you'd be quite happy just to chill out in the property. We loved every minute of our holiday. Would definitely like to return in the future.
Ms Pauls
July 2011
Stunning location, most amazing views and a really well appointed property. If you are looking for somewhere to get away from it all and relax in beautiful surroundings you couldn't want for more! A great base for touring the lakes or the dales or simply enjoy the local wildlife including the wallabies and little owl! Take grapes and bananas to feed the wallabies and like us you will have them eating out of your hands! Go enjoy - explore and see how exceptionally good this barn is! We don't go back to many place but we will most certainly visit again!
Miss Tompkins
June 2011
The rural setting of this property, the owners were very friendly and welcoming. The Barn set up was an excellent home from home. The wallaby's in the field proved a great fascination for us all. We all would definitely go back in the future. The whole experience was fantastic!

The area was outstanding, Usherwoods Barn gave us the opportunity to visit some stunning locations. The Barn was of an extremely high standard, everything had been thought of by the owners. Words really cannot describe our stay there. Fantastic! We will stay there again.
Elliott
March 2011
Everything was absolutely fantastic and I would recommend Usherwoods Barn to anyone, in fact I have already done so to many of my friends. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful, it was a pleasure to see her every now and again for a lovely chat. The position of The Barn was marvellous, with breathtaking views everywhere you looked. It was in the perfect position to visit many of the areas, well known beauty spots and wonderful walks. Usherwoods Barn was gorgeous inside and superbly kitted out. The wallabies were particularly sweet and fascinating to watch. We shall never forget our stay there and will definitely be returning in the future. One of the best places we have ever stayed. Very, very special.
Mrs Davies
December 2010
Usherwoods Barn was a fabulous holiday cottage (and we have stayed in many) and the owners were thoroughly nice people, who really cared that we enjoyed our holiday. The cottage was so nice that we really did not want to leave it, the views and walks from the door were fantastic! It really is a great location for exploring both the Lakes and Yorkshire Dales. It's a spacious barn, but cosy at the same time and the underfloor heating meant that we were really comfortable inside, while it was minus 10 (or lower) outside! The kids absolutely loved it all, especially feeding the wallabies every morning (so if you go, take some banana skins and grape stalks!) I would tell anyone that they should not hesitate to book this property - you won't be disappointed.
Mrs Cooper

Lovely cottage with excellent facilities and great views. The room configuration worked well for our Family (with couple of grandparents plus 1 dog as well). Plenty to see nearby - we never went more than 30 minutes all week. Lovely walks even from the cottage itself.
Mrs Duckett

The accommodation and location were superb. There were 12 of us in our party, (in both properties), and the houses were spacious, clean, very well equipped, and warm. The views from the garden were just stunning, and there were plenty of walks, places of interest etc all within easy reach. We all had a brilliant week at Usherwoods, and would love to return one day.

Isolated location was not painfully remote. Accommodation was obviously finished to a very high standard. Our hosts - in the adjoining property - were friendly and helpful without being intrusive. There was ample space on the premises, and the physically impaired member of our party was not restricted in any way.

We spent a very snowbound Christmas at Usherwoods Barn, but I can't think of a more warm, comfortable and well-equipped place to be stranded. The owners were friendly and helpful, the views were spectacular and the location is a perfect jumping off spot for The Dales, Lancashire and Cumbria. I would highly recommend it.

The people who owned the house were a lovely,they greeted us on arrival, showed us how things worked like the cooker etc, because at the last minute we had to take my granson with us who was only 4yrs old, and they maid him so welcome. The house was beautifull with everything you needed, my granson loved the animals in the garden and surrounding areas. It was remote and peaceful with lovely scenery yet only a short drive to the village.

A drive through winding country lanes was well rewarded on finding our Sykes Cottage at Usherwoods Barn. The cottage was very well appointed, warm and inviting especially as we were to have snow in a day or two. The nearby owners were very welcoming and helpful and always available. There are loads of walks in the area, and as the weather turned snowy, we were glad to find some without using the car. Overall a lovely holiday in a lovely cottage in a lovely part of the world. Perfection!

The location of the cottage was ideal, the views from the cottage were amazing. Everything that we needed was available, and if not, the owners were on hand to help.

A friendly welcome and offer of help if needed from the owner. Prompt service to a request for wood. The barn is in a delightful spot and even when the roads were snowbound we could walk directly from the barn.

The view - absolutely stunning - a lovely cottage with a really cosy feel. The log burner was an added bonus. Contact with the very helpful owners. Being able to access footpaths from the front door

A peaceful location in a beautiful setting. Spacious, comfortable accommodation with a friendly welcoming host. Good selection of books, games and puzzles provided along with plenty of information on local amenities and the major tourist attractions of the area. Well worth another visit in the not too distant future.

The accommodation was truly excellent: spacious, comfortable, beautiful and welcoming. The owners were helpful but unobtrusive. The surroundings were stunning, peaceful and lovely yet within easy driving or cycling distance of all necessary amenities. Even the weather was excellent!

We had a lovely time in the property, it was very much a home from home. Plenty to visit in the surrounding countryside - we really did not have enough time to do everything.

Perfect location away from it all. The cottage was first class - very warm and cosy. Good walks from the doorstep and only a short drive takes you into the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. We hope to return in the near future.

The cottage was in a perfect location for seeing the country side. We found some nice dining places and the cottage was first class . The owner could not have been more helpful.

Fantastic property, views out of this world. Perfect base for holiday. Owner could not have been nicer. Excellent holiday yet again from Sykes.
Mrs Till
June 2007
We had a fantastic holiday at Usherwoods. There are so many good points. The views from the house and garden are unbeatable (dont miss the sunsets!). The standard of fixtures and fittings are the best we have experienced in many years of English self catering cottages. The bathrooms are works of art which I would happily have in my own house. The owners are lovely and very helpful but totally unobtrusive. The surrounding villages and countryside are beautiful with far too much to see and do in one holiday and yet in half term week we felt as though we were the only holidaymakers in the area, which is why we will definitely be back!
Miss Harper

Owners were really welcoming. The property was newly converted so a really nice place to stay and had everything we needed. Children would enjoy as owners had a number of animals on land - including wallabys!
Mr Holmes
February 2007
Very comfortable property in ideal location for gentle walking and visiting Dales and local area. Owners could not be more helpful and were available but not intrusive...
Mrs Fletcher

Excellent cottage, like a home from home, couldn't ask for anything more. Hospitality was welcoming, nothing was a problem for the owners. Beautiful cottage and gorgeous location!
