  This is not to be seen as a negative review and I hope you take the feed back as constructive comments.

  We had a brilliant family week and the location for central Castleton is brilliant. But the property is needing some TLC. Most kitchen utensils were provided - but we are glad we brought our large wok for cooking for a family of 7. There's no garlic crusher and an additional chopping board would be good. It might be worth sharpening knives or providing new ones as the ones provided are woeful. Not a massive issue to us, but there's no gate on the fence facing the public car park which could be a close call for potentially escaping dogs when front door opened. The front door supporting brace needs replacing as it is broken and you have to lean on the door to close it. There is no key for the side patio doors (that we found). The stable door at the rear does not close properly unless you really push it and lock the door from the inside. This is annoying if you are sitting outside. It becomes dangerous for little children and their fingers. No light bulb in small room and no replacements or spares anywhere. Dishwasher needs salt to be provided - there was none that we found, so it often didn’t clean very well. Tumble dryer - doesn’t dry clothes completely dry. Accessible electric cables/wires under tv are not only visible and unsightly, but grabbable by a child unless really supervised. The welcome book is lacking any real details about managing the property itself. The bins - although it can’t be helped - were 3/4 full on arrival. There is also a lack of details for bin day collection point. I placed the green bin in the car park, but luckily I saw the bin crew at 6:30am and they said they only collect from the roadside. There is no hot tub information/ upkeep details what so ever. Luckily, we knew we had to add chlorine as the slow release container floating around had run out by Wednesday. Who knew you had to remove this when in use? I can only compare to other places I've been where staff visited twice a day to check levels. It shouldn't be down to guests to manage the safe use of a hot tub, with no instructions. There are no spare bedding or pillows (its stated beds can be pulled apart if needed which is great, but there are no extra duvets provided) there is also an under sheet missing. The curtain in the living room is annoyingly short. Cleaning, just generally could be better. It seems a surface clean is done, rather than a thorough turnover. There are cobwebs and spiders in most room corners, the worst place being above the kitchen fridge. Bathroom window is in need of repair (there was a note on the window) however the bathroom door in the same room also doesn’t close properly. In addition, the toilet seat is moving and needs to be fixed/ replaced. King size bedroom en-suite shower doors don’t close completely, and tray floods - due to blockage. Stairs are loud and need new wedges, difficult to move up and down the stairs at night time without waking others and one gets a sense that the stairs are going to collapse! Security for dogs and young children in the garden is concerning given the proximity to the main road and it is fortunate we were fastidious in supervision. We had to move any wood lying around to form a barrier to deter them from escaping, especially towards the car park side. There were many screws lying around in the rear pebbled area that we picked up following construction of the welcome cover to hot tub. It seems a missed opportunity to encompass the fire pit and grassed area along with the pebbled area into a wholly securely fenced area. The seating area along the fence in the pebbled area, along the roadside, by the hot tub is a great idea, but it is too high. It needs to be halved in height to sit comfortably on. This is by far the main area we used A seat leg was broken on the arm chair in the living room by window. We ended up balancing this many times so it could be used. The oven has a weird funny smell when in use Castleton experienced a massive power cut during our stay, so the burglar alarm needs resetting as it was beeping and there was an issue rebooting the WiFi and TV but we conquered that eventually. I come back to the Welcome pack, there were no instructions how to do any of this. A clock would be nice on the fireplace in the living room. It takes two adults to lift the hot tub lid on and off. Actually 3, the first time we used it we leant the lid against the fence, but it dropped down the back and it took 3 adults to get it out (2 in the spa). Whilst the lady cleaning the hot tub was utterly pleasant, she arrived at around 8:30am, but check out is at 10. The hot tub was being drained by before 9am, which didn’t allow any use for the morning of departure had we wanted to. Fortunately we didn't, but we were just not expecting anyone so early. Again, I come back to the welcome pack (lack of) information if 8:30 am is the norm.

  Very well equipped and tastefully fitted out barn conversion.

  This is located in an extremely quiet hamlet just outside Oughtibridge. Sheffield is just a 10 minute drive, but if you go the other direction you are presented with miles of open countryside. It’s a great location. Oughtibridge has a number of pubs and takeaways ( I recommend The Pheasant) Going back to the accommodation, there are some lovely touches. The kitchen is amazing with a massive central island made from railway sleepers. (as are many things around the accommodation. A huge fridge freezer, dishwasher, loads of cutlery and utensils and lots of crockery and glasses. We have been to so many places where there are 4 cups and four plates etc. Not here! Also downstairs is a marvellous utility room with loads of space for all the muddy shoes, coats etc. Bedrooms are all doubles and beds are extremely comfortable . The master bedroom has an en-suite and huge French windows giving the most amazing view. Minor criticism is that the rooms could do with a bit more storage for clothes. There is a downstairs toilet and shower. Beautiful family bathroom upstairs with twin wash basins and walk in shower. (en suite also has a walk in shower. The showers were excellent though the owner might want to think about fitting a glass screen, as it’s easy to flood the floor. The living area is comfy and has a massive 78 inch smart TV. Everyone loved this. Another feature of this place is all the lighting. There are lights everywhere enabling you to create whatever lighting mood you like. The only problem was knowing which switches to turn on and off/dim. I think I counted 32 light switches downstairs. I think it would be a good idea to label them or do a diagram,! Outside, garden furniture is plentiful with a big outdoor sofa and table set outside the front and another nest to the private hot tub. The hot tub is huge and was very pleasant. It’s a few yards away from the house and when it’s dark could do with a bit of outside lighting, but again a minor issue. The owner , Simon is a great host, very welcoming and always available to contact if you need anything. Plenty of private parking. There is a large lawned area big enough to exercise a dog, which is shared with the other cottage on the same piece of land. Overall, highly recommended .

  On arrival to Green Barn we were met by the owners, Simon and Amy.

  Green Barn was just as listed with amazing views and open countryside. We arrived before 3pm and were shown around and given instructions on using the kitchen appliances and given lots of menus and guidance on where to eat and get take aways. We were amazed at the facilities as soon as we entered the cottage. Bespoke kitchen with a huge central island which was a feature of the downstairs.. very clean and bright with big doors leading out onto a patio. The owners had purchased new luxurious patio furniture and a brand new BBQ was ready for us to enjoy. The 3 bedrooms upstairs were all good sizes. The master had amazing views of the country side through big double doors with a glass Juliet balcony. The en suite was tastefully done with a wet room shower. The 2 other rooms had a main bathroom next to them with a luxurious free standing bath and his and hers sink. Also a wet room room shower to complete the look. A real wow factor! Everything done with great taste and super quality. The beds and pillows were very comfortable with good quality linen. The out door facilities were excellent. Plenty of seating for 6 people and A hot tub to make the weekend relaxing and very chilled. . We went to the local shops and pubs in the village of Oughtibridge and also had a delicious Chinese take away from the Cantonese next to the village store. All of the local people were very friendly. Would definitely recommend Green Barn to everyone. Views to die for! Facilities and accommodation of a very high standard. The owners should be proud of what they have achieved. A big Thank you from The Briers Family.

  I feel I need to leave feed back in two halves.

  Good points- location is amazing, beds really comfortable, bedding good quality, towels good quality and living room furniture was comfortable. Things that let the property down- two missing gates on the front ( the dogs could get directly into the carpark or drive to main road), no handle to assist the hot tub lid lifting ( it took both my husband and I to get it back on so my parents had been unable to use it once we had left), no safe steps for older guests and a shower at outside the back door, very large amounts cobweb's in most areas, back stable door didn’t fasten together and is extremely poor repair, broken lock hanging off the inside of bedroom two along with a broken curtain tie back and broken soap holder left in the shower, shower in main bedroom not draining and leaving stood water, curtains that don’t reach the bottom of the window, no wood packs for the fire pit and lots of large lengths of wood left on sitting area so it was not able to be used.
