  We spent a week at Shawclough Barn in early August and enjoyed our stay in this beautiful part of Lancashire.

  The barn is attached to the home of the owners but felt private with its own garden area with wood fired hot tub. The views are simply stunning from the dining area and we spotted some lovely wildlife from the large picture window including a gorgeous white owl, who came regularly at dusk hunting over the fields. The property has been beautifully restored and is comfortable and spacious for a couple. It was really clean and well maintained and we had a good supply of towels with a comfortable super king size bed. Lots of bedroom storage with a wardrobe and large chest of drawers plus bedside cabinets. We liked the double sinks in the bathroom but felt a shower caddy would have been useful in the shower area to hold our toiletries. We found most things provided for in the kitchen but struggled to locate a large baking tray and a washing basket to use with the washer/dryer, although there was a really good sized clothes airer available. We’ve stayed at other UK properties in the past that have provided items such as cling film and foil but thankfully we had taken our own as we would have missed having them available. We chose the property based on it having an EV charger and found it conveniently located next to the barn - it has a 3.6 kWh capacity, was reasonably priced at 35p per kWh and we were invoiced separately after our visit, which worked well. The charger is shared with the owners but they were keen to ensure our needs were met, as we travelled some distance to stay. Within a week of our arrival date we received a welcome pack from the owners by email. It’s an extensive document containing instructions with regard to the property, alongside some great local information - we enjoyed a delicious Sunday lunch at the Bull in Broughton based on the pack. There are so many places to visit locally with some fabulous walks - we climbed Pendle Hill and walked along the Leeds/Liverpool canal and really loved our day in Skipton with its array of shops and places to eat and drink. In summary Shawclough Barn provides a great base for a stay in this lovely location affording wonderful views and the owners Greg and Theressa are communicative but unobtrusive.

  This Barn Conversion is superbly finished very comfortable place to stay and enjoy in it's own right.

  It has everything you could need for an enjoyable holiday, nestled in beautiful countryside. The bedroom is luxurious, very comfortable with it's own bath and a large adjacent shower room. The hot tub outside is fun to use and not complicated - a Wood burner heats the water and takes about 3 hours to get up to temperature on it's first run, however it retains heat and is quicker the next time. Just be careful getting in and out as can be slippery. The view from the living room window is second to none and probably one of the best in the locality. You will never get bored of looking across the hills, no matter what the weather is doing it always has something interesting to show you. If you like to watch TV while relaxing this is possible with a number of TV Channels available including Netflix movies. There is some lagging with some channels but we could always find something when needed to be honest only used it occasionally. The general area has plenty to Offer Skipton, Haworth are well worth a visit - Bronte country. There are a plenty of area to walk which are not too challenging. We would definitely recommend this cottage and would return if possible. There are plenty of places to eat locally offering good tasty treats. I would in particular encourage others to try The Emmott Arms who do a fantastic Sunday roast and not too expensive. The hosts Greg and Theresa are very approachable and helpful willing to provide assistance where required and certainly helped us out with information and more ! A great place to stay in the lovely English countryside with very friendly hosts -could not recommend more really:)

  Cons Difficult access via a long, bumpy dusty road full of deep potholes and not very many passing places.

  Had to reverse numerous times along the deep pot hole access road. Hard to see around sharp corner to exit onto main road. Hot Tub bubble setting tripped all electricity in property owner on day 3 owner promised to sort with electrician following day but heard nothing so could not use hot tub for remainder of stay, although electricity restored quickly. No storage at all in double bedrooms just coat hooks on wall. Door hit the bed in one of the rooms so limited space. Access to 3 of 4 storage drawers under beds in twin room which was only storage for clothes for whole property. Twin room has no mirror and only tiny mirror in hallway v difficult for adults using twin room to get ready when plug socket required for hair dryer / straighteners. Very noisy Cockerell, geese and peacocks from 4am. Kids in play area in front of property and sweeping outside bedroom windows from very early..not very restful. Fridge too small to store food/ drinks/milk for 6 adults for a weeks stay. Pros Very close to Howarth and surrounding area for exploring. 3 bathrooms 2 with walk in showers Fans provided in all rooms Everything provided for stay..tea towels, cloths, dishwasher tablets, foil and well stocked kitchen, although not 6 small juice glasses when property sleeps 6. Enjoyed stay but would not stay again.

  We came to stay to celebrate my 30th birthday.

  . Upon arrival we were given a bottle of prosecco which was a lovely touch. We got straight in the hot tub and relaxed. The cabin is surrounded by the most beautiful creatures. Peacocks, Alpacas, Goats, Hens, Geese. All of which know there limits and do not try to come into the cabin/hot tub areas.If you take a pet with you they have a dedicated paddock area where they can go do there business, but have to be kept on their lead. There is a forest which is a 5 minute walk away where they can run free. Out cabin (the old hen shed) was sound proofed, so when we were inside making noise or is neighbours were having a party then there was nothing to be heard from inside or out. Cabin was very clean, beds were extremely comfy and we couldn't wish for anything more than what they provided... we even got complimentary fresh eggs for breakfast in the morning.. I got back yesterday and i am already looking to go back for new year! I will recommend this cottage to anyone that asks!

  We had such a lovely relaxing stay at the old hen shed over Christmas.

  The Hun shed had everything we needed and was super clean and comfortable. Jo and Stu left some lovely biscuits and welcoming treats which was a lovely surprise. They were so helpful and informative. The animals were lovely and our children Loved learning about them and Jo letting them feed the Alpacas, especially the cheeky and very funny Ronnie. The hot tub was a real treat and we really enjoyed using it each evening, The site itself is lovely and so peaceful, also in easy reach of walks and shops and pubs. Prior to our arrival I had called Stu who was happy to tell me about local events and nice pubs so I could plan our trip and book tickets etc which was really helpful and greatly appreciated. We will certainly be booking again in the future and have been telling our friends and colleagues about the old hen shed too. Thankyou for a lovely holiday and all the care and attention throughout from such lovely hosts.
