  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:)

  When we first made contact to Phill the one of the owners we just needed some help on where we get the key for property and any other info that would useful to us.

  He told us where to collect the key and he also asked if we wanted the hot tub heated up already for when we arrived and what temperature. I’m pregnant so I said I’ll just dip my legs in for a few mins. They asked what drinks we would like on arrival we obviously went for soft drinks but they offer alcoholic drinks too. On the way down we gave them a call and told them we will be arriving late they were absoloutley fine with this. They heated the hot tub at a safe temperature for me as I’m pregnant so it was luke warm but still enjoyable. When we arrived at Heather Hut the owners were there to greet us the showed me and my partner how to use everything. The bed folds away into a sofa and visa versa there are information cards explaining how to do this and a video. There was booklets about what to do in the area and local restaurants which deliver also. In the fridge we had fresh milk, water and butter provided in the freezer there was ice. Cleaning supplies provided. And shower supplies provided. The hot tub was lovley and relaxing and the views are amazing even from the hot tub. There are little heaters in barn where the hot tub is to keep warm they worked wonders. Overall we couldn’t of picked a better place to stay for a few nights away. They did more than enough for us and they’re super friendly. There is loads to do in the local areas lots of shops. Would definitely recommend if your looking for a couples get away.

  What a fantastic stay we had here!

  The property itself, the location and the excellent hosts made our little get away such a wonderful experience. The generous welcome pack, the well maintained facilities and tranquil surroundings made our stay nothing short of perfect! The host’s attention to detail making your stay special and their approachable nature made the whole experience from checking in to checking out very relaxed and enjoyable. They provided helpful information about the local area such as walks, activities and eateries worth a try; they explained clearly how to use all of the facilities and made it clear that they were contactable if we needed anything during our stay but didn’t hover and gave us privacy throughout the entire stay. The views from the property are breathtaking and being able to look upon them while in the hot tub, listening to music on a speaker provided by the host and enjoying a glass of wine also gifted by the hosts was such an enjoyable and wonderful experience. You are short of nothing in the Shepherd’s Hut, a comfy bed, robes and slippers, a warm shower with shampoo etc and all the cooking facilities needed with complimentary coffee etc. a heater near the hot tub if required and romantic lighting around the outdoor area for sitting around the fire pit. A beautiful property and experience all round. Thank you Lisa and Phil for your excellent hospitality. We will definitely be back!

  The good: - Great location for Malham and the Pennine Way - Lots of space in living areas and two of the bedrooms - Clean The bad: - Lacking some basics (scissors in the kitchen; saucepans big enough to cook basics for 4) - Very small and compromised bathrooms - In poor state of repair in places (large glass shower door held on with silicone, and fell off; bad smell from drains; TVs in bedrooms not working) - Layout of outdoor space leads to a total lack of privacy in garden (which is shared with the neighbouring cottage). For example, the Hot Tub is placed just a few feet from the one belonging to the neighbouring cottage, meaning no privacy if the neighbours use theirs at the same time. (Especially so if you have neighbours who spend their time smoking, drinking, swearing, shouting and arguing in the hot tub!) We eventually cut our stay short and came home a day early. The owner did offer a partial refund, reflecting some of these issues, but this has never materialised and he has since stopped answering messages asking him to honour his promises.
