In a good location to make the most of visiting the lakes & the Yorkshire dales. Ashtree barn is in a lovely spot with a good pub called The Three Greyhounds within 100 yards, serving very good food. The owner of the barn is very friendly & helpful too. Would highly recommend.

The location, conversion and renovation design, presentation, equipment, cleanliness and welcome are exceptional. The exemplary quality has never faltered and is more deserving of a platinum/rhodium classification rather than gold.

Beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We had a wonderful week and hope to return in the future.
