Yorkshire Dales Self Catering cottage, Haworth Barn, Stainforth, sleeps 8

Won't be returning
Whilst this holiday cottage had plenty of positives such as location, size, equipment etc, it was let down by several issues that should have been addressed before our arrival. There was a nasty sewer smell emanating from the downstairs shower room, the smell permeated right through the downstairs area including the dining room. Several items needed repair such as the kitchen extractor and the bathroom toilet seat. The outside seat collapsed when sitting, found that one back leg was 3" less than the other 3 legs; only the wall saved it from toppling right over. Without these issues it would have been a lovely place to stay.

Felt like the "end of season"
We booked this cottage through "Sykes Cottages" and it was the sixth time that we had used them, but unfortunately we were a little disappointed by this Barn.On our arrival I had to replace several bulbs (including two in the electric fire) we noticed a stain in the carpet, the toilet holder missing from one bathroom and neither extractor fan worked, sadly the barn looked like it needed a good clean as there were cobwebs in every room. The outside dustbins were in a disgusting state of cleanliness and sadly it felt like the owners weren't keeping a close eye on the maintenance/cleaning of the other wise relaxing holiday Cottage. The bed in the upstairs double bedroom was "amazing" the most comfortable we have every experienced in a holiday let, there were several good walks from the door and 5 minutes walk away was the Craven Heifer, which we would recommend. Sadly though this is one holiday rental that we wouldn't recommend.

Perfect!
This was the second time we have stopped here this year and once again it was brilliant we were a family party of 8 and we planned to have an early Christmas together as due to circumstances we wouldn't be together on the day itself. It was the perfect 5 days to chill out, have a lovely Christmas dinner and a couple of trips to the Craven Heifer (which is under new management and is a 100% better!). The facilities are great, there is ample room for 8 people and there is everything you could wish for in the kitchen. We will definitely be booking again for the new year as we felt so comfortable and relaxed that it was a struggle to go home!

Haworth Barn
Stayed for a week, very well equipped place with lovely views, this holiday let stands on its own next to a main road, not busy and very quiet at night, the church across the road chimes on the hour from about 8am but it wasn't annoying, inside is spectacular, 2 stairways, 1 that gave it it's name is from Haworth Church where the Bronte sisters father served, there is a large kitchen also well equipped, there are 3 bedrooms but also a pull out bed under the stairs which can be sectioned off and private, the bed I stayed in was quite soft, I prefer a harder mattress, but all in all a very nice place and well worth the visit.
