Barnbrook, Carperby

We stayed at Barnbrook over the Christmas week. The cottage surpassed our already high expectations; clean, spacious and with beautiful views from the bedrooms. Our children absolutely loved the cottage and were kept entertained with games, books and wifi. They both managed the walk down to Aysgarth Falls (both under 5). Absolutely worth the money for a more reasonably priced cottage. Would have been a bonus if there was a Christmas tree up over the festive period but this is only a suggestion for a 'cherry on the top' of an excellent stay.

A very comfortable cottage in a lovely village.

A nice, warm, clean, peaceful, well equipped cottage located in excellent walking country - there were easy walks to waterfalls and rocky places which the children enjoyed too. We got very muddy and were glad of the washing machine and dryer.

We have holidayed in Yorkshire for over 40 years and this was the best cottage we have had. We enjoyed the local walks; the property was close to places we wanted to visit and near to amenities. There was plenty of room for parking at cottage. We found Dent to be a charming place with cobbled streets and loads of history Beautiful drive and friendly people.

Barnbrook truly is the perfect cosy cottage to escape to! It's in a fantastic location as a base to explore the Dale's and the cottage itself is fantastic! It accommodated myself, my husband and my 2 children with ample space! The kitchen is huge and has everything you need, the lounge is comfy, cosy and warm. The bedrooms are also fantastic, with loads of storage and space! Would highly recommend a stay at Barnbrook and we will definitely be returning!

We enjoyed our stay at Barnbrook. The cottage was cosy and warm when we arrived. The kitchen/dining area was huge! It was useful to have a separate toilet downstairs. The cottage was well equipped and the beds were comfortable. It was nice to have books and games provided and there was lots of information about things to do and walking routes. The surrounding area is lovely and we enjoyed the peace and quiet of the place. We can recommend the Wheatsheaf Hotel for a meal. We thought the price was reasonable for staying over New Year.

A very warm and cosy cottage in a great area for walking.

A most relaxing base to explore on foot the local area.

The cottage was comfortable, homely and spacious. Perfectly located for marked walks in and around the locality without the need of the car to get to starting points.

A comfortable house, lots of books and games, fabulous location and great walks right from the door step.

Lovely cottage and good base for exploring. Very comfy beds!

Very homely cottage which we immediately felt at home in. Well laid out with plenty of room especially the kitchen.

The cottage setting was lovely. It was pretty to look at and homely and comfortable inside. I think we had everything we needed. In fact we feel it's a cottage we would like to revisit next year unless we decide to explore another area with another of your cottages. Booking and payment were simple and everything ran really smoothly.

A very peaceful location, good walks right from the door.

Very good standard of cottage - nothing missing - everything we would expect at home. A great location, village, walks, pub, etc. Happy to stay in on a very wet day !

Location excellent for exploring the area. The large kitchen/diner gave us an alternative space to the lounge for leisure activities such as board games while others read or watched TV.

A quiet peaceful atmosphere and wonderful scenery.

Great well equipped cottage and we would go again.

Barnbrook was in a lovely part of the country. The only problem we had with the house was trying to dispose of our rubbish. Otherwise all was very successful. Lots of things to do for adults as well as children. The castle was a great success, as was the cheese!

Location, Bolton Castle, Forbidden Corner and Aysgarth falls. Lots of helpful info for these in the cottage.

Had a great week in the cottage. Friendly & helpfull people in the area. Heating system slightly confusing.

The property was good for children and adults alike. We didn't need to use the car to go on lots of lovely long walks to Castle Bolton and Aysgarth falls. The local pub served great food and the village was lovely & quiet - just what we were looking for! There were also great views of the landscape - all together a lovely relaxing holiday in beautiful surroundings!

It's such a pleasure to have a relaxing holiday. The cottage at Barnbrook is so cosy we felt more than welcome and the scenery is amazing. We have used your company now for a few years and have not been disappointed - you will here from us again!

Cottage in an ideal location for walking and a great pub close by. What more can a family ask for.

The cottage was very well equipped. It was cosy and comfortable and very welcoming. It had everything we needed. We loved the peaceful location and beautiful surrounding countryside.

Perfect location for a walking holiday.

The cottage was excellent, comfortable, and well equipped. The area has plenty of fascinating places to visit and, barring one day, the weather was good. We visited castles, museums, gardens, the seaside and lots of very picturesque towns and villages.

We were expecting a quiet retreat but it was quite noisy. Impossible to relax with windows open in the extreme heat of the evening as next door neighbours were relaxing outside the window and children running on the gravel roadway, from front to back of house playing. A car was then parked in the main drive with it's radio on, which we felt was inconsiderate. The parking was very tight and quite difficult with the outside layout shared, manoevering to exit caused a chip on car from the rough wall, we constantly felt we may be trapped in our space by the number of vehicles sharing the parking spaces. The decor was drab and depressing and we felt it could all do with updating. There was no full-length mirror. However, we felt the kitchen area was spacious and light and we spent most of our week in this room.

Very comfortable, peaceful.

Our fifth visit and Barnbrook and Wensleydale are even better than we remember. We will be back (wont leave it 5 years before the next time).

We really enjoyed our stay, on arrival the cottage exceeded our expectations.

Barnbrook is comfortable and we felt at home immediately, but most importantly it has been generously furnished and equipped with a view to comfort, practicality and convenience. We had a great week.

The Cottage was very clean ,Had every thing in the kitchen that you needed had a good selection of Pamphlets to help us plan our days out plenty of games for children to do at night Only drawback cost of meals at local

The brochure description was good and the price fair. We always look for cottages with parking and that do not take pets as we have had problems years ago. The cottage was in the a small village with a good pub/restaurant but unfortunately no shop, knowing this from the information provided prior to travel we went prepared. The very pleasant sounding owner provided us with sufficent information on the locality and access to the property. The cottage was beyond our expectations and provided nearly enough amenities that we could easily had lived there for a lengthy period of time. The large kitchen diner was just what we were after. We loved the location, also the fact that we did not necessarily have to take the car out to find good walks and we did a few from the house itself. We took a few drives also and just loved everything the places, and the people. When we were doing our Leyburn Shawl walk we had come off the short stretch of main road we had to use when going down a lane which would eventually take us to the Hall and Wensley village a farmer and his wife stopped their vehicle and had a chat to us. How good is that? The peace and tranquility was lovely and as you have asked for a downside -there was no view from the living area and only one small window in the lounge, but hey I've only mentioned that because you asked! We will certainly return.

Peaceful location, in a character village close to many interesting places.

Lovely cosy cottage in peaceful and tranquil surroundings. Nice pub very close by. Lots of good walks in the area.

The property was larger than expected and everything was excellent. The Wheatsheaf was good, Kearnton House Hotel was in excellent condition, as was Cafe Maioon in Grassington.

We had a wonderful holiday and the cottage was super. Much bigger than expected and very clean and tidy, with many extras.

Lovely, clean and well equipped cottage. Comfortable beds, good shower and a nice big kitchen. Nice location.

The cottage is extremely well maintained and provides everything you could ask for even a cafetiere. The location is idyllic and peaceful for a relaxing week in the country. We could not fault the property in any way. Well done to the owners.

The area was outstandingly beautiful and scenery was breathtaking. Nice people, great market towns, super waterfalls and rivers and good weather too.

The cottage, village etc were very nice and it is a beautiful part of the world.

This was fantastic...a wonderful, wonderful place to stay. Highly recommended.

The area where the cottage is and the high standard of the cottage. Cottage lovely and warm.

The warmth of the cottage in freezing weather was particularly appreciated. It was also very private and quiet without being isolated. There was a real sense of welcome and homeliness and although the cottage was very cosy, it was also spacious.

We have been to the cottage before and the overall size of it is very good. It is ideally situated for walks from the door and to the local pub!

The cottage is in an excellent position for exploring the Yorkshire Dales and further afield, either on foot or by car. It is a very comfortable and homely cottage with all you need for a good holiday. Carperby is a typical pretty Dales village, It has one pub which serves excellent meals.

Carperby is a very nice village and well located for exploring Wensleydale. There is good walking direct from the cottage. We were comfortable and warm in the cottage and enjoyed our break.

Spacious cottage, lots of facilities, brilliant book, map and video collection especially for children. Good access to the pub and very quiet.

The cottage was in an excellent location to explore the dales. It was extremely well equipped and the cleanliness was excellent .

Very thoughtful owners, they had thought of everything we might need. It was home from home and very warm, even though the weather was very cold outside. The selection of DVDs and Videos was appreciated and they also left some toys for our 2 year old.

The location was excellent with easy access to the Dales and surrounding area. The packet of biscuits left as a welcoming gift was a very nice touch. Highly recommend the cottage and would like to make a return visit.

Barnbrook was so clean I'd like to hire their cleaner! Every possible thing we needed was thought of, and I was especially impressed by the guide book collection.

A good property, well presented - a real "feel at home effect".

Cottage set in very quiet and picturesque location but village still within walking distance.

The property is in an excellent situation for exploring the Dales. It really is home from home and very cosy.

Lovely area, nice village, lots of areas of interest and things to do and see.

We liked the whole of the holiday. The property that we stayed in was like "home from home", with all the things that you would require in a home to cater for a family group. We will recommend this web site to our family and friends.

A very comfortable and warm house in the winter, and excellent walking from the house. Convenient for shops at Leyburn and a pub is in walking distance. It's the first time we have ever returned to the same property!

Good access to walking areas. Pleasant quiet village.

Excellent! Even better than described in the brochure.

Cosy, clean, well equipped cottage, good location for upper dales walks.

A good location and a very nice house.

I could not fault the property in any way. My family and I had great time and I would recommend this cottage to any one.

A well equipped, lovely cottage in a beautiful part of the country.

A lovely cottage. Great for exploring the Yorkshire Dales.

We immediately felt comfortable and relaxed in this very cosy cottage. Barnbrook is a home away from home. We loved every minute of it, even when we were stuck inside due to rain and fog, which was mostly down to the well stocked cottage of books, games, videos (even a blank video for die hard tv fans not wanting to miss their favorite show). It is located in a wonderful position to see many of the main sites of the dales and has a very friendly local 3 minutes down the road. Highly recommend this proprty to anyone and would love to go back for longer.

An outstanding cottage set in an outstanding area of the dales. Try the Wheatsheaf hotel in Carperby and the Bolton Arms in Redmire for a friendly welcome and excellent food.

Roomy cottage with plenty of space for children to play inside and out.

The cottage was spacious and well-planned, and felt very homely. Everything felt new and good quality. Great things to do on the doorstep - the walks of course, but our teenage children enjoyed the local waterfalls, the Forbidden Corner and horse riding near Reeth.

The Wheatsheaf Hotel/Pub good food & good value but not open lunchtimes.

The cottage remains cosy and has a high standard of accommodation. It is great for families and has a wonderful location

Very welcoming and cosy cottage, excellently equipped and in a great location for walking locally and exploring further afield.

Lots of guide books/leaflets provided - very good idea.

Barnbrook was excellent in every respect - decor, furnishings & equipment. Its location is ideal for touring the Dales.

Very comfortable cottage. Good walks from the village. Would stay here again when in Wemsleydale.

Wheatsheaf Inn serves excellent food & drink.

A very comfy cosy cottage; would certainly recommend!

Peaceful country retreat,just what we were looking for. We loved the area, have been there many times. Lots of walking..Malham Cove, Ingleton Waterfalls walk, etc. Local pubs serve good food, especially The George at Thoralby and The Old Horn at Swinithwaite.

A nice clean little cottage ideal for any one who enjoys walking or sight seeing in the Dales. Also only two mins away from Aysgarth falls where they filmed Robin Hood Prince of Thieves.
