Rough Bank Barn Reviews

Really superb property. Very happy with our stay and would recommend to others. Feedback 1 vent in ensuite bathroom not working. 2 Should have some glass rather than plastic wine glasses.

What a fabulous place for a family get together. The quality of the barn is first class. The hot tub and BBQ cabin were wonderful additions. The garden and house was dog friendly with amazing views and walks on the doorstep. The house being decorated for Christmas was lovely. The owners have thought of everything to offer the best stay and we could not have wished for anything better. Thank you!

All the family reported being delighted with this great property and facilities. bedding and towels lovely quality. underfloor heating provided welcome warmth. hot tub wonderful. we enjoyed the local reservoir for walksruns. a few challenges reported for our relative who is wheelchairdependent. She can walk a limited distance with support, this was essential. She could not access any showers due to steps. for those unable to mobilise they would have faced more difficulties. using the aga for cooking was a bit challenging for the inexperienced baking cakes and heating oil for frying but we ate well!

We had such a wonderful stay, all needs catered for and perfect for little children, dogs and adults. Thank you for being wonderful hosts. We particularly loved having the fire pit shed and the open plan kitchen, dining, living. Ruth and David were so helpful prior to coming and even once there too, responding very quickly to any questions. We'd love to come back again!

Angela

So much more than a holiday cottage it was a home from home. Everything we could need was provided, house was cosy and warm, decor excellent and the hot tub and bbq hut made for a memorable birthday celebration with friends. We are already recommending to other friends and family.

Lyndsay

Fantastic stay with friends The barn is equipped with everything you need and ... Fantastic stay with friends The barn is equipped with everything you need and the bbq hut was an added bonus Communication from Ruth prior during and after our visit Five stars

Wow, what a fantastic property that blew us all away. Accommodation was beautiful very tasteful. 8 adults and 4 children plenty of room for everyone. We had our dog with us he too loved being with all the family. Children and adults enjoyed the hot tub it was used by all. We celebrated my husbands 70th birthday and had a fabulous weekend.

Nicholas

Brilliant stay, amazing property and fantastic garden for the kids, dogs and adults to play in. Hot tub and BBQ hut are excellent !! We will be back 55

Theresa

We have had a lovely week at Rough Bank Barn. The house is lovely and cosy with brilliant facilities. The photos online do not do it justice. The house and garden are huge and in a private quiet area surrounded by the most gorgeous mountains and scenery. We couldnt fault it as the owners have thought of everything and provided so much down to cosy beds for our dogs. The bbq hut and hot tub hot were delightful and made good use of when the weather was a bit wet. Beds are luxurious and cosy and everywhere decorated lovely and bathrooms high spec. Barn in easy reach of great locations to visit or walks that are right on the doorstep of the barn. Can highly recommend staying here.

We had an amazing stay and Ruth and David were very friendly and welcoming to us, we would definitely come back! The barn is beautiful as is the garden and hot tub area with amazing views

Lindsey

A beautiful place with great hosts! Prior to arrival contacted Ruth she was great and provided lots of useful information. There was 8 of us and we had a fantastic time great value for the money.

An amazing property superb for family holidays with all the amenities you need! Fantastic owners who will help with anything.

Fantastic weekend in a truly wonderful property, the photos do not do it justice! The hobbit house with the log burner and the hot tub were unique and very cosy and the standard of the bedrooms and facilities were exactly what I wanted for my 40th birthday with my friends. Thank you so much

A brilliant February half term stay, a lovely place for 3 families with their 2 dogs to enjoy a get together. A good size for everyone to enjoy their own space. Some lovely walks on the doorstep.

Amazing! 3 families equalled 11 people & 2 dogs. Plenty of room, even in the bbq hut. From pictures it looked like it wouldnt fit us all, but it did with room to spare! Big hit along with hot tub. Amazing views . Highly recommend the Cedar Tree for a meal. We will be back

The property was lovely, David and Ruth on hand to deal with any queries if required. The setup suited the three families, felt like we had our own wings, Hot tub well used along with the BBQ hut which was a great experience for us all. Lovely walks on your doorstep, Highly recommend

Rough Bank Barn was everything we could have hoped for. Property was very clean. There was more than enough space for 12 people. Because the weather wasn't so good we had to spend more time indoors that we would have liked, but the selection of books and games kept everyone amused. The facilities were excellent, and the quality of the kitchen utensils and crockery was very good. The owners were very helpful, and we are hoping to return in the future.

Felicity Ann

Amazing property, it had everything we needed and more! The location is perfect and views around the property are lovely. We all had a fantastic time and looking forward to hopefully staying again in the future

Geoffrey

The barn was clean on arrival and is well equipped. The beds are comfortable and there is lots of room in all the bedrooms for storage. The showers are powerful and the jacuzzi baths were nice to use. The views around the barn are lovely and it well tucked away from the town, so it is very peaceful. The garden is very dog friendly and the owners leave towels for dogs for wiping muddy paws. We enjoyed using the BBQ hut! The owners were very quick to respond to any queries issues we had and have excellent local knowledge. The tram, in the town, is really convenient for getting into the centre of Manchester, only takes 45 minutes and is easy and cheap to use. There is lots of countryside around, so although you are close to lots of big towns and cities you can get away from it all. The main villages tourist attractions of the Peak District are about 75 minutes away. Only improvements I would suggest, would be more cupboards for storage of food and a welcome pack. Also, either an airer or washing line to enable you to dry clothes outside. The barn is ideal for big groups looking to get away together.

Alison

Lovely property, beautiful rural views and a lovely large well tended garden which we would have used a lot more had the weather been better! Second fridgefreezer for overflow fooddrinks would have been very useful. And a bigger kettleteapotcoffee pot. Aga door very difficult to access. Hot tub and BBQ hut a great addition and used lots! Plenty of space for everyone, and good WiFi. Good for folk with reduced mobility and our dogs were made very welcome. Ideal for our multigenerational family get toge

Gorgeous house with gorgeous views 1010 would stay again!

A fantastic stay with brilliant facilities. Beautiful house and so comfortable. The host was great and responded so quickly to messages. We have already booked to go again next year.

Fantastic property, we absolutely loved our stay! The owners were really helpful and friendly! The only thing we hadnt appreciated about the property was that the ensuite on the first floor is off the room with the smaller double, not the king size ziplink.

Christopher

We stayed at the Barn for one week and had an amazing time. Very warm and comfortable with everything that was needed for such a large and diverse party that we were. The hot tub and BBQ are first class and well looked after by the owners the chemical levels in the hot tub are checked daily for example. The owners were on hand to help us and kept in touch to ensure everything was going well would highly recommend this property to stay in.

Beverley

Lovely cottage, as described. Layout ideal for et togethers. Bedrooms were beautiful. Ensuites bathrooms were very luxurious and to a very high standard. The garden space was ideal and lends itself to sunny days chilling with friends. The bbq area is enclosed so ideal to take late night parties and chats. Beau home and would definitely stay again. Xx

Jacqueline

We had the best time at this amazing venue. The owners made sure everything was perfect for our stay. They were on hand if we needed them, not that we did. We would highly recommend Rough Bank Barn.

Leanne

Beautiful house. Owners couldnt be more helpful. Had a fantastic stay. Thank you very much

Tiffany

Wow the pictures do not do this place justice! What a beautiful property in the most picturesque setting. We loved every moment of our trip and will recommend to all family and friends cant wait to return at some point in the future!

Andrew

Well, where do I start! . This place absolutely exceeded all of our expectations. The interior and exterior were finished to the highest standard and the whole place was immaculately clean. Ruth and David the owners were always available to call or ask round should you need anything. They are a great couple too and great for the craic. David tends to the hot tub every day and even asks before he enters his own garden which is really respectful given they own it!. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone and dont forget to visit Ruths shoe shop too in the nearby village. I would class Ruth and David as new found friends now which is another bonus. Our 2 four legged friends, Tommy and Lola loved it too.

The photos dont do the cottage justice, its just a lovely place with fantastic views. We had a family get together over new year covering ages from 8 to 70 and everyone loved it. The hostsRuth and David are very helpful and welcoming, we will definitely be coming back.

A wonderful place to celebrate any event and for us a luxurious stay for the whole family enabling us to enjoy both their company, the Santa Special on the East Lancs Railway from Bury and then the company of friends when the children and grandchildren went home after the weekend. Hot tub and BBQ Hut used in December an extra bonus!

We had a superb time. Ruth and David were extremly helpful when needed. The photos do not do the property justice at all and it is even better than we had imagined.

Excellent stay for 11 of us, all adults and there was plenty of room. Loved the BBQ hut, we all want one now! Hot tub was very clean and welcoming. Owners were very helpful with quick reply to questions. Very, very well equipped, although would have liked a teapot. but it wasn't a problem. Very warm, didn't need to light the fire. REALY comfortable beds. Our 2 dogs loved the garden and managed to stay out of the pond....a concern of mine before we went, but its so well designed he didn't even try. loved the aga. We had a few walks from the property so no need to use your car, although the steep hill and cobbles up to it might be a problem if your unsteady on your feet. There are so many good things I could say about this place. Location was a big plus, so many things to do without going far. Adventure now, Stonerig Raceway Scalextric, climbing wall, theatre as well as the countryside on your doorstep. Something for everyone. we managed to do it all.

Christine

Lovely holiday, thank you so much.

Amazing house with amazing views. If anything, the photos dont do it justice! The owners are also super helpful

Kimberley

Beautiful accommodation, well equipped and homely. Loved the bbq hut and the hot tub!

Rebecca

Beautiful house! Perfect for all 11 of us plus 2 dogs. The house was very clean and had extremely comfortable beds. Owners were lovely and friendly and couldnt do enough for us.

Fantastic property, great location, lovely owners

Yassar

We had a wonderful time at Rough bank barn, quiet and peaceful location, beautiful garden, stunning view and all amenities within the cottage, a real home from home. The owner, lovely Ruth was very friendly and helpful. Did not want to leave and definately will be going back.

This was a lovely barn! The views were incredible and the barn itself was spacious both indoor and outdoor. The owners were super friendly and helpful prior to check in and throughout our stay! We are looking forward to rebooking this in the future
