About Ingleborough Barn

An outstanding detached barn conversion with a hot tub in its own grounds, set just 250 yards from the owner’s home on their working livestock farm in lovely Dales countryside, just three miles from High Bentham in Yorkshire. This first-class barn conversion enjoys an enviable hillside position with breathtaking views of the Three Peaks and fabulous walks in every direction.

Styled and furnished to a high standard, this fabulous cottage exudes style and character, with modern appliances including underfloor heating from a biomass heating system and solar panels, combined with old beams and exposed stonework. Set within private, spacious grounds, this is an ideal opportunity for friends and family to get away from it all and enjoy this spectacular location, amongst some of the most beautiful scenery in the Yorkshire Dales.

A most unusual and effective layout for a group of friends or large family to benefit from, with the ground floor consisting of two open plan living areas, both boasting individual styling, picture windows to take advantage of the views, woodburning stoves, dining areas and modern well-equipped kitchens with useful utility areas. There are six bedrooms, including two spacious master bedrooms on the ground floor, both with Jack-and-Jill access to facilities (Jack-and-Jill facilities can be accessed from the living areas if required), four first floor bedrooms all served with modern shower rooms and two of the twin rooms can be used as family rooms for three children.

Outside, there is a spacious, enclosed patio and lawned area with a luxurious hot tub, ideally located to sit out and once again take in the majestic views on offer. A great place for everyone to relax, have a drink or two and watch the sun go down.

For those seeking a country retreat amidst beautiful surroundings, this barn conversion really fits the bill, with the famous Three Peaks of Ingleborough, Whernside and Pen-y-ghent just a short drive away, whilst the largely undiscovered Forest of Bowland stretches away to the south, offering a wide range of unspoilt landscapes to explore. Many challenging walks are available from the doorstep, while the Settle-Carlisle Railway is just four miles away at Clapham and the area is blessed with many fine local pubs serving ales and good food.

Ingleborough Barn Reviews

Brilliant time had by all. Absolutely fantastic facilities,everything provided for a great break away. We would love to go back again.
This property is lovely, with great facilities. It's perfect for groups and the owners are so friendly and helpful. We hope to go back again!
This property was ideal for 3 families 6 adults and 5 children with 6 bedrooms split between the 2 linked barns with inside doors allowing free access for the children to play with their cousins. The huge table in one of the kitchens enabled all of us to sit down together for meals. Barn was clean and very comfortable with the underfloor heating and plenty of space bedrooms and living area. The hot tub was a firm favourite and we used it most days even in the rain and hail. Well located, only 30 mins to Morecombe Bowling, Trampoline Park, beach and 30 mins to Ingleborough Cave. All these are worth a visit as well as the Lune Valley Swimming pool at Hornby 15 mins away. For a great meal visit the George and Dragon at Wray, may have to book but food is excellent especially the Lamb Henry. Food shopping Essentials in High Bentham CoOp and Spar and if you are there look out for the Black Pig Cafe Great Coffee and Bacon Sandwich on a wet day. The owner Janet is just down the lane at the Farm if there are any questions which is good to know but we had no problems at all. Would highly recommend
Ideal for for us as a multi generation family staying over Christmas. Pretty awful gales cannot be blamed on owners and we still managed to enjoy the hot tub on several occasions. Might be helpful to include floor plans in the property information so people can be sure the layout will work for them. Also, Sykes cottages needs to sort out its relationship with Vrbo as we originally tried to book through them and were a little concerned that their listing didnt confirm our booking or payments. Lovely property and would like to return to explore the area in warmer months
Maxine
Water issues at property going back 14 months but was supposedly ok to drink. When arrived at property was informed that water had failed a health and safety test but if boiled would be safe to drink. Owner left a 5 litre bottle of water for 10 adults for 3 days!!!! Water tasted disgusting even when boiled. When asked where we could buy more we were told coop in Bentham. No offer to provide us with more. 2 of the beds were not made up. When contacted owner as no sheets could be found. We were made to feel like it was our fault as owner asked 'really, which room is it?' Issues with hot tub on arrival were told was a net was available to fish out any leaves. Lid would not stay on as clips were all broken apparently only a week old. Due to issues with lid it was nearly empty after day 1 and water cold as lid would not stay on so unable to use. Owner did not come to check cleanliness or water levels during the stay. No outside lighting so difficult to use hot tub at night, Paths around barn very slippery, even worse when wet. Would not visit again.
2nd stay at the barn and this time was even better than the first was exactly as we remembered which is what brought us back. Love this stay in every way and thank you Janet for being so helpful and welcoming.
Well kept and maintained property. We were looking for a place which has a cosy cottage feel but also modern kitchen and bathroom facilities which was exactly what we found at Inglebrorough. Secure garden and hot tub with great views was a huge plus point for us. Had a lovely long weekend despite the little inconvenience due to electric outage because of the storm must say the emergency services were very quick to restore it.
e Louise
Fabulous cottage ,well equipped. Hosts were very helpful and acted Swiftly with any requests Farmer was fabulous with everyone ,we could all get involved with milking and the calves ,nothing to much trouble . Fabulous location .
Stephen
Probably the best holiday cottage we have stayed in to date. Top marks in all departments for a large family group with dogs. Modern, plenty of space, comfortable and secure both cottage and grounds. Hot tub a hit with everyone even when raining. Secluded but not too far from places of interest, parks, soft play to keep the children happy. Owners very friendly and helpful. Many thanks for a great week. Would highly recommend.
The property is great, its a huge size and is in a beautiful location with amazing views and a lovely sunset. Only issue for the full weekend was that the water has an off smell which means you cant drink from the tap and it smells when youre showering. It is bearable but is just the only downside really. Other things I would recommend are maybe a few more outside features like a bbq would be a great addition and also more bins to put rubbish in.
Absolutely beautiful property, wonderfully maintained, fantastic facilities, could not fault it one bit. Thank you for a such wonderful memorable weekend.
Anthony
We had a lovely time celebrating my 70th Birthday with family. The grandchildren loved the hot tub. A mix of ages all catered for with plenty of room to accommodate us all both inside and out. 8 adults 5 grandchildren including new baby. Would have been good to have more outside seating for us older ones to relax but overall all had a super stay
An amazing cottage for our large group who were walking the 3 Peaks. Very clean, great facilities and any problems we only had one issue with the hot water were resolved promptly. Great to have the hot tub there as well. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending it.
Had a fantastic weekend, a suprise 60th birthday for my wife, the property was large enough for 8 adults and 5 children. The view's were stunning from all angles. The owners were on hand to provide any help needed. I would highly recommend this property to all my friends and family.
The cottage had amazing scenic views of the three peaks. It was spacious well appointed and great for us as a family group of 10 occupying both cottages with interconnecting doors.The location was superb for both the Dales and the Lakes. The owners were very friendly and accommodating they invited us down to the farm to see the new lambs. We would highly recommend a holiday break there and will would visit again Peter April 2023
Great place to stay for a large group as you are not on top of one another, with lots of space both inside and out to chill out. The facilities are fabulous and the information provided was clear and provided in a timely way. We all really enjoyed the accomodation and will definitely be back.
Katharine
There'd a few maintenance bits and pieces that need taking care of. Light bulbs needing replacement, leak to skylight in upstairs bathroom and a plug to the dos bath that doesn't hold water which made it unusable. However overall we had a great stay.
Suzanne
Thank you for a lovely stay in your beautiful barn and surroundings
Darren
Really enjoyed our stay at the barn. My 60th, 8 adults 6 grandchildren perfect for a large family gathering. Couldn't keep the kids out of the hot tub.
Lynda R
Lovely place to stay whilst my two grandchildren walked the three peaks in memory of my husband Lynda Aldred
Hayley
Amazing property in an outstanding location, with the best views. The children loved looking over the wall at the cows in the next field. The owner was very helpful. The only niggle, which didn't really affect our stay, but could bother others, is the eggy smell that comes everytime water is ran. We went to the shop and bought our own water as some of the family were u comfortable drinking it. Overall though, we were really happy with the house and would definitely visit again.
Robbie
Overall the property is stunning, very comfortable and in a beautiful location so we had an amazing weekend away. The only complaint we would have is the tap water, not sure why but there is clearly sulphur in the source, is it smells extremely eggy, which whilst we were assured it is safe made it very unpleasant to use drink. A little warning ahead of arrival would have been appreciated.
Fabulous property in a stunning location. It was the perfect get away for our family celebration. The only suggestion would be that as we had a couple of elderly family members who are not steady on their feet, nonslip bath mats in showers would have been good.
Comfortable accommodation with beautiful views in a stunning location. Thank you
Extremely comfortable Lots of space in the barn Everything we needed was available Very comfortable beds The biggest draw to family was the hot tub Very well used The two boys where in it straight away . Wonderful location The nearest neighbours where the cows Would definitely recommend to anyone The owners where excellent
Rachel
Amazing find! There was a group of us climbing Scafell Pike for charity and we needed a stop over for two days and the barn was perfect! Great facilities, really clean and everything we needed in the beautiful countryside
Kathryn
We had a fabulous week at Ingleborough Barn. The property had lots of space and was perfect for our large group. Very well equipped, clean and comfortable, The owners were very friendly and extremely accommodating. The children loved to visit their farm and see the animals. We all enjoyed the hot tub! Thank you
Samantha
Super property in a beautiful location! We found some lovely local walks. The rooms were all very nice and comfortable. A welcome pack would be good to signpost to local attractions, walks, restaurants and takeaways. We found a lovely pub, called the Highway Man, a few mikes away. I would definitely recommend the accommodation. We were a party of 12 two families with 6 teenagers amongst us! It was nice to have separate kitchen areas.
Catherine
Lovely and very spacious property. ...teens could have space away from little ones! Very clean and warm. Fabulous views whatever the weather. Basic instructions for washerdryer would have been useful. Very much appreciated the warm welcome to seeing the new born lambs. The only issue with comfort was that I have a lower back problem so the sofas were a bit low and squashy for me personally. Everyone else in the family was fine.
Absolutely excellent property. We hired both halves of the barn to celebrate our Golden Wedding. Really nice location overlooking the 3 peaks and close to the Trough of Bowland. Couple of very nice Restaurants nearby which completed the week. Very well equipped accommodation with everything you need plus a hot tub, which is a short but cold hop in January but worth the effort. Highly recommendable.
A brilliant property and a great weekend away! Facilities were fab and views breathtaking.
Everything was first class about this property,ideal for my 70th birthday. It is an ideal place for families to get together my family loved the place right down to the free firework display would love to return
Nicola
Our group of 3 families had a fabulous time at Ingleborough Barn, plenty of room, very clean, hot tub was perfect for star gazing and lazy evenings. The whole place is perfect for a large gathering and I expect we will be back. We had a wonderful Halloween stay! Only thing I'd say is we couldn't find a clothes maiden and after lots of soggy walks it would have come in handy. Owner was lovely too, thanks so much.
Hot tub was a funny colour when we got there but they came as soon as they could ... Hot tub was a funny colour when we got there but they came as soon as they could and offered us two options we chose the one where hot tub was refilled but we were unable to get in it until the following day so that was a little disappointing
Valerie
Bathroom doors did not lock you could not shoot the bolt in any of them. Rang owner and he came with chisel and improved 2 downstairs this is real basic maintenance. Local soninlaw found a pole to keep heavy adjoining door open, with a deep step to second kitchen. Our men moved table from bottom kitchen up to top kitchen so we could eat together. Upstairs was difficult to ventilate in any sort of heat perhaps a fan or two in each upstairs area would have improved comfort. A larder fridge would have been an enormous asset we had a large order for 13 on Saturday and another on Tuesday, and both times struggled to get everything in the fridges and then they do not run efficiently. We were there for a week and ate in every night and packed lunches. Milk takes up a lot of space on shelves! Freezer space O.K. Pans, large dishes for 1314 were a bit sparse, as were utensils I had taken some of my own after reading previous reviews a bit muddled between the two kitchens. Spare toilet rolls would have been good little girls use a lot!! The garden was excellent for the dogs and the hot tub was a winner for the children and adults. We found the hose to top up the water to the filter level as it began to look murky. On website key to lockable bike store available this was not so owner please check your own website. Some leaflets would have been useful I had collected a few from a previous visit to the area and local daughter and son in law had some local knowledge but others would not be so fortunate. This booking was held over from 2020 and some family had returned from abroad permanently so this was a much anticipated gettogether of our 3 children and their families including a new babe. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms excellent for all of us our first holiday since the Pandemic and it was enjoyed by all.
Richard
Ingleborough Barn is a wonderful place to stay very relaxing! Its located on a working farm so it is surrounded by fields with cows, sheep and a few horses. The Barn is not really in walking distance to any shopspubs, so if you want those amenities on your doorstep, this is probably not the location for you. The Barn itself is fantastic warm, well equipped and big. We hired the whole barn which sleeps up to 12?. There are actually 2 barns joined together, so there are 2 kitchens, 2 living and dining areas and many bathrooms. Each barn has 3 bedrooms 2 upstairs with a shared bathroom and one downstairs with an ensuiteJack and Gill doors. The Barn would be brilliant for 2 families who wanted to share but also have their own space. The garden is safe and closed off with gates, chatting with the cows over the wall is good fun and the sunsets were amazing! The Barn is well equipped, was clean and very homely. There are a number of good walks nearby infrom the villages of Ingleborough, Clapham and Austwick and good pubs in Bentham and Wray. We would definitely stay again if we can find any availability!!
Pamela
Fabulous property. It would have been helpful to have more information about the equipment in the property and local services and places of interest. We wondered if this was COVID regulations.
Angela
We had a well earned break away in this lovely property. Perfect location. Great base for exploring the surrounding area. Only negative feedback maybe could have done with some more kitchen equipment. Normally we would eat out but due to Covid we dined in every night. Would not put us off returning. We will definitely be back in the future. Well done to the owners and thank you from the Cumbrian ladies. we really did have a fabulous time.
Lack of information ie wi fi code & hot tub use
Michael
Beautiful location and the barn had plenty of space. The owners were really helpful and their instructions were clear.

Located in the Milnthorpe area of Cumbria we love this local attraction.  With an eclectic mix of fascinating wildlife and hands on displays this centre is educational as well as fun.  You can wander around at leisure admiring the exhibits which range from chameleons to computers. Some of the most threatened species are kept at the park as part if international breeding programmes.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs which are great value for money.  There are discounts for pre-booked parties of 12 or more.

Happy Mount Park has attractions for the whole family including several play areas, a miniature railway, crazy golf, putting green and trampolines, there is also a paddling pool where the little ones can splash around in the summer and a café where the adults can relax with a drink. During the summer months and especially during school holidays live music can often be enjoyed.
Bowland Wild Boar Park - PR3 2QT
about 13 Miles
Head for the Bowland Wild Boar park and we don't think you will be disappointed.  A popular attraction in Preston there is so much to do for the whole family.  From picnics, walks and wildlife to experiencing feeding the animals you are sure to have a memorable day out.  Also popular is the kids tractor play area.  For rest and relaxation the cafe is ideal serving hot drinks and snacks with a lovely view over the pond and wildlife feeding station.  The Forest of Bowland has been declared an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU
about 25 Miles

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals.  Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area.  Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos.  At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed.  Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.

Rydal Mount & Gardens - LA22 9LU
about 29 Miles
Rydal Mount & Gardens are wonderfully situated between Lake Windermere and Rydal Water offering breathtaking scenery. The home of William Wordsworth from 1813 - 1850 the grand home is now lived in by the poets descendents but parts of the house and grounds are open to the public. Why not take a guided tour and see the rooms where many of the famous poems were written. The gardens are beautiful at all times of the year but in the summer offer a spectacular display of colour. There is also a gallery and a tearoom. Discounts are available for group bookings.
