Snave Barn Reviews

Gabrielle

Thank you for a wonderful holiday Snave barn was a great place to stay for comfort the magnificent views. Jerry was great at communicating with us and made sure we had all we needed. The welcome pack was the best we ever had. We were sad to leave and look forward to booking our next stay.

Gareth

Stunning location, beautiful, comfortable and well appointed property.

Another fabulous break in this stunning location! The high standards of decor and facilities made this an ideal choice and the welcome pack really appreciated! We were treated to a week if glorious weather too, so walked each day, which the dog particularly loved. Absolutely ideal!

Snave barn is spacious, clean and beautifully decorated, with everything you could possibly need and more. The welcome basket was very much appreciated too, its touches like this that make this property outstanding. Its location is on the edge of Grimwith Reservoir and its stunning if you want peace and quiet, with no light or noise pollution this is the place to stay. The 4.5mile walk around the reservoir I also recommend, with plenty of wildlife. the owls are beautiful Gerry the caretaker is knowledgeable and on hand if you need him, he had our hot tub heated ready for our arrival which we really appreciated. We are gutted to be back home but cant wait to go back, of all the cottages weve stayed in this is our absolute favourite. 1010

Andrew

We enjoyed a great week at Snave Barn superb accommodation in such a rural & remote location. The Dales are a lovely part of the country and easily explored from Grimwith. The hot tub was an added bonus although you need plan ahead to ensure it is at an ideal temperature! Jerry was available, if needed, and proved an invaluable asset to the cottages and was helpful throughout our stay. We would love to return at some point in the future. Andrew, Anna & Skye

We booked all 3 properties together for a getaway with friends and had the best stay on Grimwith Reservoir. The properties themselves were spotless on arrival, and exactly as described on the listing. Jerry was very helpful and always on hand if we had any questions or wanted advice, and also got the hot tubs nice and hot for our arrival. We had everything we needed already there meaning we only had to bring clothes, food and drink, and the welcome hamper was also a nice touch. The location itself is amazing with a nice walking route around the reservoir and also longer routes to nearby villages where we found some great local pubs, shops and takeaways. This is my second time visiting this property and definitely wont be the last. It really does cater for all and cannot recommend it enough!

Such a peaceful & comfortable place when one wants to get away from the busyness of day to day stuff. A real asset having Jerry the caretaker. His pre visit phone call with tips was very valuable, as was his presence early on to ensure hot tub optimisation and answer my queries. Then again on check out morning do we knew what we needed to do.

Everything about this place was amazing, Gerry was fantastic and couldn't have been more helpful. would highly recommend !!

Verity

We enjoyed a wonderful week in Snave Barn. The property is spacious, luxurious and immaculately clean. We appreciated the welcome pack on arrival and the house was well equipped for our family of 5. The setting is very peaceful and we enjoyed a quiet walk around the reservoir. The hot tub was loved by us through the week as we spent time relaxing through the evening. We enjoyed day trips nearby with the Stump Cross caverns being a particular hit with the children along with Fountain Abbey National Trust and Grassington.

Jerry couldnt have been more welcoming and the property was absolutely stunning. I'd expect to pay double the price we did for the experience we had.

This was our second holiday here. Such a relaxing place. Beautiful views. Well equipped.

Ronnie

Excellent property in wonderful location. Gerry was onsite most days and went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable. Relaxing location with walks, wildlife and remoteness yet close to the Yorkshire Dales and many activities. The hot tub was a real highlight and thanks to Gerry for his help with this.

Charles

What a magical stay! Snave Barn is a wonderfully secluded cottage right on the edge of the reservoir. Its brilliantly equipped we hosted a family party for 13 with the equipment provided and seriously peaceful. Hot tub is sheltered around the back of the building so you dont get blown away!. Jerry who looks after the place is really helpful.

Hellen

Amazing place to stay would highly recommend loved every minute. Accommodation was Big with everything you need plus more the walk in shower in master bedroom was Lovely. Would highly recommend & Definitely will be going back 5

Beautiful place to stop in a very quiet and picturesque area. Jerry was very informative and helpful too. We will be back to stay again.

We had a lovely stay. Its a beautiful cottage in an area of outstanding beauty Jerry was very helpful and responsive Thank you We hope to go back again!

From arrival to the departure, there is nothing I can fault. This was our 2nd time staying here. This time, we hired all 3 houses as a family get together. The welcome packs in each house were amazing, with everything you needed. Jerry was great, calling to check we had all got in ok, and there is we needed anything during our stay. Thankyou again, we will be back soon!

What an incredible place to stay! The setting is amazing and very calming. The accommodation was so comfortable, with everything you could possibly need. The hot tub was an added bonus. We met Jerry, the site manager, on arrival. He was so helpful and had already heated the hot tub for us and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be returning.

Snave Barn did not disappoint. Beautiful remote location with an exceptionally well appointed kitchen and plenty of logs to keep the fires burning. The welcome hamper was a thoughtful touch as well. Cant wait to stay again in summer 5

Lynsey

Excellent property in stunning tranquil location. Shame the first choice property was cancelled at 1730 the day before check in. This was compiled further after being given an emergency contact number to resolve our booking which was a maintenance number! Overall very poor service from Sykes but fortunately the property has at least salvaged some positives.

Another great week at the Barn. It was our third visit, still as amazing as ever and we can't wait to go back. Many thanks to Jerry for all his knowledge & hospitality. See you in 2024!

Rachel

Such a wonderful place, this was our second visit and won't be our last. The cottage itself is a beautiful and comfortable space to relax , with glorious views across the reservoir. We were lucky enough to get snowed in for a couple of days whilst there, helping us to switch off completely and just enjoy the walks around the reservoir and the peace and quiet whilst watching the barn owls hunt.

Hilary

Wow what an amazing place! Very comfortable and everything you would need. Lovely welcome pack for us and our dog. Lovely view over the reservoir. Would definitely love to go back.

Within 2 hours of walking in the property we booked for Christmas 2024. Absolutely loved every second of our trip, the kitchen was very well equipped and the bedrooms were perfect. Can't wait to return I should imagine we will be back way before our 2024 booking. The host was very helpful and the remoteness of the place was magic. Thanks very much, would recommend a thousand times over

Antony

Truly, great place to say, very clean & tidy and excellent location, everything about the stay was impressive will definitely be going back soon ! Thankyou !

Had the best week here. Friends, fun walks and a beautiful setting. Hot tubs brilliant!

Vanessa

Really lovely property. Extremely spacious, clean and every you need in the kitchen. Main essentials were available for us such as bread porridge milk bacon butter etc even sweet treats for us and dog treats if we had one, a bottle of fizz was waiting for us too! Highly recommend this place if you want a recharge from daily life. Hot tub ready heated for us by the great maintenance man. Walk around the reservoir took about 1 hr 45 mins but well worth it. Definitely will return

Richard

We loved our week at Snave Barn. Amazing location, and wonderful property. Really appreciated all the little luxuries. We'll definitely be back!

Robert

Snave barn was absolutely perfect . Stayed with our son daughter in law our little grandson and dog everything we needed was provided high chair cot washer drier lots of space for our energetic toddler to run around so comfortable clean relaxing beautiful walks around the reservoir and a relaxing dip in the hot tub in the evenings was the icing on the cake what more can we say other than we will be back

One small neg point 1st impressions on entering the property Cleanliness The floor of the downstairs looshower room looks as though it it dirty i. E., what looks like drip marks on the floor, along the wall, to the left as you walk in, and at other places. BUT these marks do not rub off easily. Can these dirty marks be scrubbedpolished off? Also, it would be helpful if there was a mirror in this downstairs bathroom. No other feedback really everything was just wonderful..

The barn is beautifully furnished and was very comfortable for our family of four and dog. The welcome pack contained not only practical items but lovely treats too! The barn is set in a wonderfully remote location yet still within easy reach of places we wanted to visit, such as Malham Cove, Aysgarth Falls and Harrogate. We loved the walk around the reservoir, watching the barn owls and relaxing in the hot tub after a day of exploring. Many thanks Jerry.

Graham

Stunning location and first class accommodation. Would highly recommend.

Kathyrn

We loved our time at Snave Barn. I can't speak highly enough. For somewhere so remove, we weren't short of wifi. The kitchen is stocked full and the extras given as a welcome were wonderful. Lastly Jerry the caretaker was wonderful, so helpful and he is a credit to the cottage owners. We really didn't want to leave. It truely felt like a home from home. We will be back. Thankyou for recharging us Grimwith cottages.

The property was even better than we expected. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The group of three properties was truly remote and enjoyed a fabulous location. It was comfortable and well kitted out and it was large. Much larger than we expected. Of particular interest were the number and variety of birds we were able to see through the windows and watching the young fledglings was a joy.

Hannah

Amazing location. Clean spacious property.

Andrew

The barn is in a gorgeous location, really remote and an ideal place to go switch off. We had the master bedroom with the on suite and the bed was SO comfy! Hot tub was fabulous and we met some on site staff who were all really friendly. The welcome basket was a nice touch. Thank you. A couple of things we found not so great General cleanliness wasnt of a high standard, felt like the property would really benefit from a regular deep clean. We found the fridge quite small, the space in the kitchen could be better utilised providing a larger fridge and perhaps an additional wine fridge too. No many pots and pans available for cooking, perhaps a list could be provided so guests knew to bring extra if needed. The living room is a great size but there isnt really enough seating for 6 people to sit and lounge comfortably, would be better to have more sofaschairs. The hanging chairs felt decorative rather than useful. Providing a light and easy to use stick for opening the Velux windows would be handy.

All great, no negatives ! The lovely introduction to the accommodation by the owner, the little touches like the hamper and everything throughout the duration of our stay was fantastic ! Thank you

Absolutely idyllic location and the property is top notch. Very clean and comfortable nice welcoming pack and Jerry very helpful and approachable. We will certainly be back.

Had an extremely enjoyable stay. The Barn was everything I hoped for and more. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys amazing scenery. I would happily go back again.

Anthony

IT WAS EXACTLY AS YOU STATED AND DIDNT DISAPOINT THE LOCATION ON THE BANK OF THE RESAVOIR WAS GREAT WE ALL HAD AN AMAZING TIME THANKYOU.
