Snave Barn Reviews

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.

Location is great for a relaxing time. With great reservoir walk on the doorstep. Barn has everything you need. Beds super comfy with great Bed linen. Barn is really warm With radiators but wood burner makes it even more cosy on a cold winter night with plenty of wood for your stay. Hot tub is a bonus we enjoyed sitting it with snow all around. View of reservoir great for watching wild life even saw barn owls outside of window. Good location for visiting some of yorkshires sites. Owner Hayley was superb staying in contact with us regularly when heavy snow caused us to delay our stay buy a couple of days. Jerry the maintenance guy is so helpful and on hand when needed. Welcome pack is great and much appreciated. Will definitely be going back to see another season of the reservoir.

I cant express how beautiful this property is the location is spot on the decor is amazingly done and it all has the wow factor. It was very clean, warm and inviting. Jerry was very friendly and helpfull such a lovely bloke I have alrealy recommended all 3 cottages barns to friends and family we can't wait to come back and visit. Thank you for sharing this beautiful property Mr and Mrs Smith.

We absolutely loved our stay! Everything was spotless on arrival, and the property is furnished to the highest standard. Thank you for our welcome basket too which had bread, milk, bacon, butter and treats even a bottle of Prosecco and Beers. We couldnt have asked for a better place to stay. Right on the edge of Grimwith reservoir, theres no noise or light pollution and is the perfect setting to unwind. Jerry is very welcoming and nothing is too much of an ask, he really is a credit to the three cottages here. Highly recommend walking around the reservoir 4.5miles. Lots of wildlife too in the area, its gorgeous. We loved our stay so much we have already booked Skyfell the cottage next door same owners so we can bring family along next time. See you again in December cant wait!! Andrew, Emma & Riley the border collie.

Rachel

What a fabulous property in an incredible location! There really is a wow factor as you approach down the track and when you enter the building all of the little touches make it so homely and comfortable. The welcome pack was brilliant and very much appreciated. And having Jerry available for advice and help was brilliant, he is so friendly and welcoming. I will recommend this place to everyone... but will book my next week up first to make sure I get to come back again!!!

This is the 2nd time we have been and the property is lovely and will book again ... This is the 2nd time we have been and the property is lovely and will book again for next year But the water wasn't very hot OK in the showers but not if you wanted to have a bath

An absolutely beautiful property, we had a lovely stay. There was everything in the property we needed. The views are spectacular and that was when the reservoir was at its lowest, so would love to see when filled.

Jerry the caretaker cannot help you enough. He is a great asset to the owners. We have rebooked for 2023 third visit Great place to chill out.

We really enjoyed staying at Snave Barn. The accommodation is of a very high standard with everything you need & has stunning views of the reservoir & surrounding woodland. As we arrived quite late it was lovely to find our log burning hot tub all heated & ready to use plus a fridge & picnic basket full of all the essentials including prosecco & beers! As mentioned by so many, Jerry was friendly & helpful with nothing being too much trouble...I think he needs to start his own fanclub!! Thanks Yorkshire, we'll be back to see you soon.

Harriet

We have just returned from a week at Snave Barn. The location is stunning, it is beautiful, quiet and very private. Lots of nice walks and pretty villages in the area. The standard of decor is very high and it was very clean with everything you would need. Gerry was on hand to answer any questions, he was really informative and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for him. Thank you for a fabulous stay. Would thoroughly recommend.

Catherine

Fantastic property in a beautiful spot. We appreciated the welcome goodies & Jerry's friendly and always helpful assistance. The track to access Snave Barn was fine for us, but it probably won't suit everyone, and it might be worth mentioning this in the property details. We'd also join with others who have commented suggesting the addition of a teapot! All in all, everything was excellent.

Lesley

We had a lovely stay at Snave Barn. It is a very unique property, and we enjoyed our stay there very much.

Beautiful property in the most beautiful of settings. Sykes were terrrific and the grounds man handyman Gerry was so helpful and pleasant to chat to and even kept us fuelled with Prosecco all week

Absolutely outstanding property and location. If you want a true break away from the hustle and bustle this place delivers 100 We will be back.

Denise

Beautiful setting and much needed peace and quite. Big thank you to Jerry for his advice on arrival with the hot tub we all enjoyed the cloudless skies and chilled drinks in the tub.

This is a beautiful retreat . The barn is so comfortable and the view is amazing . Such a peaceful place to escape the world . Gerry made sure the hot tub was nice and warm for our arrival. Lots goodies in the kitchen. Felt really spoilt. We will be back .

If you enjoy isolation in a glorious location then this is for you. We had beautiful weather which did add to the experience but the view looking to the Dales over the Grimwith reservoir with the birdlife was exceptional. The cottage was very well appointed with good heating and hot water etc. Well decorated and furnished throughout with the only negative comment that the decorative Flies on the dining room wall will not be to many peoples taste. We were warmly welcomed and dispatched by Jerry who was great.

Daniel

This was our familys second time at these fantastic cottages. We stayed at skyfell back 2021 and now at Snave Barn in April 2022. This place is really at place to stay. The hole place is lovely. Down to the first time you drive down the lane and spot the houses, truly a wonderful scene.!! The houses are done out to the highest spec, the hole place is just wonderful. This will not be the first last time we go..!

Felicity

Booked Snave Barn for my husbands 60th with the grown up children and their partners as the remote, quiet location appealed. Had a fabulous long weekend, the weather was perfect which did help. Walked around the reservoir every day, stunning scenery and wildlife. The barn is remote, and down a rough track, but worth the drive. The property was superb, couldnt fault anything. The property is a great size and has been sympathetically modernised. The welcome hamper and food in the fridge were greatly appreciated. Jerry was at hand to support whenever needed. A lovely peaceful weekend was had by all apart from when the local geese decided to squabble!

Michael

Everything was just perfect thank you. The Barn is in a unique location and we thoroughly enjoyed the surrounding areas with lovely picturesque walks and proper pubs! The barn was spotless and the welcome goodies were very much appreciated. The gentleman from your team who was in attendance most days was extremely helpful, friendly and could not have done more for us and helped make our week stay so memorable

Excellent accommodation, amazing position and views, excellent friendly service from Jerry the caretaker who couldnt have been more helpful, planning to return later in the year.
