Cobblers Barn Reviews

Noor-ul-ain
The whole family thoroughly enjoyed the stay at Cobblers Barn as there was a lot of space to spend time, play the provided board games and eat together. The place looked even bigger and nicer when we got there compared to the pictures on the website and Karen was extremely welcoming, helping out wherever she could. Hanging out outside was really nice as there is sufficient garden space, outdoor seating and a beautiful view of the countryside. Loved the exposed beams, really added to the interior aesthetic of the place. The hot tub was really relaxing and the perfect way to unwind after a full day of activities. One main issue was with the Internet connectivity, specifically to the TVs and games console. If you're planning on streaming services etc. You won't be able to access them, although connecting via your mobile phone is fine. The service for mobile phone networks within the barn is also problematic, although this is likely down to the coverage in the area which can't really be changed by the host. Also, would feel more secure if there was some sort of covering on the bathroom windows or if they were frostedpatterned as they are quite low in the room. Overall, it was a brilliant stay and would highly recommend Cobblers Barn for your next family holiday!
Hannah
Lovely holiday cottage, perfect for our family week away to celebrate two 30th this year! Loads of room for 3 kids to enjoy the space! One thing we did struggle with was the oven as some of the temperature number had come off, so maybe the instructions close by, and maybe a note in the description of how many stairs are in the property, this didnt matter for us though! Other than that cannot fault the property, hopefully we will be back soon! Very comfy stay for everyone!
Richie
A beautiful property set in a wonderful area of the country. The photos online make it look lovely but it is even better once you arrive and see it in person. So much to see and do in the surrounding area. The arrival, with some little surprises were very well received, thank you. We highly recommend this property, whether you are looking to relax or want a beautiful location to get out and see what the north of England has to offer, this property offers everything and more. Thanks again.
What a lovely place to stay! Spotlessly clean, really well equipped, amazing hot tub what more could you ask! And Karen the host was excellent came to check everything was OK for us and answered a couple of queries no problem at all. Beautiful part of the country to explore as well, can highly recommend

Everything was perfect! A wonderful, well equipped kitchen but we did have problems with the oven & grill regulating the temperature which affected cooking time. All in all a beautiful cottage, & we thoroughly enjoyed our ladies weekend here. Lots of space, very clean, loved the log burner, beds were super comfortable, bedding was fresh & crisp. Hot tub being enclosed was ideal too. Easy communication with the host & a really thoughtful welcome pack, along with fresh bread was a wonderful arrival gift. Thank you so much
An unforgettable family trip made entirely by Cobblers Barn and its beautiful and plentiful facilities. Karen was fantastic from our first conversation, I wouldnt hesitate to recommend your lovely cottage to anyone I know. Ive stayed in many properties via Sykes now and this is by far my favourite. Thank you for having us all, we hope to be back.
Beverly
We had a lovely week with the family herewe filled the house but never lacked for lounge space or dining room space. The kitchen was well equipped and we used the BBQ a couple times. The place was spotless. The owner was friendly and the hot tub a real bonus when youve had a long day out. Thank you to the owner for the welcome biscuits and cake and a wonderful aroma of fresh bread on arrival! Only a slight heads up, there are a few steps down to the kitchen but this didnt bother us. I would definitely book this again as it is a lovely area
Rachel
Lovely place and already booked for next year
One of the nicest property we have have stayed in! ! We have been coming to Mickleton for the last 4 years and can safely say the owners cannot do enough for you. Thank you for an amazing stay.
Second visit here. We absolutely LOVE it here. The barn is spacious clean and has a beautiful cosy feel to it. We had 2025 degree heat all week so a lot of our time was spent in the beautiful garden which lights up on a night. Karen is lovely and friendly and always on hand to help if any problems should arise. If youre thinking about staying here you absolutely should!
Very welcoming treats like freshly baked bread, cake and biscuits were a pleasant surprise. Bedrooms were very spacious, two with lovely ensuites. A bit more detail about the steps between living dining kitchen would have been helpful but it didnt put our group of oldies off! We very much enjoyed our stay.
Katherine
Lovely well equipped property with plenty of space . Everything covered for 8 people, 2 babies & a dog fridge, freezer , washer & dryer. Heating, hot water all available throughout the week. Hot tub fantastic.
Eileen
One of the best equipped houses we have stayed in kitchen wise, which was great because we all like to cook and eat in together. Bedrooms and bathrooms were modern, but still had the lovely exposed beams. Karen the owner was very friendly and goodies on arrival were very welcome.
Lovely place to stay! We were a group of 10 ladies and it was the perfect space for us. The hot tub was a bonus, we used it a lot. The owner, Karen, is really welcoming and cant do enough for you. There was fresh bread in the maker on our arrival, which was a lovely touch. This place is 1010 and Im already recommending it to anyone I can. Theres also a little pub down the road that serves food and its possibly the best pub lunch Ive had!

Me my husband my son his wife and 2 grandchildren spent the weekend in the cottage it was amazing Karen and her brother were very friendly and helpful couldnt do enough for us on arrival we had homemade bread biscuits and cake waiting for us they were lovely there was loads of space very well equipped kitchen books games toys and dvds for kids to watch they loved every minute lovely enclosed garden great for our dogs the hot tub room was great we went to the blacksmiths pub they were very friendly with treats for the dog and sweets for the kids the pizza was delicious all in all we had a fantastic weekend would definitely go back
Cobblers Barn is finished to a very high standard with plenty of seating the dining table and lounge seated our large group really well. The little goodies on arrival like fresh baked bread were welcomed. The house is warm and the bedding luxurious we visited Beamish and High Force but there is so much more to do in the area. The hot tub area is also a great feature.
Great property for a family escape! Big kitchen, large lounge with TV and stove. Garden area well maintained and catches the sun during the day. Large clean indoor hot tub. Only issue if you have elderly with you are the amount of stairs to dining room and kitchen. Also having to park on steep hill is awkward. But village is lovely and has two great individual pubsrestaurant. We would definitely consider a return. Thanks to Karen.
Had a great family holiday in this warm, homely Barn. We stayed for a week and loved every minute of it. Home cooked meals , party games and laughs. Very clean and welcoming . We will definitely return.
Lovely home, lovely welcoming gifts Very clean
Cobblers Barn is lovely, well maintained and managed. Nothing was too much for our hosts to ensure our stay at Cobblers was smooth and enjoyable. Thank you.

Judith
All round excellence. Everything we expected and more. A delightful family holiday for all ten of us, including the dogs.
Karen was very informative prior and during the stay, the accommodation was excellent for the three families meeting up from around the UK. Plus the two dogs. The property is located in a quiet village with the two pubs that both opened, shops are nearby in the next village, plus a great chip shop. The property was ideal for all of us, we have stayed in various locations during our meet up, this was by far the best ever house. Thanks Karen Barry
Carole
Great home for the week, lots of space inside and out and all you need for a relaxed break.
Amazing place for a large group. We all throughly loved staying here.
The cottage was lovely and was appointed superbly and was a genuine pleasure to spend time in. My only gripe and it is a very minor one is the size of the shower in the downstairs ensuite, which was tight for room but it really is a superb place to spend time and Karen was very friendly and the welcome with a freshly baked loaf was exceptional. Could not recommend Cobblers Barn more than by saying we have already booked our return trip.
Jeanette
Fabulous accommodation that suited all of our family needs
