The Shippon in Barden Reviews

Verified Customer Review
16th April 2025
Idyllic location, great place for a family holiday entertaining grandparents and teenagers alike. Immediate access to all the Yorkshire Dales has to offer with the added bonus of staying on a working farm. Incredibly welcoming owners, and a privilege to see the animals on the farm, particularly given the lambs at Easter time.
