Padley Barn, Hurst, Richmond, North Yorkshire, DL11 7NW

Stunning, away from it all location, with excellent walking from the front door. Wonderfully comfortable and everything we needed or could have needed was provided. We rarely return to a place twice (too many other places to visit) but we definitely plan to return to Padley Barn

The location is absolutely wonderful! In the heart of Swaledale with stunning views of the moors. A great walking area and close to several charming villages. The cottage is very well equipped, extremely comfortable, clean and attractive. You can walk into the beautiful countryside straight from the front door but if you want a pub or a shop you'll need to travel several miles - we loved the peace and quiet. The surrounding moors are home to many sheep, grouse and rabbits and the neighbouring chickens and cat may pay you a visit which our children enjoyed.

The owner is very helpful and responsive and the house contains lots of local information and detailed maps which were very useful.

Padley Barn is the best cottage that we have stayed in, in fact this is our second stay and already planning a third. It is situated in the remote small village of Hurst where you experience peace and tranquillity and just watching all the different birds especially ?Woody? the woodpecker that visit the feeders is so relaxing. Padley Barn is spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything and more than you need for the stay. The welcome pack is a very nice touch. It is extremely comfortable and has the most luxurious bed that I have ever slept in. The village of Reeth is about 5 miles away where you can stock up on any forgotten provisions. Despite being in a remote location the Wi-Fi was very good (probably better than we get at home) and there are plenty of walks from the doorstep so no need to use the car. Can?t wait to visit again next year.

We have just spent a few lovely days at Padley Barn with our family. It is in a beautiful if rather remote location. The cottage is warm and cosy with an impressively well equipped kitchen. I would highly recommend, there are many interesting places to visit nearby and good walking/cycling.

Great Cottage. Had two brilliant weeks. Everything there is of a very high standard and top quality. I have to confess that I only used half of the amazing cooker. Loads of cutlery, plates etc. I only mention this as we've been in many cottages that provide the bare minimum. There's virtually anything that you may need on hand.

We had one hot week followed by a cooler week and then the burner in the "lounge" came into its own. Fantastic. Best and easiest to light fuel burner we've ever had in a cottage.

We booked this as a group of work friends as a weekend away. We were booked for Friday to Sunday night inclusive but only stayed for 2 due to work commitments, It still worked out ery cheap per night! Communication prior to our visit was excellent, every question answered in detail. On arrival to the barn it was very clean, well laid out, tastefully decorated with more than enough facilities (you couldn't get moved for the chopping boards in the kitchen!). There was instructions for everything, bedding and furnishings to the highest standard as well as loads
