Swallow Barn, Rough Holden House, Holden Lane, Silsden, Bradford, West Yorkshire, BD20 0LS

This is a lovely cottage in a good location to explore Skipton, Ilkley and the surrounding area.

The underfloor heating worked a treat and made it very snug and comfortable.

The upstairs heating didn?t come on so we had damp towels all week (towel rail stayed cold)...that?s the only thing stopping a 5 rating.

I would definitely recommend.

Swallow Barn has everyone, character, charm. It is beautifully decorated and extremely clean. Has everything you need for a great stay. Including a cool game called who am I? Which the family played one evening. We spent 4 days with our relatives visiting from overseas, A great base for visiting beautiful Yorkshire, Skipton Castle is great, It was lovely to come back to each evening to this comfortable welcoming barn. We all really felt we?d stayed somewhere very special. The owners are very welcoming and told us everything we need to know. Dogs have to be kept on a lead at all times outside because of live stock, that didn?t stop our dog from enjoying himself. Thanks for a lovely break.

We were a large mixed group (aged 4 months to 60 years old) and an 18 month old Yorkshire Terrier called Tobie. We all found Swallow Barn to be an amazing place to stay. The ground floor has the 'wow' factor with the huge sitting area and the view up the stairs to the galleried landing. The whole place was spotless and the facilities are excellent. The sofas are so comfy and there is plenty of seating. The beds are also great and we all had restful sleep (even the baby!)The levels of equipment provided really are first class.

There was a problem with the gas when we arrived that wasn't the fault of the owners but they bought us take away pizza as we couldn't cook. A lack of water for a short period the next day resulted in Sue bringing round two bottles of champagne and chocolates. This was very much appreciated and shows how much they value their customers.

The farm is in a wonderful position on a hillside and so close to some great places to visit. We went to Skipton, Bolton Abbey, Malham Cove, Fountains Abbey, Clitheroe, Ilkley and wished we had more time in this lovely part of Yorkshire. Would love to stay again and we enjoyed meeting Leonard, the farm dog.

Just returned home from a perfect weekend away at Swallow Barn.

We were attending a family wedding in nearby Skipton so decided to book here instead of a hotel. There were 9 adults staying here and we cannot speak highly enough of the place.

It was spotless on arrival and Sue the owner popped in to welcome us but then left us to our own devices all weekend, despite only living next door.

The cottage itself is amazing, the photos really don't do it justice and the under floor heating just topped it off.

The town of Silsden is a good half an hour walk away.

It was my husband's 50th birthday and we were looking for somewhere to stay with a group of 8 friends (5 couples). There are plenty of houses / cottages for 10+ people, but not all with the correct number of bedrooms that would allow 5 couples to be able to stay together. Swallow Barn has 5 double or twin bedrooms, 3 are en suite, so a perfect set up for our group.

The pictures don't do the place justice. The house is huge, open plan downstairs, but still cosy and comfortable. There are plenty of seats for everyone and the kitchen has everything you cou

Celebrating a 50th birthday with friends and family, I can definitely say I couldn't have asked for anything more with regards the facilities, the Barn has been converted to a very high standard, not sure it could be improved upon, underfloor heating, well decorated, amazing open planned layout which allowed everyone to be involved at all times, absolutely spotless and well worth every penny, definitely home from home (actually better), no question I would return for another visit if I get the opportunity
