Usherwoods Barn, Usherwoods, Tatham, Lancashire, LA2 8PR

From arrival to leaving the barn owner could not do enough for us. A lovely welcome pack was left for us. The barn was clean and just as advertised. As the weather was so warm the owner offered us extra bed sheets as quilts were too hot. Half way through the holiday an extra batch of clean towels were left for us. What a fantastic host! The views are unbelievable, sunsets beautiful from the patio. Such a relaxing atmosphere, just what we we needed. Thank you again.

We had waited a long time to get this break away, as cancelled last year due to covid. We finally arrived and we very excited! As soon as we opened the door, we realised how much we would love this barn and our week away. A large kitchen, beautiful lounge area with door that opens onto one of the best views, which seems endless, a picture postcard, with cows, sheep and chickens dotted around. Sunsets amazing! Bedrooms all lovely, with stone features and comfy bed! Very important! The bonus for us was a week of sunshine! We had breakfast outside and just found peace! We walked, talked, chilled and healed. Fiona, the owner, was lovely and calm. And we just did not want to leave! Even our little stressy terrier who barks at everything! was relaxed, and would sit for ages just looking at the sheep! And also adored going to see the wallabies! We will definately be back!

Sorry I've taken so long to put this review up from when we stayed last September (2017)!

Lovely welcoming cottage, nice and warm on our arrival, lovely large, well equipped kitchen, not that we used it very much.....too many lovely eateries everywhere!!

So peaceful here with fantastic views allround and loads of great walks for our little dog, Poppy who could also mooch around the secure garden! She was fascinated by the wallabies as well!

This house seems to stay nice and warm which is lovely when it's a bit chilly outside to come back to warmth. The beds were very comfy and the shower was good too.

The welcome pack was great to find!

All in all this is a great place to stay......so good in fact we've just rebooked for October, can't wait!!

The location is superb!

It sits just inside the Forest of Bowland AONB, next to the Yorkshire Dales National Park and very close to the Lake District National Park.

We went on long walks over moors and past waterfalls, (and shorter ones) with them and their well-behaved Labrador, Lucy.

We ate in great restaurants, visited Leighton Moss RSPB, and rode the famous Settle-Carlisle railway.

It was a pleasure to return in the evenings to this perfect renovation.

The rooms are large, airy and very tastefully appointed.

There is a log-burner in the lounge, and a barbeque, both of which we made use of.

There are stunning views from the secluded garden (beautifully enclosed with dry-stone walls) on the terrace, which falls away to the lawn, with a delightful cottage-garden border. The cow and sheep-filled fields fall away into the Wenning Valley and rise again majestically to the peaks of Gragareth, Whernside, Ingleborough, and farther east, Pen-y-Ghent.

The views from the bedrooms were even better!

The kitchen looks across the large, gravelled parking area to the paddock, where it is amazing to watch wallabies bounding across the grass as you prepare a meal.

The water is copious, hot and the showers powerful. The massive stone flags on the floor benefit from under-floor heating, and there is a big range cooker, dishwasher, washing machine.

I enjoyed taking Lucy for her morning walk every day, and if your dog doesn't behave, keep it on a lead, as the long drive is lined with sheep fields, and once over the cattle-grid onto the moor, the sheep are wandering freely. Lucy can be walked within feet of sheep without a lead, and behaves impeccably - a real lady.

It really is perfect, and we had a FANTASTIC week.

Great location in the Forest of Bowland with tremendous views. Very clean and very well equipped. Also very spacious with an excellent kitchen and lounge. We only had a short break but hope to return before too long. Plenty to do in the area, and the Ingleton waterfalls walk is a must.

We stayed for our fourth time in September 2016 and back in March 2017.

The location is perfect for exploring the Lakes and Yorkshire Dales, close enough to the small town of High Bentham but also remote and has excellent views.

The property is great for dogs, plenty of room for dog beds in the kitchen and sitting room. There are quiet roads all around which are safe to walk your dog.

The accommodation is first class, has everything you need, a kind of 'home from home'. What we love about the property is that while it sleeps 6, it comfortably seats six in the lounge and also has the benefit of separate bath/shower room facilities for each bedroom, where other rental properties we have researched fall short on living space.

Having dogs, we holiday a lot more in the UK and come back to this property each time because it is perfect and a perfect position for the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales.

The owners are next door although they leave you completely alone but are on had if you need anything.

And of course where else in the UK could you look out of your kitchen window and see the wallaby's jumping around.

The property was beautifully cared for, quiet and the owners were especially kind. The location is perfect for exploring Lancashire and the North Yorkshire Dales. Hadrian's Wall and a bit of Scotland are just a little drive away. There are ample opportunities for hiking and the local village, High Bentham, has great pubs, two grocery stores, a butcher, bakery and even has an Indian takeaway. The home itself is very spacious and well appointed. There are many conveniences in the home that we greatly appreciated. Would definitely give this home a legitimate fi

Set on the edge of the Forest of Bowland, this property offers first class accommodation with all the comforts of home. Dogs are welcome and have the advantage of a secure garden as well as easy access to open countryside. The property provides a cosy return after your day of visiting local attractions ( we stayed in November), is exceptionally spacious, and has been well maintained. The owners were most welcoming and live on site but provide with you complete privacy during your stay. We would highly recommend this property as a base for exploring Lanca

This beautiful property was in a magnificent location with views to match, but within easy driving distance of the nearest town. The property was beautifully furnished and all the fittings were top notch, and the welcome was second to none. We had a wonderful stay and the wallabies kept on the farm were a delight for children to feed. The surrounding area has many places of interest to visit, and going out for walks or staying in and playing games made this property a great spot to stay for so many reasons.
