High Meadow Barn Reviews

Everything was perfect, beautiful big accommodation and we'd love to stay again and a lovely welcome pack

Joanne

We had a lovely stay. We loved High Medow Barn it was very spacious kitchen was big enough for all eight of us as was the lounge area and was warm and cosy. Bedroom are large and comfy, clean beds and bathrooms was great as well. Wished we had stayed longer. The dog had a amazing time to. We would definitely go back again. Just one suggestion the TV could b a bit bigger especially when you have children with you. Thank you for all your info and help.

Rachel

Absolutely wonderful barn, the photos don't do it justice. Warm, cosy and restful, perfect for our group of 2 families. We had a wonderful stay catching up with friends and enjoying the nearby waterfall walks and cheese! The toys and books for the children were an unexpected hit. The star gazing on a clear night was unbelievable! Thank you for having us.

Terence

We stayed at High Meadow Barn for a week in October. The area is lovely to look at & nice and quiet. Lots of the main sites in the the Yorkshire Dales are just a short drive away. The property has been decorated to a high standard with a lovely kitchen and comfortable beds. It was spotlessly clean & has a nice, well maintained garden.

Lovely property in a beautiful location. Everything has been finished to a really high standard and exceptionally comfy beds!. A great base and perfect for hiking we walked straight from the door up Addlebrough and over to the pub in Askrigg. Loads of space inside and large garden behind. Would definitely come back!

We had a wonderful break at High Meadow Barn. It was perfect for our family holiday. The barn is welcoming, immaculate and we especially liked the little nods to its history with original features. It's well positioned for walks and visits to local villages. It's a fabulous place to relax at the end of the day. We will definitely be back!
