Outstanding week at the Haybarn Slingsby to celebrate a 70th birthday. We were 3 generations plus a dog. The accommodation had everything we could ask for. The games room was a huge hit along with the hot tub. We would definitely return. Thank you for a memorable stay.

A fantastic weeks holiday for 7 of us with two small dogs in the Hay Barn, Cherrygarth Cottages. Lots of space, excellent accommodation, wonderful location with lots of local walks. Hot tub, games room and sauna all used and enjoyed. Extra comfy beds and great kitchen facilities in luring a lovely welcome basket on arrival. Highly recommend.
