Very quiet and peaceful with great walking from the door. The house was comfortable and clean. We had unseasonably good weather so we could not tell how effective the under floor heating would be in colder temperatures but there is an open fire too for when it does get chilly. Recommend the Foresters Arms and the Wensleydale Heifer.

This property is clean and well maintained. The plumbing fixtures are all modern and working well. Carlton is a attractive, quiet village with a great pub that serves very good food. The owner is a good communicator and easy to work with. I highly recommend this house.

What an amazing cottage to spend a week in exploring the Yorkshire Dales.Perfect location to access it all. The Fish and Chip Van in the village on Thursday night was amazing. Would highly recommend.The cottage has everything you could possibly need and is very comfortable.The only negative was its cleanliness, especially in the bathroom which had hairs I needed to clean up before I could use it. Overall would definitely recommend.

Idyllic rural location with lovely views and still near to a main town for shops. Local community pub in village serving tasty food with a mobile fish & chip shop on Thursday evening which had some of the best ever tasted. Well equipped cottage and comfy sofas and we had a very enjoyable stay in Barn Acre.

We really loved our stay at Barn Acre. Perfect home base for a 12-day visit to the Dales. We even stretched the definition of the Dales, as we visited sites from Whitby up to the beaches of the Lake District. The cottage is very thoughtfully equipped and styled cozily. We loved the kitchen and comfy seating. The washer dryer combination was a ‘life saver’ . The cottage was generally clean, although we would have liked some more attention to details in that regard. The beds are firm, which I appreciated, though on the stiffer side — I could feel the springs slightly. Communication with the hosts via the VRBO-app was pleasant and full of tips and recommendations. This would definitely be our base again for further exploration of this area.

Dales Break

We had a fabulous time at the cottage which is newly renovated and extremely well equipped. The shower is superb! We also loved the open fire. It is the ideal location for exploring the mid Dales and the rain didn’t stop our fun. We would highly recommend this property.

Gorgeous

One of my favourite holiday houses ever. The house has all amenities you could want for a self catering holiday, with plenty of lovely and thoughtful extras. The location is beautiful with plenty of places to see and walk nearby. The owners responded quickly to any messages and the instructions for getting there and check in were excellent. I would wholeheartedly recommend!

Fab stay in Carlton

Very very comfortable with everything you need to cook (handy as there’s only the lovely pub at hand and no shop nearby). Heating works a treat and it’s a relaxing and welcoming place to return to after yet another amazing walk. The generous welcome pack goodies very much appreciated! Thanks again.

Picture perfect

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Barn Acre. The house is beautifully decorated and well equipped. We cooked, we played games by the fire, we slept soundly. We left wanting to return to this lovely house in "God's own country". The Dales are spectacular in Spring - so beautiful, so green (and muddy!) and little lambs everywhere.
