The Hay Barn Reviews

Our stay at the Hay Barn was perfect, it was so warm, the under floor heating was a real treat considering it was February & the house was immaculately clean & well equipped, Jill had thoughtfully provided us with a generous welcome starter pack too. We visited the Hare & Hounds pub in Fishlake twice which is only a 15 minute walk from the house & serves quality home made meals. We highly recommend this home from home property.
Gordon
We had a wonderful few days at the Haybarn with our extended family. It is in a beautiful setting and the accommodation and amenities are of a very high standard and spotlessly clean. The beds are extremely comfortable with quality bedding. The Haybarn is equipped with everything and more that is needed and thank you for the generous welcome pack. The hot tub with it's magical lighting, the table tennis and outdoor toys are great fun for all ages. Gill our host was very welcoming and went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. We would hope to stay again in the future. There is lots to do in the area. Many, many thanks
Esther
We had a lovely weekend at the Hay Barn. The barn was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing time together. Communication from Jill was excellent and there was a lovely welcome pack. Location was peaceful but within walking distance of the village cafe and pub. We have stayed in many places and this is definitely one wed not hesitate to return to.
Just returned from a fantastic weekend celebrating birthdays at this beautiful house. The Haybarn was spotless, it had every amenity you would need, very spacious for our family of 8, the outside area with hot tub, table tennis and BBQ was a big hit. We were blessed with good weather, and the village with the brilliant pub within walking distance was lovely. Great location to explore Yorkshire for days out but the house was so lovely we could have stayed in all weekend! Jill was very attentive and friendly, a great host, would 100 recommend this property
Catherine
What a gorgeous, spacious property. We will definitely be back with the dogs who loved the garden.
Francesca
Absolutely loved our family weekend here! Were already talking about booking again next year!
Vincenza
We stayed with all the family and grandchildren, The Hay Barn was very spacious and set in rural surroundings, with a lovely garden and outdoor activities for the boys. We had a lovely welcoming selection of goodies and wine, thank you. The table tennis and rackets were a great hit, even though we didnt have any shuttlecocks they found a ping pong ball to play with. It was beautiful and tranquil, wonderful seeing the rabbits and squirrels so close to us. The walks were amazing, enjoyed by all, including the dogs! The bedrooms were very comfortable as was the lounge. Kitchen was large and well equipped. The hot tub was a big hit with everyone and Jill checked on it daily. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend. We hope to come again next year!
Pauline
The Hay Barn was the perfect dwelling for our family get together. The outdoor garden gave us the space for socialising, games and activities or just relaxing. Indoor space was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Jill the owner was very welcoming and accommodating. An incredibly enjoyable week.
Beautiful property. Clean and very spacious, There were no ride on toys but Gill did bring round a table tennis table which kept the boys entertained. Hot tub was great and was checked on a daily basis by Gill. Very comfortable large beds. Would definitely recommend a stay here.
Lovely, spacious cottage in a peaceful location. All modcons. Good wifi. A couple of nice pubs within walking distance. I would highly recommend it for a short break.
Joanna
The property is lovely, well equipped and we found it very clean and tidy. The location is quite rural but very easy to get to lots of different places. Bedrooms are very spacious & beds are very comfortable.
Beautiful house, lovely & peaceful. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay with friends
Fabulous place, loving sociable living area, garden and hot tub
The Hay Barn is simply beautiful, the whole place is relaxing and peaceful. The garden space is perfect and Jill provided some entertainment for the children, with ride on tractors and tennis rackets etc. which was a wonderful touch. Jill checked the hot tub was safe to use every day and was always friendly and welcoming. We loved the location. Waking up to see the rabbits bouncing around the fields and the calfs with their mothers was really lovely. The Hare & Hounds pub is walking distance and the food is delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend. Thank you Jill! We hope to see you again next year!
Patrick
Jill was a brilliant and helpful host. Very communicative and had really thought about the little things to make sure the property was well equipped to our needs
Wow! what can we say the Hay Barn is absolutely wonderful! We stayed here as 3 families with small children, everything was perfect from the peaceful location to the enclosed garden and Hot tub. we cannot fault at all and will definitely be returning. Thanks to Jill for being on hand for anything we may need or any questions we had during our stay.
We had 3 families staying together over the bank holiday and The Hay Barn was absolutely perfect. Like other reviews the home is even nicer in person than the pictures with plenty of space outside and inside for everyone. Everything was clearly explained on how to use, we had a bbq, roast and had everything we needed all weekend. The hot tub was a fab addition to our weekend. Lots of lovely local places and walks to check out & Jill was easily contactable and so helpful throughout our stay. Thank you Jill!
Kathryn
Fantastic property and wonderful hosts would absolutely love to stay again!
Sharon
First class accommodation. Worked really well for family gathering. Clean, comfortable, welcoming and very well equipped. Jacuzzi made a great gathering point even when it was cold!! Thanks for a great weekend!
Fantastic property, everything we needed and very clean. Plenty of space for 9 of us. Both the inside and outside were impressive. We all enjoyed the hot tub and there was plenty of outside furniture for us to eat in the garden, the first time this year! Jill was very helpful and there were some welcome treats for us. Would 100 recommend staying here.
Perfect house for us and Jill the owner was lovely.
Rebecca
Jill and John made our holiday so comfortable. They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed and more there were floods and the made the stay fun and possible!. We will definitely go back. The property was immaculate and so well equipped. The decor was tasteful and not over cluttered. We slept, ate, played and rested well.
Gorgeous house, lots of space, fab hottub. Has everything needed. Owner friendly and there if any concerns
Mohsin
We had a lovey stay at The Hay Barn in Fishlake. The 4 bedroom barn was perfect for the six of us who were looking for a spacious modern property for a weekend of relaxing away in the countryside. The Hay Barn is a very modern property and the owners have really thought about balancing modern facilities whilst still retaining the original charm of the barn. The kitchen is equipped with AEG appliances, the bathrooms have excellent showers with good water flow and the large smart TV is great for watching a movie at the end of the day. The garden is a great place for a BBQ, breakfast or any kind of dining and with the added canopy, you have some shelter from the elements. One of the property highlights is a huge, modern hot tub which was prepared for us by the owner and checked during our stay. A great addition and something which separates this property from ones we have stayed at in the past. Overall, a great property for larger families or large groups wanting to spend time relaxing in a modern facility within the countryside. Thank you Gill and Jack for your hospitality!
Nicholas
Brilliant property and lovely people! Probably even nicer in person than the pictures. House was really spacious and very clean. Plenty of space in the garden and lovely space to sit around and BBQ as well as the hot tub of course. Nice little village with a pub and a caf, would highly highly recommend staying at the Hay Barn.
It was a beautiful house, we had lovely weather and got to enjoy the garden which had fabulous facilities. The hot tub was lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Jill the host was so kind and looked after us very well. Thank you so much. Our two young boys and dog loved it and wanted to stay!
Absolutely amazing stay. Couldn't fault the cottage at all. We will return without hesitation
Superb accommodation and very comfortable throughout. We had a great family reunion and a relaxing stay. Lots of animals locally for the kids to enjoy and they loved the freedom to cycle safely in the lane. The courtyard garden is lovely and the hot tub was very well used The owner ,Jill was very helpful. We'd all like to return some day.
We had an absolutely fantastic stay! The property is beautiful, the pictures really don't do it justice. We will definitely be booking to return to The Hay Barn.
Sheena
The Hay Barn is a beautiful property in a lovely rural setting & was the perfect place for 3 generations of our family to spend time together. The interior is stunning, very spacious with great features such as exposed brickwork, beams in the bedrooms & deep window sills ideal window seats to gaze out at the surrounding countryside views. The finish is superb and quality of furnishings, fittings, linens outstanding. Above all it feels homely and welcoming. Everything has been provided that guests could possibly need, along with some unexpected little treats on arrival a lovely touch from our host. Photographs dont really do it justice we loved the look from the pictures but in the flesh so to speak The Hay Barn is so much more impressive. The outside space is delightful & compliments the property. A large courtyard style area with a beautiful raised flower bed, lawn, a range of seating areas and even some ride on toys for the youngest guests. Though previously a hot tub could be could be hired in via the owner, the addition of a large permanent hot tub is a huge bonus and really added a touch of luxury to our stay. Fishlake is a rural village but there are plenty of places to visit it & things to do within a short distance. Lots of lovely walks, a luxury day spa on the doorstep, farmwildlife parks as well as places to go out to eat. Jill the owner was a perfect host very friendly, helpful & responsive. She contacted me personally ahead of our stay and was very quick replying to any questions. We also really appreciated her suggestions for places to visit with our granddaughter. We had the pleasure of meeting Jill with her friend on arrival they were most welcoming just what we needed after a drive in awful weather! Thank you again Jill for a wonderful birthday break with our family & being such a great host. We all loved our time at The Hay Barn & wouldnt hesitate to recommend it.
Francoise
Very comfortable stay, beautifully decorated and very well equipped. Lovely location. Some lovely little local walks directly from the barn. Our host Jill was extremely helpful and the enclosed area outside was perfect with the dog. Nice village cafe and the Old George Inn just down the road was great for a a family pub meal and dog friendly too.
Property is excellent. Surrounding area is a bit limiting.
The Hay Barn is in a fabulous location the place itself is very comfortable, high spec furniture and fittings, extremely comfortable . We enjoyed family time together , Jill the owner ensured everything was ready for us when we arrived . Well worth the cost highly recommended , however as other comments I would not recommend Sykes cottages.
We really enjoyed our stay at The Hay Barn! The cottage was beautiful and extremely comfortable and Jill was an excellent host going out of her way to assist us. Would recommend 100
Hayley
We stayed for 5 nights5 generations of my familyranging from ages 15 months to 88 years old! Would highly recommend the Hay barn as a place to stay but not Sykes as a company. Listing was incorrect . But the Hay Barn was lovely. Lovely peaceful spot in the the countryside. Everything we needed was in the house. Even some childs toys in the garden. Would return again to the Hay barn once the hot tub is up and running. Jill was super helpful when we needed assistance. Many thanks Jill you have a great property
Keeley
Had a lovely weekend with all my family, the house is beautiful would definitely recommend
The Hay Barn has been a pleasure! Its situated in a beautiful location with wonderful views. The Barn itself gave us all a warm & cosy feeling, it made us feel right at home. There is nothing I could say in fault because it was the most perfect relaxing holiday we could have wished for . The pictures do not do this lovely barn any justice! 110 would recommend staying here & we will definitely be booking again In the future. 1010. Thank you for making my 30th birthday one to remember . Friendly, helpful and caring Owners.
The Hay Barn was lovely, we had a great weekend. Instructions to find it were good and there was plenty of parking. The garden was great for the two little dogs that came with us. All rooms were lovely, really nicely decorated and plenty of space for everyone. Its was lovely and warm, the beds were very comfy and the kitchen well equipped. Cant fault our stay, would love to come back. Thankyou
Leanne
A beautiful property in a very pleasant location, rooms were lovely and comfortable and finished to a very high standard. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it.
We had a fabulous time,the accommodation is second to none. Met with owner via horse riding for the children and they couldnt have been nicer folks. Kitchen has everything you need ,bedrooms are spacious enough for a permanent trundle bed to add to folks available to sleep. My single only improvement would be a shower in the lower bedroom its then possible to advertise for a disabled people. Yes we would definitely visit again. It was a 45 min drive away so perfect. Beautiful countryside around and a pub within walking distance ,what more can you ask for.
