Sharon

We had a fabulous stay here. The host was so friendly and there to help with anything. There was 4 of us, me, my husband and our 2 kids aged 17. Was lovely having 3 bathrooms lol. The place was so lovely and clean, had everything you need. The hot tub was fantastic and so warm. We loved meeting the animals. Alpacas, goats, peacocks, Shetland pony. Donkeys, and the fresh hen eggs we received were fabulous. Can't fault anything. We woukd definitely recommend and definitely be back. Very close drive to Haworth which was such a beautiful place to visit. We went for lovely walks aswell. Thank you for a fabulous time and we have lovely memories xx

We had such a lovely relaxing stay at the old hen shed over Christmas. The Hun shed had everything we needed and was super clean and comfortable. Jo and Stu left some lovely biscuits and welcoming treats which was a lovely surprise. They were so helpful and informative. The animals were lovely and our children Loved learning about them and Jo letting them feed the Alpacas, especially the cheeky and very funny Ronnie. The hot tub was a real treat and we really enjoyed using it each evening, The site itself is lovely and so peaceful, also in easy reach of walks and shops and pubs. Prior to our arrival I had called Stu who was happy to tell me about local events and nice pubs so I could plan our trip and book tickets etc which was really helpful and greatly appreciated. We will certainly be booking again in the future and have been telling our friends and colleagues about the old hen shed too. Thankyou for a lovely holiday and all the care and attention throughout from such lovely hosts.

I have awesome birthday celebration, the house is amazing, rooms are really like your home. Clean spacious good for family or group. Plus bonus when it was snowing.

Had a lovely few days at the Hen Shed. Great meeting the animals and a good base for visiting the area.

Hugely recommend this place! It was a party of 5, and we were all super comfortable I want to know where the bedding is from, as slept through like a baby! and it was so peaceful to wake up and have a coffee listening to the animals, especially spotting a peacock in your garden on the hot tub ha. The hosts, Helen, Stu and Jo, were so lovely and accommodating! Were definitely going to book again, maybe when it isnt as cold this time.

Muriel

Definitely enjoyed our stay and would use it again. It was spotless, everything we needed was there,loved the special little touches like decent toilet rolls,cutlery crockery and fresh flowers. It was a pleasant surprise to find tea,coffee,milk for a drink when we arrived, plus a bottle of wine. The host and her helpers were very friendly when showing us the animals and a friendly chicken left us some eggs. Being 5ft 2inches,I find the big sofas , too big for me to sit comfortable but that's just me and my only gripe.

Michelle

What a lovely place to stay. We booked 3 nights and didn't want to leave. We had a tour of the farm and got to meet all the animals twice. Stuart, Helen, Jo & Lola were really friendly. We will definitely be back even though we are very local.

Just back from a great stay at the old hen shed. The cabin was lovely, spacious and clean. Helen, Jo and Stuart were lovely, friendly hosts. Happy to answer any questions and the tour of the animals was great getting to meet all the animals up close. They had a large secure area for the dog to go to the toilet and it was lovely seeing the alpacas at the fence and they were so friendly. The cabin is close to everywhere, but at the same time it is rural enough to make you feel you are in the middle of nowhere surrounded by wildlife. It is very quiet except for nature sounds, especially the peacocks,but they were noisier due to it being mating season. Its lovely sitting in the garden watching the peacocks, chickens,cats etc just walking past. Lots to do and see. Would defo come back again. Thanks for a lovely stay. Xx

Loved the Hen Shed,farm animals and hot tub were a big hit . Accommodation well equipped and very comfortable.We had a great time and hope to go back.

Philip

Our first time here, also first time on a farm. Our adult girls with learning disabilities loved all the animals, becoming very attached to kitten the cat. They also loved the hot tub. The facilities were first class and we hope to come back soon. The girls said for 2 weeks!!!. Even the weather was pretty good apart from a brisk wind. The hosts were very good and on hand if anything needed sorting out, not that anything went wrong. A great holiday.

Great place to stay

Lovely property in a lovely location down a track. Very helpful friendly owners. Loved all the animals especially Ronnie the baby alpaca. Hope to visit again soon thanks for an amazing weekend x

A lovely, cosy little place and the people are very friendly and helpful too. We had nice walks and the hot tub was fabulous. There was milk and Prosecco in the fridge too which is a lovely touch

Great place lovely surroundings. Owners very friendly an great for walkers an also lots of animals on the farm great for small children who love animals. Can't wait to be back in January.

Charlotte

We had the best weekend. Hot tub was amazing, animals were fantastic, Ronnie the little baby is super sweet. It was lovely and warm in the actual property. We got beautiful weather so we had a ball. It was a really good experience. Would go back! Thank you!

Lovely property on a small holding. Stuart made us feel very welcome. The house was warm and comfortable, with a well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed watching and interacting with the many animals, including bottle feeding a baby alpaca! The hot tub was a perfect place to relax with a glass of Prosecco.

Fantastic little gem of a place. Second time staying on this farm. Staff very helpful. The place is immaculate and very well set up. Love the animals nearby and staff even brought an alpaca to our garden area. Very helpful with the snow and getting stuck to allow us to get home! Already rebooked for next year !!

Charles

Keaton

I stayed here with my sister, brother in law and girlfriend and it was a comfortable experience and very relaxing. I recommend anyone who wants to go away and enjoy doing nothing and enjoy the quiet night away.

Loved the hen shed. Loved watching the ducks and geese and the donkey wake up call. Lovely farm and owners. And fresh eggs

Yvonne

What a fabulous place this is. We had an amazing time , beautiful countryside, brilliant hosts and a wonderful time spent with all the animals on the farm. The hot tub was also a treat too. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend this for a restful, relaxing and fun retreat xxx

Lovely stay, enjoyed the animals! Everyone was very helpful, thank you.

Andrea

Unfortunately the hot tub was not working and because of the severe weather conditions it was not able to be repaired however we were able to use another one and the hosts did their very best to make up for it. The hosts were amazing and went out of their way to help when we were unable to get out and about because of the snow. Stu drive us and collected us from Haworth in his 4x4. The hen shed was toastie warm and very comfortable.

Taylor

Was a lovely relaxing weekend away as described on website, comfy warm and hot tub was ready as soon as we arrived

Fantastic Christmas spent here, great accommodation with everything we needed. Lovely welcome pack when we got there and everything was beautifully clean. Only 1 issue electrics tripping which arose during our stay and was resolved within half an hour. Will be back for another visit.

Great accommodation and helpful and friendly hosts. Well equipped, and extra little touches which were much appreciated. Unique setting and can recommend the property as a place to have a relaxing break.

Louise

A super property with welcoming hosts.

Hannah

We really enjoyed our stay at The Old Hen Shed! The owners were very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely be coming back!

Joanne

The only thing I can say negative is the accommodation was too hot and after checking thermastates its because they were set at 24 throughout the cottage. Hosts very friendly. A lot to do around the area. Accomafation clean with all the self catering amenities anyone could want. Fantastic

Shelagh

Great little cottage in a fab location. Hosts are super nice, let us feed the animals, on hand to help and very friendly. Kids would love this, particularly the animals.

Lesley

The worst holiday cottage we have ever stayed in. Rude owners, no storage, broken utensils and toaster, hot tub not working with jets, tablets left in draw from previous occupants and my father with alzeimers was about to taje them, thankfully we stopped him just in time, underwear left in draw from previous occupants, scalded from too hot towel rails, car scratched by animals, no electricity for a few hours without warning on last afternoon where my elderly parents had no means to heat their food. No where to dry wet clothes after hot tub. No bath mats jad to use towels.... we could go on and on. We ate currently waiting for a partial refund as it was not worth over 1k for 6 nights. Absolutely appalling from start to finish.

Richard

Nice break away from reality. The views are stunning and the kids loved the animals and the hot tub.

Rebecca

I couldnt fault anything about this holiday. The little converted barn was perfect with everything you could need. Each bedroom has its own bathroom which is a bonus too. My daughter loved all of the animals, especially the baby billy goats. Its such a peaceful place to be and the hosts are perfect too and will do anything to help you. When you arrive there are a fresh bunch of flowers, tea coffee sugar and milk aswell as a bottle of Prosecco which was nice to enjoy in the hot tub

We had a lovely week in The Old Hen Shed. It is very cosy and warm particularly important on cold windy days!. The hot tub was used everyday and was a real treat. We enjoyed being surrounded by all the animals Alpacas, peacocks, donkeys, rheas, geese..., even if they did wake us up in the morning! The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. Many thanks for a relaxed week.
