About this house rental
Mill Barn is a splendid detached stone barn conversion on the edge of Hebden village. The open plan living area has under floor heating and a wood burning stove set in a Yorkshire Stone fireplace, with french doors leading to the patio, perfect for enjoying the peace and tranquillity or for alfresco dining on warmer days. Mill Barn is complemented with a blend of quality furnishings to a high standard creating a warm and welcoming country retreat. Unfortunately we do not accept pets. Surrounded by spectacular countryside it is a haven for exploring the delights of this stunning and tranquil area of the Dales with a footpath down to the River Wharfe just a few minutes walk away. Hebden has a country inn serving meals and tea rooms and there is a regular bus service to Grassington just 1 ½ miles away where the quaint cobbled square has an array of quality shops, inns and restaurants. Grassington is host to various cultural events throughout the year including the Grassington Festival in late June and the popular annual Dickensian weekends in December. Situated midway between Skipton and Pateley Bridge in an area of unspoilt natural beauty, the pretty villages of Burnsall and Bolton Abbey are just a few minutes drive away. Malham Cove and Tarn, Kilnsey Crag, Parceval Hall Gardens and Stump Cross Caverns are all within easy driving distance.

Lovely barn conversion. Very well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Space a little small for 4 adults and would book something a little bigger another time. Ideal for 2 adults/2 children or a couple, would recommend to others.

6 / 10Average·Apr 2022
The cottage is compact, no frills and well equipped for a stay with family. We found a good level of cleanliness - a few cobwebs here and there and a bit more dusting would make it spot on but it certainly didn’t bother us. Linens and towels were immaculate and good quality.
Kitchen is well equipped with a good range of pans, dishes and utensils. Plenty of dishcloths and towels too and the knives were sharp (always a pet peeve of mine in holiday houses)! A stock of basics would be good - oil and spices for example.
Bathroom was clean and came with plenty of towels and bath mats. The one thing missing was loo roll so make sure you bring some. I’m not sure if this was an oversight and there was a lovely welcome tray with milk, tea, coffee, sugar and flapjacks so it felt like maybe loo roll had been forgotten rather than not supplied?
Location of the cottage is amazing. Plenty of parking, a small patio and gravelled area but you are surrounded by fields and it’s a couple of minutes down to the Hebden suspension bridge. From there it’s an easy walk to Burnsall or Grassington. You can also walk up to Hebden and the lovely tea room there (highly recommended- bakewell slices were amazing!) The surrounds are just beautiful and we enjoyed watching the rabbits / sheep / pheasants every day in the fields around.
Things that would improve this cottage - new beds. We really struggled with sleep quality on very squeaky and hard beds to the extent we left the afternoon before check out to avoid another sleepless night. And finally an updated information pack - it had a lot of info from 2019 and it wasn’t clear what day was bin day etc.
