Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers consistently mention the spotless condition of the property, highlighting its cleanliness as a standout feature. The meticulous attention to cleanliness contributes to the overall positive experience.
The property's location is celebrated for its quiet, peaceful setting with stunning views of the Dales, proximity to local attractions, and ease of access to walking routes. The nearby pub within walking distance is also a plus.
Guests find the barn cosy and comfortable, with a homely feel and a comfortable bed. The presence of a log burner adds to the cosy atmosphere, although there is a mention of noise from the upstairs occupants.
The barn is well-equipped for self-catering, with high-spec fittings and furniture. However, there are minor mentions of a sticking tap and door handle, and a suggestion for a hot tub. The lack of independent heating control was noted but did not significantly detract from the overall positive feedback.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is frequently mentioned, with guests appreciating the welcome treats such as wine, cakes, and flowers. While these gestures are warmly received, it is politely noted that such gifts, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
A ground floor open plan conversion of a detached stone-built barn located in the grounds of the owner’s barn just outside of Giggleswick on the outskirts of Settle, just over a mile from the town centre. Set amongst beautiful rolling countryside with views in most directions this is a lovely holiday home to get away from it all and enjoy Dales life at its best. Lovingly restored, Rushton Barn has been individually styled and furnished to provide top quality accommodation in a superb location. Guests entering the accommodation will be met with a stylish kitchen/diner providing a great place to prepare sumptuous meals after an exhausting day out exploring the many footpaths and bridleways of this beautiful area. From the kitchen, the small and cosy sitting room boasts a stone fire surround with a woodburning stove, ideal to curl up, open a bottle of your favourite tipple and simply relax. The views from the sitting room across the attached meadow where a small herd sheep graze often provides an interesting spectacle. The main bedroom boasts a double bed with a Harrison mattress, and a modern en-suite shower room with power shower. Outside there is a small lawned area and a patio to sit out and enjoy dining alfresco. Guests will love the surrounding countryside, the Settle to Carlisle railway line running close by and the opportunity to watch the sheep grazing in the adjoining field. With a host of scenic walks from the doorstep, enjoy quiet strolls through meadow lands, down quiet country lanes and for the more experienced, there is of course the famous Three Peaks challenge. A little further down the valley, Skipton, host to the 2014 Tour De France, offers a great day out with its Norman castle, canal trips and award-winning high street. Stylish throughout and put together with great love and affection this is a holiday home not to be missed. Note: This property can be booked with the upper floor.
Settle is a popular market town situated at the south west rim of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The market day in Settle is held on a Tuesday and the town has shops, restaurants, pubs and a public swimming pool. The famous Settle-Carlisle Railway crosses some of the most inspiring upland scenery in the country and the natural attractions of Malham Cove and Gordale Scar are well worth exploring. Also within driving distance is the nearby towns of Skipton and Malham.

The cottage itself - which is the ground floor 'apartment' of the barn - is delightful. Hazel and Charlie have gone to great effort to make it very comfortable and welcoming, with many lovely touches. They were super hosts - even checking what colour wine I would like as they left a bottle of wine along with milk, etc ready for my arrival. There was even a 'Tuesday Treat' - a really delicious, large slice of cream sponge cake - as an extra. There is everything you need for a relaxing stay - and when I was unsure about using the woodburning stove, they kindly offered to come across to start it off. The little, sheltered garden outside the front door is delightful - and I really enjoyed being given food to feed the alpacas who live in the neighbouring field. Hazel was very happy to suggest places to visit, restaurants for meals/coffee, etc, which was really helpful, but they were never at all intrusive. Perfect hosts, in fact! I have already been recommending this cottage to friends as it really is a gem, set in a beautiful rural location, but within easy driving distance of Settle. Thank you, Hazel and Charlie.

Hazel & Charlie are a lovely couple who want you to have the best holiday. The welcome treats & gifts were delicious & much appreciated. The Alpacas were a highlight of our stay they came to say hello every morning. The views & wildlife were lovely to sit & watch , and the barn had everything we needed , with all the essentials there for you to use to stay in on a cold night with the log burner on. We would highly recommend rushton barn & we are looking to return
