    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Lewis - Verified booking

      We had such a fantastic stay at Field Barn, we had to book again the day we returned!

      The barn is in a remote location, overlooking Alston Moor and the surrounding Pennines, fantastic for sitting out at night and looking at the stars, with no noise other than the sheep and the crackle of a fire. The bed is extremely comfy and there is plenty of space in the bedroom for clothes and other belongings, there were two of us and we each had a wardrobe. The bathroom was lovely and bright and the water was nice and hot, perfect after a long day of walking. We can’t express enough how wonderful the upstairs space is, the kitchen is well equipped, the fridge/freezer is spacious enough for supplies for a week, and the oven/cooker is modern and easy to use. We especially enjoyed the coffee machine in the mornings. The sofas were comfy and the juliette balcony gave us lovely views over the moor. We stayed for five days and didn’t have the TV on at all as there was no need with the scenery! There’s also a porch in the entrance to leave muddy shoes and to hang coats. Alston is around a 50min walk away, and the nearest pub in Nenthead is around 15/20 minutes walk, however, we couldn’t see any need to leave in the evenings as we enjoyed sitting out with the dog and a glass of wine. 10/10 stay - we would recommend Field Barn to anyone. We'd like to thank the hosts for providing such a perfect and genuinely lovely place and being great with communication throughout.

      We absolutely adored Field Barn - we stayed for a week following our wedding and plan to book another stay next year.

      The views are stunning from every side of the hills and countryside and there is plenty of outdoor space and seating to sit and enjoy this from. Everything was absolutely spotless when we got there from the kitchen area to the bedroom. Fluffy towels are provided, the kitchen has everything you need (except a tin opener); there are even rechargeable torches. My only comments for possible improvement are that the sofa, being a sofa bad, isn’t quite as comfy as a normal sofa would be. Also, whilst very comfortable, the bed is super creaky and a person moving around in the night wakes the other. I definitely think a more sturdy and less creamy bed frame would take my review to five stars instead of four. Alston is the closest town and it’s very quaint and picturesque, we loved it. There’s a Co-op and a few little gift type shops, a few pubs, a chippy and a general takeaway with Chinese, pizzas, kebabs etc All in all this was a fabulous week away

      The cottage was nice with some nice touches and well equipped.

      We liked the remote position and walked into Alston from the cottage a few times. Unfortunately the settee and chair were uncomfortable and so was the bed. The shower worked intermittently meaning sometimes we needed to hold the on/off switch with one hand and try to shower with the other (we thought it was a water saving feature to start with). Other times once pressed it worked until pressed again? The toilet handle was really loose upon arrival and on the 3rd day it come off, and I had to fit it back. The internet was really poor as in it would keep resetting itself every couple of minutes whilst using it (we had the same problem when we used BT). I know there are a few negatives in this review and we could have called the caretaker for the maintenance issues. I'm sure when the things are repaired it will make someone the perfect place to stay.

      If you're looking for a get away from everything break this is for you!

      1 man and his dog arrived at the Barn during the tail end of ex-hurricane Ernesto and the first day was Storm Liliana. The build and design of the Barn prevented any knowledge of the wind and rain unless you looked out of the windows! The facilities were excellent, even including a George Foreman, the heating was easy to use and worked a treat. Lovely luxury touches like the softest quality bath towels showed the care and quality that the owners have insisted on. The provided internet however was worse than old school dial up due to the location, however my phone on EE had full and fast signal so online activities could still be enjoyed. Even the infamous slow dripping tap in the kitchen sink couldn't detract from a perfect relaxing break, thank you.

    • Gillian - Verified booking

      When we stayed here there was a ladie underneath us, and omg did she have problems!

      All she done was bang the doors all night long and we never got any sleep. We had enough so we left early and as we was packing our cars she thrown a pair of her knickers at us, and omg we was shocked. We did not feel it was safe as she clearly had issues. Tony and Susan offered another week end stay for free as a gesture of goodwill, which was so lovely of them. We have just came back from staying there again and had a peaceful chilled stay. Massive thank you to them. We loved it there and we will be going again well long as that unhindge women is not there again haaaa. Sorry I no she won't be lol but we will be. If you want to go anywhere with beautiful views walks and amazing I would definitely recommend staying here. Thank you again xx
