About this property
Picturesque converted barn, located in the West Yorkshire village of Esholt. The property combines stylish modern interior with a homely feel, and it’s perfect for couples wishing to take in Esholt and the nearby countryside. Staying at Cunliffe Barn really will provide guests with the feeling that they are in a home away from home, and its two sitting rooms really emphasise this. Both contain comfortable seating, but they differ in what else is on offer, the first features a beautiful woodbuner, an ideal spot during the winter months. While the second which forms part of the open-plan living area features a Smart TV and also a radio, which helps to bring you and your loved ones closer together. Situated behind is the stylish kitchen/diner, complete with breakfast bar. The final room on the ground floor is the utility room. Upstairs are the property’s two double bedrooms, both of which provide views overlooking the garden, a nice way to start your day. Also located on the first floor is the bathroom. Relaxation continues to be the main theme as you open up the doors to the garden, as located at the end of it is the hot tub, so after a nice meal, why not take the party outside and maybe indulge in a glass of bubbly? There’s also a patio area with a table and chairs should you fancy an alternative to dining on the breakfast bar. Located just a six-minute walk from Cunliffe Barn is The Woolpack pub, which guests may know from the hit television series Emmerdale. Despite its fame, the pub is open to the public and it offers a good range of food and drinks, so whether you’re a fan of the show or not, it’s still well worth visiting. There are plenty of other activities in and around the area, with golfers recommended to take in a round at the nearby Bradford Park Golf Club, while fans of the countryside should visit the Yorkshire Dale National Park, located just 16 miles away. Meanwhile the city of Leeds offers great shops, restaurants and nightlife, and is only 12 miles away. So if you want to combine a busy stay in the Yorkshire area with ultimate relaxation then Cunliffe Barn is the place to go.
Esholt is situated between Shipley and Guiseley, in the metropolitan district of the City of Bradford. This village was once used to film scenes for 'Emmerdale' from 1976 to 1997; pleasant walks amble through the village, where you can stop off for a drink at the local pub on the way; The Woolpack is in the heart of Esholt, serving drinks, food and a friendly atmosphere. Close by is the town of Shipley, and the city of Leeds is further afield with many shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as Harewood House, Roundhay Park and Kirkstall Abbey. The North Yorkshire Dales are 16 miles to the north, for those who love being outdoors.

Itâs in a fabulous quiet location with some great facilities but the things I have pointed out before have just been ignored. I took my own bath mat this time because the bath is very slippy and I fell last time. There is no handle to grab hold of or anything. 2 dessert spoons for 4 people really isnât good. I bought some from Asda for you! The light over the hob still isnât working even though I pointed it out last time. Glad to see the dishwasher has been fixed though! It wouldnât put me off going again but listening to customers surely is the right thing to do?

It really is stunning, very quiet but well situated for getting out and about. Only criticism is a few maintenance issues which if rectified would make this place second to none. Light on cooker hood doesnât work Lack of dessert spoons only 4 whilst loads of knives and forks Dishwasher top tray faulty. Was same last Nov, reported but nothing done. Needs bath mat- very slippy No washing up liquid. Not everything goes in the dishwasher! Solar light near hottub not working Apart from these minor issues highly recommend and will be back in the future.
