Guests say
Usherwoods Barn receives glowing praise for its beautiful rural setting, spacious and comfortable interiors, and exceptional views. Guests consistently highlight the high standard of cleanliness, well-equipped kitchen, and cosy atmosphere, with underfloor heating and quality furnishings. The property is ideal for families, dog owners, and walkers, offering peace, privacy, and easy access to local attractions. The friendly, helpful owner is frequently mentioned, and many guests appreciate thoughtful touches such as welcome packs, though these are not guaranteed. Minor issues, such as occasional missing kitchen items or Sat Nav inaccuracies, are rare and do not detract from overwhelmingly positive experiences.
Multiple reviews describe the property as spotlessly clean, immaculately presented, and well maintained throughout. No negative comments regarding cleanliness were found.
The barn's tranquil, picturesque rural location with stunning views is repeatedly praised. Guests enjoy the peaceful setting, proximity to walking routes, and easy access to local villages and attractions. Only minor mention of Sat Nav issues, but owners' directions are effective.
Guests consistently mention the comfort of beds, spacious rooms, underfloor heating, and cosy atmosphere. The property is described as warm, inviting, and perfect for relaxation, with no significant complaints.
Facilities are highly rated, with well-equipped kitchen, modern bathrooms, enclosed garden, and ample parking. A few minor mentions of missing kitchen utensils and a noisy dishwasher, but these are exceptions in otherwise excellent feedback.
Many guests appreciated welcome packs with milk, cookies, eggs, and festive decorations, as well as the owner's friendly and helpful approach. However, as these gestures are not guaranteed for every stay, future guests should not expect them as standard.
About this property
An outstanding stone barn conversion, in the small hamlet of Tatham on the rural outskirts of Bentham, 8 miles from Kirkby Lonsdale. Lovingly converted and set in the grounds of the owner's farmhouse, this delightful property sits between the dairy and the farmhouse and boasts exposed beams, underfloor heating, three bathrooms and fabulous countryside views with the magnificent Three Peaks dominating the skyline. With great walking, cycling and wildlife spotting available from the doorstep, this is the perfect home from home. A range of local towns with great amenities are nearby, such as Kirkby Lonsdale, Settle and Ingleton, whilst the Cumbrian town of Kendal is within easy reach. An ideal base for a relaxing holiday!
High above the traditional Yorkshire market town of Bentham, the tiny hamlet of Tatham sits on the edge of Burnmoor overlooking The Great Stone of Fourstones - an Ice Age relic which marks the boundary between Lancashire and Yorkshire. This ancient monument has become a distinctive feature of the landscape boasting spectacular views over the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the Forest of Bowland - a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Excellent walking and cycling routes cross all three of these stunning areas, whilst nearby Bentham boasts a range of amenities and a good variety of shops, pubs and restaurants. The market towns of Settle, Kirkby Lonsdale, Skipton and Kendal are all within easy driving and are well worth visiting making this an exceptional destination no matter what time of year.

It was wonderful, well equipped with everything you could possibly need, comfy and clean with stunning peaceful views. The owner was very helpful and accommodating and even let us stay a little longer on our last day.
