Restful Retreat
Four adults ages 49-80 and it was perfect for all of us. Clean, comfortable, quiet bedrooms. Steaming hot water and great water pressure in the showers. Kitchen well equipped. Comfortable living area with great views. We enjoyed watching the sheep migrate from field to field. Short, beautiful drive down into the Peak District.

Wow!
Crabtree Barn is exactly, if not better, than what kind owners Wayne and Rachel say/show it is. Their renovated barn was perfect for my partner and 2 kids. Not only was it a beautiful home with all of the amenities and then some, the English countryside is simply gorgeous and peaceful. AND I have to say, I have never met owners who were as kind or as helpful as both Wayne and Rachel (and I have stayed in a good number of VRBOs!!) If you love what you see then you will not be disappointed-- Definitely stay here!

Cosy tucked away barn
Crabtree Barn is cosy though spacious and comes very well equipped. It was wonderfully clean and the beds and sofas were extremely comfortable. The kitchen is well designed with plenty of space and all the equipment we needed. Wayne and Rachel were very helpful and friendly without being at all intrusive. My sister and I felt happy and warm and relaxed in the Barn and would visit again and recommend it to friends. Just beware of the very narrow roads leading to the Barn and which make up much of the road network in the area - we loved driving them, but they aren't for everyone. What a wonderful base from which to explore Halifax, Hebden Bridge, Hardcastle Craggs and Haworth and discover a very striking part of the world. Thank you Wayne and Rachel!

About the host

Hosted by Wayne Harris and Rachel Taylor

Host profile image
Wayne was a teacher for 25 years but now runs a holiday property and is Dad to teenager Henry. Wife Rachel runs the local community magazines so knows all the local restaurants and what's on info. Son Henry is 13 and just loves to dance and play football!

Why they chose this property

Stylish, modern but with features of the barn retained, totally renovated in 2014. We love the area and live in the area ourselves. Away from the hustle and bustle of modern life but so easy to get around. The barn is tucked down a little country lane but in only 10 minutes you can reach the M62 and can easily be in Leeds, Manchester, York etc. It's the best of both worlds! Explore the city by day and return to the peaceful haven of the barn in the evening.

What makes this property unique

Set in rolling hills with far reaching views, the barn was built in 1855 and converted in 2000. It is very spacious, over twice the size of many 2 bedded holiday cottages with a large private garden. Quirky architecture in how the barn entrance has been retained and incorporated into the huge front and velux windows meaning the living area is full of light.

You can drive or take the train to Leeds and Manchester in under an hour whilst local areas of Calderdale and Kirklees have many buildings, parks and cultural points of interest. Set in area that 'Gentleman Jack' lived and where Happy Valley was filmed. A 5 mile / 15 min drive away is the Piece Hall ('Italian Piazza? no Halifax!' Daily Mail Sep 19) with big name concerts each summer - in 2023 there is Sting, Madness, Rag n Bone Man, The Jacksons, Hozier, The Jacksons and Ministry of Sound plus others! Within a 15 - 20 minutes drive (5-6 miles) there are over 20 pubs and restaurants to choose from.
