The Old Cattle Barn - Splendid Yorkshire getaway!

The Old Cattle Barn is a part of a charming 18th century farmhouse set halfway up a steep and picturesque hillside in the peaceful Calder Valley. The cosy space is newly renovated and designed for a perfect home away from home experience. To the rear of the property is a direct footpath to the Pennine Bridle Way. Just a few minutes walk will immerse you in stunning panoramic views where you can take in the wild and rugged beauty of the Yorkshire moors. You won't believe Manchester is so close. The space Your accommodation is the ground level of the converted barn which retains the natural features of exposed stonework and deep set windows. Thick Yorkshire stone walls make it both a cosy retreat in the winter and cool and refreshing one in the warmer months. The entire space is newly renovated and designed for complete convenience and comfort. We've done a bit of globe-trotting ourselves so the decor conveys a hint of a few of our wanderlust adventures. We - Andy, Crystal, Reuben (5) and Delancey (3) - live in the main house which is connected to the barn, however the barn is completely private with its own entrance and is yours to relax in while you are here. Bedroom: The double bedroom with its 'weaver's windows' has a light and spacious feeling. It features a rustic Victorian style solid Indian Rosewood bed, crisp white linen, drawers and hanging space for convenient storage. Kitchen: A modern kitchen, fully equipped for a self-catering stay, you'll find everything you need to whip up culinary delights if you feel so inclined. The induction hob and dishwasher make tidying up afterwards quick and easy. You'll also have olive oil and vinegar, salt and pepper grinders and a small selection of condiments (the last things you want to be lugging around on a weekend escape). Breakfast: You have the options of cafetiere or espresso machine coffee as well as Breakfast tea. Enjoy a breakfast of fruit and nut muesli at the breakfast bar or sit by the french doors where you can take in the greenery of the valley. If you prefer to cook your own breakfast you can take a 15/20 minute walk along a particularly beautiful section of the canal which brings you into Todmorden. Alternatively, it's a 2 minute drive. There you'll find several artisan bakeries, a local market (Weds to Sunday) and a Morrison's supermarket. Lounge/diner: The lounge/diner is a beautiful, bright room that is open plan with the kitchen. It features a 52 inch TV with ability to connect to your Amazon/Netflix account so you can relax in homely comfort if you're not out for the evening. Alternatively you can browse the bookshelf and curl up on the very comfortable sofa that converts to a full size double bed for the convenience of 2 extra guests to sleep. Fibre-optic broadband also presents the possibility to use the room as the ideal calm, getaway work space. Bathroom: Having been out enjoying the spectacular countryside, be that hiking, running, cycling or mountain-biking there is nothing more you will appreciate than refreshing yourself under the relaxing rainfall shower.
