The space
We love to welcome all guests to our newly converted stone, detached three-bedroom first floor barn with a spacious open plan living area. The barn can sleep up to 4 adults and 2 children, or 2 adults and up to 4 children. (Other number groupings need to make an initial request as we do not allow parties)
We are a smallholding with a small flock of sheep and chickens, situated in the heart of Soyland, in an area of outstanding natural beauty, with stunning scenery and within easy access of both the Pennine and the Calderdale Way.
The location makes the barn a perfect choice for those visiting the NEM in Manchester or the First Direct Arena as both are easily reached by taxi or train.
Shaw Edge Barn is a new conversion with spacious lounge, fully equipped kitchen, 2 double bedrooms, one bedroom with bunk beds, bathroom with bath and shower and utility room, all furnished to a high standard. It has its own thermostatically controlled central heating to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Cotton bed linen and fresh towels are provided and there is also a travel cot and high chair. The utility space includes a washer dryer, freezer and a monks bench for shoe removal and storage.
Guests can wake up to see sheep and lambs in the fields, and have a fresh daily supply of free range eggs from our own chickens. Please note that we have sheep in the surrounding fields and our chickens may wander around the car park area.
Patio doors from the main living space open up onto the barbecue and outdoor seated area with barbecue and fire pit.
If you are short on time, and you'd like to do an online grocery shop, we will be more than happy to receive and unpack it for you. Please do let us know if this would be of interest.
There is a small additional charge of £25 per day for the hot tub, except for those guests staying for a full week where this charge is £75 for the full week. If it's a special occasion, our Bubbles and Bouquet deal, can be purchased at extra charge, please ask for details or see the hot tub packages.
We are happy to decorate the barn for surprise birthdays, anniversaries etc and can purchase occasion cakes for you in advance of your stay. Please ask for details.
