Howgills Barn | Self-catering accommodation in Yorkshire | Countryside location

We had an amazing stay at Howgills Barn for a hen party of 20. The property was perfect for a large group – very well equipped, spotlessly clean, and with a fantastic social space where we were able to host our own silent disco and karaoke & cocktail nights. Communication from the owners was excellent throughout. They were incredibly easy to deal with and really accommodating – even helping when my supermarket delivery arrived just before check-in by sending a couple of the team to assist. They left me to get organised initially and then came back to show us how everything worked, including the dishwasher, hot tub, and fire alarm, which was really helpful. We did have a small issue with the Wi-Fi, but when I emailed they responded quickly and were very proactive in trying to resolve it. The location is beautiful, with stunning views and a lovely walk into town down the track. It’s also easy to imagine using it as a base for exploring the area or hiking during the day and then coming back to relax in the hot tub. Overall, I couldn’t fault it and would absolutely book again if I needed accommodation for a large group. Highly recommended. Thank you Howgills team!

As usual, excellent service and well kitted out. An excellent design for both adults and children. We will be back for a third time!

20 of us stayed in March 2026 in what turned out to be an ideal location with the majority of the party split between Cheshire and Edinburgh As the best man I had a remit from the Stag to find a suitable central location for around 20-25 people where everyone could have a chilled weekend and Howgills fitted that bill. What more could a Stag Party want..... a hot tub, games room, single bunk beds over 8 comfortable rooms and 2 industrial sized kitchens for us to make all the food we wanted! Was ideal for some of the group to go for a hike, others to go for a round of golf and we even had a chance to sample some of the lovely boozers in Sedbergh

Howgill Barn proved to be a good location for our annual five day New Year self catered event for 22 people. Plenty of warm socialising space with fun areas like games room and hot tub. It would be particularly spacious in the warmer months when you could get outside on the large patio. The bunk rooms were a little tight but good that each one had its own toilet, washbasin and shower. The upstairs kitchen was also on the small size but doable but if necessary a large kitchen was available downstairs. Both kitchens well furnished with all essential items for large scale catering. Excellent location for short and long hikes locally from the door. Plenty of parking space.
