Crabtree Barn: Countryside Retreat with Views

Nestled down a tranquil country lane, Crabtree Barn offers the perfect escape to the heart of nature, yet with unbeatable access to nearby cities. Surrounded by breathtaking, panoramic views of lush valleys and rolling hills, this beautifully converted Victorian barn promises a peaceful retreat, while being just a couple of miles from the M62. This means you can easily access Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, and York, and the stunning Peak District is less than an hour away.

Steeped in history, Crabtree Barn was originally built in 1855 and has been sympathetically restored into a spacious, stylish two-bedroom home. The open-plan, light-filled living area on the top floor is perfect for relaxation, and with two comfortable ground-floor bedrooms, you’ll enjoy both peace and privacy. Each bedroom boasts its own en-suite bathroom, with the flexibility of choosing between a superking bed or twin beds in Bedroom 1 (just let us know your preference at booking).

For extra space and fun, the garden room offers a full-size table tennis table and convenient laundry facilities, plus direct access to your private garden. Outside, soak in the magnificent views across the valley from the terrace or relax with your morning coffee in the charming summerhouse, listening to the soothing sounds of nature.

Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway, a family adventure, or a peaceful retreat, Crabtree Barn is the perfect setting. The generous garden space, complete with a terrace and summerhouse, is ideal for unwinding after a day exploring. You can enjoy walks or cycling directly from the door, venturing through the hills to discover picturesque waterfalls and scenic landscapes.

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!

Incredible barn with lovely hosts
The barn is gorgeous and incredibly comfortable! The bedrooms and bathrooms are perfect. Comfortable, quiet, very clean. Bathrooms spacious and modern. The upstairs kitchen / living room is generous in size, lots of light - really lovely. Hosts are kind and helpful. This is a truly remarkable barn conversion surrounded by beautiful countryside. Highly recommend!!

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!
