Fold Yards at Rowan Cottage Reviews

Excellent standard of property throughout. Very well equipped and comfortable beds. Everything was super clean. Lovely location. Good communication from our hosts before and during our short stay. The Welcome Pack was very welcome. Would highly recommend this cottage.

An absolute superb renovated barn providing a most comfortable, quite and well equipped accommodation. You can ask for nothing more. Hosts were joyful and friendly.

My friends and I had a fabulous weekend away at Rowan cottage. Everything was as described and the cottage was immaculate when we arrived. As the weather was exceptionally warm we particularly enjoyed eating outside together and went on many walks in the local area. Sally the owner was kind and helpful if we needed anything. I would definitely recommend and would like to return again with my family. Many thanks, Marie.

Deborah

Lovely accommodation on a working farm. Our grandchildren absolutely loved seeing the cows, bulls, ducklings and moving tractor! Friendly helpful owners. Our only issue was a mistake on the listing that I had also double checked with Sykes and was given incorrect info. The owners have told Sykes several times to adjust the listing there is NO private patio area. There are places to sit outside but there are no actual boundaries for children. We worked around this but would not have booked it had we known.

Graham

Great accommodation for our week away, the three bedrooms and three bathrooms were a plus and having one of those bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor helped. Very comfortable beds and well appointed in every other way. Very fast internet too.

Sandra

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Rowan Cottage finished to a very high standard and fantastically managed by David and Sally. Our 2 family farmers had great fun helping with the cattle and having a farm tour! A few minor niggles and by no means complaints a chest of drawers in the ground floor bedroom would be helpful and also a larger fridge we struggled a bit with 6 adults and a toddler!

Rebecca

A beautifully presented property, in a great location. This house was spotless upon arrival and our initial look at the property was nothing but positive. We all had a fabulous time here. My only few things for feedback would be that the shower pressure and temperature was very low. For sure beautiful shower space this is was disappointing. Also the kitchen was low on utensils for cooking eg only 1 sharp knife and 1 chopping board.

Elisabeth

We absolutely loved our stay at Rowan Cottage. It was everything we expected. Sally and David made us very welcome and were on hand if we needed anything. The cottage was spotless and comfortable and cosy. The beds were comfortable and I loved the bath! Rowan Cottage is the ideal spot for family and friends gatherings and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or return. The area is beautiful with lovely walks from the front door. All in all, a lovely Cottage!

Alexandra

We enjoyed our stay at Rowan Cottage. The location is great for exploring nearby places and you can go on walks in the countryside right from the door. The place is beautifully decorated and the kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. There were six adults and one baby, and we felt there was lots of room for all of us. We would definitely stay again.

Lovely cottage in beautiful area. Loved seeing the cows out of the windows. Large spacious property. Comfortable beds. Very peaceful & quiet. Beautiful big free standing bath but unfortunatley water not very hot , same with the showers slow pressure & not very hot.

Rachael

We stayed at Rowans Yard for a friends reunion weekend. It was a lovely property, perfect for our reunion with a bedroom and bathroom each and lots of space to spend time together. The property was well furnished and we appreciated the log fire on a cold evening!

Heather

We loved Rowan Cottage. Lovely and clean, great social space, comfy beds and great surroundings. Great value for money, plenty of room for 6 of us. Lovely and warm on a cold day, plenty of parking, welcome pack on arrival. Really couldnt ask for much more.

Absolutely beautiful accommodation in a beautiful setting. The property had everything we needed and was quiet and peaceful. Lots to do nearby as well. The owners David and Sally were very friendly and helpful.

A lovely cottage in a beautiful location. Me & my family enjoyed a lovely weekend in Rowan cottage, it was well equipped & very comfortable. Only a short drive to all the things we wanted to do & places we ate in. Would definitely recommend!

Folds Yard was the perfect host for our weekend stay. We had a number of the properties booked for a wedding at the local village hall, which Folds Yard was in easy walking distance tofrom. The accommodation is modern, clean, welcoming, and has everything you could want. We had a brilliant stay.

We were extremely happy with Rowan Cottage. It was spacious, clean and well equipped. Sally was very helpful and told us of pubs and restaurants in the area and also of places to visit. We had an amazing time and had a perfect week of weather too which was a bonus. We hope to return sometime and will tell our friends. Thank you so much.

A beautiful stay, the accommodation was stunning. Such a high standard and had everything you need. My daughter absolutely loved having the cows right outside and visited them everyday. Plus we got to see the new calf which was so lovely. Would definitely return. Thank you so much

We had a lovely stay at this property, which is really beautifully furnished and located on a working dairy farm. David and Sally were excellent, attentive hosts and we would happily stay again. There are some issues at present with the drains which caused some nasty smells, but it appears the hosts are aware and working to address.

Superb location and very relaxing property It met all our expectations

Debbie

Perfect place for a family get together. The cottage is beautifully appointed and very well equipped, we had an amazing Christmas and would definitely book it again

Superb cottage in a beautiful area. Unfortunately we had to cut short our trip when one of our party had an accident. Sally and David were brilliant helping us deal with it, they couldnt have done more, nothing was too much trouble.

Gorgeous cottage in a beautiful setting. We loved our stay there. Hosts David and Sally were very welcoming. We wanted for nothing. Lovely welcome package on arrival. If you are thinking of booking DO IT.

Rowan Cottage is a fabulous place to stay, beautifully appointed, with everything you need. The hosts are on hand and very welcoming. Located on a hillside with amazing views across farmland and neighbouring valley. Stunning!

Dianne

A lovely place to stay. Sally was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The cottage is clean and homely, we really enjoyed our time there. Would definitely stay again. Thank you to Sally and David.

Claudia

Absolutely stunning location and property is to a very high standard with everything you need inside. We absolutely loved our stay here and the space provided. It's a nice private location we didn't really notice your on a working farm with lots of cute towns and things to do nearby. The only thing to be aware of is the property is only part of the building with a couple more cottages adjacent however once inside you don't notice or hear any of the neighbouring properties.

Stephen

Beautiful property in a great location. Working farm so nice to see the bulls, cows and calfs. Great hosts and nice touch with welcome pack for a cuppa.

Louise

Perfect location, very friendly and helpful hosts Sally and David. Idyllic setting, immaculate accommodation to a high standard. Perfect break away from it all. Thank you for a lovely relaxing week.

Michael

Absolutely loved Rowan cottage. Lovely setting on the farm. Wife and children named some of the cattle. Sally who came to see us on the day we arrived was so welcoming and was very helpful. Would definitely book again.
