Hey Farm Barn - Self-catering in Yorkshire

There's jazz in October in Marsden, a food festival at Holmfirth in July, and heavenly walks all year round. Hey Farm Barn, attached to the owner's fine family farmhouse, is at the top of a Pennine track, looking south over rolling moorland… the setting is a glory. Friendly practical Rebecca, with a background in interior design, is passionate about her new venture – step inside to be wowed. Here is a beautiful, generous, light-filled space, with a big barn window by the dining table and a window seat overlooking the valley. There's a barbecue patio for summer, a stylish wood-burner for winter (logs on the house) and colours fresh, cool and light. The galley kitchen is superb, and the bedroom is on the gallery, a warm delicious haven, with curtains of simple ticking, beams painted palest aqua and floorboards washed in white. The bathroom, white and bright, is a flit downstairs. A two-day breakfast hamper is provided (so are chocolates in a little dish) and the pub is a 15-minute scamper down the hill. Brilliant for walkers, lovers and dreamers; there's even a sofabed for kids.
