Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Barnsley

In only 3 days I had police knocking on my door two times looking for some people with arest warrants, is noisy all the time, smells like marijuana everywhere even from the bath sink

Despite the poor state of the property, the village was lovely! A nice pub, lovely country walks nearby, a very convenient railway station taking you either way to Huddersfield or Sheffield.
Nice local bakery in the village, and very convenient for commuting to the M1 motorway. The neighbours (with the exception of the landlord 2 doors away), where all lovely and helpful.

The public transport links are good as there is a bus outside the property every half hour in both direction. there is a railway station a 10 minute walk away and the building is near main road leading into Barnsley

The area is thought to be a bit 'posh' to locals surrounding the development. There are no public transport links in the development and it's a 5 minute walk to the bus stop. Shops and schools a mile away in the main village.
