About this property

Settled at the heart of the quaint West Yorkshire village of Holmbridge, at the beginning of the infamous climb up Holme Moss, lies this charming, two-bedroom holiday home, The Other Place. The cottage was a mill workers home with an annexed blacksmiths, Now converted into a lovely home from home and library, welcoming families of four and their two well-behaved dogs for a relaxing, self-catered escape near the Peak District National Park. Park up roadside and step up into your lovely new home-from-home, where you'll be greeted by a tastefully-laid out, open-plan living space complete with a fully-equipped kitchen, a dining table with seating for four, and a sitting area featuring a large corner sofa and a centrepiece woodburning stove, the perfect spot to gather with your loved ones to plan the rest of your getaway. In warmer months, be sure to take a glass of your favourite tipple out onto the patio where you can sit back and relax as you soak in views of the not-so-distant rolling hillside. When sleep finally calls, head upstairs to refresh with a rejuvenating shower or lazy soak before retiring to the double or twin bedroom. The whole of the top floor is a bright sunny library which was once the blacksmiths; it's a perfect space for settling down with a book in the evening. When you're ready the next day, head out to explore what your local area has in store. There are lovely dog-friendly gastro pubs within a short walking distance of the property; downhill is the Pickled Pheasant and uphill in the village of Holme is The Fleece Inn - both do great food, especially Sunday lunches. Holmbridge Cricket club, and St David's Church are also just a few yards down at the bottom of the hill. On the hillside opposite, you'll see from the cottage, there's the vineyard! Sheveling Wine Estates do wine tasting tours, afternoon tea, lunches and dinner. Less than two miles away is the town of Holmfirth, made famous by the long running TV programme 'Last of the Summer Wine' and by the Grand Depart of the Tour de France in 2014. The cottage is right on the route of the race! Holmfirth has lovely shops, bars and restaurants and plenty of festivals. Your visit to the region would be incomplete without seeing what the Peak District National Park has to offer. Make your next trip to West Yorkshire unforgettable by booking The Other Place.

The delightful village of Ebberston is situated on the edge of Dalby Forest, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, just 6 miles from Pickering and boasting a main street lined with pretty stone cottages and an excellent inn. The sound of running water can be heard from the stream which swiftly flows through the village down to the Derwent River at nearby Yedingham, whilst the surrounding area provides a good range of activities, including a horse riding centre, a 9 hole golf course, a children's playground and mountain biking for the more adventurous! Castle Howard and Dalby Forest both provide great walking and cycling opportunities for visitors of all abilities, whilst the lovely nearby market town of Pickering offers quaint shopping streets, an historic castle and access to the famous North York Moors Steam Railway. With the popular seaside towns of Scarborough and Filey, with their long, safe, sandy beaches and interesting tourist attractions within easy driving distance, this ideal location has plenty to offer all the family, at any time of year!

  • Kevin

    Lovely surrounding area with beautiful views.

  • Myra

    If you don’t want to drive into Holmfirth, there’s a bus stop directly outside. We wanted for nothing the owners left us provided for very well.

  • Diane

    Easy walking distances to good pubs and places to eat. Nothing not too like would definitely stay at The Other Place again.
