Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers frequently commend the cottage's cleanliness, often describing it as meeting the highest standards. This consistent positive feedback suggests that cleanliness is a priority for the property.
The location is celebrated for its amazing views and central position for exploring local attractions. The proximity to walks and the countryside is highly appreciated, indicating a prime location for a holiday retreat.
Comfort is highlighted with mentions of a warm welcome, cosy atmosphere, and quality furniture. However, a few guests noted the beds were too firm for their preference, slightly impacting the overall comfort score.
Facilities like the hot tub and well-equipped kitchen are praised, but some guests suggest improvements such as the addition of an iron, washing machine, and better maintenance of outdoor lighting. These minor criticisms slightly lower the score.
Guests mention a warm welcome with thoughtful touches such as a welcome pack. While these gestures are appreciated, it is important to note that such personal touches, although delightful, may not be guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
This converted stone cottage is attached to the main farmhouse, nestled down a quiet country lane just outside the village of Ripponden in the Ryburn Valley. Set on a working farm, with the encouraging sounds of wildlife encompassing the area, this lovely cottage exudes a quality feel with flagstone floors. Retaining some of its original features, inside you will find a luxurious open-plan living room with exposed beams and underfloor heating. The sitting room boasts a charming woodburner set within the inglenook, and mullioned windows are filled with green landscape scenery from outside. The kitchen is contemporary in style with spotlight illuminating the good quality fixtures. Climb the plush carpeted staircase to the modern bathroom at the top. Indulge in a nice hot soak in the roll top bath after a long day touring this delightful region of Yorkshire. A set of well-presented bedrooms offer zip and link beds to suit your preferred choice of sleeping arrangements. There is plenty of off-road parking at the front of the house, and a lovely enclosed garden at the side. Sit outside with views across to the moors while you sip a lovely glass of wine on a sunny afternoon, or relax in the hot tub after a long day of exploring the local area. Ripponden is a delightful village steeped in history, with its Roman road and Neolithic and Bronze Age remains scattering the area. Rishworth Moor is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and home to many rare animals, as well as the Cat Stones, a series of ancient round barrow burial sites. This village is made up of traditional stone-built cottages, and a small high street with shops, cafes, and several excellent pubs serving food and real ale, all with the River Ryburn flowing gently through the centre. Nearby, Hedben Bridge is a diverse town with restaurants, bars, art galleries and the Rochdale Canal. There is a plethora of walking and cycling opportunities close by, with the Peak District in driving distance. Explore this fantastic region of West Yorkshire from the ideal base.
Ripponden is set in the rural Pennine landscape, three miles from Sowerby Bridge and is made up of traditional stone-built cottages, high street shops, cafe and several pubs. The River Ryburn flows gently through the centre and pretty old weaving villages are found in the surrounding hills. Nearby is Hebden Bridge and the Rochdale Canal. Numerous listed buildings and National Trust properties are close by and the Haworth area is also a must for steam railway enthusiasts who will enjoy the thriving Worth Valley Railway.

Hospitality of owners and staying on a working farm with cattle, horses, goats, dog and welcome box, first class.

The Cottage was accurately described and met our expectations. The location was good for days out - never far to travel, (eg Healey Dell and Hardcastle Crags) but equally happy having car free days at The Cottage with walks from the door. Coming back to relax in the garden and watch the swallows and bats was perfect. Thank you for your hospitality.

So much to see and do in the local area. The cottage was very comfortable and the owners kind, friendly and helpful. It is a beautiful place to stay with fantastic views from the garden and some lovely, dog friendly, local walks.
