We had very clear instructions and information before arriving, and arrived to find the cottage spotless, with some complementary bread, jams and cakes, which was a lovely touch. The village itâs in is quiet, but has a Co-Op and pub on the doorstep. We walked down to Holmfirth a few times which was easy to do (about 20/25 minutes) and had plenty of places to eat and drink. There are beautiful walking routes from the cottage, and plenty to do a short drive away. The hot tub was a great addition. We had an issue where the power for jets on the hot tub had tripped, but Rob helped us over the phone straight away to find the plug and reset it. Overall, we had a relaxing and enjoyable stay - thank you.

The property is very clean, comfortable and well equipped. The owners are thoughtful and attentive and have made excellent use of the outdoor and indoor space. The wood fired hot tub is very special indeed. And the walks from the cottage enable easy access into nature and to Holmfirth town. We look forward to our return visit.
