The cottage was in a very quiet location near to Slaithwaite. There were generous amounts of coal and wood left for the fire. The washing machine and fridge worked well. Wi-Fi was excellent. Slaithwaite has an abundance of excellent cafes. Try the Handmade Bakery or the Northern Sole cafe for your breakfast each day.

The cottage needs a lot of internal renovation improvements. The kitchen is 30 years out of date and shows it. Cutlery and mugs were very poor quality. We obtained two new mugs for our personal use. Plates and glasses okay. There’s a lot of random and worn out stuff in the kitchen. It needs a total replacement of everything. There is little room for food prep, which we passed on. The bathroom is cold and old. The bath tiles have traces of mold and the tile grouting elsewhere is grey with age. The toilet flush handle repeatedly came off needing the cistern lid to be removed to fix it. The shower sounds like an outboard motor for a boat when switched on. The carpets downstairs are worn in places. The old leather sofa was cold to the touch. We had to clean the tv remote control of food residue before we used it. The TV is old and pre High definition. Bedrooms were tired and dated but you could get to sleep on the beds. It’s expensive for what you get. I do hope the owners have plans for renovation because the cottage could be superb if renovated to a good standard.

the location was great for our requirements

bit musty smelling. dated/mismatched furniture

cute cosy cottage in a beautiful area

kitchen equipment good but a few tea bags or coffee would have been appreciated on arrival . Later , on request the host kindly supplied us with a small supply of olive oil and salt.

Lovely location, very quiet and relaxing. The cottage had everything we.needed, will love to come back and stay longer next time x

Lovley location in the hills no noise great private parking and such a lovley little cottage with open fire

quite and peaceful

The day we left

On arrival up the long un-lit drive where we had to get out in the dark and open/close the gate led me to step in an ankle deep wet muddy pothole. The steps into property were extremely icy and very dangerous. The fire had been lit by the owners prior to our arrival but the property was still damp and freezing. The plates and dishes in the cupboard were damp, so was the banister. Due to the fact the fire had to remain lit for the heating to work it was very difficult to maintain a comfortable temperature. We had to go to Asda to buy more kindling and firelighters. On calling the property there was no answer. Prior to this communication had been good. No tea/coffee/sugar available which i believed to be standard when renting a property as this has been the case everywhere else we have stayed. I would not recommend staying here during the winter months as the heating is insufficient and it's just far too cold. Tried running a bath, the water ran cold way before full. The shower was extremely noisy. We spent the whole weekend from start to finish trying to remain warm which was near impossible. Was not worth the price we paid. Overall a very disappointing and uncomfortable stay.

staff was very co operative landlord was too good she even started the fire in our house

location

Comfortable cottage with good facilities. Quiet location with access to local walks for all. Didn’t meet the hosts but communication was friendly and easy. Information available in the cottage was first class.

A little cold during winter, for those used to open fires it won’t be a problem.

accomodation is lovely, great fireplace

we went on the tipping week between summer-ish weather and winter, so the heating and the electric blanket weren't provided yet. we had some radiator we could add in our bedrooms, but it takes time to warm-up.

Clean, comfy, well equipped and located. Very welcoming owners who made sure we were settled on arrival.

nothing

self catering

Beds were comfortable and bathroom was a good size although there wasn't extractor fan. The views were lovely and it was very peaceful.

Very awkward access down a single track muddy lane and through a farm gate then up an unmade road. House smelled damp and heating was difficult to manage, with radiators heated by an open coal fire.

It was fine for a quick overnight stay but was a bit tricky to find! The fire was kindly put on when we arrived which made it very cozy.
