“Believe the reviews”
Booked a three night stay at this place as a birthday treat to myself some months in advance so as to avoid disappointment and am very glad I did too.
I did my research on various properties beforehand and due to the fact that there was not a single negative review of this property made my decision that much simpler to make.
On arrival I was greeted with a plate with two delicious homemade shortbread biscuits and a hand written note welcoming me to the place.
The specifications of the property and it's contents is very high,from the furnishings to the kitchen and the very welcome outdoor hot tub. My only negatives are that they hot tub could do with a a roof to keep the rain off and screening as it is visible from the road in front of the cottage, actually it would be better located on the opposite side of the property.
There is no internet at the cottage so if connectivity is important to you, then I suggest you look elsewhere, also mobile phone reception is poor, I found this all to be a plus as it felt more like a real break away from the everyday routine.
Three minutes walk down the lane is a superb little pub called the New Delight Inn, it serves excellent real ales and the bar staff are very friendly and helpful, this is Ben the owners first year as a landlord and I would say he is doing a fantastic job.
A ten minute drive is the wonderful town of Hebden Bridge, it is here that I would suggest is the best breakfast in Yorkshire, look out for the Organic House Cafe, delicious!
So all in all I would declare my birthday treat to be a complete success.
