Mirk Cottage

Eventually after a few detours located Mirk Cottage.

Beautiful location up on the moor. Very uncomfortable with speed of traffic going past ground floor window. Speed limit outside 40 but traffic goes much faster. Bed mattress too soft leading to backache. High table really inconvenient to use. Property needs a bread knife, milk jug, butter dish and salad servers.

Owners very friendly and helpful.

Had a wonderful stay at this property and would highly recommend. Also many many beautiful walking and nature spots very near as well as other activities and towns.

only problem was the traffic noise!

And the good old Yorkshire weather.

Great accommodation.

Very well built and feels like home. 2nd time we have stayed here and we will be back for sure. Owners very welcoming and always available to help with anything.

Mirk is absolutely a home-from-home in all respects in my experience.

Pete, the Owner/Manager, was very approachable, and extremely friendly. He has created a getaway that’s going to be hard to beat. It was our first time …. it won’t be our last.

A wonderful stay.

Perfect cottage, cosy, warm, clean, has all the amenities and facilities. Beautiful views and especially waking up to the cute sheep’s and cows was bliss. Close to most local attractions. Thanks to Pete for being a brilliant host.

Lovely cottage - great walks in the area.

Well equipped Nice welcome pack

We had a lovely stay in Mirk Cottage, the only negative was that we hadn't booked for longer.

The cottage felt comfy and we felt right at home. It was immaculatly clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Lovely view of fields with cows and sheep. Peaceful and relaxing. We look forward to booking again in the future.

I recently stayed at Mirk Cottage with my wife and son for 1 week.

Once we entered the property we where very impressed to the cleanliness and coziness of the cottage. The beds are very comfortable which was very welcome after a 6 hour drive. We mainly ate out but the nights we cooked their was good facilities at our disposal as well as a nice farm shop a short drive away. We enjoyed the log burner in the evening with plenty of logs on the side. Also plenty to do within a half hour drive. Halifax is a must to visit with the Borough Market and Piece Hall. Overall we left very happy with the cottage and Pete the owner is a very friendly helpful chap. We would definitely stay again.

Lovely cottage.

Super clean and well equipped. Really enjoyed our stay.

This was my second stay at one of the four cottages in this block belonging to the same owner.

I was very happy to return, and was impressed by the way the cottage is still in great condition after a few years - the cottages must have been really well converted with quality materials rather than being done up superficially / on the cheap. The stay was great, with the cottage warm and clean, and with everything you need. As a cyclist, it is great to have secure cycle storage inside a stone outbuilding as well as outside via loops set into the outside walls. There's also a cycle cleaning facility where you can hose off mud etc. The owner is often around and able to help with any queries, but leaves you to get on with things rather than intruding. It's great to find a cottage rental that is just right, and that you are happy to go back to again.

Excellent stay in well maintained and equipped cottage.

Fully recommended

Would not hesitate to return and have already recommended to family and friends.

The cottage is cosy, well equipped and furnished to a high standard. It is a credit to the owners. Beds are really comfortable with top quality bedding and towels. There is parking on site and amazing views from the windows. The surrounding area is a delight, we loved Hebden Bridge and used the rail link from there to access more of the area. The local farm shop is just a few minutes away serving lovely food and selling local produce. There are local pubs to visit. Thank you for the welcome tray and a lovely stay in your beautiful, peaceful cottage.

If you are looking for a peaceful holiday this is the place for you.

Also in good reach of visiting by car to local villages. The property is so organised even offering an extra space of a freezer in outer building in case you want to get food in. A welcome tray of goodies on arrival and milk in fridge to have that cuppa after a long journey. The views are stunning from bedroom window, watching the sun go down over the hills. Lovely chat with Pete when we left. To anyone looking for this property look for the "Penny Farthing Bike" at the entrance. Thank you again for a brilliant stay.

Lovely well presented cottage.

Clean and comfortable. Situated near stunning moorland scenery. Fantastic Craggies farm shop and cafe nearby. Good parking available. Would definitely consider returning for another stay.

Everything was as listed and the support of the owners was great when needed.

Great property in a stunning location. Highly recommended.

Lovely cottage everything was perfect.

The only thing I would say is the dining table and chairs were a little to high. We managed but it might be uncomfortable for some people. Really recommend the cottage!

We’ve had another lovely stay at ‘Mirk’ cottage, cozy, warm, it has everything you need.

Thank you so much for the gift and welcome package, it is always greatly appreciated. Another lovely touch was the Christmas tree, can’t wait to come back again later in the year!

There was nothing we didn’t like about this cottage from the moment we arrived.

Directions and entry instructions were easy to follow, the views are fabulous and the cottage is very nicely and comfortably furnished. There’s plenty of cooking equipment which is great as there’s a fabulous farm shop nearby, a short drive or walkable. Although there’s an undercounter fridge with small freezer, there’s also access to a bigger freezer. Great for leftovers or things you might want to take home from the farm shop. The cottage does front onto a road that takes a fair bit of traffic. For us this didn’t matter as it was getting colder and we mostly had windows closed but this might have been more of an issue in summer if you wanted open windows, especially overnight. Lovely property though in a great location. Owner friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again. Highly Recommended.

Fabulous cottage in a great location.

The cottage is of a very high standard, beautifully prepared , very clean & well maintained. It has everything you need, lovely & warm , comfy beds & sofas, a decent sized TV plus a log burner for extra homely feel & warmth. Off road secure parking too . Detailed instructions provided for all appliances , which was super helpful. We will definitely be coming back .

This is our second visit to Mirk Cottage and it was fantastic.

The cottage is spotlessly clean, we had everything we needed and the fire is just heaven on a cold night! The location is great and within easy distance of lots of varied activities. We can’t wait to come back in December!

For anybody booking for 1 week great but having to pay double booking fee for 2 weeks find it excessive.

Having said that it is a nice cottage in a lovely Picturesque setting. Would stay again.

Lovely warm cosy cottage in a beautiful location, perfectly situated for exploring the local area on foot, bike or in the car.

Car parking off road was a welcome bonus. The interior was finished to a very high standard and very clean throughout. Communication prior to arrival was very helpful and information provided in the cottage was just right. The welcome basket was a nice touch - thank you.

We had a lovely stay at Mirk Cottage.

It was immaculate and beautifully decorated. Definitely one of the nicest we have stayed in. The owner was on hand for any concerns. Wish we could have stayed longer. Very close to local shops for groceries etc, pubs and restaurants were close by. Our favourite place was Hebdon Bridge, about 10 minutes away by car. The place to visit is Craggies Farm Shop and Cafe. Only 2 minutes away and serves lovely food, especially breakfast. The views from the bedroom windows are the best part. It is a beautiful area to visit with stunning scenery. Can't recommend this place enough.

The cottage is stunning and the setting is perfect for a relaxing stay.

Spotless and extremely comfortable, the decor is to a high standard and beds comfortable. We would lie in bed in the mornings just gazing out of the windows across the moors and listening to the sheep. Perfectly situated for discovering the hidden gems of the Calder valley and we recommend Craggies for breakfast which is literally a 2 minute drive. Strong wifi signal which was good because I needed to work whilst there. Shower is powerful and no shortage of hot water. The smoke detector started beeping and Pete the owner was round in minutes to change the battery. Highly recommend Mirk cottage,

Our second visit to Mirk cottage.

This stay was a good as our first if not better. The cottage was cleaned and equipped to a high standard with a nice welcome pack. The situation is ideal to tour around Calderdale with pubs and farm shop within easy reach. I am sure we will visit again in the future.

A fantastic cottage in a fabulous location with wonderful hosts.

Looking forward to visiting again.

Beautiful cottage with everything one needed, spotlessly clean with host’s available via phone with prompt reply when needed.

Would definitely recommend.

A gem of a cottage.

Spotlessly clean, finished to a very hard standard and looked after.

We had a lovely stay at the cottage.

We had everything we needed, beautifully decorated, spotless and cosy. The smart TV is a bonus after a long day! It’s close (by car) to some great pubs for eating and there’s lots to do in the surrounding area. We would love to come back.

A superb place.

Everything fantastic. Had an amazing week. Will be back. Thank you.

Another wonderful stay in Mirk Cottage, although sadly on my own this time as my husband died suddenly in August.

Everything was just perfect as always. The Cottage continues to be very comfortable, warm and well equipped, and ideally situated for our family to visit. I would highly recommend it and thank the owners for their kindness.

Just perfect in every way.

Lovely Cottage, well equipped , nicely furnished & spotlessly clean .

Excellent parking, nice views of the moors from the front windows. Comfortable double bed in each of the two bedrooms. Would definitely stay here again. Never saw the hosts but got a message from them on day of arrival asking if everything was ok.

Lovely location for exploring the area, lots of places to visit nearby.

Short drive to a number of lovely places to eat. Cottage beautiful and immaculately clean. Faultless. 10/10 would stay again.

We had a very relaxing week at our holiday cottage .

All the comforts of home with beautiful views . Would stay there again.

Beautiful well equipped cottage set in lovely surroundings great Wi-Fi and plenty of parking at the rear.

Plenty of pubs to visit and the farm shop round the corner was great. We would definitely return.

We have stayed in the sister property Shep several times and Mirk is just as good.

Very well equipped kitchen (including foil, kitchen roll, dishwasher tablets, fairy liquid etc things which are so often not provided), lovely comfy sofas and beds, good shower, wifi - in fact all the ingredients needed for a great stay. This is an excellent and stylish holiday cottage. The cottage was spotless throughout. The view of the moors from the bedroom is fab and seeing the lambs in the field across the road was a lovely bonus.

Absolutely incredible property, we had the most wonderful stay.

Very clean and really well presented. The owners had thought about everything you could possibly need from salt to kitchen roll and even washing pods for your laundry. The views were spectacular with the added bonus of seeing the sheep and lambs from bed. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was spotless. Thoroughly enjoyed our time here and will definitely be coming back. The only thing we were surprised by was that the property fronts onto a road which wasn’t clear in the listing. You could hear cars passing with the windows open but we soon got used to it. There is so much to do nearby, if you’re thinking of staying, we’d highly recommend. The owners were on hand via text and even let us know of events going on in the area.

Mirk is a gem of a holiday cottage.

With everything you need for a relaxing, rural break. The cottage is beautifully designed and finished, with a real attention to detail. It is cosy, comfortable and contemporary. The host couldn’t have been more helpful. I’ll be back.

Your cottage is a joy, warm and cosy.

The underfloor heating was very welcome in February and the woodburner was easy to light. Well equipped with no need to bring extras of anything. Ample parking was available and enjoyed the farm shop cafe just up the road..

My stay in this beautiful cottage was excellent.

The location was stunning, the property was amazing. The owners were available anytime you had a question, but the great thing was they did not disturb you. They were contactable by phone and text, which gave you peace of mind and also the knowledge that they were there if you needed them. But they also did not disturb you, and left you in peace to enjoy your holiday. I cannot put into words, the beauty of the cottage, the commitment and dedication that was put in to ensure that you had every facility needed to enjoy your stay. The warmth, the character, the views and the facilities were just 100% perfect.

Very nice place in a rural place.

Everything is perfect. Highly recommended.

Gorgeous little cottage, lovely kitchen with everything you would need for a week.

Comfy beds, really nice shower room, everything was spotless and new. Too hot when we went to try the log burner, but I imagine it would be a lovely cosy little cottage in the winter.

We had a super break - cottage interior & exterior are excellent quality, new, clean & with real attention to detail for guests.

It had everything we needed, comfy beds, super views, ample parking, excellent Robin Hood pub food nearby & lambs in the field!

A really nice cottage.

Well equipped and comfortable with plenty of parking. Great for walking and cycling. Shame the local pub has closed, like so many.

This little cottage was a very pleasant place to stay.

Everything was new and finished beautifully. Well equipped. Lovely comfortable beds. The view from the front bedroom window, onto the moors, was stunning. Definitely recommend to friends.

Beautiful cottage Well equipped Had difficulty using the smart tv but that is mainly because we have Sky Q and didn’t want to try accessing the digital information Would highly recommend this cottage

Very well presented high finished holiday cottage you will not be disappointed really enjoyed our stay and a great location for walks.

We loved the cottage, it felt very homely but also modern.

Great comfortable beds. Underfloor heating downstairs was lovely and lovely soft carpets upstairs. There was a Christmas tree in which was a lovely touch thank you! We had snow but there was grit for the drive which we only noticed once it had melted. Overall, a great cottage and i would highly recommend

We booked this last minute, the cottage was absolutely beautiful.

Had absolutely everything you could possibly need. It was super spacious and in a beautiful remote area. The cottage was so clean too. We went for a walk near by and a pub lunch at the Old Gate in Hebden bridge which was lovely too! Overall the stay was perfect and we will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our week in Mirk cottage, it was extremely lovely.

The cottage has been completely renovated and Furnished to a very high standard, and so clean and comfortable that we didn’t want to leave. We even tried to extend our stay. Would we visit again, most definitely. Would we recommend booking this cottage to other people…..YES most definitely The owners are very friendly and helpful. Look forward to a return visit Eileen & Steve

We had a lovely stay in this cottage.

The owner seemed to have thought of everything down to a pint of milk in the fridge! The beds were very comfortable and the cottage was lovely and warm. I would definitely recommend a stay here.

A beautiful cottage in a stunning location.

The cottage was spotless on arrival and decorated to a very high standard, we were very impressed. We had everything we needed and were very well informed of everything before and during our stay. The shower was amazing, beds were comfy and good storage for all your belongings. The wood burner is a fantastic touch too. Very cosy and very homely when you get back from a days adventure. Hebden Bridge is a must as its a beautiful little town to walk round, lots of little cafes and bars and a lovely market, a playground for the children and a nice walk by the canal. We ate at the White House one evening and it was a fantastic meal so would highly recommend! Blackpool was only just over an hour away and Leeds was nice for shopping. We would highly recommend this cottage, the only thing I would say is, and it's just personal preference, is that we have 2 boys and they had to share a double bed and it's a shame that either 2 singles or a bunk bed weren't available. This certainly did not interfere but would have just been slightly better for us as a family and we were fully aware of this at the time of booking. We would love to go back to Mount Pleasant at some point and have certainly marked it as one of our favourites!! We have no doubt that this will be a five star property on trip advisor when word gets out!!

5 star comfort in a stunning location!

The cottage is beautiful and clean.

It is evidently brand new and that’s what we liked. It had all the essentials and all information provided was very clear. We met the owner Pete and he was very genuine and friendly. It is a great base to go off and visit local areas. We really enjoyed our stay.(2 adults and a 6 week old baby)

The cottage was in pristine condition.

Beautiful decor throughout too. The facilities provided were excellent including the welcome tray on arrival, that was a lovely touch! Lovely setting overlooking lots of fields and sheep! We would definitely recommend this cottage.

Beautifully renovated and well equipped cottage in stunning scenery.

We have booked for another week later in the year.

Absolutely first class accommodation.

Spotlessly clean, fully kitted out with everything you could need, generous welcome pack, great location, comfy beds, beautiful views, friendly owners. Just a one mile walk to Craggies farm shop and cafe. Lots to do in the area and lots of lambs in the field right opposite when we stayed there. It is right on the road, so if road noise would put you off, please reconsider booking this house. It didn't bother us at all, but we were aware of it, and in summer with windows open, it could be an issue for some. Thank you for a perfect relaxing break.

This cottage had everything we needed, spotless inside and we very much enjoyed our stay.

We had a great week away at Mirk Cottage.

It’s in a lovely location, with great views over the moors. The cottage is modern and really well equipped. The wood burner is a lovely touch too and a log fire in the evening is a great way to finish off a day exploring Yorkshire. Would highly recommend.

As always the standard of accommodation was superb.

The cottage was well equipped and perfect for a week away relaxing. Would definitely recommend to others.

The cottage is modern, comfortable and well-equipped with a great location looking out onto the moors.

Well placed for days out and walking. Definitely recommended!

What a lovely cottage this is, it had everything we needed for our stay.
