• "The cottage is lovely and comfortable."

  An ideal base for visiting the area. The weather was not kind during our stay so we were unable to use the garden area but loved sitting in the dining area watching squirrels and birds through the French windows.

  Glad you enjoyed your stay despite the weather, typically we have had a lovely few days since you left. Pleased you were able to watch the wildlife through the patio doors, the number of different birds we get are quite amazing. Property Owner

  The local area is beautiful! Caroline showed us around when we arrived and recommended some walks and areas to visit, as well as any info we needed for our stay. The cottage was immaculate and the smell that greets you, when you walk through the door, is beautiful and adds to the warm and inviting feel of the cottage. All the little extras were very welcome, like the wine, cake and toiletries-a first in many homes we have rented through Sykes! It was a perfect break away, set in a stunning location, in a 5 star property. Caroline and Duncan should be very proud of not only the beautiful home they provide, but also the high standard of cleaning, the extra mile they go as hosts and the little finishing touches they add to make you feel welcome.

  Clearly a huge amount of effort has gone into decorating this surprisingly spacious cottage. It is beautifully clean, well equipped and the little luxury touches of fluffy towels, lovely hand soap, tea, coffee, cake, wine and milk on arrival make you feel so welcome. It’s a really peaceful property with lots of space including access to a gorgeous outside area. The owner lives just next door and was so kind and welcoming, showing us around and how everything worked, meaning we could enjoy our stay from the minute we arrived. The walks from the door were lovely and plentiful, a short weekend is no where near enough. Our only very minor niggle was the amount of air fresheners which made us both sneeze continuously.

  We stayed last summer and enjoyed it so much we decided it was perfect for a winter break too. We were not disappointed. The weather meant we spent a lot of time indoors, (as we expected). The cottage is furnished to a high standard and spotlessly clean. We were very cosy with the log burner in the living room. Our 9 year old son, generally adverse to going out at the best of times, was very happy in his home from home. Out and about there are lots of walks nearby and a little further afield. We enjoy running and the Trans Pennine Trail is just on the on the doorstep. The owners make a real effort to welcome their guests and nothing is too much trouble. Thank you Caroline.

  She had made us a lovely chocolate cake,there were sweets Christmas crackers and she had even bought us a present! All in all much more than we expected. The cottage was warm, comfortable and it's perfectly situated for long walks whilst being very close to shops etc.

• "The cottage is extremely cosy and decorated and fitted to a very high spec."

  We weren't lucky with the weather unfortunately BUT it didn't matter as you knew you were coming back to such a warm home. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful. There were plenty of leaflets in the cottage on things to do and visit but the owners would recommend the places they find good. We followed all their recommendations and weren't disappointed. The welcome bottle of wine and locally baked cake and pint of milk are just examples of how they want people to feel welcome. We have been renting cottages for many years now and this cottage is one of the best. There is a lot to do in the area whether you like walking or enjoy museums. If you are unsure of where to visit then just book this cottage.

• "Everything about the inside of this beautifully kept cottage is a plus and so well stocked with all you could need."

  The only minor down downside is that it is not situated on a quiet country lane as we thought. We still enjoyed our time there walking different parts of the trans penine trail and Langsett Reservoir as well as visiting Brodsworth House & gardens, Cannon Hall & gardens.

  The cottage was extremely well appointed, with the cosy wood burning stove in the lounge, lovely airy bedrooms - both beautifully finished - and an excellent equipped kitchen. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. We had a lovely time, really enjoyed the beautiful countryside which is ideal for exploring by car, on foot or cycling, or just relaxing at a local tea shop - amazing cakes - or country pub. Altogether a thoroughly enjoyable break - would definitely recommend unreservedly.

  Caroline had gone to great care to add luxurious little touches all over the place which made this cottage a little piece of heaven for our Christmas week away. Having somewhere to park was essential for us so being able to park right out front was great. We arrived to find Christmas decorations, mince pies, toiletries and even dressing gowns! I would 100% recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a holiday home. It was a beautiful base to enjoy the surrounding area. We walked all over and followed some of the routes in a little booklet we found in the the cottage which was so helpful! We were very sorry to have to leave this beautiful home and would have no hesitation with returning!
