  • "We were warmly met on arrival and shown the accommodation which was really really lovely; beautifully furnished - we enjoyed relaxing on the comfortable sofas tat the end of a long walk."

    Property was warm and also has a log burner to use if desired but it was so cosy, even in March, we didn't need it. The kitchen was well equipped and included lots of crockery and cutlery. The location was perfect for us with loads of walks right from the accommodation. Holme has very few facilities - though would highly recommend The Fleece Inn opposite the property - but Holmfirth is a short drive away where there's loads of cafes and restaurants. We'll definitely be returning to the Cow Shed; it was fab!

    Well equipped, ideal location opposite The Fleece pub, which serves take away as well as in-house dining. Catherine was a great host. She was friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout our week long stay.

  • "We had a wonderful stay at The Cowshed."

    The property was outstandingly clean, comfortable and spacious. The location for walking in the Peak District was second to none, and for access to one of the best pubs around (The Fleece Inn). Owners were more than hospitable, very accessible, and extremely friendly and helpful. We would not hesitate to return.

  • "A wonderful stay for our anniversary/baby moon with plenty of local walks, quirky pubs and beautiful drives."

    Catherine was very welcoming and hospitable on our arrival and departure but gave us some very welcomed alone time throughout the week. A couple of short (2-3hour)walks from the door step were easy yet still beautiful and really enjoyable and it was a treat to come back to the wood burner, very powerful shower and star gazing in the back garden. Some of the market towns were a little disappointing with regards to market days but still lots of lovely independent shops and cafes to explore. Our favourite visits were Lady Bower Reservoir (worth spending more than 2 hours there and plenty of parking for free.... Dont pay in the car parks) Longshaw National Trust (most beautiful walk was the pink trail) and Pie night at The Fleece Inn... the pies were quality! A couple of minor adjustments to The Cow Shed would have made our stay the perfect break include a shelf in the shower, a step for the toilet, the dishwasher secured to the wall and a new log basket.

    Lovely friendly owners, with a cute bearded collie called Olive, who will say hello to you when she sees you, but doesn’t bother you at all. Couldn’t be any closer to the village pub, The Fleece. We would definitely recommend, and return to this cottage.

    Lots of little thoughtful gestures, well equipped and really comfortable. Although the cottage is just off a main road, it is very quiet. The view from the rear windows is quite beautiful. Location is very convenient for lots of attractions. We definitely will be back for a longer stay, four nights was not enough! Many thanks to Catherine for her welcome and help during a power cut!!

    We were able the eat together and socialise in the cow shed & still had our own spaces to sleep in. It worked very well for us all. Catherine & her family were very welcoming and the welcome pack was great. Fleece pub which is across the road served great food and a friendly welcome. Great walks from the door across beautiful countryside and plenty to do in the surrounding area. Would recommend the National coal mining museum for an interesting day out.

    You can walk from the front door into the surrounding countryside. The cottage is warm, comfortable (especially the bed) and the bedding, linens and towels are of quality. Great powerful shower and great, equipped kitchen. I would add one request which is to provide a Pyrex casserole dish with a lid to maximise use of the microwave. The cottage is spacious and has nice decor and home comforts. An enjoyable winter stay with welcoming and friendly hosts, who had decorated the cottage with nice additions for the winter season.

    My husband and I loved it so much we didn't want to come home. The old barn has been converted beautifully with lots of love and attention to detail. We arrived to a lovely welcome pack of goodies and milk in the fridge. We had forgotten our milk so that was an extra blessing! Catherine the owner greeted us with a warm welcome and the keys for the property. Fantastic location with beautiful views from the kitchen window. The property is set just off the road that runs through the village but is very quite. There is a gastro pub opposite the entrance gate to the property which for some may sound off putting but don't be. It is a very quite pub and if you didn't know it was there you would hear nothing. Fantastic walks from the door for all levels of walkers.There is a collection of walks in the back of a welcome folder amongst other useful information. The small town of Holme is a 10 minute drive away and well worth a visit. It is very pretty with lots of lovely little quirky shops and cafes. Highly recommend a stay here... we will be back ❤

    Parking off road was easy with a space allocated for my car. The view from the windows was beautiful. The location is ideal for many different pursuits. The "last of the summer wine" tour from Holmfirth is worth the £10 per person for information about the local area and the program. A bus runs an hourly service from Holme through Holmfirth (where buses to many other area can be boarded) into Huddersfield. The terminus is a short walk on the left from the accommodation entrance.

  • "Very nice property good sized rooms one or two little niggles but nothing that dramatically spoilt our experience, ie we found lounge quite dark during the day always had to have table lamps on, and my husband being disabled found the back door steps impossible to negotiate, without there being a handrail to them."

    But other than that it was a nice property in a nice area. The friendly local pub across the road was handy for the odd meal. And the owners were both friendly and helpful.

    Thank you for your comments. We appreciate all feedback and would like to address the points you have made. The Cow Shed has two separate entrances and, although the kitchen door does have two steps into the garden, the garden can easily be accessed via the driveway. The front door allows access directly from the drive into the accommodation which is perfect for wheelchair users and guests with mobility problems. Once inside the two shallow steps, giving access to the bedroom, have a very sturdy had rail. We appreciate that the lounge may feel a little dark on days which are overcast but, as the building was originally a barn, we feel that keeping the original features in place and allowing the natural light to flood through the stone arches compensates for this. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again someday. Property Owner

    The conversion was clearly carried out with love and attention to detail and felt comfy yet luxurious. The host was very helpful and responsive and could not do more to help when asked. Great location for either a stay in break or for getting out and about on walks/visiting local villages and towns. The location of the pub (The Fleece) directly over the road was an absolute bonus - great atmosphere, food and service - would definitely recommend. On a less positive note, ahead of our stay (5weeks and 5days to be precise), I contacted Sykes due to a change in circumstances. They were less then helpful, were not factual about the terms and conditions and pretty much gave me a "tough luck" attitude. Whilst I would recommend the property, I would think twice about booking via Sykes again.

    We loved our stay at the Cowshed. It was so comfortable with great heating and the log burner which we loved using in the evenings! It was great a space for the two of us and all the towels and throws just felt fresh, washed and snuggly. The bed was possibly the most comfortable bed we have stayed in! Catherine was on hand to help with anything we needed and also asked us for advice on any additions to the property. We managed to do several walks straight from the front door - so many lovely reservoirs to walk around and then on our sunny day we did the trip to Mam Tor which was just amazing! A great walk to the Pickled Pheasant with some really great food on the menu. Then further into Holmfirth to Bloc for coffee and cake which was delicious on our rainy day! All in all the property and owners were perfect! We 100% would like to book again and go back to see the scenery in some of the warmer months maybe! Thanks again Catherine and Sam.
