“Great little cottage in gorgeous Holmfirth”

Thank you to Rebecca and David for our holiday in your little cottage. They are the best hosts, the cottage was beautifully equipped and furnished and very warm at all times. Holmfirth is a place that you immediately miss when you leave it; there is always something more to do and it is impossible to be bored there. Parking is not always possible outside the cottage but is available just down the road in a cheap car park. Love all the little independent shops in Holmfirth, some of which only ...

Parking is not always possible outside the cottage but is available just down the road in a cheap car park. Love all the little independent shops in Holmfirth, some of which only come to light on walking through the narrow streets and ginnels. Holmfirth Spice is the best take-away ever. We will be back

“Sweet cottage”

Thank you so much Rebecca for our stay in your lovely cottage. It was spotlessly clean, warm and welcoming. Located in the heart of Holmfirth, everything was walking distance. I would highly recommend it. I loved the decor and extras supplied.

“Good to warn of steep staircases.”

“The perfect home away from home”

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful cottage. The owners provided us with anything we could ever need, and more! The cottage was absolutely spotless and presented beautifully, it really felt like a home away from home. We are going to miss having a bakery so close (it is worth checking out, only a 2/3 min walk). The Tap House was brilliant for food and drink, Shimla is an excellent Indian, and pubs like the Old Bridge Inn and the Elephant and Castle were superb for a drink. The Huntsman Inn (5 min drive away) had the best Sunday roast I have eaten in a while. Also, if you need to watch football, the Box Office bar in the PictureDrome was great. As you can see, this cottage is perfect and right in the centre of everything. We cannot wait to return!

“We stayed in Holmfirth as we were meeting up with family.”

We found the cottage cosy and clean and all we needed. The owners messaged to say the cottage was ready early for us which was lovely. If you have walking difficulties it may be a struggle as it’s very steep out with. We parked our car twice near the cottage but it’s very tight to find a space, we payed the £2.80 for all day parking in car park at the bottom of the street. The cottage is great for a couple and has everything you need can’t fault it really. If I’m honest Holmfirth was disappointing but that’s just my opinion. If your looking for a stay in that area then Coombes cottage is ideal.

“This was the first time that my partner and I had booked a short weekend stay in a cottage.”

We were certainly not disappointed! We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful cottage. The owners provided us with anything we could possibly want, and more. The communication with the owners was exceptional and they provided us with information in regard to where to eat, shop, and walk. The cottage was spotless and really felt like a home away from home. We cannot wait to return! So impressed!

- Ms Colino, August 2018
“Just a stones throw from sids cafe the cottage is tucked away in a quiet back water above Holmfirth high street.”

Set on three levels we found the cottage to be modern and clean and very comfortable with parking throughout the week just a few yards away along Back Lane.

- Mr Harrocks, July 2018
“We were really looking forward to this trip & we’re not disappointed at all.”

The cottage was perfect for a long weekend stay. It was immaculately clean, smelled lovely, was very homely & comfortable, it had everything we needed & more. The communication by Sykes & the owners of the cottage was warm, friendly & very informative. I would love to stay at this property again and would happily use Sykes Cottages again in the future.

- Miss Pini, June 2018
“The cottage is beautifully decorated & all furnishings are top quality.”

The owners obviously care very much that you enjoy your holiday & communication was excellent. Location is great for central Holmfirth & visiting the wider area. Holmfirth itself is worth visiting especially if you are a summer wine fan , we really enjoyed the bus tour that goes from the infamous cafe. It takes you all over the valley & the views are fabulous. There’s a good choice of restaurants don’t miss Mezze or the Whippet & Pickle. We would highly recommend this accommodation.

- Mr Jordan, June 2018
“The cottage is very clean and well equipped, in a great location and has lots of nice touches from the host.”

We took our 12 week old baby and had a lovely time, but in case it is not obvious to others (as it wasn't to us in planning) Holmfirth and its cobbled alleys and narrow pavements are not pram friendly and most of the cafes are a difficult squeeze too accessibility wise. If you can't park near the cottage, a bit tricky - but not impossible - to transport baby and luggage and navigating the stone steps down to the kitchen with a baby in hand is a bit daunting too - just be aware before booking.

- Mrs Mahon Ball, May 2018
“Fantastic Cottage In Centre Of Holmfirth”

The cottage is in a great location, within a couple of minutes walk into the centre of Holmfirth where there are plenty of shops, restaurants and pubs to occupy your time. The cottage itself was spotless and in excellent condition throughout. It had all the amenities you would require and was snug, cosy and very much home from home. Would definitely recommend to others and communication and attention to detail from the hosts was impeccable pre, during and post our stay.

“Cosy cottage - just perfect!”

Stayed at this cottage for a weekend visit to Holmfirth and have to say it was the best cottage I have ever stayed in. Everything from the correspondence with the owners, the welcome pack, the decor, the facilities and the location were just perfect. The cottage has absolutely everything you could need. More than a home from home and we were so sad that we couldn’t have spent longer there. Spotlessly clean and so well equipped. Our friends from Holmfirth visited for breakfast and thought the cottage a delight too. Handy for a hop in to Holmfirth and although there is no direct parking the nearby car park was safe and cheap. Thank you to David and Rebecca - we will return.

- Kathryn B, April 2018
“Accommodation was excellent, spotlessly clean and well equipped.”

The stairs are a little steep but nothing we couldn't handle. Took our slippers as per recommended by previous reviews and felt at home immediately. Will definitely stay longer on our next visit.

- Mrs Gale, April 2018
“Very clean and excellent cottage,owners are very nice,make you feel welcome.”

Plenty of things to do in the area of Holmfirth.

- Mr Shand, March 2018
“Coombes Hill Cottage is the best one I have ever booked, just got home from our second visit there and will definitely be booking again for a holiday next year.”

Not one thing to fault, everything is thought about down to a T and the log fire is our favourite aspect! 10/10!!

- Mrs Powell, March 2018
“This is a fantastic cottage, spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped.”

It has everything you could wish for in a holiday cottage with lovely little extras. Holmfirth is a lovely place to chill with good restaurants, bars and shops and is the perfect base for going on walks and exploring nearby towns. It's always nice to return to the cosiness of the cottage. We enjoyed our stay so much that we are rebooking for next year.

- Mrs Hughes, March 2018
“Coombs hill cottage is one of the best and most well equipped cottages we have stayed in.”

It is spotless clean ( home from home ) it has everything you could possibly need and more. It is a real credit to the owners. I am sure we will go back and stay there again. Also it’s a stones throw to the town centre with lots of shops, bars and restaurants, and of course the famous last of the summer wine cafe etc.

- Mrs Brocklehurst, February 2018
“Small, well equipped and convenient cottage.”

The cottage is centrally located and within walking distance of shops, restaurants and pubs in the center of Holmfirth. The cottage is well equipped and maintained if rather small. There is not enough room for 4 adults; my wife and I and adult son filled the bedrooms and closet. Back Lane is very narrow so we parked our small SUV in the car park on the main road below the cottage.

- Dave W, February 2018
“Delightful cottage”

We had a lovely weekend at Coombes hill cottage. The cottage is delightful with everything you could possibly need and more. It was spotless clean and a joy to stay in. Just a few minutes walk to the town centre with shops bars and restaurants.

- belpersjim, February 2018
“We had such a lovely stay in the cottage, Please don't take any utensils!”

! They have everything you could wish for. I wanted to take the bed home with me, best nights sleep ever. We thought parking could be an issue but was not the case. Location perfect and and holmfirth is such a charming village with some excellent pubs and restaurants.

- Mr Jackson, January 2018
“A delightful cottage in a great location.”

We stayed in Coombes Hill cottage over the New Year and it was wonderful. The cottage is like a home from home. It's tastefully decorated. warm, cosy, clean and very well equipped. It had everything we could possibly want. The cottage is only a few minutes walk from Holmfirth centre which has lots of great places to eat, drink and shop. It's also on a quiet lane which meant there was very little traffic noise. Car parking on the lane is tight but we had no problems getting a spot. We would highly recommend Coombs Hill Cottage for a relaxing break.

- 401Janet, January 2018

“Lovely stay in a Beautiful cottage”

I've stayed in a few cottages in the last couple of years and this one is by far the best. Absolutely beautiful. The pictures of the cottage look amazing but in person, it's even better. Clean, tidy and perfectly decorated. The kitchen is more stocked up with cutlery and utensils than our own at home. We felt right at home before we had even unpacked. Holmfirth is a lovely small town with lots to see. The snow on the mountains in the background made it all the more beautiful. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.

- Tora L, December 2017
“The website description is accurate.”

We are 2 close friends of retirement age. A small and cosy cottage with plenty of light. You need to be able to manage stairs ok which are steep and narrow with 1 handrail. Very comfortable, great beds, modern bathroom, very well equipped kitchen, delightful details to make you feel at home. Road outside is quiet. It is quite narrow. Parking space in the road but not directly outside the front door. A lovely stay in a beautiful area both for driving and walking.

- Miss Oliver, December 2017
“Lovely, cosy cottage.”

Beautifully maintained and absolutely spotless. Everything provided for a fantastic break - dvds, books (especially those about walks in the area), games, brollies, welcome pack of tea, coffee, milk and biscuits and even torches to help with the short walk back from the pub/restaurants. Holmfirth has all you need as well. Lovely, lovely, lovely.

- Ms Law, November 2017
“A lovely cottage with all you could need to make your stay enjoyable.”

We felt extremely relaxed.

- Mr Banyard, October 2017
“We really enjoyed our week in this delightful cottage.”

It has been decorated and furnished with a lot of thought and great flair. Not only is it very comfortable, but absolutely everything had been thought of to make our stay enjoyable plus lots of extras that you don't usually find in a rented holiday cottage

- Mrs Heard, September 2017
“What a pretty cottage.”

Tastefully decorated and furnished to a very high standard. Equipped with everything needed to enjoy a wonderful holiday. Absolutely spotless. Shops, pubs, and restaurants only a few minutes walk into Holmfirth. Walks, starting from the front door and in all directions, taking you amongst the most beautiful scenery. We did not move the car in our two weeks stay as there is an excellent bus service. There are regular links to many cities, towns and lovely villages. The neighbours and local people are so friendly and helpful. We had a problem and Rebecca and Dave sorted it out immediately. Thank you so much for all those "little extras", we really did appreciate them. Stayed for 2 weeks , with so much to see and do which we could have stayed longer. Our best wishes for the future, Pauline & Ronnie Sunderland, Tyne & Wear

- Miss Smith, July 2017
“Lovely cottage in every way - very comfortable with beautiful furnishings.”

Thoughtful welcome gifts and well stocked with books and dvds and leaflets for local attractions. Great quiet location in a little town with everything you'd need.

Very well located and very clean. Only things are as stated: parking is tight, accommodation is over 3 steep floors and 1 bed is only 4 foot.

- Mrs Tyler, May 2017
“This cottage became like a home to our family for the last 10 days.”

It's just amazing the location, the property, well equipped and a place to go back to. We loved it. We travelled everyday one hour distance to the most beautiful places in the region and we found many surprises.

- Mrs Miranda, April 2017
“This is a charming little cottage tucked away behind the church offering very quick access to the town.”

The owners have paid great attention to furnishing and equipping Coombes Hill and it offers a very cosy and comfortable holiday base.

- Mrs Filtness, March 2017

About the location

HOLMFIRTH

Meltham 4 miles; Peak District National Park 6 miles.

The old traditional Pennine town of Holmfirth is situated in the heart of the beautiful Holme Valley, on the edge of the West Yorkshire Pennines. Made famous by The Last of The Summer Wine TV series, there is more to Holmfirth than Compo and Nora Battye’s stockings! The ‘Picturedrome’, the North of England’s finest live music venue attracts many famous bands and is located right in the centre of the town. The pelotons from the Tour de France 2014 and the Tour de Yorkshire have both been through this quaint Holme Valley town en route to the iconic 524 metre Holme Moss climb two miles away. It is in these hills where cycling’s triple Olympic Medalist Ed Clancy grew up. Holmfirth also has a good public swimming pool and fitness centre, parks and some super shops and restaurants. The people here are friendly, the streets are quaint and the scenery is breathtaking. The Peak District National Park with its moors, dales, forests, lakes and reservoirs is also easily accessible. The Upper Derwent Valley, home to the spectacular Ladybower and Derwent reservoirs, and where the famous 617 ‘Dambusters’ Squadron practiced the audacious bombing raid on the Ruhr valley in 1943, is only a short scenic drive away. Slightly further is Chatsworth, the stately home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, and situated close to the market town of Bakewell, the home of Bakewell Puddings. The Yorkshire Sculpture Park, The National Coal Mining Museum, Wentworth Castle, and the Hepworth Gallery are also within short drives away and well worth a visit.
