"Fab stay thank you there was everything you could possibly want"

"The cottage was so good, easy to park in the bay."
Lovely decor, very welcoming.The facilities were just what we needed.
We are so pleased to hear you had a lovely stay at our cottage, we aim to make it as warm and cosy as possible with everything you could need while you’re here with a fully equipped kitchen. We are fortunate to have a dedicated parking space for one car on a private lane, making life a little easier for our guests. We hope to be able to welcome you again in the future :-) Property Owner

"A very comfortable and well equipped property."
We really enjoy going.

"Olive Tree Cottage is a perfect base to explore this part of Yorkshire."
Great communication from Lynda. Off road parking is a bonus, and key collection very easy. The cottage size is very deceptive from the outside. It’s like a tardis once you get inside. Warm and cozy. Bring some logs to set a real fire in the wood burner. A garden too which will be lovely on warmer days. A wonderful shop with a deli just around the corner so no need really, to bring any food or drink with you. Be confident with your booking for Olive Tree Cottage. You won’t be disappointed.

"We had a wonderful stay at Olive Tree Cottage."
The cottage was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and equipped with everything you would need. The private parking was a great bonus on the small lane that the cottage is located on, a location which meant almost total silence at night despite being close to the centre of town. The host provided all the info we needed for the cottage as well as some local recommendations which were appreciated. Honley itself is a fantastic base to explore the surrounding area, whether on foot or via the impressive bus and train links. We brought our two whippets with us and the town is very dog friendly. All in all, couldn’t recommend Olive Tree Cottage highly enough and we would have no hesitation in staying again.

"This property offers everything you would require as a 'home from home'."
The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could need however, there are also multiple choices of local venues for food (indian, pub classics, chinese, fish and chips....). A local shop (less than 5 minutes walk) stocks a range of essentials and has a deli/fresh stock.The decor is lovely and the property was spotless. Comfortable beds throughout and an added bonus of a large garden to relax in (weather permitting) The location is perfect for visiting a number of attractions- there is also a good bus service and a train station in the village if required. Great local walks allowing for early morning adventures with our dog. Would recommend this property.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, we are thrilled to hear you had a wonderful stay. As you mention, we do have a array of great restaurants close by and Taylors, the local shop is fabulous for all the essentials and more. I'm pleased to hear your dog enjoyed the exploring too, there are plenty of woods and fields with stunning views that can take you miles if you are up for a hike :-) Thank you again for booking Olive Tree Cottage, we hope we can welcome you again in the future.

"Lovely house, very clean and comfortable, great location with pub and shop nearby, short walk into large village centre."
Park just up the road for dogs. Great communication from owner along with useful information, Would highly recommend.
-
"A super cottage in a great location."
Spotlessly clean and quality from top to bottom - from great mattresses to bed linen and towels. We also loved the gorgeous artworks. We’ve stayed in a few cottages in the area over the years visiting family and this is by far the best. We will definitely use Olive Cottage again and would highly recommend.

"Just been to the Olive Tree Cottage and it was lovely!"
The owner was really helpful and easy to get in touch with. The cottage it welcoming and inviting! The beds are super comfy. The cottage is a walk away from the local town. You can walk up castle hill from the cottage which is a lovely walk for those hikers with pub stops along the way! Would definitely recommend to anyone!

"We spent a week as a family of 4, plus our dog at Olive Tree Cottage and we all enjoyed our stay."
Tucked away, this hidden gem is home from home, well equipped and maintained to a good standard. We were welcomed with complimentary teas/coffees and biscuits, which was a nice touch. It was a good base for us, to be able to see family not far away, as well as visiting local attractions and great walks on the doorstep. A clean and tidy house with a kitchen courtyard and 2 lawned gardens, perfect for everyone.

"Great cottage that was very comfortable and very clean, the lounge with the two settees and log burner was a delight."
There is a very good bathroom with a fantastic shower, the owner Linda keeps this place immaculate, and communication is excellent. We will definitely visit again and would have no hesitation in recommending it to family and friends.
Aww that's wonderful feedback, thank you so much David. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future :-) Property Owner

"The cottage looks small from the outside but when you get in, it's a real gem."
It was very clean, comfortable and cosy. All you need is there. Top marks to Linda & Jason. The bedrooms were all excellent - if I was going to be picky, the only thing was the front smallest bedroom didn't have a reading light. We found the cottage very difficult to find though. For future reference, once you get to the excellent Taylors Food shop, with the shop on your left hand side, the cottage is about 50 yards further on, down the lane marked "Private Road". I would highly recommend a Sunday lunch at the excellent Jacob's Well pub. A real traditional nosh up.
Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback, it means a lot to us and we are thrilled you loved the cottage. Following your feedback we are pleased to say, we have added a reading light to the smaller front bedroom :-) Both Jason and I try to always be available for our guests especially on check in day in case there are any questions or directions needed. The Jacob's Well is certainly one of our favourites too for food, especially Sunday lunch :-) We hope to welcome you again in the future. Property Owner

"Fabulous cottage, book it you won’t be disappointed."
According to the Guest book, Linda is very helpful and informative. We didn’t need to trouble her as all our needs were met. Great location for walking and exploring the area, fabulous eateries & pubs in walking distance. We have stayed in numerous Sykes cottages and this one is our favourite
I'm absolutely thrilled to hear that my lovely cottage is your favourite, that makes me feel all warm inside :-) Thank you for your lovely feedback Andrew, we are so pleased you had a lovely stay and that the cottage had everything you needed. I'm pleased you explored the area for local walks and enjoyed a refreshment or two in the local pub ;-) Property Owner

All the facilities you need and in a quiet area with off street parking . Local dog walking areas that was useful to us with our dogs and a short ride to large country walks

"We stayed over Christmas with our returning family while waiting to move into our new house and Olive Tree Cottage provided us with a home from home."
We were so glad to be there. The property was immaculate and beautifully presented throughout. The kitchen was so well equipped that it made cooking a proper Christmas lunch very straightforward and the wood burner in the sitting room was fantastic. There were walks to be enjoyed on the doorstep. We appreciated all that Linda did to make our stay such an absolute pleasure. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, we are thrilled to hear that Olive Tree Cottage provided you and your family a home away from home to celebrate Christmas while you were waiting to move into your new home. Property Owner

"This is an excellent property and the owners very attentive, the cooker could have done with some instructions as the numbers on the dials have worn away, location excellent near to one of the best shops we’ve ever used, bus stops within easy reach, a fantastic break was had by us."
Thank you to the owners and Sykes, we will return sooner rather than later
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. Your comments re the cooker are helpful and I will look into getting something sorted. We look forward to welcoming you again soon. Property Owner

"We could not fault our stay at Olive Tree Cottage."
The location was ideal - a short walk from Honley and within easy reach by train or bus to Holmfirth. If visiting the Peak District, this would be the perfect base. The beds were extremely comfy and the cottage was very warm and cosy. The welcome pack of biscuits and tea, as well as the generous log burner starter kit, was the cherry on top. We would definitely recommend a stay at Linda's cottage!
Thank you so much for your lovey feedback Emilia, we are so pleased you had a wonderful stay and you enjoyed the house and everything that came with it. Property Owner
