The Cottage

Beautiful cottage , always clean and comfy and not forgetting cosy.

Love staying here.

Had a lovely few days spent with my daughter and grandchildren aged 4 & 7 in this lovely well equipped cottage.

Was ideally placed for lots of local dog walks from the front door and within easy reach to all the amazing places that we visited. We all had great fun .

An absolute home from home!

My wife and I, with our two adult sons, three small dogs and our bunny have just come back from a seven night stay and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The cottage itself is comfortable, spacious and bright, with comfortable furnishings, crisp white walls and flexible blinds/curtains. Everything feels of good quality, from the fluffy towels to the comfortable bedding and pillows - showing how much care Elizabeth has put in to make guests feel at home. The kitchen is amazing well equipped, we were blown away by her generous extras: ground coffee, laundry pods, dishwasher pods, cookies, kitchen towel and an abundance of cleaning products. Endless dog treats, poo bags, dog toys, blankets and beds! Outside the garden is very pretty, featuring the old Yorkshire stone walls, pretty potted plants, large comfortable garden furniture, pizza oven, BBQ and a tranquil stream running beside it. Every single detail was thoughtfully designed to make our stay as effortless and comfortable as possible. The evenings weren't particularly cold, but who doesn't love a wood burner to add ambiance to cosy nights with the family! Plus there was an abundance of wood and fire lighting materials.

We loved our stay as a family of 4.

Beds were comfortable and we enjoyed sitting outside in the garden area. Next door to an Asda garage for your supplies and a short walk to a pub for dinner. Make sure you book on Wednesdays as its 50% off

We did not find the cottage with ease, we were referencing to the photo which is on Sykes website but this photo was taken from within the garden and not the roadside.

Upon arrival we were pleased with the location of the cottage. It was very well organised with some lovely ornaments and artwork. It was very well equipped and homely and cosy. It is very apparent that the owner put a lot of effort into restoring, decorating and furnishing the cottage. Unfortunately it was the kitchen that was a big disappointment for us. It required further cleaning. The inside of the fridge was not clean. The microwave control buttons had what appeared to be dried food on them. The cutlery organiser within the drawer had bits of dirt and hairs. The toaster had crumbs sitting on the top as did the air fryer. The range cooker doors had marks and runs on them and the control knobs were dirty and greasy. It seemed rather odd to find the kitchen as we did especially in comparison to the rest of the cottage.

As soon as we stepped inside this quaint cottage we were impressed by the cleanliness and facilities.

There was a little welcome card ftom Liz the owner, this was a lovely touch. Everything you required was provided with a big cooking range in the well equippef kitchen, I particularly loved the range and butler sink. We were extremely impressed by the care taken to think about doggy guests from beds,bowls,towels, 2 toy boxes which our 2 dogs loved. A big tin of dog treats and even providing pooh bags. The outside facilities was brilliant with a lovely wooden table and seating, a bbq and pizza oven. The outside was all walled in with a lockable high gate ensuring our dogs were unable to escape. The bedding and towels was pristine, the beds and pillows are very comfortable. In the lounge there were 2 big comfy sofas. The log burner is ideal for those colder evenings. The bathroom was modern with a big walk in rain shower. The location was ideal for getting out and about. There is a lovely dog walk 2 minutes from the cottage. The cottage being next to the road was NOT an issue we would highly recommend it and will definitely stay again. This is most definitely a 5 star cottage

This is a beautiful house containing everything you could possibly need in a home from home.

Beautifully decorated, but still retaining a comfort to help you relax. You are close to the M1 so easy to get around places. The Bell public house on the road opposite serves the most amazing food and welcomes dogs. I’d recommend heading to Penistone for fuel - it was 14p a litre cheaper than the Asda garage next door. There is a Tesco in Penistone and an Aldi within 10 mins drive. You are surrounded by beautiful countryside but close to amenities. The hosts of this property really did think of everything you could possibly need. I’ll definitely stay here again. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Beautiful home with everything you need handy for the countryside well equipped property

We absolutely loved our stay at The Cottage everything you could possibly need is included it is the most well equipped holiday let we have ever stayed in and we have stayed in alot.

The beds are extremely comfortable and every room is very cosy and homely. We stayed for a week and usually after day 4 I am ready for home but not this time as I completely felt at home and so relaxed. Thanks for a wonderful week.

Beautiful, spacious cottage.

Everything we needed. Lovely pub near by (The Bells), did an amazing roast. Handy also having the petrol garage/shop next door :). Close to some nice dog walks.

What a wonderful stay at the cottage.

After a long overseas flight, it was the perfect place to stay. It truly had a ‘the holiday’ vibe, with everything we needed. It was cosy, comfortable, and conveniently located. Thankyou for having us! We will be back on our next visit.

Absolutely love this cottage and keep returning!

Always clean, comfortable and welcoming. My little dogs (and humans)are always happy here. Everything is provided and the garden is secure. Perfect location for visiting places and parking is no problem. Nice to use the regular bus services into Barnsley and Penistone if you want to leave the car behind. Thank you Liz.

Beautiful cottage, well presented and the perfect for dogs, they loved it.

The photo from the back was a little misleading when trying to find the cottage.

It’s a lovely very quaint comfortable place for both us and the

We are a couple with 3 small dogs and busy lives who both work from home, so holidays are for getting away to rest, walk, read and de-stress.

Comfort, space and suitable dog walks are important and top priority is a safe enclosed garden for our dogs. We found all of these in The Cottage and being get next door to an Asda was a bonus. The owners were thoughtful in providing all we needed in the accommodation and very generous with the dog biscuits!

The Cottage is a delightful home from home.

The owners have thought of everything. From bathroom to kitchen it is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The property is very dog friendly, with toys, treats and towels, not to mention the warming wood burner. Ideally placed across the road from Silkstone High Street, the cottage is handy for buses and access to local attractions. Highly recommended.

Loved the property, location and the added extras, especially the dog treats and toys.

The back bedroom needed more of a clean, especially the bedside table. The glasses also needed extra cleaning before we used them.

Clean & comfy, good facilities and nice welcome of cakes and a card.

Perfectly situated for the many tourist attractions around the area.

Stone walls surrounding the property deflect most of the road noise but I did need to keep the windows closed at night. Very comfortable cottage and my dog loved the treats provided....

Very very loud, didn’t get a lot of sleep.

Lovely cottage & clean but main bedroom bed we don’t agree is a king size, we have a king at home. We travelled with a baby and online listing stated there was a cot on request, when requested was told there was not. Listing also says 3 smart tvs but one was not. We left early due to not sleeping because of how loud the petrol station/ road were

Our second stay and we love the cottage.

Our dogs remembered it too. Pip dashed through the door straight to the dog toy box! We love the safe, enclosed patio garden. Peace of mind to be able to leave all the doors open in hot weather. The cottage is cool in the heat, but cosy in winter. Thanks for a great stay

A lovely cosy cottage with some fabulous walks straight from the door.

Comfortable beds, with an excellent large shower together with a well equipped kitchen with easy to use appliances, made for a comfortable stay. No grassed garden but a cosy courtyard with ample seating with a stream running alongside, is nice to eat al fresco if weather permits. Parking directly in front of cottage for one car, made for easy loading/unloading. Yes the road running through the village can be busy at times but traffic noise was minimal, as the cottage has such thick walls and good quality windows, so did not bother us at all. In the village itself, there is the Bell pub and restaurant 2 minutes walk away, which serves lovely food plus a handy small Asda store next door for easy provisioning. Pot House Hamlet (5 minutes walk) is a fabulous place to visit, with dog friendly cafe, clothes shop, dog parlour, jewellery shop and hand made candles plus spa treatments available, which were sampled and thoroughly enjoyed. Many lovely places to visit within 15 minutes drive, such as Yorkshire Sculpture park, Wentworth Castle Gardens, Whistle-stop Valley railway and Cannon Hall Gardens with attached Lucky Pups dog cafe. All dog friendly, so even better. A thoroughly enjoyable stay - highly recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

The well-equipped kitchen, air fryer, and massive range oven were perfect. The beds were very comfortable. The location for access to Barnsley is perfect. The garage (one of the cheapest fuel prices in the area) and Asda store were very handy, being next door to get fresh bakery items for breakfast - otherwise didn't disturb us at all. Didn't need the lovely wood burner as it as very warm regardless.

The cottage is perfect.

It's full of character, very comfortable and ideal for dogs. The large patio garden can be locked giving total peace of mind. A perfect dog walk is 100 steps from the cottage, providing a stream, path and plenty of trees and undergrowth. The cottage is very clean and the beds are comfy. Shower plenty powerful. Super log burner giving cosy evenings. We had a fabulous stay visiting our son. Appreciated the dog towels, toys, beds and bowls! Best holiday let we've stayed in. Easy parking too. The garage is a plus for groceries. A good pub 2 minutes walk away. M1 junction 5 minutes away. We will gladly book again. Thank you Liz

We loved our stay.

The cottage was clean, comfortable and everything you need for a fantastic stay.

We had a lovely 10 night stay at the cottage, it’s extremely comfortable & very well equipped.

Our 3 dogs had a great time, they enjoyed playing with the toys provided & loved the treats. An all round great experience was had by all & we will definitely return for another holiday.

Brilliant stay, beautiful property - great location with a few great pins and a lovely restaurant just metres away.

This is a lovely cottage, if it was positioned elsewhere.

We left after 2 nights of the 3 due to the noise from the garage next door. We sleep with windows open and the noise stopped us sleeping. On the second night there was a delivery to the shop at the garage at 5.00am which went on for half an hour at least with pallets crashing off the back of a large lorry. You map makes it appear the cottage is further away from the garage which is very misleading, instead of the actual 5 ish metres.

We had a great stay at the Cottage, it is on the corner of a busy road, and the petrol station / Asda is next door, during the day we had the back door open for the dogs and we didn’t notice the noise, and with the windows closed at night the noise from traffic is very low.

The Asda is very well stocked. The village is lovely the staff at the red lion very nice and friendly, found the bells pub less welcoming but that could be due to the dogs? The pot house hamlet was great, lovely food and the aromaholidays shop excellent. Lovely walks literally on the doorstep. The house was superbly equipped even to the dog toys/beds/towels/ treats provided. The owners have gone above and beyond to make it a true home from home. The bedrooms clean and beds very comfortable, lovely art work on the walls. We would definately stay again. 5⭐️ from the humans and 4

It’s a beautiful little cottage, very well maintained, tastefully decorated and very close to amenities - pub and restaurant are a couple of minutes walk and Asda is right next door.

Would love to stay here if returning to this region.

A beautiful house throughout, really cosy stay.

Very well equipped with everything you need, particularly lovely how it caters for dogs.

Beautiful cottage, everything you could possibly need for your stay.

Very dog friendly, treats, toys, even towels, although we didn’t need them as the weather was dry.

Great cottage,central to all visitor attractions, dogs had my arms dropping off throwing toys in garden,it's a little close to petrol station and road ,may bother some but not us.

great pubs in village.

Our second stay at this property and once again it did not disappoint.

We had 3 dogs with us and they were well catered for. The garden is secure and paved so no muddy feet to clean. Dog bowls, toys and treats were available. The humans had a great stay too, the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. Comfy beds, sofas and a wonderful homely feel. Fantastic dog walk a stones throw from the cottage and a dog friendly pub across the road. Cannot recommend this property highly enough!

Cottage was very welcoming for us and the dogs plus very clean .

The kitchen had everything needed for cooking and preparing a meal . Owners had thought of everything. Excellent walks in the area would definitely return for another break .

This is our second stay in this lovely cottage with our two collies.

It has absolutely everything we need and the dogs can be in the woods for walks is in less than five minutes. We will hopefully, be visiting again next year and every year it is available. The dogs love it too as there are lots of treats and toys and comfy beds for them.

Beautiful property with loads of room.

Very nice village with friendly people. Two pubs nearby where we were made very welcome. Found some lovely walks very close to the house. People won’t be disappointed with this property.

Clean and very dog friendly, owner has provided everything necessary for an enjoyable stay, even decorated for Christmas and felt very welcoming as soon as we arrived.

Patio is fully secure even for my tiny Chihuahuas! Great walks from the door. Comfortable beds and lovely well equipped kitchen. Ideally situated for visits to several attractions. Friendly locals and some nice pubs within a short distance. Parking is easy and we found it handy having an Asda Express next door! Hope to return and explore more of this area. Thank you Liz!

A lovely cottage with all the facilities needed for a great break.

Had yummy cupcakes on arrival .The garden was enclosed for our dog and plenty of toys and treats for her.Really clean and the beds very comfortable .It is next to a garage run by Asda, but you can not really hear much noise from it.It was handy as you could nip in for groceries.The owner very helpful and easily contacted when needed.A number of places to visit and eat near by.Definitely recommend.

A lovely comfortable cottage that had everything you could wish for.

Very dog friendly. Great woodland walks straight out the door and we drove to Derwent valley for good walks.

Absolute fabulous cottage, had everything and more that you could possibly need and has an array of things for your doggies.

Were greeted with a lovely welcome bottle of fizz and cakes which was a nice touch!!! Would 110% recommend this cottage, I will be returning again in the future!!!

Lovely stay!

The cottage is spotless and absolutely stunning. Extremely dog friendly with both humans and woofers catered for.

Hi cottage was clean and spacious , beds were comfortable , plenty of room , good fenced garden but VERY NOISY , even in evenings , DIDNT realise cottage was right next door to co op garage and car park, we could hear traffic in car park in bed and sometimes till gone midnight , sofa on left as you walk in was rock hard even with a topper i bought to make it more comfortable, i slipped and fell down on step into dinning room area with my socks on , luckily i was ok , i have had a few back ops and have a dodgy hip but i was ok, the step is very slippy with socks on , lovey walks from door , and beautiful scenery very nearby , i would definitely go to area again but make sure next cottage is no where near a main /busy road and busy garage/car park , i had read a few reviews and understood co op /garage was across from cottage not actually next door to cottage , kitchen very well equipped , i dont like pulling cottage down but im being honest and think it should be said where position of cottage is , we wouldn’t have booked it but others would , it is a lovely spacious cottage just shame about position /sofa/step thats why we left 3 nights early but area and walks Lovely

Wonderful week in very well equipped Cottage.

Welcome pack was the best we have had. Lots of things for dogs and very welcoming.

The cottage was very comfortable and clean.

We really appreciated the extra touches of tea, coffee and sugar plus the wine, cupcakes and dog treats. A lovely welcome. I would definitely recommend this cottage to family and friends and would stay again

Really lovely we enjoyed our stay never been to Yorkshire before great secure area for the dogs

The cottage was fabulous .

Liz the owner has thought of everything to create a perfect experience for guests and their dogs. There are 2 very welcoming pubs in the village plus a well stocked shop. We did some beautiful walks straight form the cottage without having to drive anywhere. It suited our needs exactly and we all hope to return .

The cottage was beautiful & so welcoming as soon as we stepped inside.

There was everything & more there that we needed. It was my dogs first ever holiday & they were so relaxed & chilled out. Garden was perfect for them too with it being so secure & lovely to sit in. The cottage is absolutely perfect & the personal touches all around made it that bit more special. Absolutely loved all the Steven Brown touches around ( big fan) myself,my best friend & my dad,not forgetting the dogs all loved it & found it hard to leave- l could hibernate in that cottage for a month & would be happy. We'll done to the owner for providing this gorgeous gem.

Had a fantastic stay!

The cottage has everything you need for both humans and dogs. Extremely comfortable beds, well equipped and a stone's throw from some lovely dog walks. The only fault we could find was that the wooden floors were extremely slippy. We visit the area every year and will definitely be booking here again (but will take our slippers). Thank you so much to Liz and family for a fantastic home away from home!

We loved our stay in The Cottage in Silkstone, it was a home away from home for us and our two lovely collies loved the treats and toys and a secure outside space to enjoy.

We took far too much stuff with us that wasn't needed as the owner had thought of everything. The cottage was very well equipped and cosy even through the terrible cold spell in March. The woodland walks from the cottage were beautiful. Our friends and family who visited were able to find it first time and thought it was great too!

The cottage was absolutely delightful, beautifully clean and well equipped.

The welcome pack of cup cakes and Prosecco was a really nice touch.Great walks directly from the cottage,which suited our two labradors. The dogs loved their box of toys and treats provided.Used the cottage as a base for visiting family and friends in Barnsley, which worked really well. The bedrooms could possibly benefit from blackout curtains as there was a lot of light from adjacent garage. Will definitely be back to the cottage when visiting Barnsley .Would highly recommend.

This place is amazing, super comfy and cozy, there's an amazing astetic to it.

Furniture and beds are very comfortable. Good room to put clothes and luggage. Facilities there is pretty much everything you need cooking wise extra light bulbs etc, more that anywhere else I've been. Parking can be a bit tricky as most people park by the side off the house on the road. For me the best time to visit would be autumn/winter time, as although the cottage is next too the petrol station inside the house you can't really here the traffic but if you do sit outside you can here everything, but as stated indoors you can't hear anything. The people in the area as well as the pubs are really friendly, something you don't get in the cities. Perfect holiday!

A delightful stay for my family and dogs.

Lots of wonderful added extras, the dog toys and bed went down a real treat. Cleanliness was outstanding. would absolutely return.

Absolutely lovely property with everything you could wish for.

Beautifully decorated to a high specification and a great deal of thought gone into our stay for the week. The big problem with it was that it was on a very busy main road and was very noisy when sitting outside and at night having the Coop next door,and with windows open, made it hard to sleep. Plenty of great walks for the dogs and in sight if 2 lovely pubs. Such a shame it's so close to the A628.

Brilliant communication from the owner.

Cottage is impeccable, credit to the owner for the decoration and the cleaner. Had a wonderful stay, local walks clearly mapped in the welcome pack.

Fantastic cottage with both our and our dogs needs met.

Very tastefully decorated lots of quirky touches, and all needs met. Owners very helpful and friendly . We will be back , a true dog friendly cottage !!

Being next to a petrol station and on a busy A-road let this otherwise beautifully appointed cottage down.

However the cottage itself is a credit to the owners and the cleaner - everything we and the dogs could have wanted was provided. The wide pavement between the cottage and the road enabled us to park the car in front of the cottage. The woods and playing fields behind were great for walking the dogs but required tight leads for two lively spaniels to get there due to the road or across the petrol station forecourt to the playing fields. The Bells pub serves food Wed - Sun. Our stay was Mon - Thurs. On close inspection of the location map supplied, the pin is over the row of cottages behind The Cottage giving the impression it is further away from the road and petrol station and no hint in the photos or description. The co-op shop in the petrol station was convenient and the only shop in walking distance. Just a fews steps away across the petrol station forecourt. The owners have made this historic cottage perfect once inside. Quiet when doors and windows shut. A good location for exploring the local area but not the quiet, country cottage that may be expected.

A beautifully presented cottage.

Cosy and warm. The walled garden is perfect for dogs. We can’t wait to book again.
