“Just returned from a fabulous break in Hollinswood Bothy.”

What a find! It’s isolated, being only surrounded by fields, yet the village is only a short drive away. The owners sent us detailed directions, which meant we got there easily. On arrival, the cottage was clean, and warm, making it really welcoming after our journey. The welcome pack also provided everything we needed for a warm drink and snack, indeed exceeded what you’d expect to find. The shops can provide everything you need, and the villagers are all friendly and welcoming. The Wortley Arms serve fantastic food, so all in all, this is a great place for a getaway. Something that’s badly needed at this moment in time. The perfect getaway for anyone wanting peace and quiet, being surrounded by nature, thank you Sykes.

Ms Payton October 2020

“We would highly recommend Hollins Wood Bothy to anyone wanting a peaceful and relaxing break, in countryside surroundings.”

The bothy is warm and comfortable, with a garden to sit in and just chill. Thanks go to John and Rowena, for the much appreciated extras including milk, cake and a bottle of wine! There were also fresh flowers in three rooms. A lovely touch. There are plenty of local walks plus Wentworth Woodhouse and Elsecar Heritage centre are both within easy driving distance. We hope to visit again and have already passed information to interested colleagues, in need of a rest.

Ms Speck September 2020

“We love the peace and tranquility , and the isolation.”

This was our second stay at the Bothy and we have a third and fourth visit already booked. The owners are lovely and could not have done more to ensure we had a fantastic stay.

“Ideal location, cosy and well everything you need”

Miss O Dowd August 2020

“What a gem!”

Our stay at the bothy was absolutely lovely. The barn itself is a home from home, it has everything that you need for a staycation plus more. It’s cosy, clean & comfortable, a beautiful renovation from the derelict barn it once was. The wine, cake & flowers were a lovely welcome gift. The location is secluded & quiet with just cows and sheep as neighbours, which are friendly enough. There were some great walks straight from the bothy, we did a couple, walked to the village and beyond, stopping at the countess for a light bite...probably the best scone I’ve ever eaten. We drove to the Yorkshire sculpture park which was a lovely day out & another day at the reservoir with a stop off at the pub there for refreshments. We ate out at the Wortley Arms in the village, lovely food. All in all, we couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay & we will definitely be back again soon.

Mrs Parker August 2020

“We enjoyed the comfort of the lovely Bothy along with the beautiful location and the peace and quiet - a relaxing holiday!”

- Mrs Parker, August 2020
Mr Simister August 2020

“This is an amazing place, we were greeted with a welcome pack which included a lovely local cake & a bottle of wine, there is a lot of detailed information on local walks which are very useful.”

The picturesque village of Wortley is a nice walk away & the local pub is a friendly place serving beautiful food. We also had the pleasure of meeting John & Rowena, the owners who were very helpful with all our needs. Altogether we had a lovely week & would highly recommend this place.

- Mr Simister, August 2020
Mr Robson August 2020

“A really lovely cottage in a remote setting so great for those like us who have had to be shielding, but still close enough to get to the beautiful sights & vistas of the Peak District.”

Fantastic butcher shop in the village and the post office / general store could not have been more helpful. Very sensible social distancing arrangements. The owners of The Bothy are very helpful and have created a very comfortable & cosy place to spend a greatly enjoyable break.

- Mr Robson, August 2020
Mr Hird July 2020

“This was our second visit to the Bothy, we had a lovely week.”

We are probably nit-picking, but there was only one tea plate and the dinner knives were very blunt. However, we hope to be able to return next year. There are some lovely walks from the door, and Wortley is a very quaint village and can recommend the "Countess" tea rooms. The welcome pack is a lovely touch. Robert and Sandra Hird.

- Mr Hird, July 2020
Mrs Law July 2020

“We had a really relaxing and peaceful week.”

The bothy is a perfect place to get away from everything and be able to totally switch off. Location is perfect for walking and cycling and then return at night to the neighbours consisting of cows and sheep! We had a great week and easily could have stayed for another week!

- Mrs Law, July 2020
Ms Duke March 2020

“The cottage was so cosy and warm, has a log burner which we didn't use, didn't need to as the cottage was stone and quite well insulated A tasty fully furnished cottage, well equipped kitchen, gorgeous bedroom, comfortable king sized bed with luxury linen, nice shower room Surrounded by fields with views of woodland, a couple of farmhouses in view, an ideal peaceful retreat On arrival we found milk, a local made cake and more importantly a nice bottle of wine On the whole.”

......perfect would definitely recommend

- Ms Duke, March 2020
Mr Watson February 2020

“We enjoyed a great week despite the severe February weather conditions.”

The 'bothy' was very clean, well equipped, cosy and snug with the woodburner stove as an extra feature in addition to the standard heating. Well located for visiting attractions in the region, the cottage was a perfect base for Sheffield, the Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield and numerous interesting places around. We would look forward to a return visit later in the year when National Trust properties and other venues are fully open.

- Mr Watson, February 2020
Mrs Lomas December 2019

Mr Baker September 2019

“Cannot say enough about this "Little Gem" of a place.”

Location was perfect so tranquil added to that the accommodation has everything you need and the hosting was faultless, some warm weather was an added bonus, as was the slow stroll through the woods for a 5* Sunday lunch at The Wortley Arms (booking recomend) All in all perfect just perfect

- Mr Baker, September 2019
Ms Harte August 2019

“This property is amazing.”

It is surrounded by fields and animals. If you need to get away from it all, if you need to have some peace and calm, then you must book this cottage. It is beautifully decorated and it has everything that you need and more. To get to the property you have to drive through three gates and that, I found amazing. Not only it gives you a sense of security and protection, it also is very interesting and different to what your everyday life is about. The minute you enter the first gate, immediately it gives you that feeling of separation from everything else in the most amazing way. At the end of the day, that is what holidays are about. Experiencing new things. The owners of the cottage have also made every effort in preparing a very useful binder which has everything you may need. I loved the complimentary tea and cake accompanied by wine and milk which were all very thoughtful. Outside the cottage there are two separate seating areas which were excellent as at different times of the day, you get to enjoy the sun and different views. Also the bed was very comfortable and temperature was well controlled in the cottage. Thank you both very much.

- Ms Harte, August 2019
Ms Broster July 2019

“A beautiful building in a lovely location.”

Second time in the cottage and as great as the first. The little treats left are so nice, you feel at home the minute you walk through the door.

- Ms Broster, July 2019
Mrs Hanlon July 2019

“We had a lovely holiday in beautiful surroundings.”

We enjoyed walks through the woods, the gardens at Wortley Hall and the brilliant farm shop! We would thoroughly recommend this property and hope to return soon.

- Mrs Hanlon, July 2019
Mr Hird July 2019

“Wonderful cottage, super location, great walks from the door.”

Loads of local info in the cottage. We had a perfect week and intend to book again for next year. The wine and cake was a welcome bonus.

- Mr Hird, July 2019
Mr Ord June 2019

“Great hosting, attention to detail, local information and those little extras made a wonderful welcome to the bothy.”

The bothy was well equipped and comfy with excellent neighbours. Watching the Pied Wagtails and local hare made for a relaxing weekend. We will return.

- Mr Ord, June 2019
Miss Neale June 2019

Mrs Caffull June 2019

“A beautiful cottage in an idyllic setting, perfect for exploring all that the surrounding area has to offer.”

The 'welcome pack' from hosts was a surprise and delightful - the personal touch so rare in our experience. Would wholeheartedly recommend The Bothy to anybody seeking a sanctuary in peaceful and beautiful surroundings.

LadyPenelope64 May 2019

“Great rural retreat!”

Tucked away ion the middle of fields, this excellent conversion of a former derelict small stone barn provides interesting and unusual accommodation for a couple with all mod cons. Cosy and compact it may be but it is all there! Owned by friendly and helpful local people who gave us a great welcome with a bottle of wine, milk in the fridge and flowers in each room!!! ...

- LadyPenelope64, May 2019
Mr Walker April 2019

“We've stayed in quite a few rented cottages, and this one shows obvious attention to detail with quality touches throughout.”

The welcome was also - well - welcoming, with a wealth of instructions on how to find the property, and things to do once there, and a nice touch with a welcome cake, milk and even a bottle of wine in the fridge for our arrival. We stayed for 3 nights in total, and didn't use our car once, walking the ~2 miles into the village and on into the countryside. Lovely. A lovely setting, a lovely cottage. I suspect we will be back!

- Mr Walker, April 2019
Mrs Carter April 2019

“An excellent property!”

Tucked away ion the middle of fields, this excellent conversion of a former derelict small stone barn provides interesting and unusual accommodation for a couple with all mod cons. Cosy and compact it may be but it is all there! Owned by friendly and helpful local people who gave us a great welcome with a bottle of wine, milk in the fridge and flowers in each room!!! The natives in Wortley village, nearby, are also friendly. There is a good pub doing excellent food and local beer, a really nice tearoom, a Post Office and General Stores plus a Farm Shop with as proper butchery counter... Lovely pies and great meat... good bacon and a lovely brisket joint to bring home for the slow cooker... Yum!!! You could stay here and have a quiet break, just walking locally and there are plenty of paths but then you'd miss all there is to see in this part of Yorkshire. 10 or so minutes away by car you have Stocksbridge with the new Fox Valley Shopping development with several good restaurants and plenty of interesting pubs locally to eat at. All in all we had a great short break here and would come again.

- Mrs Carter, April 2019
Mr Hastie March 2019

“Wonderful, cosy little cottage.”

Mr Gibson March 2019

“The Bothy was a real ‘get away from it all’ holiday home.”

Very unusual setting in corner of farmers field. It was very snug & cosy, the log burner was great. Nice personal touches included wine, cake, milk & flowers in each room. Superb food in local pub The Wortley Arms. Well worth a visit....The Bothy & The Pub!!

- Mr Gibson, March 2019
Mr Evans December 2018

The location is just a piece of heaven, so peaceful, just loved the neighbours, cows, sheep, pheasants.

- Mrs Caddick, October 2018
Mr Kirkby September 2018

“We really enjoyed staying here for a short break.”

The Bothy is small, but adequate for 2, clean and comfortable. The welcome wine and cake were nice touches and we enjoyed sitting on the bench in the sun with drinks. Good directions and comms from the owner.

- Mr Kirkby, September 2018
Mrs Cornick September 2018

“This cottage is the perfect escape set away from everything with just the sheep and cows next field for company.”

It’s through the woods, through three farm gates across the fields so well away from anywhere......but the village nearby has all you need, especially cake and cards. The cottage is warm and cosy with all the facilities needed for a perfect holiday......even cake and wine on arrival!

- Mrs Cornick, September 2018
Mr Spellman July 2018

“Really enjoyable weekend from start to finish.”

Instructions to find the Bothy excellent, treats on arrival a wonderful surprise. Everything we needed and wanted was on site. Peace and tranquillity just what we needed and made great friends with the 4-legged neighbours. Great communications with owners who have completed a marvellous restoration of the building. Amazing stay and hope to return some time soon..

- Mr Spellman, July 2018

Mr Cook May 2018

“The Bothy is lovely place to rest and relax.”

It is located in a country location with lovely scenery, walks on its doorstep, loads of wildlife yet still close enough to some great tourist attractions. If you want rest and relaxation this is the place for you

- Mr Cook, May 2018
Dr Franzen April 2018

“This was an amazing place to stay!”

Our only neighbours were sheep, and the setting was gorgeous. Inside, the bothy has been transformed into a very comfortable and exceptionally well equipped cottage even with excellent wifi! We had four very happy nights here and could happily have stayed much longer. It is within easy drives of Sheffield and Wakefield and many attractions. The instructions on getting there, the welcome pack, and large folder of information were all much appreciated. Thank you for making the bothy available for visitors!

- Dr Franzen, April 2018
Mrs Tanner April 2018

“This beautiful little cottage is just what we needed to get away from the noise of everyday life, yet close enough on foot (if you like walking) or by car to civilisation if you need it.”

Such a lovely, cosy place, so well equipped and tastefully decorated (plus dishwasher and washing machine, what a bonus)! The bed was comfy, the views from the windows beautiful and a lovely outside area to sit (although we didn't have the weather for that). Two farms flank the cottage, one is a sheep farm. A little brook runs through the woods at the bottom. Toasty and warm (especially when we lit the stove), the owners left some lovely treats for us, and fresh flowers in every room....we will go back there again and again. It's idyllic. Plus....I can highly recommend the Wortley Arms' Sunday Roast - its HUGE! Take your walking boots and wellies though, and you will be just fine.

- Mrs Tanner, April 2018
Mrs Maybury April 2018

Mr Sample March 2018

“Even though the weather caught us out for most of the week, the bothy is a lovely little base camp to see Yorkshire.”

When you arrive its very clean and tidy with some little gifts to get your break of to a good start. Even with this being our third visit to the bothy none of the magic and warmth has left it and we are looking forward to going back in the future.

“A hidden Gem”

For a short break in an idyllic location the Hollins wood bothy is a must for all ages. Arriving through the woods sets the scene before you get to the hidden gem, this well equipped stone cottage delivers on all fronts giving you the option to do as much or a little as you want. If walking is your past time there is a raft of information for all levels or if you just want to chill out this hidden gem will not disappoint. Had a great stay and we'll visit again.

“Relaxed, refreshed, rested.”

Just what my wife and I needed after a hectic few months moving house in Liverpool. So peaceful and welcoming, even as we approached through the fields. Extremely comfortable bed, good wi-fi and mobile coverage, fabulous "sitting-out areas" for catching the sun and chilling. Great walks around the cottage and Wortley village. Handy for Peak district and Yorkshire Dales. Returned home with our "batteries fully recharged" Highly recommended!

DavidS15163 March 2017

“Could not fault the property or welcome”

Could not fault the property or welcome. Property is reached via a farm track as advertised and we did get stuck because it was dark and we missed the hard surface!, our fault. Owner most helpful in getting us out again. Nice and warm, and the log burner was great. very handy for the motorway and all local attractions. The Wortley Arms does great food and the butcher/village shop does amazing pies :)

- Mrs Bond, September 2016
Ms Pamplin September 2016

“This cottage was excellent and was actually more attractive than the website picture suggested.”

The cottage is in a lovely peaceful setting yet brilliantly located for all sorts of places of interest. The village has an excellent pub shop and tea rooms if you don't fancy venturing far and there are many lovely walks to be had too. On our arrival we found wine and locally made cake waiting for us -which was much appreciated after a long journey from the south. Another thoughtful touch was the excellent directions to the cottage which kept stress levels down! This cottage is difficult to fault and a credit to its owners.

“Wonderful week away”

I stayed at the bothy for a weeks holiday in August. The place is in a beautiful setting, furnished to a high standard, quiet and peaceful. Perfect for a solo holiday or for a couple seeking a quiet and romantic getaway. Very helpful pre arrival instructions, a lovely welcome and a wonderful stay. The property is ideally situated for access to the sculpture triangle which includes the fabulous Yorkshire Sculpture Park and the Hepworth museum in Wakefield. I also enjoyed a day trip to Harrogate and a trip to Sheffield while I was there. Would love to stay again.

Ben B March 2016

“Small and perfect”

If you are interested in somewhere small and cosy then this is absolutely perfect. It is finished to a very high standard and has everything you need for a trip away. It is within walking distance of the village but far enough away to be quiet as well. The owners are so welcoming without being intrusive and couldn't be more helpful. There are walks provided from the Bothy and plenty of information about the local area. If you're after somewhere to go and relax then I cant reccomend this highly enough. My only hesitation in writing a five star review is that we want to go back and don't want it to be booked up! A very special place indeed.

- Ben B, March 2016
Mr Burrell February 2016

“Hollins Wood Bothy was small, cosy and perfectly formed.”

The standard of finish in the cottage is very high and it is a great place to spend time or to go out and explore the area with the brilliant guides provided by the owners. This is a special place to spend some time and was a perfect place for a few days away relaxing. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

- Mr Burrell, February 2016
Miss Sanders December 2015

“From the moment we arrived (following excellent directions) we absolutely fell in love with the remoteness of the Bothy.”

- Miss Sanders, December 2015
Miss Jurkova December 2015

“The minute I walked into Hollins Wood Bothy I loved everything about it!”

It is a beautiful and very cosy little cottage with everything you need. It was so peaceful and quiet, it's a perfect place to unwind and relax. The owners were very friendly and helpful in every way and even provided me with perfectly explained directions on how to get there. As a keen walker/runner it was an absolute paradise for me. I will be returning soon for sure and will also highly recommend Hollins Wood Bothy to all my friends! If I could score in stars then I would have to give the cottage 11 Stars out of 10.

- Miss Jurkova, December 2015
Mr Lock November 2015

“Hollins Wood Bothy was amazing, clean and modern and the location was the most fantastic rural setting which I couldn't have been happier with.”

Ideally positioned for great walks from the front door or further afield in the High Peak and not too far from Sheffield if you feel the draw of the city. It's extremely cosy, warm and comfortable and obviously loved by the owners who provide a kind and generous welcome on arrival. The perfect getaway.

- Mr Hack, October 2015
Mr Metcalfe October 2015

Mrs Warrington September 2015

“Having visited Wortley over many years, to find this gem was perfect for my wife and I.”

The Bothy is a haven of peace and quiet with just the livestock for company, plus all other local wildlife. The log burner was perfect to wind down after days out and about. The accommodation was just perfect. Needless to say we will be returning again and again. Perfect!

- Mrs Warrington, September 2015
Ms Jungnitz August 2015

“The Bothy is beautiful and in an idyllic spot.”

Whilst it is so close to Sheffield it felt like being in an oasis of calm. The local walks provided by the owners were lovely. The nearby village and the local pub are superb.

Miss Tucker December 2014

“This was the first time we have ever done a holiday like this and we had the time of our lives.”

The cottage was cosy yet modern with the most amazing bed! The warm welcome we received really made us feel at home and the scenery was stunning! We were very lucky to have snow there and it was literally like something from a post card!

Mr Alnasrawi October 2014

“Our stay at the Hollins Wood Bothy was a very special and enjoyable one.”

Our host greeted us, and was friendly and enthusiastic, and with just cause; the Bothy is more impressive than in the photos. Set in a peaceful, secluded rural setting, yet easy to get to, the Bothy has been beautifully restored - it speaks of history on the outside, yet inside it is very modern and has everything you could need. With incredibly thick walls, it is warm and quiet, and it has an immediate, welcoming charm and cosiness; it made for a relaxing, romantic holiday. There are a plethora of things to do and beautiful places to see in the area, and many others a short drive away. It was a lovely stay and we'll cherish the memories.

Mrs Hazell September 2014

“We were so pleased that Hollins Wood Bothy was just as described, and the perfect holiday retreat.”

The welcome we received from the owner was great. We couldn't find fault, everything was just perfect for us and we certainly hope to go back again!

Miss Adams September 2014

“Literally the best break we've ever had.”

A gorgeous, beautifully renovated property, perfect surroundings, a warm welcome (owner is a good laugh) and peacefulness. Had a bit of nice weather so we fired a BBQ up in the garden and cooked local -delicious- meat on it. Heaven!

“Idyllic Retreat to Unwind and Explore”

If you're looking for a secluded cottage, but with modern touches, such as wifi and dishwasher, washing machine etc, this is the place for you. Hollins Wood Bothy is a beautiful, modern, clean, cosy cottage set in the grounds of a working farm. The cottage itself is located between a sheep field (wake up and see sheep from the bedroom window. Bliss!) and another field with a few cows in (they'll come and say hello if you let them). Don't let the 'working farm' part put you off. You don't encounter farmers walking past the Bothy, nor is anyone in the field milking cows or shearing sheep. For all intents and purposes, you are alone! There are woods opposite which are perfect for walking. The Bothy even comes with its own 'bespoke' walks - direct from the Bothy! Just grab one of the guides and go. A really nice touch, and one of several (I won't name them or it'll spoil the surprise!) We felt as though we were in the middle of nowhere. You can't hear the traffic and as I said, we didn't see the farmer at all on our week stay. It's just you and the wildlife. The owners made us feel welcome and the little touches on our arrival were very much appreciated. We spent the week hanging out in the Bothy, sitting in the garden, visiting the big cities (Leeds, Manchester and Sheffield) which were all under an hour away. The little village of Wortley is home to the local pub, a post office and farm shop (jam and meat are both highly recommended!). You can walk to it from the Bothy in about 40 minutes. The Peak District is located a short drive away too, making the Bothy ideally located for exploring the natural beauty of the north and also enjoying shopping and nightlife of the cities. I need to tell you about the bed at the Bothy. You will not sleep on a better bed. It was so good that my partner and I looked it up online - we want it for our flat! It's totally out of our price range though! haha! Everything in the Bothy is top notch. The owners have spared no expense to ensure you have a brilliant stay. We can't wait to go back! Thank you John and Rowena!

Miss Aplin August 2014

“The cottage is exactly as described.”

We received such a warm welcome and the personal touches were greatly received! The Bothy includes everything you need for a fantastic rural escape. You could just spend all your time inside the Bothy and enjoy the natural surroundings (your only neighbours being the sheep, cows and pheasants. Oh, and the hare!). Included in the cosy cottage was everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable and relaxed. Basically, the Bothy is the ideal countryside escape which still has 21st century mod cons. We wanted a quiet, secluded home which still had wifi and what we got was so much more.

“The Bothy is beautiful, well equipped and immaculately presented.”

- Mr Denoon, June 2014
Mr Scott June 2014

“A wonderful cottage in a fantastic, quiet, extremely rural location but only a few minutes from the local village.”

The owners were very welcoming. There were cows, hares, pheasants, a partridge and an owl all within a few feet of us most days.

- Mr Scott, June 2014
Mr Braddock April 2014

“We loved everything from the warm welcome to the copious amounts of information provided in the cottage.”

It was all perfect and the Bothy had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We would happily stay again and have already recommended to friends and family.

“Lovely hide away”

My mother and I stayed here for a weekend while we had a lot of work to do (I had exams and she had reports to write). We wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of normal life and retreat into the country for a working break. Our stay was lovely, we had a very warm welcome on arrival and were shown where everything is. The complimentary tea, coffee and cake was delicious! We got plenty of work done as it is so peaceful, only the sheep around to keep you company! But the village is a short drive away if you want to explore or get an supplies. There are walking route plans provided in the bothy, depending on how long you want to be walking for and what kind of terrain you fancy. The bothy itself is furnished very tastefully and is well equipped with most things you need. The wood burner is a lovely touch for the cold winter days. We would love to return when we have no work and are able to relax and enjoy the picturesque countryside. I can't recommend this little gem enough.

“A lovely old bothy turned into a perfect little holiday cottage, lovely setting, really peaceful and nicely set back from everything, on the edge of the peak district, an excellent base for exploring the hills.”

We went on some glorious walks. A great welcome from the owners too, who left us wine and cake.

Miss Minton January 2014

“Absolutely loved our stay here.”

The bothy was clean, well decorated and extremely peaceful. The owner gave us a very warm welcome, showing us the way to the bothy and then how to use everything inside. There is a great welcome pack with lots of useful information and walks. Just what we needed.

“The property was a very beautiful cottage set in the peaceful surroundings.”

The cottage has been wonderfully fitted out and decorated. The local pub (Wortley Arms) is a fantastic place to eat a Sunday roast after a long walk, or have a bite to eat in the evening after a bike ride. I will be back, and will recommend this property to my friends. I wish I could have stayed longer!

Mr Lintern September 2013
