“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

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.
Mrs Lomas December 2019

“Superb location and the cottage was fully equipped extremely clean”
Mr Wilson-leary November 2019

“Lovely clean place.”

Nice and peaceful.liased with John,what a nice guy he is,left us cake,wine and flowers in pots.little things make a big difference. Would recommend
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Miss Neale June 2019

“Such a beautiful place to stay so peaceful wonderful wildlife ,john and rowena so helpful very informative and caring.”

THE BOTHY was home away from home can't wait to return could not find anything bad to say loved it
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!!! ...
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!
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.
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 Spellman March 2019

“Lovely property and excellent hosts who make visitors feel very welcome.”

Booking experience smooth since it was online with no hitches.
Mr Hastie March 2019

“Wonderful, cosy little cottage.”

Fascinating neighbours (sheep, ducks, pheasants, stoat). Excellent communication and attention to detail from the cottage owners.
Mr Evans December 2018

“Lovely cosy cottage.”

We really enjoyed our stay here over Christmas. Very clean and comfortable and a great setting. Fantastic local walks, loads of wildlife. Would definitely recommend.
Mrs Caddick October 2018

“Hollins wood Bothy , is a delight to stay in, everything has been thought of, to make your stay as comfortable as possible.”

The location is just a piece of heaven, so peaceful, just loved the neighbours, cows, sheep, pheasants.
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!
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 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 Ford June 2018

“Fantastic place to stay.”

Very comfy and cozy. Ideal place for 2.
Mr Lindon May 2018

“Excellent secluded cottage in a lovely area.”

Very clean and comfortable with all the facilities that you would expect from a cottage stay. We would recommend and will definitely return in the future.
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
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 Maybury April 2018

“Fabulous peaceful location.”

Loads of lovely walks from the cottage. Totally equipped with everything to make us comfortable would definitely stay there again.
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!
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.
Michael W August 2017

“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.
CrosvillE July 2017

“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 :)
jessicahatcher09 November 2016

“Amazing getaway!”

Can't say enough good things about this place. It's a perfect little retreat if you want some time to relax. We were made to feel so welcome and loved every minute of our stay.
sarahcQ3493OZ August 2016

“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.

“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!

“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.
