We would highly recommend this cottage to family, friends and anyone wanting a lovely relaxing holiday. 10/10.

  • "Black House Cottage is very luxurious, you couldn't fault it."

    There are sweeping views from the living area and the patio. It is rural without being isolated; it is only a few minutes' drive from a choice of pubs and the Co-op in Ripponden. There is a warm welcome from Claire and Dave, whose house is next door. The garden is genuinely dog-proof and there is also a field attached where you can walk your dog. A short walk or drive away is Baitings Reservoir, with a path all around it, where a dog can also be walked safely. You can join the Pennine Way only a 5 minute drive from the cottage, if energetic walking is for you. For those less agile, we enjoyed some of the National Trust waymarked trails at Hardcastle Crags, just above Hebden Bridge. And the cafe and ice cream shop there!.

    Hi Linda & Geoff It was lovely to meet you both and as walkers ourselves it was good to hear you have enjoyed the trails our area has to offer. We strive to make Black House cottage the perfect home from home. Thank you for leaving such a warm and positive review. Property Owner

    Absolutely wonderful. Can not praise hospitality enough from Claire and Dave. Last visit was Nov 24 with snow. This time weather was lovely and views over the moors just as exceptional. Surprise visit from the deer in the field. Plenty places to visit. May very well be a third visit for us.

    Hi Neil & Karen It was superb to welcome you back to the cottage and for you to experience it in a different season. Thank you for taking the time to post such a warm and positive review. We hope to see you again soon C & D X Property Owner

  • "Spotlessly clean and well appointed and very, very comfortable."

    We enjoyed a very relaxing week and if felt very much like a sanctuary. A certain lack of privacy in the bathroom inherent in the lay out required adjustment,although we were aware of the layout of the bathroom from the photos.We certainly think of returning again. The setting was so peaceful and calming.

    Felt immediately relaxed as soon as we arrived. The views are breathtaking and can be seen from all the rooms. The property was immaculately clean and very well equipped. It has a beautiful cottage feel but with modern features (underfloor heating was a treat). Claire the host was absolutely lovely and gave us some great ideas of where to visit. We recommend The Engine, the Fleece Country pub and the Alma pub. The welcome basket was a nice touch. We will 100% return and can’t wait to do so. Can’t recommend this property highly enough

    Everything is catered for to a high standard and we felt comfortable straight away upon entering. It certainly is a ‘home from home’. The bedrooms were beautiful and the bath is to die for! The underfloor heating kept us nice and cozy and the open plan downstairs was perfect for us as we had plenty of space! We even had the added bonus of the sheep in the nearby field gracing us with their presence on the last morning. We will certainly be looking to book again as we had such a fantastic time as a family of three!

    Great views especially with the snow and lovely walks around the reservoir just down the road. Forgot to mention to Claire that tv tries to play sound through Bluetooth speaker as default but because boom box is not plugged in (is in boiler room) there is then no sound. Someone who is not tech savvy might not know how to switch to tv speaker so thought I would mention it!

RIPPONDEN

Sowerby Bridge 3 miles; Hebden Bridge 8 miles.

The Calderdale village of Ripponden is set in the rural Pennine landscape, three miles from Sowerby Bridge, in the Ryburn Valley. The village is made up of traditional stone-built cottages, and a small high street with shops, cafes, an award-winning restaurant, takeaways, several excellent pubs serving food and real ale, and a local supermarket, with the River Ryburn flowing gently through the centre. Located at the heart of the Industrial Revolution, pretty old weaving villages are found in the surrounding hills. The area is also of archaeological note for its Roman road, Neolithic and Bronze Age remains. Upon Rishworth Moor, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and home to many rare animals, can be found the Cat Stones, a series of ancient round barrow burial sites. Ripponden village is also noted for the annual Rushbearing Festival each Autumn, featuring dance troupes including Morris Dancers from all over the country. Nearby is Hebden Bridge, a diverse, bohemian town home to restaurants, bars, bistros, markets, an independent cinema, art galleries, and the Rochdale Canal. A scenic car ride over the moors takes you to the Parsonage Museum which commemorates the famous Bronte family. A short drive in the opposite direction takes you to the heart of ‘Last of the Summer Wine’ country. Numerous listed buildings and National Trust properties are close by. The Haworth area is also a must for steam railway enthusiasts who will enjoy the thriving Worth Valley Railway.
