    Every where was scrupulously clean, including all the crockery and glasses. Parking is easy at the house, though it's only about a 10 minute walk down into Holmfirth and there is a bus back up the big hill . There's also an excellent pub (The Farmers Arms) just around the corner.

  • "The old post office was a great holiday house to stay in."

    There were 14 of us in total (and two dogs) ranging from age four to seventy. The rooms were spacious and comfortable and plenty of en-suites to keep everyone happy. There was plenty to explore in the local area and we even joined in a pub quiz at the local pub - Farmers arms. We took up the recommendation of eating out at Harvey’s as a family and really enjoyed our time. Being a large family we did cook and eat frequently at the house, the dining room was a great space to eat together (I would say that a little time and effort is probably needed to restock the house with updated kitchen appliances, but a huge bonus was the use of two dish washers, as a big family this was much needed). The communication was excellent from the hosts and all in all we had a wonderful family holiday in Holmfirth. One little niggle worth noting was that the washing machine was not in full repair and had a faulty sensor, this meant constant resetting - when reporting this we were told it was an existing issue. My recommendation is for the owners to simply buy a new one. With the price we paid for this holiday home we felt it tiresome dealing with a faulty appliance. With that being said I don’t want to end on a negative note this was a great house with plenty of space for all of us to enjoy a relaxing week together.

    Hi Lisa, thank you for the feedback. We’ll look at getting the washing machine fixed or replaced ASAP. Property Owner

    The house was even nicer than expected. The kids loved the hot tub and we had such a fun evening playing pool in the basement. The person looking after the property was helpful and easy to contact. Holmfirth itself was beautiful with lots of little cafes, shops and pubs. We would happily come back.

  • "After making the original booking, we had a lot of trouble contacting Sykes Cottages."

    For example, when trying to pay our balance, we could not find our booking on the website. Contact through phone calls was impossible. We ended up phoning Snaptrip, the umbrella company. In contrast, the management company was very easy to contact and responses were speedy. An example was to request a cot and highchair, which we could only do 24 hours before arrival ie couldn’t contact Sykes so had to rely on management company of the property. We were very lucky there was availability of these items. Generally, the property was great. Lots of room and good facilities. However, we had one very disappointing aspect. There were 9 toilets, 7 showers and 2 baths and the owners only provided 3 hand soaps. For the money we paid, we could not understand why at least small bars of soap were not available. Why were there shower gel dispensers on the wall and nothing in them? Were the guests expected to fill them?

    Hi Jane. I'm sorry to hear about your experience with Sykes. I will chase this up from my end to look for a future resolution. Thank you for your feedback about the soaps, that is very helpful and something we will loo at remedying. I will speak to the onsite team about this. I'm glad you otherwise enjoyed your stay and hopefully we see you again. Property Owner

  • "We had a wonderful stay."

    The house is absolutely beautiful and really comfortable. Rooms are spacious and beds are cozy. There was a few small critiques from all nine of us who stayed. There is no hand wash in any of the rooms and we think there should be given the price etc. Also, just small things like salt and pepper, kitchen roll, t-bags and sugar would be great in the kitchen. There was a lovely welcome box with a few bits in which was great. The fridge leaked in the kitchen to the point where the floor was sodden so we had to leave a towel down the whole time. The showers have no pressure but everything else was superb. Thank you so much for having us. X

    Hi Sharon. Thank you so much for the feedback, that is incredibly helpful. I will speak with the onsite team and look to improve all those points for future guests. I'm glad you otherwise enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

    Rubbish left in bins, dust and cobwebs, outside area not clean, bbq not clean. The living room only has seating for 7 adults, we were a party of 11 adults that were expected to sit on the floor on bean bags. I would also like to say how disappointed we were with your company, when I booked, the week we would have preferred was to expensive so we opted for the later week at £4024 only to find you advertising that week for £3500

    The hot tub was serviced every day and a blocked drain was fixed the same day. Due to problems with one of the boilers, there was no running hot water on the upper floor, which caused some problems, although all the showers were working OK. We were told about the lack of hot water on the day before we arrived, but there was no offer of any refund for this inconvenience throughout our stay.

    Hi Graham, thank you for your feedback. On the point about the hot water, that boiler only serviced the upstairs basin and bath, with the downstairs basin working as usual, so we believe the inconvenience was negligible. Hope to see you again Property Owner
