  • "A comfortable, well equipped cottage in a really interesting location right next to the canal."

    Lovely walks right on the doorstep. We had a very enjoyable week catching up with family who live in the area.

    Overall it was a very comfortable. And location was superb

    Thank you for your feedback. I’m really glad that you enjoyed your stay. It’s funny that you mention about a fireplace as we are considering installing one soon! Watch this space! Thanks again for your booking Property Owner

  • "We had a really lovely stay."

    We were worried about previous reviews however the house has been decorated, was clean and really comfortable. It’s an ideal place for walking either along the canals or up onto the moors. The house is really characterful and fully equipped. We had the best stay and will definitely go back. Can highly recommend

  • "We had a lovely stay at the cottage."

    It was warm, cosy, clean. Id have booked to stay longer but unfortunately there was another booking after us. The double mattress was amazing and I wish I could remember the name of it. I did look but I cant think for the life of me what is was. Best sleep I've had in years.

  • "This cottage could be fantastic however general lack of maintenance let it down."

    The outside areas need serious attention as they are dirty and overgrown. The boiler makes strange noises when running hot water. No water came out of the hot tap on the bath, to fill the bath we had to use the shower. It was hard to use the bathroom sink as there is a cupboard that sticks out right over it. There is a light outside the back door which did not work and made a loud buzzing noise (at least I think that is what was buzzing). The chairs in the kitchen were very rickety and we fully expected to end up in a heap on the kitchen floor every time we sat on them. The utility room was a mess. The cutlery and crockery was not particularly clean and neither was the rest of the cottage, and in a location where there is no shop in the immediate vicinity, I would have expected a pint of milk to be left so you could have had a brew when you arrived. All that aside we had a great time in the Saddleworth area with loads of stuff going on and lots of walking. I would return to the area but not this cottage if the above were not resolved.

    Dear Kate, I appreciate you taking the time to give me this feedback on the property. I’m very sorry to hear that the cottage cleanliness has been less than acceptable. I have now changed the cleaning company following your review and I have personally experienced their work and can confirm it is an improvement. I can only apologise that you were not left any provisions on arrival, this should not have occurred as there is always a small welcome pack of milk etc. provided for guests. I stayed in the house in July for a few weeks and I have upgraded the chairs to ones that are much more comfortable and sturdy than before. I can only apologise for the state that you have experienced the property in and hope that you will consider booking with us again in the future. Kindest regards Nicola Property Owner

  • "Property is ok for a short stay but it is in desperate need of updating and replacement."

    Cleaning is adequate on the surface but not thorough enough overall, for example, dirty items left in cooker, mould under the worktop around the sink in the kitchen, utility area very grubby. Some inadequacies in the kitchen.

    Dear Paul Thank you for taking the time to provide me with your feedback. I will be staying in the property for a few weeks in July and aim to address the issues that you have highlighted. I will be contacting the cleaning company to ensure that a deep clean is carried out more frequently I do hope that you consider booking with us in the future if you are in the area. Kindest regards Nicola Property Owner

  • "Beautiful setting with lots of lovely walks to either Uppermill or Diggle along the canal."

    Very clean and comfortable and once we'd set up the heating appropriately warm too (was very cold on arrival)! Bathroom and kitchen very modern with underfloor heating. The dishwasher failed to open and we contacted the owner received the text "I'm at work", ? However, it is a lovely property and beautiful location so would revisit.

    Dear Mrs Campbell Thank you for your feedback, I’m really glad you enjoyed your visit but I can only apologise for the temperature in the property upon your arrival and the poor response with your dishwasher troubles. The guest contact is our cleaner and I have called to discuss her lack of follow up with you. I do hope you consider us for a future visit to the area. Thanks again for staying with us Kindest regards Nicola Property Owner

  • "The property is in a great location and the proportion of the each room is good."

    But overall the property is tired, dated, and in need of a lot of updating and maintenance; the kitchen utensils are old and cheap and the kitchen itself needs a really good clean! We stayed in many properties via Airbnb, Cottages.com and Skyes Cottages ....and this was by far the worst!

    Dear Mr Brooks I very much appreciate your honest feedback, and I’m sorry to hear how disappointed you were with the property and its facilities. Could you tell me which kitchen items were less than satisfactory, and indeed would you have any recommendations for particular brands that I could replace them with? All utensils are only 12 months old and so it has shown me that the durability of these items should be considered very carefully. Any other specific recommendations for the property in general would equally be appreciated. I do hope that despite these grievances you were able to enjoy a pleasant stay in the area.

  • "Generally the house was well presented clean and tidy the instruction of how to activate the heating could be improved as we had a problem, thankfully the cleaner came and sorted it."

    We would return again unfortunately my parents found it unsuitable due to the steep staircase which had no banister/grab rail. The steep staircase should be declared only for consideration by the elderly or parents of young children and should take nothing from the very old buildings character which has been tastefully presented with nice walks along the canal which has a lot of history.

UPPERMILL

Diggle 3 miles; Oldham 5 miles; Huddersfield 15 miles.

Uppermill is one of seven villages situated amongst the 18,0000 acres of moorland hills, open fields and scenic valleys that comprise the Saddlworth area. These Pennine villages have a wool spinning and agricultural heritage dating back to the Industrial Revolution, but today Saddleworth has evolved into an attractive South Pennine and Peak District National Park area with breathtaking views and glorious stone built buildings. Upper Mill is a thriving village popular with tourists with a good range of amenities including plenty of restaurants, cafes and pubs, as well as a growing number of craft shops. Part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, it is located close to the recently restored Standedge Canal Tunnel, Britain's longest, deepest and highest canal tunnel. The canal which runs through the town provides opportunities for traffic-free walks along the towpath, fishing and boating. There is one unique sport local to Uppermill called "cobbling". It involves a barrel of cobblestones, a closed road and a bag of cement - come and visit to find out more. Saddleworth is home to a wide range of festivals and community events, the most famous of which is the Whit Friday Band contest, which attracts the UK’s and Europe’s top brass bands and was the backdrop to the film ‘Brassed Off’. Nearby attractions include Dovestones Reservoir for boating and walks, and the Castleshaw Valley with an interpretation trail for a Roman fort, the highest of a series built on the Roman military road from Chester to York.
