  • "We enjoyed a pleasant week at this property but found the comfort downstairs was not matched upstairs in the bedrooms."

    Fortunately we found a nearby parking space each evening but at times it was a worry. A few more additions to the property such as a casserole dish, measuring jug and additional toilet rolls would be very helpful. A small welcome pack would have been much appreciated after our long journey.

  • "We had a great stay at School Cottage, very relaxing."

    The cottage is lovely, especially the beautiful living and dining area. It's in a nice location and there is plenty to do in the local area and nearby. Parking was not a problem. The owner was friendly and had lots of recommendations for different interests. Would definitely recommend!

  • "Our second stay here."

    Fantastic location. Didn't need to use the car at all. There are literally walks everywhere. Thanks to the owner Christian for the recommendation on our last day it really was a breathtaking walk The walk into Holmsfirth is nice and the bus back, stops 5 minutes walk away from the cottage. The food at the Butchers Arms was great and we also visited the Red Lion but only for drinks. Will definitely return.

    Christian, the owner, was so accommodating and helpful and made the stay as good as it could be. Great location to have a home from home, great pub and countryside on your doorstep and only a short trip to the centre of Holmfirth if you wanted to go further afield! Thank you x

  • "We had a really lovely stay."

    The cottage was comfortable and we managed to find parking outside of the cottage. The local pub was excellent and we had a delicious meal with very friendly service. It was a little unusual that there wasn't a information booklet about the cottage but we encountered no problems and the owner was quick to reply with the wifi code.

Stepping inside your new home-from-home, be charmed by the remarkable interior, thoughtfully-laid out with herringbone oak flooring, exposed wooden beams and elegant yet homely furnishings, effortlessly blending contemporary and traditional.

Completing the property is a stylish shower room along with a handy cloakroom.

Take advantage of your central location in Hepworth and take the short walk to the local gastropub, The Butchers Arms, and tuck-in to a spot of pub fare gathered around the open fire, or soak in the sunshine with a crisp pint of ale in the beer garden at the end of an action-packed day.

For a wider variety of choice, head to the nearby town of Holmfirth where you'll find a wealth of eateries to suit all tastes and budgets, along with a handful of shops to stock-up on essentials.

Nearby Meltham is home to an excellent 18-hole golf course, perfect for those looking for a peaceful afternoon retreat, whilst the bustling town of Huddersfield offers an exciting change of pace.

HOLMFIRTH

Peak District National Park 3 miles; Meltham 4 miles

The old traditional Pennine town of Holmfirth is situated in the heart of the beautiful Holme Valley, on the edge of the West Yorkshire Pennines. Made famous by The Last of The Summer Wine TV series, there is more to Holmfirth than Compo and Nora Batty’s stockings! The ‘Picturedrome’, the North of England’s finest live music venue attracts many famous bands and is located right in the centre of the town. The pelotons from the Tour de France 2014 and the Tour de Yorkshire have both been through this quaint Holme Valley town en route to the iconic 524 metre Holme Moss climb two miles away. It is in these hills where cycling’s triple Olympic Medalist Ed Clancy grew up. Holmfirth also has a good public swimming pool and fitness centre, parks and some super shops and restaurants. The people here are friendly, the streets are quaint and the scenery is breathtaking. The Peak District National Park with its moors, dales, forests, lakes and reservoirs is also easily accessible. The Upper Derwent Valley, home to the spectacular Ladybower and Derwent reservoirs, and where the famous 617 ‘Dambusters’ Squadron practiced the audacious bombing raid on the Ruhr valley in 1943, is only a short scenic drive away. Slightly further is Chatsworth, the stately home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, and situated close to the market town of Bakewell, the home of Bakewell Puddings. The Yorkshire Sculpture Park, The National Coal Mining Museum, Wentworth Castle, and the Hepworth Gallery are also within short drives away and well worth a visit. For a spot of culture, Holmfirth has annual festivals with many more attractions that bring visitors back for more; such as the Folk, Arts, and Food & Drink Festivals. Also not to be missed, is Holmfirth Vineyard and Restaurant, where you can book wine tasting tours and enjoy a lovely meal in the restaurant.
