Your home away from home

Woodman’s Cottage is a quaint home tucked away in the charming village of Newmillerdam in West Yorkshire.

Just a stone’s throw from the edge of Newmillerdam Lake, a local favourite for scenic walks, wildlife spotting, and lazy afternoons by the water, this pet-friendly retreat welcomes family and friends.

Inside, the cottage is full of character and comfort.

There’s a super-king-size bedroom (which can be set up as a twin if you prefer), plus a pleasant twin room that’s perfect for kids or extra guests.

The bathroom is a real treat, with underfloor heating, travertine tiles, a walk-in shower, and a separate bath, ideal for a long soak after a day exploring the lake.

The kitchen/diner is one of the highlights.

It’s got a contemporary farmhouse feel, with exposed stone walls, a wooden dining table, and everything you need to cook up a storm.

It’s the perfect place to enjoy a lazy breakfast together before heading out for the day.

When it’s time to unwind, the sitting room is a lovely little nook.

It’s simple and inviting, with wooden beams and an electric fire tucked into a stone fireplace, just right for curling up on the plush blue sofa to watch a film on the Smart TV.

Outside, spend your mornings out on the patio with a cup of coffee or simply catch some fresh air in the evenings.

And if you’re bringing bikes to explore the area on two wheels, there’s storage too.

With permit parking and extra spaces nearby, getting here is easy.

But once you arrive, you might not want to leave, the lakeside location is just that perfect.

Stop by The Boathouse Newmillerdam for a drink with a view, or treat yourself to an ice cream from one of the lakeside vans, a simple pleasure that makes the day even sweeter.

Immerse yourself in the charm of Newmillerdam.

Step outside and join the local community, exploring the quaint shops and the charming local pub, ideal for sampling local ales and traditional Yorkshire fare.

Journey a little further and you'll find Newmillerdam Country Park, a nature reserve with a serene lake, offering idyllic walks, opportunities for bird watching.

Discover West Yorkshire's rich history with trips to national landmarks, marvel at the intricate architecture of nearby stately homes, and immerse yourself in captivating stories at the local museums.

Be Artisanal – indulge in local products from the surrounding farms at the farmers' markets.

Enjoy a round of golf.

The area also offers outstanding cycling routes, with stunning vistas of the remarkably beautiful Yorkshire landscape.

And if you're in the mood for a picturesque day trip, you're in luck - the northern reaches of the Peak District National Park are within easy reach, offering even more stunning landscapes, walking trails, and villages to explore.
