  • "Friendly owner and quaint property that was tastefully decorated."

    There were milk, prosseco and fizzy water in the fridge on our arrival which was a pleasant surprise. There are also a couple of games suitable for two people. Minimal road noise so we had quiet nights sleep. We would have liked to have a music channel on in the background whilst we got ready to go out but unfortunately the Tv had no channels tuned and the radio was ornamental, so didn't work. Also the bins directly outside were filthy & smelt a little bit. Overall due to the quirkiness of the place and the location we would recommend a short stay.

    Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to leave a review. I’m really glad you enjoyed the quirky charm of the property, the peaceful nights, and the little welcome touches like the milk, prosecco, and games – it’s always lovely to hear those details made a difference! Just to clarify a couple of points for future guests: the radio is actually a modern DAB radio designed in a retro 1960s style to fit the décor – I’ll make sure clearer instructions are left out so it's easier to use. The TV is a digital smart TV that runs on the internet and includes all the main UK channels as well as access to Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+ and more – I’ll put together a set of instructions for future visitors who may also like support operating a smart TV. Regarding the bins, you're absolutely right they were very full – the bank holiday unfortunately delayed the usual collection, which was out of our control. However, I completely understand how this may have impacted your experience and the issue has since been addressed. Thanks again for the recommendation – your feedback is really appreciated, and I hope to welcome you back for another stay in the future! Property Owner

  • "Absolutely perfect for us."

    Small, yes, but all we really needed was a comfy bed (tick), a bathroom (tick) and somewhere to sit and have a light food (tick). The surrounding areas in this little village were lovely and had easy access to major regions. The friendly reception we received made us feel very welcome, and all in all, this is a place that we may return to—highly recommended for those who are after a sweet place to stay.

    Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We're thrilled to hear that our place had everything you needed for a comfortable stay and that you felt so welcome. It means a lot to know you'd consider returning—you're welcome back anytime! Property Owner

  • "The Shearers hut is excellent and all aspects are spot on, the owner is very helpful in all ways."

    The location is absolutely stunning with a great bus service to all that west Yorkshire has to offer. An added bonus is the fleece inn across the road that is an absolute gem ( we ate there in the morning/evening time as well ! ) Will recommend to all and hopefully will be back soon. Thanks again to the owner Catherine for the arrival package as well ( one of THE BEST places we have stayed in ! ) Thanks.

    Thank you so much for such lovely words. Really enjoyed meeting you both and I am so glad you enjoyed your time here in Holme. We’d love to see you again. Take care, Catherine xx Property Owner

  • "Catherine messaged us on the morning of our arrival."

    . She was so lovely. We had milk and prosecco in the fridge waiting. Chocolates on the bed and kitchen. The place was IMMACULATELY CLEAN!!!! Not a speck of dust anywhere!!!! It is a lovely little place to be. Small and comfy. Warm and homely. We had everything we needed. The pub across the road (The Fleece) was good. You need to book. It gets VERY busy.

I'm so glad you felt welcomed and comfortable during your stay — it means a lot to hear that the little touches like the milk, prosecco, and chocolates made a difference.

    What a lovely place to stay and a lovely location! Very polite, friendly and helpful owners, who were there if needed for anything. The shearers hut was a perfect base to locate ourselves with everything we needed to explore the various walks in the beautiful surrounding area and return to the comfort and warmth of the hut at the end of the day. Gorgeous food available in the pub directly across the road, perfect after a long days walk!

  • "We cannot recommend a stay at The Shearer’s Hut enough."

    It is beautifully decorated and so cosy. Communication with the owner prior to our arrival was good and she spoiled us rotten with a bottle of fizz and goodies. It’s the perfect location to explore the surrounding countryside and the pub opposite serves great food.

    It was so lovely to host you - our first customers! It was so lovely to meet you and you are welcome back anytime at all! Take care & all the best, San & Catherine Property Owner
