    Although lacking outdoor space the park is a few minutes walk and there are plenty of outdoor areas around the town.

  • "All the facilities here are fine."

    The location in one sense is brilliant - right in the heart of Holmfirth - but, being on the main road, finding parking can be a bit of a hassle. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful

    Thank you for this feedback. I totally agree that parking can be troublesome because of being in the centre, and like you say I try to be helpful with advice on where to park close by. Thankfully the new carpark inbthe centre should be open by end of Aug/start of Sept so this will help hugely. The main road is great for quick access to the village with no big hills to climb, but affects parking like you say. Luckily as all the living space in the cottage is at the riverside you cant hear the road, only the river, and forget your even in a house on the road when inside the house. I hope we can host for you again and the new car park will be up and running and help with getting parked up close by more easily. Property Owner

  • "Such a lovely cottage and in an ideal location."

    The cottage has everything you need, and the little touches like a bottle of Prosecco and chocolate from the local shop were lovely. Communication from the owner was fab, Nic messaged to check we arrived okay and that everything was going good. Will be staying again.

    Thank you so much for your review and feedback. I hope we see you again in the future Property Owner

  • "This cottage is situated right in the heart of the town, near to all the pubs and restaurants."

    Parking was OK, found a place near to the cottage as the owner had said. The cottage itself was spotlessly clean, everything you needed for a pleasant stay was provided. Highly recommend this cottage to anyone wanting a good quality break. Will definitely be coming back again soon.

    Thank you for such a lovely review and your feedback. We hope to see you again in the future : ) Property Owner

  • "Firstly, very nice place."

    Very convenient for town centre and It's amenities. I will point out the front door opens onto a busy main road which I don't remember in the description. This would be relevant to future guests with dogs and/or children. I would also point to the shower. This really needs to be thermostatically controlled to maintain temperature. Current one doesn't. Overall, impressed.

    Hi Ian, thank you for your feedback. We will action your points. I am glad you had a good stay with us. Hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner

  • "Great little cottage, within easy walking distance to everything Holmfirth has to offer."

    Considering it is on a main junction you would never know, it overlooks the River Holm so the sound of the running water and ducks is pretty much all you hear. Highly recommend So Dough for woodfired pizza, Dixon’s Milk Ices for ice cream, O’Briens Beer Cafe for all manner of craft beers and an excellent house white and Bloc for coffee and the biggest Focaccia sandwiches known to man.

    Thank you for your review. Hopefully we will see you again in the future Property Owner

  • "We had a wonderful stay at Riverview Cottage in Holmfirth and were genuinely impressed by how much thought the owner had put into making guests feel comfortable."

    After a long drive, it was such a lovely touch to find welcome supplies waiting for us. Being able to sit down with a cup of tea and a biscuit as soon as we arrived was exactly what we needed. The cottage is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and has everything you could need for a comfortable stay. One of our favourite features was the mezzanine snug, which was the perfect place to relax and enjoy an afternoon snooze. The views over the river are lovely and hearing the water flowing by as we drifted off to sleep was incredibly relaxing. Despite being right in town, the cottage felt peaceful and we never had any issues finding street parking nearby. The location could not be better. Step outside the front door and you are in the heart of Holmfirth with a great choice of restaurants, cafes and pubs all within easy walking distance. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to recommend Riverview Cottage. It is a beautiful, comfortable place to stay in a fantastic location and we would happily return.

    Thank you for such a wonderful review Kirstie. Property Owner

  • "A great base for exploring around Holmfirth and into Peak District, the house was very clean and had everything you needed."

    Kitchen / living area was comfy and well thought out. Plenty of parking on the road a few minutes walk away. Nicola was a great host and very responsive. The bedrooms are downstairs so stayed a bit cooler as it was very hot when we stayed! Great location to walk to shops in Holmfirth. Would definitely stay again.

    Hi Charlotte, Thank you for staying with us and looking after the cottage so well. We appreciate your kind review and feedback.

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.
