“Great cottage with 2 sets of facilities so was suitable for us as 2 friends who want the ability to have some separate space but also spend time together.”

Location is perfect for Bronte country and Halifax/ Hebden Bridge and around. Lovely and warm and cosy, but also light and good to spend time in when the weather fails and you don't want to go anywhere. The little dog with us also approved!!

“Delightful quirky old cottage definitely go back there again”

“The cottage was beautiful.”

The area is lovely and the scenery is stunning. It is exactly as pictured but somehow nicer in reality. Yvonne met us there to show us round and explain how everything works - we phoned her when we were 30 minutes away. As we went as 2 separate familes, this was just perfect. A choice to be separate or together. Both kitchens had a box of biscuits,tea bags & sugar, kitchen roll & washing up liquid. Both toilets had soap & toilet rolls. There were bath towels and hand towels. The beds were pristine and there was a 4 pint of milk in the fridge. There were even books, a pack of cards and pens in the drawer. So much more than we expected. The little local co-op was lovely and the owners/staff were very friendly & helpful. They suggested where we should go and how to get there and invited us to the local coffee morning. Personally, I would have liked a decent map with the cottage marked on it, so I could get my bearings and a list of suggested places to visit and the directions. Something I think the local tourist information should provide for holiday cottages & hotels in the area. We would happily return and heartily recommend

“A comfortable bright cottage in a handy location for this area.”

Parking is sometimes a bit difficult with young children but otherwise not really a problem. The owner's welcome was very kind and helpful.

“We live nearby and used the Old Forge as an annex for a big family weekend.”

It worked really well. The owners were so helpful.
Cole December 2017

“The property was ideal in that we were two families sharing so due to the layout of the property both parties were able to have their own space and privacy.”

Parking was abit of an issue, however it was stated in the descriptive that it was a first come first serve basis. Considering the normal rental price and then comparing it to the price we paid just because it was Christmas week did seem abit extortionate, I don’t know if that was down to Sykes? The owners are lovely people, very friendly and kept checking to make sure everything was ok. I got abit fed up of Sykes constantly bombarding me with emails asking me if I wanted to book the property even when I had already made the booking!!

“I stayed at this cottage for 2 weeks and it carltered for all our needs.”

I would return in a heartbeat
Mrs Kitching November 2017

“We would happily return to this cottage as it has everything we require for a successful holiday - very comfortable beds, a walk in shower and bedroom on the ground floor, and sofas that allow you to relax in them.”

It's a little quirky, having two kitchens and sitting rooms, but this only adds to it's charms. The decor is simple with clean white walls which give the cottage a restful feel. And the welcome from the owners was second to none.
Mrs Moore September 2017

“Excellent property.”

Lovely location. Owners were friendly and helpful. Cottage was a delight, with everything you could have wanted to enjoy your holiday.
Mr Page July 2017

“This is a quaint cottage, excellently renovated, in a village on a ridge high above the Halifax to Hebden Bridge valley, with moorlands beyond.”

We found the cottage bright, clean and well fitted out for our needs, and the owner was very welcoming and friendly. There is a shop a quarter of a mile from the cottage, and an hourly bus service to Halifax, terminating very close to the property. As a base for exploring W.Yorkshire, this was an ideal place to stay for us.
