Holme Cottage is one of the oldest buildings in Hebden Bridge.
It is right in the centre, very close to the old packhorse bridge which gives the town its name.
In a quiet location it is 2 minutes walk from all the amenities which the town has to offer, and ideally situated for public transport.
The property has been modernised to present day standards while retaining original features.

There is a Smart TV with Netflix, Wi-Fi and comfortable furnishings, and an electric fire for those chilly evenings.
There is a small kitchen complete with cooker, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, kettle and toaster.
All essential kitchen and dining equipment is provided for those wishing to self cater, though many guests prefer to sample the many eateries which are just a few minutes walk away.

The bathroom has an over bath shower.
