The Coach House

The coach house is a lovely property.

It was clean, spacious, well kept and had everything we needed. It was ideally situated for all the beautiful villages we wanted to visit. Would highly recommend

Right in heart of Thornton village which was good having coming from Thornton it was brilliant

We had a wonderful stay.

The location and local folk were lovely. Would definitely come back for another visit.

Mark was quick to respond when contacted and was receptive to my concerns.

Unfortunately my stay was cut short due to the uncleanliness of the cottage, which Mark reassured me that he and his wife Sue had addressed with the cleaning company. The unclaimed road was difficult to navigate, as was the single and very narrow parking space. The decked area looks directly onto the next property, and is in need of maintenance repair. There has been 80% of guests requesting a washing machine, but there is a dishwasher in its place instead of what was on the advertised pictures. The dishwasher was not used by myself, a washing machine would have been used given the amount of rain and wet muddy clothes from both myself and dog during my short stay. The location was close to local places of interest.

I love coming to Coach House as it is a lovely home to have family together.

Sue and Mark have made everything they could to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Thank you I would choose the house more if it had a washing machine as it’s a chore to look for a place to wash clothes. I have stayed in other houses where the dishwasher was a small one and hence there was space for the washing machine. Unfortunately, the access road to the property is a real hazard for the car suspension. Overall, we enjoyed staying there. Thank you Sue and Mark x

We had a lovely family holiday in The Coach House.

The children thoroughly enjoyed exploring Yorkshire and the kitchen was well equipped for us to be able to enjoy home cooking each evening. The beds were really comfortable and we all slept well. Thank you for the generous welcome pack too - very much appreciated.

Absolutely gorgeous cottage.

It was spotlessly clean and very comfortable beds and sofa’s. The lovely welcome pack was unexpected but very kind of the owners. I would definitely recommend The Coach House to anyone looking for a home from home for a break.

We had a lovely stay.

It was so fresh and clean and the bedrooms were comfortable. The kitchen was lovely and well equipped. It was lovely that our dog was welcome too.

Fantastic property, super clean and high quality furnishings.

The house was a real home from home and very well equipped. Quiet area overlooking lovely fields. The only minor downside is that there is no washing machine though this wasn’t an issue for us. Thank you and we will certainly rebook.

When ever I stay there I feel truly at home.

The space fosters family time together. I love it. Thank you Sue and Mark

Lovely accommodation and good location.

Everything you would need for a staycation. The welcome gift was lovely touch, everything was spotless and well thought out. It was our first time away with our puppies and was great. Loved the under floor heating in the kitchen. Only thing we would say is the decking outside was very slippy(our little girl fell a couple of times) also due to the amount of rain we been having the Astro turf on walkway to house was really wet (even though it didn’t rain much whilst we were there) so just meant we had to be on it with our three little girls and drying the puppies feet every time they came in from outside. We would definitely recommend, Sue was so prompt with getting back to us with any issues and a perfect host

Well equipped with a lovely homely feel.

Yet another great find.

Well done Sykes Holiday Cottages.

We had a great holiday at the Coach House and received good, quick, responses from the owner to our queries.

We have rented cottages for the last 3 years (or so) and this was the best of the cottages that we've rented.

Lovely comfy beds.

Everything there you could need. Great idea of the welcome pack and greeting card. Very clean and tidy. Will visit again if in the area.

Fantastic place to stay with family.

Beautiful home, the owners could not of made the place anymore stunning then it is, we can not wait to book again.

The coach house was fantastic.

Would definitely recommend and book again

The TV is quite old - not a SMART tv so is limited.

A simple upgrade would be to have a chrome cast option. Given we went along in colder days not having option to watch films etc was a shame. The property would benefit from having hooks on doors of rooms for coats etc

Really lovely property.

The pictures don't do it justice. 5 of us stayed over Christmas whilst in Bradford to be with family and it felt like a home away from home. The house is also well equipped for a comfortable stay.

Absolutely stunning holiday cottage.

The welcome pack on arrival was great and to find that we had a Christmas tree and other decorations and the heating was on for a nice cosy welcome was amazing. We really enjoyed our stay here and hope to return at some point in the future.

Very well equipped house, comfortable beds.

Welcome pack was very kind. Location good fro sightseeing. Only drawback is the unadopted road leading up to the property.

Beautiful holiday cottage in a beautiful location.

The property was spotlessly clean and we felt relaxed right away. The welcome goodies were very much appreciated too. We were worried about the road up to the property based on previous feedback but didn't find this to be an issue at all. We enjoyed our visits to Shibden Hall (where they filmed Gentleman Jack), Haworth, Bolton Abbey Steam Railway, Robertshaw's award-winning farm shop and a cruise along the River Ouze in York. There is still so much that we would like to explore in this area so would be happy to stay here again.

Nice cottage no problem with this cottage lovely weclcome pack

The house was lovely and in a great setting.

The owners couldn't do enough to help us. Please don't let the Bradford address put you off, as the house in the countryside and backs onto fields with cows. We had a delivery driver ask us 'why have you come to Bradford for a holiday?' Went on a couple of walks and a run around where we stayed too.

We stayed at the Coach House for a few days whilst visiting family over Christmas.

The cottage is lovely, very clean and comfortable and the owners Sue and Mark went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed; they had decorated it beautifully for Christmas with a tree and other decorations and even provided a foil tin to roast the turkey in! This is a lovely area of Yorkshire and the snow on Boxing Day was the icing on the cake! Would definitely book again.

Fantastic hosts!

Fantastic cottage! Immaculate! Had a slight issue with the shower and it was resolved right away. Very friendly and helpful hosts, at the end of the phone whenever needed! Would definitely stay again.

Cottage was spotlessly clean and very nice.

Our whole family enjoyed their stay very much. On a small note (we tend to wash up and dry up as don't have dishwasher at home) So would have preferred a washer (clothes) to a dishwasher - but we are probably in a minority here! Overall very happy with the cottage and the friendliness / support of the owners - thank you so much!

We had a wonderful stay at The Coach House.

The cottage is absolutely beautiful and had everything that we needed. It was the perfect size for my husband and I, our two young sons and my mum - it is so spacious and our children certainly made themselves at home very quickly. The owners, Mark and Sue, went out of their way to make our stay perfect in every way and are such lovely people. The cottage is surrounded by the most beautiful countryside with many public footpaths to choose from. The Thornton viaduct is a five minute walk away and the views are breathtaking. Haworth is a 15 minute drive away, as in the Worth Valley Railway. Shibden Hall and Park (home of Anne Lister - “Gentleman Jack”) in Halifax is close by and we spent the whole day there. We also had a fantastic trip to Hesketh Farm near Bolton Abbey which is 50 minutes away. The Bronte Falls and Penistone Park are also close by. The road leading up to the cottage is quite uneven and bumpy but our little hatchback went up and down without any problems at all. It’s a perfect cottage - comfortable, light and airy with plenty of space for a young family. We loved every minute!!

We started off on the wrong foot.

My older son arrived earlier whilst I dropped at a nearby shop to buy bread etc. He made an error parked on the side road instead of at the dedicated place and attracted unnecessary aggro from one of the residents before we moved the car swiftly. The house is spotless and immaculate, and we had a welcome postcard and gifts (though couldn't accept it as we are non-drinkers). It has almost everything we needed, although a washing machine would come in more handy than a dishwasher especially after long walking in woodlands, caves, and waterfall trails. Not very happy with an instruction received before starting our holiday to remove bed linen at end of our stay (which is a tight 10 AM) for IPC reasons, which is a BIG ask (is cleaning should already be included in the bill?).

The house is lovely, well equipped and scrupulously clean.

The lane/street up to it is a nightmare - massive holes and very bumpy - had to park car on main road as I didn’t want to take it up and down the lane - not a major big deal but I wanted my car in the drive where I could see it

The Coach House was fantastic.

Beautifully laid out and furnished and immaculately clean. There was a welcome note and gifts waiting for us and we felt comfortable immediately, a great choice of a place to stay. We did meet Sue who was really a nice person and extremely helpful when we had a problem with our car. Hope to go back one day, would highly recommend the Coach house . In addition the area is beautiful, the people friendly and the Blue Boar Pub very well worth a visit.

Beautiful property.

Tastefully decorated with a luxuriant feel. Lovely welcoming note and lots of goodies.

The coach house is a lovely little place and the hosts are really thoughtful.

The place is spotless clean and close to some nearby facilities as shops, pubs, restaurants and entertainment such as go karting, fishing lakes etc. The people in the area are friendly and at the pub etc they will happily chat over to you, in the local shops they were helpful not to mention that the local area also has nice walks and countryside. The only downsides to this is that there is no real garden so the outdoor space is very limited if travelling with dogs or young kids that may want to play out in an enclosed garden. However the terrace area is lovely to sit out and enjoy a drink, plus there are nearby walks and parks to go with dogs and kids if able. The main problem with the Coach House is the street you have to come up to the house which is a steep terrace street but it hasn’t seemingly been surfaced , which was no problem for my 4x4 but I was concerned it was damaging my sons little BMW which made it up but struggled . There is only one official space to park once up the top as well. So a second car has to find somewhere to potentially park on the street, of which you can do . That said there are a lot of small cars parked on the street up which also have to navigate this very uneven track and they seem to manage so I may just be worrying to much, I did drive my sons car up one day and after a lot of noise and wheel spinning I made it , which I didn’t enjoy . However again it may say more about how nervous I was at driving up this surface. It is possible to park below ans walk up and as a short street it’s not a long walk up at all , a minute or so at most. Once at the top the Coach house is beautiful and cosy little space to spend a lovely weeks break, which is what we did. I would recommend it for lovely scenery with the view from the windows over looking cows fields and from the from window you can see down across the lovely fields below. It has all the home comforts you will need and a good selection of games to entertain kids to adults. Lovely little kitchen to cook and sit around the table to a nice family meal etc.

Absolutely lovely cottage inside, it had everything we needed and the welcome flowers, cake and alcohol was a lovely touch.

Although there was a decking area outside it didn't get any sun until about 7pm and the lovely view of the fields was obstructed by a smaller unused building. The road leading up to the cottage was in urgent need of repair and we worried about damaging our car getting to the cottage. Overall we enjoyed our stay but I'm not sure if we would return as we have done what we wanted to do in the area.

The cottage was spotlessly clean, with all the necessary facilities required for a comfortable stay, and Sue who I assumed was the owner, was absolutely lovely!

! So friendly, helpful and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble, plus she left a welcome pack, which was most appreciated.

The cottage is extremely comfortable, well equipped with homely touches.

There is a lovely dog walk in beautiful countryside just across the road on the Great North path.
