Lovely ground property which is well decorated and furnished. The room heating programme needs to be improved to ensure bedrooms are warm. The property is centrally located in Holmbridge with a small shop and two bars nearby. The countryside locally is wonderful for walking.

The dirty state of the kitchen sink was dreadful. It had particles of food in the plug hole and was all gungy. The washing up bowl was black with dirt. Both toilets were also really dirty. There was black all around the inside rim. We had to purchase bleach, as there wasn't any, and clean it ourselves. There was a musty smell in both bathrooms.

Thankful for the off road parking because the road was very busy. On a good bus route. The pub next door 'stumble inn' advertised 'great beer and food' on its pub sign but when I asked for a food menu they said

Most lovely accommodation we have booked to date. Quiet location just outside of Holmfirth. Everything you could think of provided, beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean.

A perfect little escape in the heart of Holmfirth. Cozy, clean, and full of charm! The cottage was spotless, well-equipped, and just a short walk from town. We loved every minute. Beautiful views, peaceful location, Highly recommend! Couldnt have asked for a better stay welcoming and ideally situated. The host provided lots of thoughtful touches lRead moreike local walking guides. Holmfirth itself is a gem of a town, friendly, full of character & a great base for exploring the Peak District. Hide

Very handy location especially for walking our dog by the river. Good to have off road parking. The accommodation is all ground floor so great for people with mobility issues. Property is very well equipped and beds comfortable. It's a short trip into Holmfirth and it would appear to be on a main bus route if you want to leave the car. Small generaRead morel store a few doors away which was very handy. Recommended. Hide

A lovely property in a beautiful area. For us it was a little too remote as we didnt appreciate how far we would have to walk to places, not great if you dont have good mobility.

We felt that the cottage was comparatively expensive compared to other accomodation rented by family for a wedding in the area. A lot of noise from the upstairs property as well from 6.30 am.
