  This is a lovely cottage situated in Holmfirth next to local walks in the woods with a few amenities (takeaways, bars and a coop) all within walking distance.

  A short drive away to Holmfirth village and several walks that are suitable for off lead walking with the dogs. The property is as listed, furnishings are modern and the property is clean. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it for anyone wanting to use the cottage as a base for exploring the Peak District. We are only giving it a 4 star for reasons related to the garden that won’t be relevant to all guests. First we have 2 dogs and we usually like to relax in the garden with them with a few drinks after a day out walking. The garden in this property is very small at the rear of the property with a fence and locked gates either side to the neighbouring properties (I assume this is for access due to the terraced nature of the properties which back onto a high wall). The garden has fake grass and isn’t really a place we felt we could relax in. It was really only suitable to let the dogs out for a quick morning business as the neighbour’s rottweiler would growl and snarl at our dogs through the fence. I don’t blame the rottweiler, they are only doing a good job of guarding their territory but it was a bit intimidating for my two boxers. If the garden situation isn’t a concern for other guests then I’d definitely recommend the property.

  We stayed in this lovely little terrace for 2 nights.

  On arrival it wasn't too hard to find. Parking is just on the road outside of the property. The first thing we noticed when we opened the door unfortunately was a very strong smell of damp and wet dog. For some reason this smell was only downstairs in the property where as upstairs smelt quite pleasant. Felt rather uncomfortable as I have a very sensitive nose. So didn't cook anything in the property and took food upstairs to eat as I couldn't bare the smell. We bought a can on dog smell deodorising spray with us and even went to a local shop and bought a candle and left the downstairs window open throughout our stay but the smell did not subside. I'm not sure whether we got unlucky maybe from the previous people who visited but I can honestly say this put a huge downer on our stay as the weather was awful and we couldn't go out much. The area itself was lovely and there was a lovely burger restaurant and barkery in Holmfirth and we visited the local reservoir with our dogs which was beautiful.

  We absolutely loved the cottage.

  It was lovely, very clean and well decorated. It had everything in it that we could have wanted. The location is good and we tried a couple of the local takeaways. The walks around the reservoirs were really good and the scenery is just beautiful. The dampener for the week, other than the weather, which was very wet, was that the electricity board were working outside all day Tuesday so it was difficult to park near the cottage due to how they had the road blocked off. Then on the Wednesday, they cut the electric from 9am - 5pm so we had to spend the day out all day, mostly in the rain, with 2 dogs - it was not much fun at all. It is not the fault of the cottage owners and there was nothing that they could have done about the situation, however it put a bit of a dampener on an otherwise brilliant stay.

  We have just returned from an amazing stay at Mountain View.

  This is an owner who has ticked every box to make very comfortable, stylish accommodation. Added to that is the apartments unique location. Next to a quaint canal bridge with stunning views across Morecambe Bay to the Lake District. Hest Bank is handy for trips in many directions, while still being a restful, sleepy village. There is a handy pub/restaurant just across the road (it isn't noisy). Walks from the door abound, and the owner has left very useful instructions with maps to find them. The kitchen is particularly well equipped, while still having lots of space for your own consumables. So many holiday houses forget you need at least one cupboard for your porridge etc. The very friendly owner was only a text message away when we had a query. We whole heartedly recommend Mountain View.

  Got to the cottage on the afternoon of the 5th October for a 3 night stay.

  It was much bigger than it looked in the pictures. The welcome pack had everything we needed to know about our surroundings. Brilliant. House was literally a home from home. Beautiful. Shower, amazing, bed, so so comfortable. We lit the log burner & it was super cosy. We did venture to the co-op to replace the wood. Felt the right thing to do for the next people to stay. Would highly recommend it. We did 3 stunning walks in different locations, all less then a ten minute drive. Just what you desire from a stay in our Peak District. We totally loved it & all that fresh air has revived us on our return to city life. Highly recommend this cottage & area. It offers everything possibly needed. Also town a stone throw away. Fantastic!!!!!!
