What our customers say about their holidays

  This is one of the best holiday cottages we have ever stayed in.

  The overall quality and condition of everything was excellent and the owners seemed to have planned for every eventuality. The garden was properly secure for our two terrier-sized dogs and one of them loved the view over the valley so much he would sit for hours just watching the world below him. The "wash room" at the back was invaluable for muddy dogs as well as human muddy boots and was an added extra that we've never come across before but was so useful and well equipped. The variety of walks from the doorstep was great (although you do need to like hills and a couple of challenging stiles). The views from the house over the valley were especially lovely as we were there during bonfire night/week so got a display just about every night. Views from the walks behind/above the house were spectacular over the hills/valleys. Inside the house was well layed out with every amenity we could think of along with very generous human and doggy welcome packs. Any more "rotund" guests may struggle getting into the shower in the ensuite but there is a full sized bath with shower over in the main bathroom. The extra note from the owner regarding not following sat nav directions to get to the house was a godsend. The turn that the satnav sends you down is extremely tight and steep and comes off a busy A road, although we did find that Google Maps sends you the safer route (from Holmfirth) as suggested by the owner. We would highly recommend Wells Cottage as a base to explore this area from and will definitely be back soon.

  We loved Wells Cottage.

  The photos and description were accurate and the arrival instructions were easy to follow. It's a beautiful tastefully decorated period cottage with well designed lounge, fully equipped kitchen, good bathrooms and comfortable beds. The owners have gone beyond expectations to thoughtfully provide everything we needed. There was a lovely welcome basket and milk in the fridge, the kitchen was fully stocked; often in rented kitchens knives can be awful and there's not enough pans etc. Towels in the bedrooms were generous and full size. We loved the lights in the lounge; it felt like staying in a 5 star hotel. We had everything we needed. There was even a programme for the local folk festival and a detailed house guide. When we had questions the owners were quick to respond. The view is wonderful. The only thing I'd say for anyone who has walking difficulties is; it's a very steep walk there and back into Holmfirth or to the pub! Thank you very much for a lovely weekend.

  Lovely property.

  Very clean & cosy. Excellent communication with flexible check in and out times. Lovely little conservatory with great views. Massive negative with a Gardner in the garden from early morning. (Before 9) for most of the day without even any communication from owner. My self and my husband both have health problems after a busy couple of days we had decided this would be a rest and chill day. Breakfast in bed, looking at the garden. and plans to eat lunch in conservatory The reason we had booked for 3 days also. We are quite private and found this very intrusive. Woken by a strimmer and a man right outside the bedroom window. Consequently, we had breakfast with curtains closed and didn't use conservatory. I realise garden maintenance is needed but this should be booked around changeover days, just like cleaning and any other maintenance. We were only staying 3 days, surely the Gardner could have done it the next day when we were checking out.

  The cottage is an excellent size, clean and well equipped.

  Great location too. Walking distance to three pubs and the village of Thornton. We had a little dog with us and all the pubs were dog friendly. The cottage had a lovely enclosed garden which again is great if you have dogs or children. Lovely garden furniture if it's warm enough to sit out and if it is a bit chilly there is a lovely conservatory that looks out over the garden. We received a lovely email from owners a couple of days before our stay explaining key collection etc which was really useful. Owners also left some goodies in kitchen for us including freshly laid eggs from their chickens, milk, biscuits, bread and a bottle of wine. All yummy and much appreciated. Would highly recommend this cottage and will definitely come back here ourselves some day.

  Wells Cottage was all we hoped it would be and more.

  It is beautifully decorated with a lot of thought put into what a guest, and and their family could possibly want. Lots of extras such as blankets for snuggling up on the sofa or for enjoying a cosy evening sat outside. The cottage was spotless and with every utensil you could possibly want. We stayed with our dog who was equally catered for with a dog basket, bowls and even treats. The added extras of milk, prosecco and chocolates too was very welcoming. The location is beautiful, quiet with plenty of assessable walks on the doorstep but also close enough to local pubs and a shops for convenience. We have booked and stayed in many accommodations but Wells Cottage will be up there amongst our very favourite.
