The most beautiful, clean and well equipped cottage! We were 4 adults and a dog. There was absolutely no sign of another dog ever been there, the cottage is spotlessly clean. Everything we needed was provided including some nice additions such as dog towels and feeding bowls. The hot tub was great after a long day. We didn’t use the hut at the back but it looked great, there is even a gas pizza oven in there! The location is stunning! A note- there are steps up to the cottage, keeps you fit! The walk into Hebden Bridge takes about 25 minutes through the woods along the river. It’s down hill going, uphill coming back which is very manageable although there is a set of killer steps! The woods are beautiful! Hebden Bridge itself is very pretty with lots of shops, bars, cafes and pubs. It really comes alive at the weekend. We also walked to Gibson Mill to the cafe which was also a beautiful walk. There is a route through the woods which is a track or a much more accessible route on a quiet road. I can’t rate this place enough. We had an amazing holiday!

We had the most amazing time at this beautiful cottage from 02-06 July. The cottage has everything that you need. It was so clean and well stocked. Every room was lovely and clean. Beds were comfortable, beautiful furnishings. The hot tub was lovely after many long days walking with the most amazing views and places to explore on our doorstep. Our dog loved this cottage and settled straight away. I love the fact that the front and back is secure for her also. We liked the snug at the back of the property, we sat here with some wine, with the log burner on when it rained all afternoon and enjoyed the lovely views. I would love to come back here again. Brilliant for our spaniel as so many walks to be explore still even after 4 days here. 10/10
