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.

  Hi cottage was clean and spacious , beds were comfortable , plenty of room , good fenced garden but VERY NOISY , even in evenings , DIDNT realise cottage was right next door to co op garage and car park, we could hear traffic in car park in bed and sometimes till gone midnight , sofa on left as you walk in was rock hard even with a topper i bought to make it more comfortable, i slipped and fell down on step into dinning room area with my socks on , luckily i was ok , i have had a few back ops and have a dodgy hip but i was ok, the step is very slippy with socks on , lovey walks from door , and beautiful scenery very nearby , i would definitely go to area again but make sure next cottage is no where near a main /busy road and busy garage/car park , i had read a few reviews and understood co op /garage was across from cottage not actually next door to cottage , kitchen very well equipped , i dont like pulling cottage down but im being honest and think it should be said where position of cottage is , we wouldn’t have booked it but others would , it is a lovely spacious cottage just shame about position /sofa/step thats why we left 3 nights early but area and walks Lovely

  Being next to a petrol station and on a busy A-road let this otherwise beautifully appointed cottage down.

  However the cottage itself is a credit to the owners and the cleaner - everything we and the dogs could have wanted was provided. The wide pavement between the cottage and the road enabled us to park the car in front of the cottage. The woods and playing fields behind were great for walking the dogs but required tight leads for two lively spaniels to get there due to the road or across the petrol station forecourt to the playing fields. The Bells pub serves food Wed - Sun. Our stay was Mon - Thurs. On close inspection of the location map supplied, the pin is over the row of cottages behind The Cottage giving the impression it is further away from the road and petrol station and no hint in the photos or description. The co-op shop in the petrol station was convenient and the only shop in walking distance. Just a fews steps away across the petrol station forecourt. The owners have made this historic cottage perfect once inside. Quiet when doors and windows shut. A good location for exploring the local area but not the quiet, country cottage that may be expected.

  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.

  The cottage was lovely, very clean warn and welcoming.

  Had every facility in the kitchen you could think of. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, literally everything was supplied. The mattress where comfortable and the pillows ok (just a little soft- I ended up getting 2 more off another bed) The 2 biggest things for me where: 1. The blinds in the room need to be black out. Now we are in the summer and it's getting light at 4am the current blinds do not stop this. Unfortunately it woke us and the baby early every morning. Some black out blinds would be better. 2. The gate needs to be a little securer as even a large dog could get under this and escape out on to the busy main road. Luckily our dogs are pretty good and stayed in the garden. However I can see why previous guests have been concerned. However overall our stay has still been 5/5 we all had a lovely time (apart from the bad weather) and we would all highly recommend Wren Cottage.
