The Cottage in Leeds offers a cosy and convenient stay, with its prime location praised for easy access to local sights and transport links. Guests appreciate the property's comfort and presentation, though some have noted issues with cleanliness and maintenance that marred their experience.
Several guests reported the cottage as not being clean, with specific mentions of dirty floors, unflushed toilets, and grubby surfaces. However, not all reviews mentioned cleanliness issues.
The location is highly regarded for its convenience to Leeds, Harrogate, and York, as well as proximity to a park, high street, and railway station, making it ideal for sightseeing and university access.
While some guests found the cottage cosy and comfortable, others reported uncomfortable beds and a lack of space for personal items, indicating a mixed experience regarding comfort.
Facilities are generally appreciated, but several guests encountered issues such as a broken TV, slow drainage, and a lack of cupboard space. Maintenance appears to be needed to address these concerns.
Unfortunately we’ve been unable assess this category comprehensively enough based on the reviews we’ve received from guests about this property.
The Cottage is a pretty, stone-built, terraced cottage resting in the centre of Horsforth. This property has off-road parking and close by amenities, and is an ideal base for friends, two couples, or a family looking for a base in West Yorkshire. Park beside this lovely abode and be welcomed into a characterful sitting room, offering stylish seating and a woodburning stove, settled into an exposed brick fireplace. Take two steps up into a kitchen/diner with a great selection of amenities to cater to your culinary needs, contemporary décor, and a dining space where guests can enjoy hearty meals over a bottle of fizz. There is also access from the kitchen/diner to a cellar where guests can find a freezer. When sleep calls, freshen up in the stylish bathroom, before settling down for the night into a well-presented king-size or double bedroom with storage for all of your belongings. Horsforth is a delightful town offering a great selection of cafés, restaurants, and pubs, with options including The Brownlee Arms, House Coffee, and Trattoria Il Forno. The town offers many independent stores to browse at your leisure, as well as close by attractions such as walks beside the River Aire and at Rodley Nature Reserve, Bramley Fall Park, Meanwood Park, Kirkstall Abbey, a selection of golf courses, and the Abbey House Museum. The bustling city of Leeds is packed with activities for guests to enjoy, so why not catch a game at Elland Road Stadium, or visit the Leeds City Museum? Visit the animals at Tropical World or enjoy a scenic walk at Roundhay Park or the historic Ripley Castle. The Property is within reach of a selection of amazing walks through the scenery of the Nidderdale AONB and the Yorkshire Dales National Park, ideal for hiking, mountain biking, and birdwatching; options include Lippersley Pike, Rylstone Cross, Gordale Scar and Malham Cove. All of this and so much more with a stay at The Cottage.
The charming town of Horsforth rests just over five miles away from the vibrant city of Leeds and just over ten miles from Harrogate. Horsforth is regularly voted as one of the best places to live in Yorkshire and known as a city suburb with a country feel. Enjoy a peaceful stroll around Horsforth Hall Park or the Town Street, immerse yourself in the past at Horsforth Village Museum or venture outside the village for birdwatching at Rodley Nature Reserve. Test your swing at Horsforth Golf Club or jump on the train to explore more of West Yorkshire. If you fancy a break from cooking, there are a cluster of eateries to choose from including Brownlee Arms, named after the famous local Olympic Gold Medallists who were born up the road in Bramhope, Banyan Bar & Kitchen for gourmet burgers and THE agora for Greek cuisine. For the essentials there are several well-stocked convenience stores and supermarkets, so you don't need to worry about running low on ingredients! Venture into the city of Leeds to enjoy some retail therapy at Victoria Leeds, a vast shopping centre with over 200 stores, restaurants and bars. For history buffs, the Royal Armouries Museum is must-see.
