    Really comfy charming home. Parking tight which is understandable due to the location. Entrance to bathroom was a challenge, few bumped heads.🤕 Extremely well equipped with all we could need plus a fabulous welcome hamper with local produce. Host...

    Lovely, quirky cottage. Clean, warm, and comfortable. Would like to have stayed longer. We soon got used to the low door and sloping floor in the bathroom. Great location with lovely views even on a dull day and close to Holmfirth.
