What our customers say about their holidays

  The views from the cottage were just beautiful and wonderful to look at when you were in cottage.

  The cottage was comfortable to stop in with the nice feel of the log burner at night, we only used this one night to cook some toast as we love toast done on a log burner, we were disgusted with the state of the cottage as most of the cottage looked as though it hadn’t been cleaned in a while, you walk around the lounge or kitchen and you’d either get black feet or black socks disgusting to say they were mopped when we turned up to start our holiday the owner/cleaner was still there so we were late going in and that wasn’t a good start to the holiday, on the tv screen there’s about 2 inches of dust you can’t hardly see the picture of the tv through disgusting, spider webs everywhere, the log fire had been used by the previous people and not been cleaned out, outside the property by the grass is a deep hole and my small dog went down it head first a few times then we had to block it off as one of the times my dog went down head first in the hole she’d cut her neck open so my husband had to put some logs in the hole while I stopped the bleeding of my dogs neck we took her to vets to get her checked out and they gave her antibiotics just in case of infection, me, my husband and our dog Lucky won’t be going back there again only good thing was the views you had.

  This is a lovely cottage situated in Holmfirth next to local walks in the woods with a few amenities (takeaways, bars and a coop) all within walking distance.

  A short drive away to Holmfirth village and several walks that are suitable for off lead walking with the dogs. The property is as listed, furnishings are modern and the property is clean. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it for anyone wanting to use the cottage as a base for exploring the Peak District. We are only giving it a 4 star for reasons related to the garden that won’t be relevant to all guests. First we have 2 dogs and we usually like to relax in the garden with them with a few drinks after a day out walking. The garden in this property is very small at the rear of the property with a fence and locked gates either side to the neighbouring properties (I assume this is for access due to the terraced nature of the properties which back onto a high wall). The garden has fake grass and isn’t really a place we felt we could relax in. It was really only suitable to let the dogs out for a quick morning business as the neighbour’s rottweiler would growl and snarl at our dogs through the fence. I don’t blame the rottweiler, they are only doing a good job of guarding their territory but it was a bit intimidating for my two boxers. If the garden situation isn’t a concern for other guests then I’d definitely recommend the property.

  A return visit to the cosy Boshaw cottage during a bitterly cold week.

  With minus temperatures outside, it was lovely to have the indoor fireplace (though it was quite hard work to keep the fire going, even for experienced ppl). The Christmas tree and the lovely lights were a welcome addition in mid-Dec. What makes this cottage exceptional is that it's super clean, has a very cosy living room, has lovely views and is very well-located. Plus a fantastic hot shower and a fantastic bathtub.The excellent WiFi means that I happily relied on it for work purposes (including conducting an interview). In an ideal world, there'd be a dishwasher instead of a washing machine, a chest of drawers in the right bedroom, some medium-sized bowls, and a bathroom bin with a lid. Very minor quibbles as we have already spoken about booking again, so overall, we still love the place. The kitchen does have a separate freezer by the way (current listing does not have this). My packing tips would be slippers as the kitchen floor is cold and any washing powder/pods if you want to use the washing machine. Finally, Longley Farm is just down the road so I do recommend doing an online Click & Collect order for before you come!

  We stayed in this lovely little terrace for 2 nights.

  On arrival it wasn't too hard to find. Parking is just on the road outside of the property. The first thing we noticed when we opened the door unfortunately was a very strong smell of damp and wet dog. For some reason this smell was only downstairs in the property where as upstairs smelt quite pleasant. Felt rather uncomfortable as I have a very sensitive nose. So didn't cook anything in the property and took food upstairs to eat as I couldn't bare the smell. We bought a can on dog smell deodorising spray with us and even went to a local shop and bought a candle and left the downstairs window open throughout our stay but the smell did not subside. I'm not sure whether we got unlucky maybe from the previous people who visited but I can honestly say this put a huge downer on our stay as the weather was awful and we couldn't go out much. The area itself was lovely and there was a lovely burger restaurant and barkery in Holmfirth and we visited the local reservoir with our dogs which was beautiful.

  We stayed at Boshaw Cottage during the Christmas period and it was perfect.

  The cottage was cosy, well furnished and was everything we needed for a restful festive retreat. It was immaculately clean, well decorated and the welcome pack was a lovely touch after our long journey. The beds were comfortable, warm and welcoming. The bathroom with both a shower and a roll top bath (special touch) were welcome after some cold walks. The fire warmed the whole house up quickly and was a beautiful feature of the living room. It is beautifully located at the top of the hill in Hade Edge looking over the village and reservoir. There was plenty of walks from the doorstep and maps provided. The Bowshaw trout is the local pub (only 192 steps - yes we counted) which offers delicious pub grub, stunning views and local ale. Thank you Jenny, for excellent communication and helping us promptly. It was the most wonderful cottage, highly recommend staying here. Just a note, the directions could be updated to say Bowshaw Trout as a different pub name is given. Thank you again.
