What our customers say about their holidays

  This was an absolutely wonderful stay.

  .far better than we might have hoped or expected. Our hosts were friendly, helpful and generous with their care and provision of unexpected basic provisions to help us settle in. From the word go we felt so comfortable as the cottage lacked nothing in respect to facilities and amenities. It was indeed a home from home in wonderful countryside surroundings. It was a particularly cold time when we stayed, however we remained warm and cosy. We certainly unexpectedly and unfortunately exceeded the expected propane usage, but our hosts were understanding and extremely positive in their recognition of the situation. We felt guilty, but then it had been -4° C and we had decided to stay indoors for 2 out of the 5 days simply chilling and enjoying the cottage, the brilliant sunshine and snowy vistas. All in all we had a superb stay and would highly recommend the cottage for couples and possibly their dog ... ours loved it! The enclosed garden, the secure off-road parking and general privacy and good internet was ideal. We were in need of a break and a chance to relax and that's what we achieved. We appreciated the excellent hosting and the facilities plus the little extras like the dog biscuits and blankets, the crumpets and all the general comforts that sometimes is missing during a holiday stay. Congratulations to our hosts! We just might visit again, but this time when our intended day trip ventures were open.

  We had a wonderful week at Prospect Cottage.

  John & his wife were terrific hosts - they couldn't have been more helpful. John welcomed us on arrival & explained where to find things; the cottage was toasty warm despite low temperatures outdoors, & was very well-equipped. So many nice touches: fresh milk, crumpets & butter, tea, coffee, fruit juice & little cakes awaiting us, plus an invitation to help ourselves to bread & goodies from the freezer. And a lovely surprise: Hotel Chocolat truffles on our pillows! We found the area full of interesting places to visit, all within easy reach. A great area for walking, lots of pubs with good food: we found the Old Bridge Inn in Priest Lane, Ripponden of particular interest, with it's blue plaque claiming to be the "oldest hostelry in the whole of Yorkshire - 1307". We highly recommend their food, especially the legendary weekday lunchtime buffet! And lastly, a must for all fans of "Happy Valley" - all filming locations are in the local area.

  From the time of booking we were made to feel welcome, even being invited to a family fireworks display.

  I am currently on crutches and hosts assist me and partner unloading bags from car. Trust me with my partner a weekend involves a lot of bags. The property is set in a beautiful rural location with great views and relaxing atmosphere. The property its self was beautiful retaining some period feautures but modernised to accommodate every travelers needs. There was lots of complimentary items that had you forgotted anything would of seen you through your stay. The property was clean, comfortable and maintained to a very high standard. Even the wifi for such a rural location was very good and we had no issue at all conecting and using it. The extra touches the owner and even their family extended to us enhanced our experience and made us feel so welcome and relaxed. Anyone looking to stay in this local area would whole heartedly recommend Prospect cottage.

  We had a wonderful time in the cottage, hunkered down in heavy snow.

  John the owner was warm and welcoming, as were everyone in the surrounding cottages. We were provided with a lovely array of provisions. The cottage was small but warm and we had everything we needed. The garden was safe and enclosed for the dog. The area was beautiful. John was very considerate both to us and his former guest, liaising between us to ascertain what leeway could be made during our stays, if required, due to the tricky weather conditions. This is a place we would certainly recommend for its homeliness. We live only 30 minutes away and stayed while we were having renovations on our own home. Pity we haven't any more planned as we would love to come back here.

  Booked for a birthday weekend we really enjoyed our stay at Ash Tree Barn.

  Very comfortable space with a well equipped kitchen and a bottle of wine to welcome us. A lovely touch, thank you. Own outside space was a bonus although the weather didn't permit prolonged use. Great views towards Stoodley Pike and open countryside. Quiet location we had a lovely 5 mile circular walk calling at the Cat I'th Well pub before the final push up the hill for home. Would highly recommend. Our only comment was that the 'how to get there' instructions could include a grid reference or what3words location to pin point exactly where the accommodation is before setting off from home. This suggestion is not just for Ash Tree Barn but for all accommodation.
