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.

  This place is an absolute gem!

  Set in a quiet area within reach of a beautiful village, the barn has both a feel of a combination of an old style cottage but with a modern design. The interior is beautifully designed and is very spacious, which includes a snug area with a wood burner. The kitchen is modern and has everything you will need for preparing meals. On arrival, we found a gift basket that had numerous items (bread, bacon, butter, crisps, Prosecco, milk, eggs and Popcorn) which was a lovely touch. We only had one issue, which was we utilised the gift basket for our bread products only to find that we had had an overnight visitor which opened and pinched alot of the bread products, this wasn't a big deal for us as you are in the middle of fields so you expect that sort of thing. We did let the owners know but only for information. Luckily the weather was kind to us so we utilised the outdoor space and hot tub every day overlooking the beautiful views. Esholt itself is a loveley village, and we visited the Woolpack for evening meal which we enjoyed and is within walking distance. Cunliffe Barn was used as a base to explore the Yorkshire countryside. We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable stay in a very quiet spot of Yorkshire!

  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.

  We loved our stay at Beeston hall.

  The cottages is wonderfully renovated but the original structure was preserved. We loved the original beams that were still in place. Upon arrival we got a fancy welcome package which made us feel right at home. All the bedrooms are really spacious and the beds very comfortable. There are two bathrooms. One is very big and modern. The others one is smaller but onsuite with one of the bedrooms. The kitchen is really big and a joy to cook in. The highlights of the cottage for me were the fireplace and the hot tub. After a nice day of hiking in the mountains we could come home, shower, relax in the hottub with a great view over the mountains and afterward cuddle up in front of the fire place. What more do you want on a holliday? The cottage is next to a working farm and the farmer was really nice. You are allowed to come up and say high to the annimals. Overall we had a wonderfull stay and would highly recoomand this place

  We loved the cottage.

  We really liked that it was an ancient building renovated to such a high standard. It was very warm and comfortable and all the facilities worked well. Having the zip-link beds is a very good idea and for our party, a major point in selecting the property. We appreciated the hot tub which was warm enough to use even though the weather was cold and we had wonderful views over the countryside. Some recommendations from our group: a bannister was seen as a useful addition especially for older guests, a big teapot, more plastic glasses for use in the hot tub and a better fitting filter. One person was surprised at the request to strip our own beds. The only major difficulty was communication with Sykes as I struggled to find an email or phone number. All-in all we had a lovely weekend and I'd like to come back in the summer. Thank you very much.
