  The coach house is a lovely little place and the hosts are really thoughtful.

  The place is spotless clean and close to some nearby facilities as shops, pubs, restaurants and entertainment such as go karting, fishing lakes etc. The people in the area are friendly and at the pub etc they will happily chat over to you, in the local shops they were helpful not to mention that the local area also has nice walks and countryside. The only downsides to this is that there is no real garden so the outdoor space is very limited if travelling with dogs or young kids that may want to play out in an enclosed garden. However the terrace area is lovely to sit out and enjoy a drink, plus there are nearby walks and parks to go with dogs and kids if able. The main problem with the Coach House is the street you have to come up to the house which is a steep terrace street but it hasn’t seemingly been surfaced , which was no problem for my 4x4 but I was concerned it was damaging my sons little BMW which made it up but struggled . There is only one official space to park once up the top as well. So a second car has to find somewhere to potentially park on the street, of which you can do . That said there are a lot of small cars parked on the street up which also have to navigate this very uneven track and they seem to manage so I may just be worrying to much, I did drive my sons car up one day and after a lot of noise and wheel spinning I made it , which I didn’t enjoy . However again it may say more about how nervous I was at driving up this surface. It is possible to park below ans walk up and as a short street it’s not a long walk up at all , a minute or so at most. Once at the top the Coach house is beautiful and cosy little space to spend a lovely weeks break, which is what we did. I would recommend it for lovely scenery with the view from the windows over looking cows fields and from the from window you can see down across the lovely fields below. It has all the home comforts you will need and a good selection of games to entertain kids to adults. Lovely little kitchen to cook and sit around the table to a nice family meal etc.

  With a few tweaks and care the cottage could be improved There was no hand wash in kitchen or bathrooms, no dishwasher tablets, no washing up liquid, -only 1/2inch left in bottle,- no bin liners, chipped crockery, coffee mugs were badly stained.

  I soaked them in Steredant tablets before I could use them. the oven, hob and sinks required a good clean, as did the fridge and the broken shelf replaced The shower base was very slippy and nothing to clean it with.. used a small hand towel to stand on when showering. The stairs were very steep and narrow. I was very surprised that there was no smoke alarm, I understood it was a legal requirement in all holiday cottages. No mention of the steps up to the front door, off road parking was mentioned, but it was very tricky parking in the space available. The cottage is not dog friendly, Our JR escaped under the gate on arrival. very steep and rocky path up to small piece of grass available. There was no mention of the steep road up or down to the cottage, very narrow road with cars parked everywhere, Positives.. heating very efficient and comfortable bed. I suggest that the owners and Sykes are honest with us and say exactly what to expect at a holiday cottage. this the first time I have booked with Skyes and I was very disappointed with this cottage. For the amount of money we paid I expect better standards. I have been using holiday cottages for the past 15 years and am normally very happy with the cottages we have used in the past. Thank you.

  Easy to find [thankyou Satnav] and parking was no problem - either outside, or across the street in a small layby.

  The cottage was immaculately clean and well presented - a bottle of wine on the table and tasteful, minimalist, Christmas decorations, were equally appreciated. Loved the oak furniture and the solid oak doors throughout the cottage. The bed was very comfortable and it was good to see the countryside from the upstairs window; albeit a distance away, and to spot the incoming weather! A well appointed modern bathroom, although, for those of a certain age, care is needed when stepping into and out of the bath : ). We used the multi-fuel stove, as I was suffering from a bit of a head cold, and appreciated the extra warmth it gave. Took a while to get used to the controls, but it gives out good heat. Poor weather, along with an aim to relax, meant that we only did a couple of canal walks, but really good to have this facility so close. Everything you need is in the kitchen, although it can be a little on the cool side when the wind blows from the west, however, the curtain isolates it nicely from the cosy lounge. There is the pub a short walk down the hill and a short walk further, a small Co-op at the garage roundabout, which has the basics and wood supplies. All in all, a pleasant Christmas break.

  We had a wonderful stay at The Coach House.

  The cottage is absolutely beautiful and had everything that we needed. It was the perfect size for my husband and I, our two young sons and my mum - it is so spacious and our children certainly made themselves at home very quickly. The owners, Mark and Sue, went out of their way to make our stay perfect in every way and are such lovely people. The cottage is surrounded by the most beautiful countryside with many public footpaths to choose from. The Thornton viaduct is a five minute walk away and the views are breathtaking. Haworth is a 15 minute drive away, as in the Worth Valley Railway. Shibden Hall and Park (home of Anne Lister - “Gentleman Jack”) in Halifax is close by and we spent the whole day there. We also had a fantastic trip to Hesketh Farm near Bolton Abbey which is 50 minutes away. The Bronte Falls and Penistone Park are also close by. The road leading up to the cottage is quite uneven and bumpy but our little hatchback went up and down without any problems at all. It’s a perfect cottage - comfortable, light and airy with plenty of space for a young family. We loved every minute!!

  Our second stay at this lovely property, Box Cottage is set in the perfect location of Oxenhope, with views of the hills from bedroom windows.

  In good weather, we used the patio table at the front. (There is no back garden). Excellent dining pub up on the moor a 5 minute drive away, or you can walk to another for a drink just around the corner. 7 mile drive to Hebden Bridge or only 2 to Haworth, the cottage couldn't be better placed in this area. A great local shop just a 10 minute walk away (quite a steep hill on return) or slightly further to see the vintage railway station. At the cottage itself, the beds and bedlinen are superbly comfortable with a real luxury feel. Two bathrooms are a bonus. Wifi was reliable. TV adequate. Sofa not particularly comfortable but armchairs are fine. Our only slight quibble this time was that we needed to quickly buy £10 worth of basic household items for the kitchen as they weren't anywhere to be found, but this may have been an oversight, as it hadn't happened on our previous trip. The local shop has everything you might need, plus a great fresh bakery. We hope to return.
