The picturesque village of Delph has barely changed from its 19th century hey-day, when it’s small mills were at the heart of a thriving community, and today remains an ideal start for walks up the Castleshaw Valley to the Roman Fort, one of a series built on the Roman military road from Chester to York. Delph boasts several village festivals including a charity beer walk and brass band contest! Nearby, the largest of the Saddleworth villages, Uppermill is situated in the valley below Saddleworth Church and is dominated by an impressive viaduct. The architecture of this attractive village is highlighted in the Local Interest Trail leaflets available from the Tourist Information Centre. Saddleworth Museum highlights the history of the area from Roman times and also has an art gallery with changing exhibitions. The Huddersfield Narrow Canal runs through the village and the canal boat trips and boat traffic attract many visitors. Other attractions include Brownhills Countryside Centre, numerous craft shops, art galleries, gift shops, restaurants, public houses and tea shops.

It feels like a real home from home and we can relax as soon as we get through the door. It is extremely well equipped and is just beautifully and tastefully furnished throughout. It is very well located near some really stunning areas of The Cotswolds, and some incredible walks. Lots of dog friendly pubs nearby, that really are dog friendly. Just can't fault it, had a fantastic week away and we will come again. Highly recommend.

If we were to pick faults, the photos of the sitting room have obviously been taken at a sympathetic angle, it was very cosy, and the pics of the garden are it. We had an issue with the EV charging, unfortunately Major Cottages never responded to us until after we had left. Overall, we would recommend highly for 2 people, any more might find it a bit snug I the sitting room.

However- the cottage is advertised as dog friendly, it was but we could only take the dog out on a lead to the small courtyard area which was not attached to the property, there was assess right of way to the other attached terrace cottages so this area could not be cordoned off The terrace cottage is set on a main road so would not be safe for the dog if not on a lead. The cottage sleeps 4,but the lounge area is very small, would barely seat 4 people, this issue shortened our stay by 3 days as we felt quite cramped. The check in time is 5:00pm ( in the folder in the cottage it states 6:00pm) checkout time 10;00 am, leaving a shortage of 8 hours, due to the long list of terms and conditions we had to complete the itinerary of tasks and cleaning before 10:00 am on departure date, we felt this compromised our stay even more. On booking with Sykes we have to include £250 housekeeping fee which we felt excessive. We were informed on the check in day that the electric car charging point outside was not working and that the owner would try and get this repaired ( we have electric car) this did not happen. All in all we felt the cottage itself was beautiful but certainly not adequate for 4 people especially the lounge area. We would not return unfortunately. We do feel Sykes need to review some T&Cs; as can be misleading and off putting. . .
