Alphin Apartment is a beautiful first floor apartment that can be found on the edge of Saddleworth Moor, and is situated alongside a main road which makes for easy access to the surrounding area. Located in a converted barn attached to the friendly owners’ mid 19th century Pennine farmhouse, it was completely refurbished throughout in 2018 with wonderful attention to detail, and offers beautiful far reaching views across the South Pennines. Just 2 miles from the popular village of Uppermill, a village which is fast becoming a rival to the trendiest parts of south Manchester, but in a semi rural environment. Uppermill is popular with walkers, cyclists and nature lovers alike with the immediate area surrounded by beautiful countryside such as the spectacular Dovestone Reservoir which is just 10 minutes away, and backs onto the Peak District National Park and all it has to offer. For those bringing their four-legged friends, warm water dog wash facilities are also provided at the property. The Diggle end of the Standedge Tunnel is nearby and Uppermill together with a bustling high street full of restaurants, bars and swish cafés also offers canal boats tours and both canal and riverside walks. Just 5 minutes in the other direction is the small town of Mossley, and uniquely is where the historic counties of Lancashire, Cheshire and the West Riding of Yorkshire all meet.
Around an hours scenic car journey across the moors will take you to the tourist hotspots of artsy Hebden Bridge and fabulous Haworth with its cobbled high street, most famous for its Bronte heritage. Holmfirth most recognisable from Last of the Summer Wine, and the bright lights of Manchester can be reached in around 30 minutes or the city of Leeds in around an hour by car or via the local railway station less than a mile away. Two good food serving pubs are within easy walking distance, and other local attractions include the annual ‘Yanks’ weekend held each August (Dobcross was used as a filming location for the blockbuster ‘Yanks’ starring Richard Gere) and the ‘Whit Friday Brass Band Contest’, often described as ’the greatest free show on Earth’. Shop 1¼ miles, pub and restaurant ¼ mile.

I was very disappointed with my stay at Alphin Apartment because of the owner’s behaviour and the condition of the apartment. When I arrived, the owner came to show me around, but he was very rude and unwelcoming throughout the tour. He also told me that the central heating would only stay on until 11 PM every night, and the radiators were cold every day.The cleanliness of the apartment was also unacceptable. There were cobwebs in every single bedroom, and the bathroom was very dusty. It did not feel properly cleaned or maintained before our arrival.Another issue was the constant banging noises during the night. Me and my sister could hear loud banging sounds, almost as if someone was hitting the wall from the other side where the owner was living. This made us feel uncomfortable and disturbed during our stay. At times, it even felt like the owner was intentionally creating noise to make us uncomfortable and discourage us from staying there again.The only positive part of the experience was the location. The apartment is situated in a very beautiful and convenient area with many shops, restaurants, and places nearby that are easy to access.Overall, although the location was excellent, the rude behaviour of the owner, poor cleanliness, and disturbing noise issues made this a very unpleasant experience. I would not recommend staying here unless these problems are addressed.

We had a fantastic stay at this quaint little apartment in Mossley. The location is absolutely perfect, peaceful and quiet, yet ideally situated for exploring so many of the great places the North West of England and North Wales have to offer. The views from the property are beautiful and really add to the charm of the stay.The apartment itself is just the right size, with comfortable bedrooms and a cosy layout that made us feel right at home. The area has plenty of local dining options, and there are several nearby places to pick up groceries if you prefer to cook your own meals.The owners were extremely kind and welcoming, and we were pleasantly surprised to find a thoughtful welcome package waiting for us on arrival. It was a lovely touch that set the tone for the rest of our stay.We would highly recommend this property to friends and family, and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if we return to the UK in the future.
