Slant End Cottage is a wonderful end terraced cottage that can be found in the West Yorkshire village of Linthwaite, just 3 miles from centre of Huddersfield and on the edge of the Peak District National Park. Renovated throughout in 2021, the property has been beautifully furnished with wonderful attention detail. Set in an elevated position it also boasts wonderful long distance views over the surrounding countryside.
The village of Linthwaite is set in the stunning Colne Valley, together with neighbouring Marsden, Slaithwaite and Golcar and Milnsbridge. It’s home to a good selection of local amenities including food serving pubs, takeaways and a convenience store. Quite wonderfully Linthwaite Mill has also been splendidly converted into the ’Titanic Spa’, the first established eco-spa in the country and is a mere 15 minute walk (although up and down hill).
The canalside mill village of Slaithwaite is just 5 minutes down the road and in 2021 was voted one of the best places to live. Marsden is 10 minutes away and plays host to a fabulous jazz festival each October, as well as being home to Stanedge Tunnel and Visitor Centre. Holmfirth is around 20 minutes and although most recognised from ’Last of the Summer Wine’, is uniquely also home to its own vineyard. The Peak District National Park is less than 5 miles, and for anyone wanting to venture further afield an hour’s drive can take you to the historic walled city of York, Harrogate, Leeds or even Skipton. You really are spoilt for choice!

Slant End is honestly like a home away from home, when you arrive you have everything you need. There was tea, coffee and even milk in the fridge upon arrival. I have been to places where tea and coffee was available but never milk before, that was definitely an extra little touch that was appreciated after 3 hours of travelling! The owners were really friendly and welcoming and even left their own personal numbers if we had any problems (thankfully we didn't!) The cottage itself was very clean. The only problem we had was the street is very thin and sometimes it was difficult to park on the off-road parking provided due to cars opposite, but we did have a big car which didn't help. Although this did not put us off and we would definitely come back :)

This cosy, quiet and well-equipped cottage provides a comfortable home from home when working away. With excellent internet connection and easy off-street parking, staying at Slant End Cottage allowed for restful, relaxing evenings after my busy working days. Host Wendy was incredibly helpful and friendly whilst also respecting my need for peace and privacy throughout my stay. I would most definitely stay again, making sure I check out the busy, local chippie at the bottom of the hill next time!

A lovely comfortable cottage. The cottage has everything you need for a short stay. It was very clean and decorated well. It was also good value. Nothing the owners can do about the main road nearby, that could cause issues for those sensitive to traffic noise. The owners were very friendly and helpful. We would stay there again if needed.
