  The cottage was lovely and the surroundings were perfect for short walks and bike rides, straight out of the door.

  The kitchen was very well-equipped and the photos do not lie - the place is beautifully decorated, fitted out with good quality furniture, plenty of kitchen storage, everything worked as it should, and there was plenty of space for our family of five to relax. The ensuite shower room was very handy every day! Rachel was easy to contact for a daft thing (missing tea towels and an oven glove) which she remedied within minutes of us asking, and she was around the farm to helpfully answer some questions about the local area. Even though it was literally next door to the farmhouse we were almost unaware of being near it, with the parking space, the "front" door and rear garden being set away from it, so we felt it was private and we had the place to ourselves. The hot tub was a winner with the children and it was lovely to be able to sit in it and look across the valley, seeing nothing but hills, sheep, cows and couple of farmhouses on the other side of the reservoir. There is a slight inescapable niggle that you have to go out the door, across the stone pavers and around the corner to the rear of the property in your swimwear to get in it, but much of a problem. It's a VERY old building, nicely restored and very comfortable - I won't complain that they haven't knocked through the chimney wall to put a patio door in! . There is a storage building for bikes - it is very simple to get out and do a couple of miles circuit around the reservoir, across the dam, or go a bit further for some hill climbs, which made a 6-miler seem much further! Under-floor heating was nice (though it was warm so could not report it's efficiency if it was winter) Very happy with the place, and would recommend it.

  Our family get together at this beautiful venue was very Special!

  Not only were we meeting up to celebrate our Mother/Grandma/&Great Grandmas' Birthday, but we were getting together to be with our little 'new additions' to family, whom i had only seen once, due to Lockdown. An exciting time had by all of us! The property was FABULOUS! Everything we could ever need for a relaxing holiday, which we all had throughout our stay! The house was a delight, exceptional care to detail, fresh bedding & towels, spotlessly clean throughout and a welcome pack of bread&butter, tea&coffee&milk, as well as a Lovely suprise bottle of Prosecco! We enjoyed every minute of our stay, the beautiful countryside, farm animals surrounding the fields, and relaxing evenings watching the sun go down and moon rise in the sky... all from the warm, relaxing bubbles in the Hot tub! Our little 'Adventurers', aged 7 & almost 2 enjoyed the run around the lovely lawned garden and visits to watch cows, sheep, chickens and horses really tired them on an evening, so were ready to relax in Hot Tub before bed and a good sleep, refreshed next day! Thankyou for making our family break special, we will definately be staying here again soon!

  We had a lovely weekend at the cottage, such a wonderful space with gorgeous views.

  So much to do in the area and explore, but equally could have just sat in front of the fire all day enjoying the landscapes. We were met by a lovely fresh loaf, butter and bottle on arrival too which was a nice touch. Beds very comfortable. The only two things to mention for future consideration are that the hot tub was not hot enough to use on the first night. We arrived at 3pm and by 5/6pm it was still not to temperature. Host was very apologetic and not much that could be done. Maybe just re-fill earlier if possible I guess. The second thing was that the wall in the garden is very low. Low enough for dogs to jump and clear into the field with sheep. One dog was fine with this, but the other dog needed to be on a long line to avoid getting near the livestock. You may want to consider taking a long line if booking. None of the two points above made a difference to the break, just points to consider. We had a great time and would certainly consider returning. Thanks for a lovely stay.

  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

  The cottage was amazing, loved every minute.

  Perfectly advertised on your page. My only down side was contact with yourselves,I understand Covid made your jobs hard but sometimes the ignorance of your replies were quite stressful, we had to rearrange twice which was understandable but trying to speak to an staff member from Sykes or an email reply was almost impossible. Also to get a message the day before travel to say it was our responsibility to find out if we could still visit the cottage as it was in a local lockdown area. We ended up having to contact the owners direct as the government website wasn’t clear,Calderdale council couldn’t advise and your phones weren’t answered so after ringing many people we found out who owned the cottage and asked them directly if they were happy to host us..still happy to book again with yourselves as hoping it was all covid related that your customer service wasn’t it’s bet
