"A very nice, roomy cottage."
I’ve stayed there several times and will again if the opportunity arises. I have two suggestions that I cannot stress strongly enough. (1) Hand rails are needed on the stairs. I once fell backwards down the stairs due to the lack of a hand rail. Had I sustained serious injuries you would’ve heard more than just this note. (2) A bar to grasp when entering/exiting the bath tub is needed. The bottom of the tub is very slick. I bought shower shoes in Huddersfield to prevent a fall.
Many thanks for your feedback. This is something we will look into over the next couple of weeks. Thank you for your feedback. We hope you’ll visit us again one day in either The Lookout or Oak and Stars Hideaway. Thank you Property Owner

In an excellent central location and with the glorious Peak District close by, this stylish abode can be enjoyed equally for a relaxing retreat or an adventure-filled holiday for families or friends.

Firstly, you will enter into a welcoming sitting room with warming blue tones, flick on the Smart TV to enjoy a movie night with your loved ones, or if you are seeking some me time, take a seat with a book to read at the divine window seat overlooking Holmfirth town.
The chef of the kitchen can experiment with new flavours in the polished kitchen, serve your delicious creations straight from the hob to the breakfast bar, as the family gather around to enjoy and plan the next day's adventures.
The kitchen features a quaint piece of artwork to view as you wash any dishes left over from your feast.
When the night draws to a close head up to the second floor, to find two tastefully finished king-size bedrooms, both with rustic exposed wooden beams, and lovely artwork.
This first-class accommodation concludes exquisitely with a stylish family bathroom boasting glistening tiles and a rainfall shower over the bath.
Step out of your front door and stumble upon the wonderful market town of Holmfirth, split by the River Holme with both sides providing superb shops and eateries.
Explore your surroundings, art lovers can enjoy the works of Barbara Hepworth, Damien Hirst and Henry Moore at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, with over one hundred sculptures to view, enjoy a stroll along the footpath and woodland areas, pack a picnic to tuck into whilst looking onto the picturesque lake, you may even see some sheep and lambs roaming in the countryside field.

Six miles away lies the city of Huddersfield, home to Colne Valley Museum, Castle Hill and Ravensknowle Park, whilst the cities of Sheffield and Manchester can be found further afield, so there’s plenty to add to your itinerary.
To truly admire breath-taking walking and cycling country, take the trip into the Peak District National Park before escaping to Peveril Castle, Treak Cliff Cavern, Bamford Edge, or B29 Overexposed Crash Site.

Where you’ll be staying
HOLMFIRTH
Peak District National Park 3 miles; Meltham 4 miles
The old traditional Pennine town of Holmfirth is situated in the heart of the beautiful Holme Valley, on the edge of the West Yorkshire Pennines. Made famous by The Last of The Summer Wine TV series, there is more to Holmfirth than Compo and Nora Batty’s stockings! The ‘Picturedrome’, the North of England’s finest live music venue attracts many famous bands and is located right in the centre of the town. The pelotons from the Tour de France 2014 and the Tour de Yorkshire have both been through this quaint Holme Valley town en route to the iconic 524 metre Holme Moss climb two miles away. It is in these hills where cycling’s triple Olympic Medalist Ed Clancy grew up. Holmfirth also has a good public swimming pool and fitness centre, parks and some super shops and restaurants. The people here are friendly, the streets are quaint and the scenery is breathtaking. The Peak District National Park with its moors, dales, forests, lakes and reservoirs is also easily accessible. The Upper Derwent Valley, home to the spectacular Ladybower and Derwent reservoirs, and where the famous 617 ‘Dambusters’ Squadron practiced the audacious bombing raid on the Ruhr valley in 1943, is only a short scenic drive away. Slightly further is Chatsworth, the stately home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, and situated close to the market town of Bakewell, the home of Bakewell Puddings. The Yorkshire Sculpture Park, The National Coal Mining Museum, Wentworth Castle, and the Hepworth Gallery are also within short drives away and well worth a visit. For a spot of culture, Holmfirth has annual festivals with many more attractions that bring visitors back for more; such as the Folk, Arts, and Food & Drink Festivals. Also not to be missed, is Holmfirth Vineyard and Restaurant, where you can book wine tasting tours and enjoy a lovely meal in the restaurant.
