Cosy Cottage was very well appointed and equipped. Very clean. A lovely thoughtful welcome pack. Beautiful views and a lovely area to stay in. The only thing that I would change is a bit of private outside space to sit and enjoy the lovely weather we had. Alan was really helpful as well. Would highly recommend.

Just returned home from Cosy cottage after a momentous week. Booked for Holiday/family event. Couldn’t have asked for better. The cottage is characterful but beautifully done. Set on three floors. With two lovely bedrooms one en-suite. The views are stunning. Lovely 15 mins walk down the back lane(quiet) into Diggle. If you want to go further another 20 mins along the canal takes you into Uppermill which is a great day/night out. The owner Alan could not have been nicer. Not many negatives for me , maybe the WiFi could be faster and little outside space but if you look where you are do you need it. Superb value for money. Highly recommend. Thanks again Alan.
