Beautiful place to stay, very peaceful and relaxing. Would like to come and say again and will recommend to family and friends. Owners onsite and we was made extremely welcome. Beautiful scenery and nice local places to visit and eat. Property is well equipped and well decorated, secure off-road parking outside the property. Comfort extremely good and value for money.

Lovely cottage. Very accessible for me, as I have mobility problems. Friendly, helpful owner. Quiet, peaceful location. Clean and well equipped. Only thing that was missing was a tumble dryer. ❤️

We arrived at the cottage to be greeted by a very friendly and welcoming host - Jane. The cottage was lovely and exceptional. It was spacious, very clean and you could settle in straight away. Milk and fresh eggs along with a few coffee pods (Tassimo) and chocolate treats were provided. There is no need to bring washing up liquid, dish washer tablets, shower gel - Jane has thought of everything. The bed linen and towels are all of a high quality.There is a lovely garden where you can sit out and enjoy the peace and quiet. Picnic plates etc are provided in case you want to eat al fresco.It was an excellent base for walking and visiting local attractions such as Holmfirth (Last of the Summer Wine), Elsecar Heritage Centre and the excellent thriving market and shopping in Barnsley.We loved our stay and would have liked to have stayed longer. Hopefully we will be able to return soon.
