Guests say
Worth Valley Lodge is a well-maintained, cosy cottage appreciated for its cleanliness, comfort, and thoughtful touches like a welcome basket. It serves as a great base for exploring local attractions, though some guests noted issues with parking and traffic noise due to its proximity to a busy road.
Most guests found the cottage to be clean and well-kept, with a few noting areas for improvement such as cobwebs and kitchen cleanliness. The majority of feedback, however, reflects a satisfactory level of cleanliness.
The location is convenient for visiting local sites, but several reviews mention the proximity to a busy road as a downside, affecting the tranquillity and ease of parking. The accessibility to attractions is a plus, but the traffic noise is a concern for some guests.
Guests generally found the cottage to be cosy and comfortable, with a comfy bed and nice shower. The cottage is equipped for a pleasant stay, although the traffic noise was a discomfort for some during the night.
The cottage is well-equipped with kitchen essentials, a washing machine, and entertainment options like WiFi and streaming services. However, some guests struggled with the WiFi code and parking, and there were occasional maintenance issues like a cracked cup.
Many guests were delighted by the thoughtful welcome basket, including wine and biscuits, and the provision of dog treats. These gestures contributed positively to their experience, although it's important to note that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be a standard offering for every stay.

Dirty fridge with residues in shelf edges and standing water. Stagnant water left in washing machine. Toothbrush holder was disgusting, cobwebs on lounge light, dust and not sawdust as owner said all over utensils. Nothing provided to protect from heat when opening wood burner ( people had previously used oven gloves that were left black). Cobwebs all inside the extractor above the hob that could drop in your food. Headboard in main bedroom was all stained. The shower was advertised as a walkin but it was about 12" off the ground, the tiles on the step were wall tiles so were slippy. I have a back problem so had to be helped in and out by my wife. The shower curtain was dirty and a linen lined bin in the bathroom is not hygienic if people have to dispose of sanitary items. The bathroom smelt of drains. Road noise was non stop and that's no lie. You have to reverse up the slope if past two parked cars and try and avoid the railing, pulling out is completely blind into a main busy road. The fire extinguisher was in a cupboard rather than being wall mounted as it should be. We had a pleasant stay but that was down to the area we visited. If you want a quiet relaxing stay this is not the place.

The parking was non existent. We rang the owner who said park near the gates at the top of the road however this is impossible as it would block her neighbour in. Her neighbour spoke to us irately which wasnât great on arrival This cottage should not be advertised as parking available. We had to park 0.8 miles away . The photo on Sykes website showing a gate leading to fields is false information as there is no gate leading to fields in fact there isnât even a back yard space for dogs which meant each morning and night and during the night we had to take them out rather than just letting them out for a few minutes especially as it was raining and cold . Had we known there was no outside space we would not have booked this cottage . Also when booking through Sykes I wanted a place in Howarth this was actually in Keighley so had to drive each day to access Howarth. Overall a disappointing experience with Sykes Cottages
