About this property
Boasting views out to the moors from the quaint cottage windows in the village of Cragg Vale, is this charming stone terrace cottage, Mirk Cottage. Sleeping up to four guests in two bedrooms, this property has been wonderfully brought into the 21st century whilst maintaining its classic cottage feel, and perfectly positioned in West Yorkshire for exploring the countryside. Step inside to be greeted by wonderful mix of contemporary and vintage, with a fully fitted kitchen presenting you with a range of appliances, including a slimline dishwasher, washing machine, microwave oven and fridge, along with a stylish breakfast bar style dining area. Move across to the sitting area to relax before the large inglenook fireplace where a woodburning stove can offer warmth on a winter night, wind down and watch a film on the Smart TV as you sink into the plush sofas. Take your morning coffee out onto the patio or dine alfresco for lunches and dinners here too, with an external storage area here to store any bikes. Head upstairs in the evening and choose from either the king-size bedroom or the double bedroom, each enjoying space to store your belongings and attractive decor, with both being served by the sparkling, neat shower room. The nearby village of Cragg Vale is something of a mecca for cyclists with the challenging incline rewarded by breath-taking views at the top and the village of Luddenden is also not far and is the location of Jerusalem Farm, a popular local nature reserve. The area is so beautiful it has been chosen as the location for a number of well known TV programmes including Happy Valley, In Loving Memory and Last Tango in Halifax.

The only thing I would say is the dining table and chairs were a little to high. We managed but it might be uncomfortable for some people. Really recommend the cottage!

Directions and entry instructions were easy to follow, the views are fabulous and the cottage is very nicely and comfortably furnished. Thereâs plenty of cooking equipment which is great as thereâs a fabulous farm shop nearby, a short drive or walkable. Although thereâs an undercounter fridge with small freezer, thereâs also access to a bigger freezer. Great for leftovers or things you might want to take home from the farm shop. The cottage does front onto a road that takes a fair bit of traffic. For us this didnât matter as it was getting colder and we mostly had windows closed but this might have been more of an issue in summer if you wanted open windows, especially overnight. Lovely property though in a great location. Owner friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again. Highly Recommended.
