About this property
Perched upon a quiet Yorkshire street within the center of Sowerby Bridge town, is Calder Cottage, an immaculate stone-built terraced cottage, perfectly positioned for enjoying the 17 sights of the infamous Happy Valley TV series and stunning West Yorkshire Dales, You can walk straight out of the cottage door and walk to 3 of the sites within 5 minutes.

Joining the space is a contemporary dining table, where you can enjoy the company of your loved ones, whilst tucking into a local takeaway or a home-cooked dish that has been prepared within the kitchen. Take the door to discover the kitchen, where intricate patterns of the ornate tiles lie beneath neutral painted units, topped by sleek marble worktops with a range of quality appliances to assist you in cooking up family-favourite recipes, and a washing machine to easily freshen up belongings after a bracing day on the Yorkshire moors.

There was a damp musty smell in the front room, not sure if it was the furniture or the carpet. The mugs, glasses and cutlery all needed washing before we used them as they all looked greasy and unclean. The bathroom flooring needs refitting. Generally I thought the whole property needed a really good clean. We were so uncomfortable we left a day early! I have used Sykes cottages a number of times but on this occasion I was very disappointed with them, the customer service was diabolical !!

This house was not cleaned properly - or hastily or in some parts not at all. I can understand why the previous guest left early. Dirty oven dirty microwave, body hairs in shower and bath, bed looked it it had been slept in, pillows smelled, kitchen floor not mopped property, grubby looking glasses, plates not washed properly, glass table not cleaned. Bits of grass/moss on carpet - was it even hoovered? We were here for important family purposes and had no choice but to stay. I didn't immediately complain as it was evening time due to late check in and was busy in my trip plus who wants the awkwardness of someone coming round I was only there 3 nights. I did email Sykes the day before leaving to detail all this and explain I wouldn't be held responsible for the oven etc. No reply. I'd actually booked another cottage but without apology Sykes cancelled on owners behalf last minute. This 'cottage' was the only one to met my needs in terms of location, cost and bedrooms. I wouldn't use Sykes again or recommend this property. The lack of reviews says it all. I'm an experienced self catering customer and this is the only bad experience I've had.

We were lucky enough to be able to organise an earlier check in too. The house was lovely and clean and beds really comfortable. The only problem I could foresee is if any of the guest have mobility issues as being an older house the steps were very steep.
