About this property

Peaceful 18th Century Weaver's cottage , perfect for a weekend retreat!!

An old stone terrace cottage , with all the character you would expect from an historic property built in 1759. This delightful spot has fantastic views from the lounge and the front bedrooms, situated as it is in the heart of the West Yorkshire countryside and the Hamlet of Oldfield. With 2 wood burning stoves (one with small oven), stone walls, exposed beams and a relaxing vibe, this house is not only peaceful but near to walks, cafés, pubs and restaurants and is also a popular cycling area. The cottage has a raised platform outside with benches, unfortunately not the garden in front, but with the countryside literally on the doorstep and a small park 100 metres away there is plenty of outdoor space to relax in. There is also an outbuilding that can be used as a bicycle store for up to 3 bikes if requested. If you want to just relax, this is a fantastic property to re energise your soul.

Perfect weekend

Thanks Dave and Gail, lovely stay in your delightful property. Its turning into a second home for our annual Uni reunion and was great to experience the area in early Summer rather than late autumn. Perfectly equipped and furnished in a great location with great views and friendly neighbours. Congrats too on becoming grandparents, Colin.

Christmas getaway

It was a lovely space for our little family Christmas celebrations. Quiet, tidy and very nicely decorated with clear instructions on how to use all the facilities at the property.However even with the extra directions sent by the owners,the cottage was still very difficult to locate.

Outstanding

We planned to do the trans-pennine ale trail backwards (Huddersfield to Stalybridge) but the cottage and surrounding area was that beautiful and peaceful we decided to go the local farm shop and bought some local produce and cooked some delicious food and stayed in for the duration of our stay it was the best decision absolutely loved it we can not wait to return

Lovely cottage in beautiful countryside

The cottage was just as described: clean, well equipped and plenty of character. The large lounge was very comfortable and had wonderful views. It was a great cottage to return to after days out, and Holmfirth had plenty to explore. Overall a lovely stay

Loved our stay in Holmfirth with family members. Great to catch up and have fun together after so long. The views are amazing! Beautiful cottage. Stairs very steep and low ceilings which are typical of the era. Be careful if you’re a bit older though. Recommended.

Our names are Gail and Dave. We met in 1989 as singers in a band, and have been married for 23 years. Gail works for Manchester University and Dave is a music teacher. We have 2 grown up children, Jack and Ellie and an old Jack Russell called Charlie.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property as our quest to buy a bigger house near our current home in the Peak District had fallen flat. With our search extended, we happened upon this cottage and instantly got that feeling. It is our peaceful retreat and we love it!

What makes this property unique

Peace and quiet, walks, Yorkshire, nearby villages and towns and the mood of the house can feel the history.
