Hi Joan
Thanks for your kind review, and for leaving the cottage in good condition. I hope you enjoyed time spent with your family. Welcome back any time!
Jenny was a marvellous host. She was really helpful with good communication and happy to let us get on with it unless we needed help. We had a three month stay we loved the cottage and Honley is a lovely town with lots of restaurants a really good Co op all within walking distance. The surrounding scenery is really beautiful.

Thank you for your very kind review. I'm so glad you enjoyed staying at Dob cottage, and enjoyed using the facilities of the village. You were thoughtful and considerate guests, and easy to communicate with. If you ever need to stay again, you know where we are. Best wishes for the future!
The cottage is lovly and has everything you need for a stay. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped. Jenny the owner is lovly and thoughtful, the extra touches made our stay. The cottage is a stones throw from the centre of the village, with some great shops and places to eat but also we found some amazing walks within 5 minutes on foot. Only negative is the parking, if you have a large car its a tad tight to get out if you dont reverse in when both neighbours are home.The cottage is in a perfect location to explore last of the summer wine country, Holmfirth has so much character and a brilliant chippie oh and of course Nora Batties cottage.

Thanks both for a kind review.
I hope you were suitably impressed with the lovely countryside round here....I know you did some exploring.
You'd be welcome back anytime, if you come this way again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It is so central, the sun shines into the upstairs living area and the beds are so comfortable. Jenny is a gracious host and the location is central to all we wanted to do. Would definitely recommend, thank you Jenny .
We were made to feel very welcome in this warm and cosy cottage. The parking space was great and we were pleased and surprised to find so many good places to eat within a short work (especially Punch Tapas).Jenny has obviously gone out of her way to think of all the extra touches to make this and lovely place to stay. Highly recommended

A very well appointed property in a quiet location. The owner lives close by and is friendly and helpful. Plenty to see and do in the area. We can thoroughly recommend this cottage.
Excellent cottage, great location. We found it was an ideal base for visits around the area including Holmfirth and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped.

Thank you so much for your review.
The locality of the cottage is one of its best attributes - no need to use the car to go for a meal or a drink. Home delivery too, when the feet ache after exploring the beautiful countryside (maybe not from the fish and chip shop!!!).
