Had a really nice short break here. Of all the cottages I've ever stayed in this was the best equipped one and had the biggest selection of stuff you need in a cottage when you get there. Often you get a bare minimum of anything, but here there was plenty of everything you needed. Even the TV was great, usually you get some cheap smallish TV with minimal freeview channels, but here it was a big one with Netflix and Amazon. Internet speed was also more than acceptable. I know you don't go on holiday to watch TV and surf the internet, but it's great it being there and to me is a perfect combination of modern living in a lovely old cottage.
Cottage itself was very nice, on 3 floors with the bedrooms all being on the top floor, living room and bathroom on middle floor and kitchen and dining room on bottom floor. Bathroom and kitchen very modern. And the views from the front of the house were lovely over the hills and fields.
Was there during the hottest week of the year and whilst I appreciate that this may not be an usual situation in the UK, the thick stone walls kept it relatively cool. There were also plenty of new radiators in the place as well so I'm sure it will be nice and warm during normal UK weather if needed.
Lots of nice walks nearby starting at the cottage. Honley is nearby and a nice little town with some great places to eat (try the Tapas place).
We went with our dog and I suppose the only slight downside is that there is no outside space with the cottage for the dog to be let loose in and only a front door. But we knew that beforehand and it wasn't an issue, the neighbours all seemed very friendly and there's only ever going to be one car driving in front of the house, so it's safe for dogs/kids out the front.
There seemed to be a mixture of locals and holiday lets in the small settlement where the cottage is. You park on the road about 200 yards from the cottage, but again that is not an issue as it isn't far, there are several cars there doing the same and there's plenty of space to park on the road. The parking spaces near the cottages seemed to be reserved, rightly so, for the locals. But you can drive to the cottage to load and unload.
So really enjoyed my stay, well worth booking if you are thinking of staying in this area.
