Beautiful cottage

Cosy, well-equipped cottage in a stunning location. Lovely views of the reservoir from all the windows at the front of the property. It feels remote yet is only a few minutes from town so offers the best of both worlds. The host, Marie, was easy to get hold of and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Stunning location

Very well equipped and tastefully decorated cottage with amazing views over the reservoir and Holme valley. Local walks and places to eat are convenient. Only one thing wasn’t quite perfect. The key safe is near the ground and hard to access for those of us who aren’t as mobile as we used to be. Otherwise a wonderful place to stay.

Martha’s Cottage

This is a cozy, comfortable Yorkshire terraced cottage! I was here alone for most of the month of March. The cottage is fully furnished with everything one might need. The hosts, Marie and Dan were super helpful, and so easy to contact! I would greatly recommend this place, if you are looking to explore S. Yorkshire!

What an truly incredible cottage: stunning views, great neighbours and some wonderful walks. The cottage was immaculate, well maintained and very well equipped. Cosy and comfortable - everything we needed was there. There is even underfloor heating in the downstairs shower room! Marie and Dan are very approachable and have a little piece of heaven at Martha’s Cottage.

Amazing property with friendly neighbours.

Martha's Cottage has the friendliest neighbours I have ever met! Property in modern and cosy with wonderful views. Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could need for a short stay. No problem parking. Full instructions for everything you need such as washing machine & cooker. Wonderful walks nearby and Holmfirth is a quirky rural town just 5 mins in the car. Recommend a visit to The Pantry at The Fleece Inn at Holme for tasty pastries & Compo's in Holmfirth for Fish and Chips.

Lovely location

Wow absolute gorgeous location! The property overlooks a water reservoir and all these fields and hills and it's just beautiful. The property itself is really nice and to a high standard. It's very clean as well. You can tell there's been plenty of money invested in the place. It's all too a high standard. A comfy bed, lots of modern branded appliances and a nicely finished kitchen and bathroom. The property is actually three floors high with the top floor veing a loft conversion. The windows in the loft conversion are huge!! You get great views in bed of the sky at night and all the local countryside in the morning. It's great. I really don't know what else to say in recommending this cottage. As for negatives, I can't think of many. There's a path you drive round to get to where you park and it is a bit tight for room. I own a Honda CRV which is a big car. I managed it but it was a bit tight, especially in the dark where the path isn't that well lit either. I can't think of any other negatives to add tbh. Hopefully one day we'll go back to this place again. Oh and if you do visit, I highly recommend you go to the fleece inn pub which is just over half a mile away. The food is fantastic!

Short family break

We hadn’t appreciated what a gorgeous location this property was in. The view from the front of the cottage over the reservoir is gorgeous, and a first floor reading nook is so cosy and gives the feeling of being by the sea side! The property is really tastefully decorated, making it feel like a home from home. The check in process was really smooth and easy to understand. The weather during our visit was terrible but we would love to come back again with better weather to take advantage of all the local area has to offer. Would definitely recommend.
