The Experience

A stunning spot, right on the edge of the Peaks. Charming owners Jim and Mary, who live here, have done a grand job converting four cottages, including your listed milking parlour. The sitting room is flooded with light, the feel is solid and homely, sofas are of the completely squishy variety, views are glorious, and games, books and DVDs keep everyone happy. 

The kitchen is filled with all you need for a leisurely supper round the farmhouse table, or a picnic by the barbecue hut outside. A biomass boiler gives you piping hot water, powerful showers and underfloor heating. A hot tub under the stars is shared and there’s a day spa to ease your limbs.

Upstairs you’ll find woollen blankets over feather duvets, deep set windows and more green views. There are stunning walks in any direction with footpaths starting from the door and a good pub just a couple of miles away.

Reviews

For a slice of peace and tranquility, look no further. The self-catering cottages here are beautifully fitted out and carefully maintained, and there's a genuine thought for the environment in the biomass boiler, which allows toasty underfloor heating and a constant supply of hot water. The spa is exquisite and a real surprise addition for what is otherwise a rural farm stay. Wonderful.

Brilliant Rowan Cottage. Definitely 5 star as it said by the door. Great location superb kitchen. Fabulous!


Emily, Bradford

Birch cottage had everything you could need for a self-catering trip and was so beautiful and comfortable! The location is stunning and the views are gorgeous from every window. The breakfast hamper was great, especially when we realised there was already milk in the fridge! We visited the spa twice and were so impressed - this was definitely one of the nicest we've been to in terms of facilities, cleanliness and atmosphere. We used the hot tub one evening which was clean and easy to operate, and very private despite being shared. Thank you so much for a perfect little break!


Simon, Naxxar Malta

A really well kept and organised property - the surrounding gardens are beautiful too. An amazing location for a family holiday - Thanks to Mary and Jim for making this holiday on to remember for us and the kids


Nicky, Sheffield

The cottage and the surrounding area were gorgeous. Clean, cosy and very spacious. It had everything we needed. The kitchen was very well stocked equipment wise so you could cook everything as you would at home. The spa was fantastic. It had fabulous facilities and friendly helpful staff. Our treatments were great and everything was well explained and we had lots of choice. Checking in and out were straightforward although booking and the confirmation emails got a bit confusing as automated emails came with slightly different information on but this was easily sorted.


Location

The neighbourhood

Penistone (reputedly the highest village in England) is the nearest village for shops and restaurants and ten minutes in the car. Here you'll also find a good farmers' market on Thursdays in a beautiful cruck barn. The Windmill Coffee Shop by the wind farm serves good home-cooked food and has a nursery for plants.
