Up-Top Cottage

• "I knew there was no garden before I arrived however with the exceptional high temps we had it would have been nice after returning from a long walk to relax with a cool drink in your own garden."

  The road noise from the front is intense but if you close the windows to the front it does mask out the droan. Minor issues but we had a great week. We never moved our car, plenty of long hard walks on the doorstep as well as easy walks for the less abled. Very good bus service locally. £3 day pass on & off as many times as you like. Flat was spotless, plenty of equipment inside. Loved the big TV and netflix. A very very well thought out re make of accommodation utilising every bit of space.

  Thank you for your feedback, it certainly was exceptionally hot during your stay! We too would have liked a garden to relax in but unfortunately we don’t have one either! Lots of the cottages in the Holme Valley don’t but as you say the website clearly states there is no outside space or garden. Just unfortunate timing for yourselves. The road outside can be busy during the day but we find most guests never open the front window just the ones on the back so they can listen to the soothing sound of the river and birdsong and the ducks! But so glad you enjoyed some of our amazing walks from the doorstep which you said you were looking forward to and found our accommodation very comfortable otherwise and had a great week. Good to hear. Thanks so much Amanda Property Owner

• "A lovely property, right in the centre of town."

  Up-top cottage really is lovely, very comfortable, well maintained and spotlessly clean. Furnishings all top quality and everything you can think of, plus more, is provided. Communication with the owner was fantastic and we had a perfect few days break.

  Thank you so much so glad you had a great visit and stay with us Property Owner

• "A quirky, comfortable stay at Up Top."

  A lot of thought had been given by the owner as to the needs of her guests from hooks for coats at the top of the landing, provision of Netflix, plenty of storage, cleaning materials provided, to treats for cosy nights in. Lovely view of the river and fields from the lounge area. Lots of walking from the door plus pubs and restaurants. Only downsides for some may be lack of parking directly outside the property and narrow staircase to the low beamed bedroom. Details of these are made clear on the website so no complaints from us. Recommended.

• "Lovely property with everything you could need for a fantastic stay."

  The location is right in the centre of Holmfirm with plenty of bars and restaurants in close walking distance. There is an abundance on walks on your doorstep so we didn't need to move the car once during our stay. I would highly recommend the accommodation which although on a busy road is nice and peaceful inside listening to the river below and looking over fields to the rear. This was our second time visiting the apartment and will definitely be back later on this year.

  Thanks so much for the great review, appreciate it. We look forward to seeing you again for a 3rd visit! ☺️ Property Owner

  One step outside and you are amongst the warmest welcome from the locals, where an abundance of shops and eateries await exploration. We will be back x

• "We had a lovely time at this brilliant property."

  It was so well-appointed and in a perfect location to explore the beautiful area. The property was very clean and well maintained with great attention to detail and included everything needed for a very comfortable stay. We thought parking might be a problem but we found it easy to find a nearby free space on the road opposite. We have no hesitation in recommending this property.

  Thank you so much, that’s fabulous to hear, thank you for the lovely recommendation. Property Owner

  Close to village and all it's amenities, full of character, with all modern facilities, bed comfortable, sofa lovely, all cooking facilities, cleaning facilities you'll need, welcoming pack a treat. No parking outside, but not a problem on wood head road, where car was safe and just a short walk away. Right next to the river Holme that you can hear when you open the window. Well equipped,well presented and perfect break to explore holmfirth, Yorkshire moors/reservoirs ,local vineyard, and a must of a tour,down T pit up at Wakefield's national coal mining museum. Loved it

• "This is one of the best apartments I've stayed in."

  It's attractive, warm, and everything has been thought of—a welcome pack and milk in the fridge, lights & sockets all in the right place, kitchen space to store food (so often lacking). It's well placed for town and local walks. I would (and probably will) book again.

• "Had a lovely stay at Up-Top cottage."

  It has everything you need and is super clean. Even the TV had a free Netflix account, not that we watched much. Lots of useful information left by the owner and a lovely welcome pack. Some lovely pubs, cafes and restaurants just a few minutes walk. We didn’t want to leave had such a nice time. Parking up the hill was not a problem, but yes it’s a very busy junction outside the cottage so you do get a bit of road noise. But don’t let that bother you as you will miss out on this gem.

  Thanks so much, so pleased you had a great experience, that’s what we aim for! Lovely to know our efforts are enjoyed so much Property Owner

• "What a fantastic property!"

  Very well and tastefully appointed - everything you can think of and may need can easily be found and is in an excellent working order. The property looks brand new being the result of good quality fit out, furniture, appliances, layout, all well thought out and maintained. Easy access to the village and surrounds with lots of close by street parking. The owners are easily reachable if necessary and very accommodating. We had a great week break and are considering returning in the near future if it is available to rent at that time. Thank you very much! Jan and Eloise

  Thanks so much, very much appreciated, hope to see you return again soon Property Owner

• "Have been thinking about this."

  Yes the parking can be problematic and you can hear the traffic on the front, BUT, you you are perfectly placed slap bang in the middle of town. Yes the bedroom beams are challenging and the downstairs loo in the night not ideal BUT, the bedroom is magical with the comfiest bed and the shower room is modern perfection. The crux of the matter is, this is a stunning apartment, stylishly and imaginatively modernised, quality through and through. You could not ask for more and we were overwhelmed and delighted to the extent that we have booked for three weeks next year. Thank you Amanda ! Anne and Mel (January 2023)

  Thanks so much, what an honest and informative review, and lovely too! See you in December! Property Owner

• "A warm comfortable apartment right in the centre of Holmfirth."

  The kitchen is extremely well equipped and there is ample heating and hot water. We visited out of season in late November/ early December and the traffic was still very busy and noisy when any windows were open. It is on double yellow lines and parking was a fair distance away up a hill, not a problem for us as we had gone there to do some walking. As a couple of a certain age who enjoy a pint or two, the night time visits to the loo were a minor inconvenience, but the automatic nightlight on the spiral staircase is a lifesaver. All in all a beautifully equipped, convenient and comfortable place to stay.

• "We've been using Airbnb for the past few years but ended up trying Sykes Cottages as we'd left things a bit too late for Airbnb."

  This property has made us try Sykes Cottages first. It was brilliant. I've always had excellent Airbnbs but this property had thought of everything. We were really impressed with the kitchen. Usually I feel that kitchens have been furnished with second hand crockery, bottle openers that don't work and pans that are battered. Everything here looked like it had been bought especially for the apartment. We even took our own kitchen knife this time but didn't need it at all as there was an excellent selection of knives. The bathroom was brilliant and shower great. The living room was very comfortable and cosy and I liked the dining area. The bedroom was also great and thoughtful touches with the lighting and soft furnishings. Liked the light on the stair for finding your way to the bathroom in the middle of the night. The welcome basket was the most generous I've ever had and kept us going in snacks for the week. We were also impressed by the very thorough and nicely presented information folder. It was very useful. Liked the cunning ways of storing thing such as the ironing board and the boot/shoe shelf over the doorway was very handy. The property is really well located especially for the three restaurants right across the road and for the numerous pubs and bars really close by. If you are into walking there are lots of local walks, book in the drawer which has been marked up with walks that are possible straight from your front door. Amanda was doing some renovation of the troughs outside the front one day and we were impressed to notice that she had changed the inspirational quote on the chalk board in the hallway. A very good place to stay!

  Oh my, thank you so much, what an amazing, informative, helpful review. You are very kind, so useful for future guests too. Thanks Amanda. Property Owner

  The location was right in the centre of town. Car parking wasn't a problem as we parked on the road suggested which had lots of spaces. Lovely hamper of goodies waiting for us. A lot of care and attention had been put into the furnishing and little touches. One of the best cottages we have ever stayed in.

  Thanks so much, that means a lot, so glad you enjoyed it, makes it all worthwhile Amanda Property Owner

• "A fabulous cottage based right in the heart of Holmfirth."

  This was our first visit to the area, and we will definitely be back! The cottage has just recently been refurbished to a high standard. Comfy sofa and bed, fully equipped kitchen and a large roomy shower all added to a very comfortable stay. The location is great, with access to the abundance of cafes, restaurants and bars Holmfirth has to offer. Plenty of walks and cycle routes available from the doorstep, or a short drive will give you access to the peak district and many of the reservoirs surrounding the area. We would 100% return to the area and this cottage!

  Thanks so much Nicola for a lovely first review, very much appreciated and very helpful for potential future guests. All the best Amanda x Property Owner
