  Generous welcome pack. Friendly hosts. Excellent base for walking, and that pull up from the valley gets easier with repetition!

  Beautiful location and the icing on the cake was being able to have a horse riding lesson while there. They have the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in too! Would definitely return!

• "Stables cottage is really well-appointed and well maintained property."

  Whilst holding on to and making the most of its traditional features it has been renovated to a high standard and had everything we needed and more in a holiday home. The location was stunning - surrounded by beautiful countryside and yet a stone’s throw from the centre of Todmorden. The property is on an equestrian centre which meant seeing some gorgeous horses on the way in but other than the odd neigh the cottage was completely peaceful. The owners were very friendly and helpful and always stopped for a chat if we saw them and offered tips on places to visit which was great. There was a downhill walk of about 10 mins out of the back of the property down into the town. The views from the top of the hill over Todmorden were lovely. The walk back up was steep but more than manageable for 2 middle aged, not particularly fit people. The town itself had plenty of parking so if you have accessibility needs or young children then it’s a 5 min drive. The town itself was gorgeous. Less well known than its sister town of Hebden Bridge but equally as gorgeous and less touristy. There were several pubs and eateries - our favourite being Honest John’s Bar and Cafe (a cafe and Greek restaurant serving a fabulous array of cocktails). There are also 3 supermarkets in the town so getting provisions is no issue at all. There is a flat walk along the canal to Hebden Bridge (approx 4 miles) which is worth doing. The train station is well served with regular trains to both Leeds and Manchester. We had a wonderful and relaxing time and hope to visit again!

• "A lovely cottage in a very peaceful, secluded location."

  Only horses and sheep for company but within easy reach of Todmorden and Hebden Bridge. Very comfortable place, everyone gets their own bathroom and extremely comfy beds. The hosts are lovely, helpful and always on hand if you need anything.

• "This was our second stay at Stables Cottage, so obviously we like it!"

  In over forty years of self-catering holidays it's one of the best properties we have encountered. This time we invited relatives to join us. So we were four active adults, and the cottage still felt spacious and uncluttered - it's a veritable Tardis. Where do we start? The cottage was immaculately clean, quiet and very comfortable. The setting is idyllic. It's very well equipped, with comfy beds, thick fluffy towels, big leather sofas, brilliant showers, good quality, easy to use appliances, a lovely garden to sit out with a drink of an evening, and an amazing welcome pack. Not just the usual basic groceries but cake, scones, classy biscuits, chocs, a huge bowl of fruit. Stables Cottage is perfect for our needs; we are already looking at dates for next year.

• "Simply the best."

  Large entrance room with plenty of space with large table for dining. Spacious and comfy lounge with open plan kitchen and breakfast bar.. Kitchen has everything you need and more and was spotless. Everything in the kitchen was in good order and was also spotless. This is the first time we did not have to clean anything before use in any cottage we have ever stayed at. Every bath room. toilet, shower and the bath again in first class condition and again spotless. We have stayed at over 35 cottages around the UK and this is by far the best we have ever been too. Its a credit to the owners and its a shame other owners do not take the same pride as these do. We thank you for a great stay David and Linda from St Helens.

  Thank you David and Linda Property Owner

• "A comfortable, relaxing week in a cottage full of character."

  Very well equipped with many extras provided. Taller people need to take care as some ceilings and doors are low. Andy took time to check that we wanted for nothing and came up with a new toaster immediately when the old one failed. Small bedside clocks would have been useful. Overall an excellent cottage , reasonably priced.

• "We had a brilliant holiday at Stables Cottage."

  A warm generous welcome from Andy and Chris including Easter goodies and basics. Loved seeing the horses in the next door stables. The cottage was immaculate, very warm cosy and comfortable for the 5 of us gathered from North and South. Everything you might need was provided including great Wi-Fi, Wood burner and en suites to every bedroom which was luxurious. We enjoyed walking straight up onto the moors from the cottage and the short stroll to the Shepherds Rest pub where we had a delicious Easter Sunday Lunch. Other highlights were visits to Hebden Bridge independent shops, Heptonstall for Sylvia Plath’s Grave, cobbled streets and the Cross Inn Pub. Great walks in wild weather to the Bride Stones and Hard Castle Crags. The covered, market at Todmorden had great range of food stalls with 2 proper old fashioned butchers fare including fabulous steamed meat puddings and pork pies. We’d love to go again sometime.

  The owners, Chris and Andy were very attentive and on hand if we needed them. The welcome package of treats and the provision of toiletries were superb and the property warm and very comfortable. It was spaciouus and suited our three generational group very well. We loved the rural location and enjoyed exploring the area, in particular Hebdon Bridge, Hardcastle Crags and the Piece Hall in Halifax.

• "Listing states kitchen with utility - not sure where it is?"

  Also gives the impression the cottage has views but there are none other than the hedge and another property. The living room isn’t warm enough without having the wood burner going all the time. Took 4 hours + for the heating to warm from 18 to 22 but still felt very chilly. Oven switches very greasy and all in all the whole property could do with a good deep clean. The radiator in the main bedroom is either off or on. Very disappointed as if the weather not good like to relax but could not do this comfortably here

• "A clean and spacious cottage in the countryside and approx 10 minutes walk to the shops of Todmordon, but a very steep walk on the return journey."

  The cottage is one of the best equipped we have stayed in and the first to provide an air fryer. The roads to the cottage can be narrow and steep in places with some extremely tight turns so best to arrive in daylight.

• "The property is one we felt at home in straight away which counts for a lot in our book."

  It had everything we would need, and any concerns we had were quickly answered by the friendly owner who handily lives next door. We have yet to find the cottage that for us is perfect in every way, but this one is definitely high up on our list. We also loved the location. It is quiet and out of the way yet close enough to the town and its many transport options. The riding tuition was also excellent. Rambo (the horse), the facilities, and tutors were everything we had hoped they would be. All in all, the holiday was a very happy experience which we knew we wanted to repeat even before we had left. We look forward to seeing you again, Andy & Chris!

• "An excellent week from start to finish!"

  Everything went very smoothly, which is always a relief after a long drive.  We found the Equestrian Centre easily, the staff immediately contacted Andy, who met us at the cottage (just round the corner) and showed us round.  He was very helpful and informative - indeed everyone we met, stables staff, neighbours, Thomas the rescue cat, made us very welcome. The cottage is beautiful, and much more spacious than we expected.  It was spotlessly clean,  cosy, comfortable, quiet and extremely well furnished and equipped.  There were lots of thoughtful extras - a dish of sweets, vases of flowers, a huge bowl of fruit, as well as useful provisions and toiletries. We became very fond of Todmorden, which is quietly, solidly alternative.  Lots of interesting independent shops and a good market.  The walk along the canal is delightfully varied.

  The cottage itself is well equipped with everything you could need, and with one of the best equipped kitchens I’ve seen in a rental. The house is comfortable, cosy and clean with lots of space. The cottage itself is set in a beautiful area, only a short walk into the town and with lots to do in the area. Everything was well thought out with plenty of added extras, from the make up removing flannels to the welcome basket with cake, biscuits, tea and coffee, we felt extremely lucky. Our hosts were perfect, friendly and welcoming and I can’t thank them enough. I highly recommend the Stables Cottage, it was the perfect place to see in the new year and I would love to stay again.

  But it was true!! The location is quiet, its next to a busy equestrian centre but you wouldn't know it was there.

  So many walks to do within a very short distance of the cottage - or even directly from the cottage. We can't wait to return. One word of warning. DO NOT RELY UPON YOUR SATNAV. We ended up driving up a washed out, very potholed road. The best route is to take the road towards Rochdale as far as Walsden and then follow the sign-posted directions to the Shepherd's Rest Inn. Do this and your holiday will get off to a good start.
