"There was nothing we didn’t like about this cottage from the moment we arrived."
Directions and entry instructions were easy to follow, the views are fabulous and the cottage is very nicely and comfortably furnished. There’s plenty of cooking equipment which is great as there’s a fabulous farm shop nearby, a short drive or walkable. Although there’s an undercounter fridge with small freezer, there’s also access to a bigger freezer. Great for leftovers or things you might want to take home from the farm shop. The cottage does front onto a road that takes a fair bit of traffic. For us this didn’t matter as it was getting colder and we mostly had windows closed but this might have been more of an issue in summer if you wanted open windows, especially overnight. Lovely property though in a great location. Owner friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again. Highly Recommended.

"This is our second visit to Mirk Cottage and it was fantastic."
The cottage is spotlessly clean, we had everything we needed and the fire is just heaven on a cold night! The location is great and within easy distance of lots of varied activities. We can’t wait to come back in December!

"For anybody booking for 1 week great but having to pay double booking fee for 2 weeks find it excessive."
Having said that it is a nice cottage in a lovely Picturesque setting. Would stay again.

"We had a lovely stay at Mirk Cottage."
It was immaculate and beautifully decorated. Definitely one of the nicest we have stayed in. The owner was on hand for any concerns. Wish we could have stayed longer. Very close to local shops for groceries etc, pubs and restaurants were close by. Our favourite place was Hebdon Bridge, about 10 minutes away by car. The place to visit is Craggies Farm Shop and Cafe. Only 2 minutes away and serves lovely food, especially breakfast. The views from the bedroom windows are the best part. It is a beautiful area to visit with stunning scenery. Can't recommend this place enough.
-
"Lovely warm cosy cottage in a beautiful location, perfectly situated for exploring the local area on foot, bike or in the car."
Car parking off road was a welcome bonus. The interior was finished to a very high standard and very clean throughout. Communication prior to arrival was very helpful and information provided in the cottage was just right. The welcome basket was a nice touch - thank you.
-
"The cottage is stunning and the setting is perfect for a relaxing stay."
Spotless and extremely comfortable, the decor is to a high standard and beds comfortable. We would lie in bed in the mornings just gazing out of the windows across the moors and listening to the sheep. Perfectly situated for discovering the hidden gems of the Calder valley and we recommend Craggies for breakfast which is literally a 2 minute drive. Strong wifi signal which was good because I needed to work whilst there. Shower is powerful and no shortage of hot water. The smoke detector started beeping and Pete the owner was round in minutes to change the battery. Highly recommend Mirk cottage,

"A fantastic cottage in a fabulous location with wonderful hosts."
Looking forward to visiting again.
-
"Our second visit to Mirk cottage."
This stay was a good as our first if not better. The cottage was cleaned and equipped to a high standard with a nice welcome pack. The situation is ideal to tour around Calderdale with pubs and farm shop within easy reach. I am sure we will visit again in the future.
-

"A gem of a cottage."
Spotlessly clean, finished to a very hard standard and looked after.
-
"We had a lovely stay at the cottage."
We had everything we needed, beautifully decorated, spotless and cosy. The smart TV is a bonus after a long day! It’s close (by car) to some great pubs for eating and there’s lots to do in the surrounding area. We would love to come back.
-
"A superb place."
Everything fantastic. Had an amazing week. Will be back. Thank you.
-
"Another wonderful stay in Mirk Cottage, although sadly on my own this time as my husband died suddenly in August."
Everything was just perfect as always. The Cottage continues to be very comfortable, warm and well equipped, and ideally situated for our family to visit. I would highly recommend it and thank the owners for their kindness.

"Just perfect in every way."
-
"Lovely Cottage, well equipped , nicely furnished & spotlessly clean ."
Excellent parking, nice views of the moors from the front windows. Comfortable double bed in each of the two bedrooms. Would definitely stay here again. Never saw the hosts but got a message from them on day of arrival asking if everything was ok.
-
"Lovely location for exploring the area, lots of places to visit nearby."
Short drive to a number of lovely places to eat. Cottage beautiful and immaculately clean. Faultless. 10/10 would stay again.
-

-
"Beautiful well equipped cottage set in lovely surroundings great Wi-Fi and plenty of parking at the rear."
Plenty of pubs to visit and the farm shop round the corner was great. We would definitely return.
-
"We have stayed in the sister property Shep several times and Mirk is just as good."
Very well equipped kitchen (including foil, kitchen roll, dishwasher tablets, fairy liquid etc things which are so often not provided), lovely comfy sofas and beds, good shower, wifi - in fact all the ingredients needed for a great stay. This is an excellent and stylish holiday cottage. The cottage was spotless throughout. The view of the moors from the bedroom is fab and seeing the lambs in the field across the road was a lovely bonus.
-
"Absolutely incredible property, we had the most wonderful stay."
Very clean and really well presented. The owners had thought about everything you could possibly need from salt to kitchen roll and even washing pods for your laundry. The views were spectacular with the added bonus of seeing the sheep and lambs from bed. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was spotless. Thoroughly enjoyed our time here and will definitely be coming back. The only thing we were surprised by was that the property fronts onto a road which wasn’t clear in the listing. You could hear cars passing with the windows open but we soon got used to it. There is so much to do nearby, if you’re thinking of staying, we’d highly recommend. The owners were on hand via text and even let us know of events going on in the area.
-
"Mirk is a gem of a holiday cottage."
With everything you need for a relaxing, rural break. The cottage is beautifully designed and finished, with a real attention to detail. It is cosy, comfortable and contemporary. The host couldn’t have been more helpful. I’ll be back.
-
"Your cottage is a joy, warm and cosy."
The underfloor heating was very welcome in February and the woodburner was easy to light. Well equipped with no need to bring extras of anything. Ample parking was available and enjoyed the farm shop cafe just up the road..
-
"My stay in this beautiful cottage was excellent."
The location was stunning, the property was amazing. The owners were available anytime you had a question, but the great thing was they did not disturb you. They were contactable by phone and text, which gave you peace of mind and also the knowledge that they were there if you needed them. But they also did not disturb you, and left you in peace to enjoy your holiday. I cannot put into words, the beauty of the cottage, the commitment and dedication that was put in to ensure that you had every facility needed to enjoy your stay. The warmth, the character, the views and the facilities were just 100% perfect.
-
"Very nice place in a rural place."
Everything is perfect. Highly recommended.
-
"Gorgeous little cottage, lovely kitchen with everything you would need for a week."
Comfy beds, really nice shower room, everything was spotless and new. Too hot when we went to try the log burner, but I imagine it would be a lovely cosy little cottage in the winter.
-
"We had a super break - cottage interior & exterior are excellent quality, new, clean & with real attention to detail for guests."
It had everything we needed, comfy beds, super views, ample parking, excellent Robin Hood pub food nearby & lambs in the field!
-
"A really nice cottage."
Well equipped and comfortable with plenty of parking. Great for walking and cycling. Shame the local pub has closed, like so many.
-
"This little cottage was a very pleasant place to stay."
Everything was new and finished beautifully. Well equipped. Lovely comfortable beds. The view from the front bedroom window, onto the moors, was stunning. Definitely recommend to friends.
-
"Beautiful cottage Well equipped Had difficulty using the smart tv but that is ..."
Beautiful cottage Well equipped Had difficulty using the smart tv but that is mainly because we have Sky Q and didn’t want to try accessing the digital information Would highly recommend this cottage
-
"We booked this last minute, the cottage was absolutely beautiful."
Had absolutely everything you could possibly need. It was super spacious and in a beautiful remote area. The cottage was so clean too. We went for a walk near by and a pub lunch at the Old Gate in Hebden bridge which was lovely too! Overall the stay was perfect and we will definitely be back!
-
"We loved the cottage, it felt very homely but also modern."
Great comfortable beds. Underfloor heating downstairs was lovely and lovely soft carpets upstairs. There was a Christmas tree in which was a lovely touch thank you! We had snow but there was grit for the drive which we only noticed once it had melted. Overall, a great cottage and i would highly recommend
-

The cottage has been completely renovated and Furnished to a very high standard, and so clean and comfortable that we didn’t want to leave. We even tried to extend our stay. Would we visit again, most definitely. Would we recommend booking this cottage to other people…..YES most definitely The owners are very friendly and helpful. Look forward to a return visit Eileen & Steve

"We had a lovely stay in this cottage."
The owner seemed to have thought of everything down to a pint of milk in the fridge! The beds were very comfortable and the cottage was lovely and warm. I would definitely recommend a stay here.
-
"A beautiful cottage in a stunning location."
The cottage was spotless on arrival and decorated to a very high standard, we were very impressed. We had everything we needed and were very well informed of everything before and during our stay. The shower was amazing, beds were comfy and good storage for all your belongings. The wood burner is a fantastic touch too. Very cosy and very homely when you get back from a days adventure. Hebden Bridge is a must as its a beautiful little town to walk round, lots of little cafes and bars and a lovely market, a playground for the children and a nice walk by the canal. We ate at the White House one evening and it was a fantastic meal so would highly recommend! Blackpool was only just over an hour away and Leeds was nice for shopping. We would highly recommend this cottage, the only thing I would say is, and it's just personal preference, is that we have 2 boys and they had to share a double bed and it's a shame that either 2 singles or a bunk bed weren't available. This certainly did not interfere but would have just been slightly better for us as a family and we were fully aware of this at the time of booking. We would love to go back to Mount Pleasant at some point and have certainly marked it as one of our favourites!! We have no doubt that this will be a five star property on trip advisor when word gets out!!
-
"5 star comfort in a stunning location!"
-
"The cottage is beautiful and clean."
It is evidently brand new and that’s what we liked. It had all the essentials and all information provided was very clear. We met the owner Pete and he was very genuine and friendly. It is a great base to go off and visit local areas. We really enjoyed our stay.(2 adults and a 6 week old baby)
-
"The cottage was in pristine condition."
Beautiful decor throughout too. The facilities provided were excellent including the welcome tray on arrival, that was a lovely touch! Lovely setting overlooking lots of fields and sheep! We would definitely recommend this cottage.
-
"Very well presented high finished holiday cottage you will not be disappointed really enjoyed our stay and a great location for walks."
-
"Beautifully renovated and well equipped cottage in stunning scenery."
We have booked for another week later in the year.
-
"Absolutely first class accommodation."
Spotlessly clean, fully kitted out with everything you could need, generous welcome pack, great location, comfy beds, beautiful views, friendly owners. Just a one mile walk to Craggies farm shop and cafe. Lots to do in the area and lots of lambs in the field right opposite when we stayed there. It is right on the road, so if road noise would put you off, please reconsider booking this house. It didn't bother us at all, but we were aware of it, and in summer with windows open, it could be an issue for some. Thank you for a perfect relaxing break.

"We had a great week away at Mirk Cottage."
It’s in a lovely location, with great views over the moors. The cottage is modern and really well equipped. The wood burner is a lovely touch too and a log fire in the evening is a great way to finish off a day exploring Yorkshire. Would highly recommend.

On the other side of the valley is the village of Luddenden and the glorious oak woodlands that make up Jerusalem Farm, a local nature reserve made famous by TV's In Loving Memory. In fact, this beautiful area has also featured in TV shows Happy Valley and Last Tango in Halifax.
