"Lovely cosy cottage with everything we needed."
Lovely scenery and grounds for us to enjoy and some much appreciated welcome treats. Mrs Weldon made us very welcome and even gave us some helpful weather updates prior to our arrival. The snow was the icing on the cake. Great place to just relax in the peace and quiet or enjoy the many local walks and reservoirs . Locals also really friendly.
-
"A lovely, relaxing stay in a fabulous, well-located, cottage."
The views from both inside and outside were spectacular! It was refreshing, too, for our furry friend with a lovely area to exercise in. The nearby areas and towns were very enjoyable to visit, in particular Upperbank Reservoir and Holmfirth. Our only problem during our stay was Mother Nature treating us to cold, wet, weather which, obviously, was beyond the remit of our friendly, welcoming hosts. Absolutely Lovely!!
-
"Big problem with the holiday was that my wife put her back out and we went home early."
She needs to use a wheelchair now but it should only be for few weeks. This has nothing to do with the cottage. The cottage was great and so well equipped. As a keen gardener the grounds at Underbank Hall were as they say "to die for". I don't know how the owners keep it in such good condition. If you drive an eV there are a number of contactless eV chargers at the Fox valley centre in town.

"Lovely cottage very clean and comfortable."
Scones on arrival with tea making facilities very much appreciated. Excellent views from the cottage. Lots of local walks. One of the best cottages we have stayed in.
-
"This is a lovely comfortable cottage which was ideal to unwind in."
-
"We enjoyed our stay, the garden is amazing and beautiful."
Found the settee rather low difficult to get up from. Maybe as I am older person. Bed was very comfortable. The kitchen facilities were fine. Shower powerful very good. On arrival kindly given scones, jam, butter and milk to make tea. Which we enjoyed.
-
"We had a super week at Underbank cottage, it was clean, well equipped and had a comfy bed and a super shower."
It’s set in lovely gardens with views of trees/fields. Delia left wonderful homemade scones, jam, butter and milk. What a treat! She also went to great effort checking if local eateries could cater for my food allergy. It’s near to Holmfirth and the Peak District.
-
"Really nice cottage in lovely grounds."
It had everything we needed and was very comfortable.
-
"We really enjoyed our week at Underbank Hall Cottage."
The cost cottage had everything we needed and was set within lovely gardens maintained by the owners. With an outstanding view over the valley and beyond from the cottage windows. We found plenty to do in the surrounding area during our stay, and there were very helpful little maps supplied within the cottage for some nearby walks with our dog. Thank you for the scones and jam upon our arrival!!!
-
"Thank the owners for welcoming us to their property."
It was absolutely perfect for us and our dog. The area is a delight and we thoroughly enjoyed getting out and seeing the sights.
-
"My wife Jenny, and I have had a really lovely week away at this cottage with our dogs."
We surely look forward, to returning , hopefully in the near future especially in the May to August months. Our host was very lovely, and provided us with some tasty treats when we arrived.
-
"The cottage is in a beautiful setting, the owner working hard to maintain them the grounds."
The cottage itself is small but has everything you need. The bed is super comfortable and there is a great soaker bath to ease those aching limbs on returning from a day out. Our only niggle was, being tall, the living room chairs were not that comfortable for us. Didn’t spoil our week though. Thank you to our hosts for their hard work.mm
-
"We had a wonderful time at your lovely, cosy, comfortable cottage."
Everything was provided and we wanted for nothing whilst there. The cottage is warm and a great place to spend time. The views are stunning and the grounds, beautiful. The scones and jam on arrival were a really nice touch also. Thank you for having us!
-
"The cottage was immaculately clean and welcoming, warm with lovely scones and jam awaiting us and lots of added extras included."
The location was great as a base for exploring the facilities in nearby villages, and it’s great that the property is dog friendly too.
-
"This was exactly as I hoped it would be, we had a lovely view from the cottage with the famous reservoir in the distance."
Everywhere was spotless with all amenities inside. It was ideal for my pet dogs needs also. The bedroom and bathroom were superb, with a shower cubicle that as second to none. I must mention the home made scones with jam that greeted us inside the cottage on our arrival, they were delicious. 10/10.
-
"This was our second stay at Underbank Hall Cottage and it was as delightful as our first, which was the same week last year in 2023."
We were welcomed by Mrs Weldon, the owner, and then when we went into the cottage there was a welcome tray of home made scones, jam, butter and milk and also a posy on the table with seasonal flowers from their beautiful gardens. The property itself was of the highest standard, with everything in place for another lovely stay. The only disappointing thing about our stay was we had missed the deer in their garden ! This holiday cottage is a 5***** holiday experience and we can't wait to go back. Thank you. Carole and Phil, January 2024. (Washington, Tyne & Wear, UK)

"It was a great place to stay for a relaxing time"
-
"This is an absolutely lovely cottage, from the moment we walked in to the moment we left we were completely chilled."
We booked it to be away from the manic fireworks in Nottingham as our dog hates them so much and yes we could hear them in the cottage but they were a mile away and he wasn't too bothered. The gardens of the main house are massive and we could tell that they would be truly lovely in the summer. The scones and jam were a nice touch as were the 2 big towels each in the bathroom, the bed is comfy and the cottage nice and warm, looking at booking again in the warmer weather.
-
"The property was comfortable and well maintained, with gorgeous views and pretty gardens."
The only thing missing for us was an enclosed garden, so the dog could wonder freely off the lead.
-
"Lovely place to stay, fantastic view, beautiful garden and a very welcoming couple."
Thank you.
-
"A real home from home."
Everything you could need catered for. Fantastic views and very friendly hosts . Anyone heading to this area would struggle to find a better place.
-
"Had a great relaxing time with great views and friendly owners."
-
"Made to feel really welcome."
Lovely clean and well equipped cottage. Great base for Peak District and South Yorkshire. Only thing to note is garden isn’t fully enclosed as on website (easy access into owners garden) but absolutely fine with dog on lead. Hoping to go back
-
"Lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings, and everything provided to make our stay one of the best."
Thank you
-
"Wonderful cottage with great views and amazing gardens."
On arrival there were home made scones and jam, milk and tea/coffee as well as the place being warm and cosy. The owners were very friendly and helpful, particularly enjoying chats with David about the garden. Enjoyed some excellent walks both nearby and within easy driving distance. Even the weather was kind, all in all a lovely relaxing week.
-
"A beautiful period character cottage with stunning views."
Originally the housekeepers cottage for Underbank Hall, it has been converted into a very cozy holiday let. Very quiet and surrounded by attractive landscaped gardens it is a real gem. Well equipped with ample cutlery and crockery to enable the use of the dishwasher (not always the case in one bedroomed properties!) and well placed for walking and visiting nearby attractions (we went to Cannon Hall Farm and Nostell (NT). Stocksbridge has a good range of shops and a large retail park. Easy to get to from the M1. Very pleasant owners and lovely scones to greet you arrival!
-
"We had a lovely stay at underbank Hall cottage Beautifully clean with all the home comforts."
Very peaceful and easy to get out and explore the Peak district and beyond. Would definitely recommend and would love to return in the future.
-
"Really enjoyed our stay in this charming, cosy and very quiet cottage."
There was a lot of snow but host had been in touch the day before and on the morning before we left home to keep us updated on the conditions for which we were most grateful. The host was on hand if needed but not intrusive. The delicious scones and jam were most welcome and thoroughly enjoyed, thank you. Spotlessly clean throughout.Large bedroom with a very comfortable bed. Bathroom has lovely bath and separate shower. Kitchen really well equipped with everything you would need. The views across the valley are beautiful especially blanketed in snow. Thank you for a lovely stay.
-
"We had a delightful stay at Underbank Hall Cottage."
We were welcomed by homemade scones, jam and butter with milk in the fridge. A lovely selection of teas, coffee and hot chocolate. Also a lovely posy of freshly cut flowers from the vast gardens surrounding this beautiful cottage. The cottage itself was of a high standard and the rooms were much bigger than the photos made them look. Everything was catered for and lovely and clean. The bed was amazingly comfortable with lovely crisp linen to fall into. The towels were also of a high standard and ranged from face flannels right up to bath sheets and were on a heated rack in the bathroom itself. The surrounding areas were easily to access by car or foot whichever took your fancy. We highly recommend this property and the owner Mrs Weldon was so helpful whilst not in your face at all. A delightful relaxing stay and we can't wait to go back again. Thank you so much. Phil and Carole (Washington, Tyne and Wear, UK). 5***** experience

"Perfect place for our stay over the Christmas period."
Cannot recommend enough. It is actually more spacious than the photos show - There was plenty of space for my wife and I and our Labrador with easy access to beautiful local walking routes and the surrounding areas. Everything is well thought out and very well equipped. We will hopefully be using Underbank Hall Cottage again for our next trip up to Yorkshire to see family and friends.
-
"Underbank Hall Cottage was absolutely perfect."
There were lots of little extras to make you feel welcome: scones with butter & home made jam, milk in the fridge, a selection of teas, coffees & hot chocolate. Also shower gel & bubble bath. The cottage was very comfortable and warm, in short everything we needed, many thanks.
-
"Lovely peaceful cottage, well-equipped, spotlessly clean."
-
"Lovely place to stay."
Convenient for Penistone and Stocksbridge. Lane was quite busy but the entrance was fine. House was lovely, good view and nice garden. Inside it had everything you could want, including washing machine, dishwasher, microwave. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom good. (Full size bath sheets provided). All in all a great place to stay. Would recommend it and would stay there again.
-
"Ideal location for our first visit touring both the Peak District and Yorkshire Dales."
Langsett reservoir is close by; Wentworth, Chatsworth & Longshaw & the Yorkshire sculpture park are all a reasonable drive away. The cottage had everything we needed; as others have mentioned the bed was very comfortable. The enclosed garden is quite small, but that was ideal for our dog, especially as we were able to walk her in David & Delia's garden & by crossing the road walk a mile & a half up the lane, with little traffic, great views & surrounded by fields with grazing sheep & cows. Happy to recommend.
-
"The cottage is absolutely charming and the owners have made it comfortable and as welcoming as possible, we wish we could have stayed longer but due to completely unforeseen family circumstances we had to cut our stay short , but hope that we can return at some point in the future."
-
"Great place to say."
Quiet area close to shops. Cosy and comfortable cottage, beautiful gardens and views. We arrived to a plate of scones and homemade strawberry jam and freshly picked strawberry’s from the walled vegetable and fruit garden. We needed to drive to walk the dog as no footpath on road. However, Penistone is a 10 minute drive away and is a lovely town. There’s a huge park at the back of Tesco’s which is great for dogs and a lovely walk along the old railway line. Would definitely recommend Underbank Cottage. Thank you Mr and Mrs Weldon for a great stay.
-
"Great place to stay in lovely settings and garden !"
!! Would definitely stay again !!
-
"Outstanding location and very comfortable to stay."
Perfect for us in every way.

This is our 2nd visit it is very comfortable and as everything you need for a great stay in a great location for exploring the peaks Disrtict and the trans pennie trail The owners are welcoming and helpful we will be booking again
-
"Underbank Cottage is such a happy place for us, back for the 4th time."
Everything is just how we would like it and as good now as it was 9 years ago on our first visit, very comfy bed! It was a lovely day when we arrived and we sat and ate the delicious homemade scones and jam outside in the sunshine, great start to our holiday. I would like to say that following a previous reviewer commenting on the bright light outside the bedroom window, the owners have put a shield up which is extremely effective.
-
"Delia was the perfect host, the cottage had everything you could possibly need, was super clean and cozy, and had beautiful views out of the garden."
Would recommend to anyone in the area!
-
"The cottage is very well equipped, the facilities are of a high quality and we felt very warm and comfortable."
The views from the property are incredibly beautiful. Appreciated the scones on arrival.
-
"The cottage has been thoughtfully modernised to provide all the facilities to be expected from a quality holiday accommodation The owners Delia and David were very warm and welcoming and made sure that our stay was as enjoyable as possible."
The welcome tray of homemade scones, butter and jam with fresh milk and tea was especially welcome!
-
"This is a lovely cosy cottage with beautiful views in a peaceful location."
The cottage is spotlessly clean and well equipped. The owners are very helpful. When we stayed there was deep snow. They cleared the drive each day for us. We were greeted with scones and jam. Definitely a great place to stay.
-
"Great time perfect cottage and location brilliant for walking with our dogs -owners really helpful just perfect"
-
"A lovely place to stay."
-
"Very comfortable cottage in a lovely setting."
-
"Comfortable cottage in a good location."
Peaceful setting with easy access to West Yorkshire and the Peak District.
-
"We feel the cottage was lovely but they need to update the leaflets for the area including eateries as many are very out of date."
We also felt that the outside light that stayed on till late was very annoying and distracting when we went to bed as it lit up the whole room even with the curtains pulled.
-
"The hosts were friendly and helpful and we really enjoyed our stay."
Just far enough out of the way and very quiet in the evening, but close enough to get into the peaks and travel to the usual hotspots during the day.
-
"What a gorgeous property!"
We are 'veterans' of the cosy 1 bedroom selfcatering cottage and can say from experience that this one is brilliant. Most 'cosy' cottages are actually cramped... but this one manages to be both spacious AND cosy at the same time. Great location for being in the country and yet close to amenities (Coop, Lidl, fish & chip shop etc) and LOADS of good walks just a short drive away (we circumnavigated 5 lochs during our stay).
-
"Well equipped, every think we could possibly need and loved the extra touch of scones, butter, jam and milk for our tea!"
-
"Beautiful cottage, lovely location."
-
"Owner was very friendly and helpful, lovely welcoming pack on arrival, beautiful location, beautiful cottage."
Very relaxing enjoyable stay.
-
"The cottage itself worked well for us and we particularly enjoyed the views and the amazing gardens that surround the Hall."
As well as lots of reservoirs to explore ( Langsett is very fine) there are some lovely walks close by. Very friendly and kind owners.
-
"Very comfortable cottage, it had everything we needed whilst visiting relatives in the area."
The surrounding gardens are stunning
-
"The situation of the property was ideal for us being close to facilities but in a peaceful spot with many walks easily accessed."
-
"I am making it clear I am reviewing Underbank Hall Cottage not the company Sykes."
The feedback form seems geared to Sykes not the efforts of the cottage owner? I didn't appreciate being emailed on the morning before we left (only there for a long weekend) about packing up ... The external photo of the cottage does not do it justice. It is an absolute gem of a cottage and location. The driveway and surrounding gardens are beautiful and the cottage decorated and equipped to a high standard and so comfortable. Everything worked so simply. No ridiculous instructions for the TV and shower etc. We hope to return to see the gardens in better weather.
-
"Underbank Hall was a wonderful experience."
The owners were so friendly and welcoming and helpful. In these Covid19 times I couldn’t have felt safer staying there. I grew up in Stocksbridge and passed the driveway thousands of times: it was such a joy to see the Hall, stay in the Housekeepers cottage and enjoy the views and the gardens.
-
"Having stayed here for a week followed by another cottage in Wales I can compare the two."
Although the 2nd one was a little more expensive this was due its location and general appearance. Also provided were some basis such as salt and a few tea bags and coffee. Also a welcome pack of wine,cake and crisps. Two books were also provided for holiday comments and any improvements. These were of only a small cost but made a massive difference to our holiday and could easily be implemented here
-
"The hosts were just lovely, the cottage was amazing."
Great location and relatively easy to find. Cleaning was to the highest standard, bed was comfy as a cloud. Bath and shower were excellent with great water pressure, the kitchen amenities were well stocked and it was like a home from home. Would definitely recommend and would love to visit again sometime.
-
"Quiet relaxation."
Lovely setting. Friendly people and fantastic gardens. Couldn't have asked for more.
-
"Lovely cottage and setting just as described the owners were so friendly and ..."
Lovely cottage and setting just as described the owners were so friendly and helpful the gardens were beautiful and so nice to explore would highly recommend for a peaceful break
-
"Lovely cottage very comfortable, would highly recommend, will visit again"
-
"This is our forth visit to Underbank and I don't think it will be our last."
The cottage has everything needed for making a comfortable holiday for two people and their dog. The views over Langsett Moor are stunning and far reaching, and during our visit we were privileged to see them clothed in a covering of frost on three mornings.
-
"The venue was stunning, so peaceful and relaxing."
-
"The photos dont do it justice."
Very cute cottage, amazing views, the owners gardens are delightful.
-
"We have an English Pointer dog, and access to several acres for him was absolutely the icing on the cake !"
-
"The cottage was warm and comfortable even in the snowy weather, we really needed the peace and quiet and it fit the bill perfectly."
There was some scones and homemade jam waiting for us and it felt like home from home.
-
"Everything about this cottage was wonderful, set in beautiful location with stunning views."
As soon as you arrive it has a very homely and relaxing feel. The cake and tea went down a treat after a 4 hour journey and we all settled in well. The bed was so comfortable and well needed after a day of exploring the peak. The little thoughtful details like having the lamps on (we arrived when dark) curtains closed, heating on a comfortable heat, the cake and tea and relaxing bubble bath to use there really set the holiday off from the beginning - so thank you very much! The ensuite bathroom is lovely and modern with a walk in shower and lovely big bath. It really was the perfect way to celebrate the husbands birthday and see in the new year. We can not wait to return to underbank hall cottage in the summer!
-
"This was our 3rd stay at the cottage, we feel so at home there, very relaxing, absolutely love it!"
I wish all self catering cottages gave as much as this does, so clean and tidy with lots of little extras which make the stay exceptional. The views and setting are gorgeous and we enjoyed beautiful autumn colour this time.
-
"Brilliant arrival, fresh scones and homemade jam also butter and milk."
Just the refreshing start to our stay and needed after the journey.
-
"Delightful dog-friendly cottage in a very convenient setting."
Perfect for our long weekend. We hope to come again.
-
"Lots of walking in the countryside."
Relaxing in the lovely gardens. Down side passing traffic noise
-
"Our second stay at this lovely cottage."
Still very well maintained and comfortable. Gardens are just lovely, really appreciated being able to pick some strawberries.
-
"Second visit to Underbank Hall Cottage, wont be the last, just as superb."
Fabulous views, peaceful, cosy cottage within reach of many places. Friendly helpful hosts, always on hand if there are any problems. Lovely welcome gift of homemade jam and scones.
-
"Underbank Hall Cottage is an idyllic retreat from the hurly burly of everyday life."
It is spotlessly clean, well-equipped and very spacious for two people with a large living area/kitchen and a huge bedroom with en suite facilities. The cottage garden is very well-stocked and well-maintained but its main advantage is that it looks out over the owners’ huge and beautifully-presented grounds and beyond to views of the local moors; simply stunning. We also found the location to be convenient for long walks and visits to National Trust properties nearby. For those who enjoy cinema, the Penistone Paragon is a must; it’s like taking a trip back to the 1950s and is well worth a visit, if only for the interval where you queue up for ice-cream (just like in the olden days)! We strongly recommend this property and would like to say a big ‘Thank You’ to Delia and David, the delightful owners whose discreet presence was reassuring but at no times intrusive.
-
"I only put MET expectations as I expect very high and that is what I got."
The cottage was in a beautiful location and was clean, cosy and calming. The gardens were magnificent and we met "the gardener" who turned out to be the owner. We spent a long time with him wandering around discussing the plants and flowers. The chickens were amazing with feathered crowns. The home-made scones were a delight and a welcome sight on arrival. We will be booking again, in a different season to see how things change as there was so much to see. Stocksbridge was a few minutes away and is well supported with shops and businesses although the fuel there is pricey. We found cheaper on our travels. The moors have little signposting so as to preserve the scenery, so a really good OS map is essential. There are some really beautiful villages to be discovered (and tearooms). There is a walk from the cottage which takes you down to the reservoir and as the walk is circular you end up back home.
-
"Third visit, comfortable cottage and really welcoming owners."
-
"The cottage was very good in every way and the owner very friendly and helpful."
The first two days were dominated by heavy snowfalls but the owner cleared a path so that I could get my car out of the drive. I enjoyed my week there and experienced many of the walks that the area provided.
-
"Lovely cottage, perfect for time away with the dog with ots of places to walk."
Very comfy bed, a big bath, a nice spacious cottage overall.
-
"Beautiful cottage in a stunning location."
It has everything you need for a wonderful holiday. If, like us, you need the Internet then, unfortunately, this is the cottage’s one failing. The WiFi advertised was only available very intermittently and, as we were house hunting and needing maps etc, it meant we spent an awful amount of time in the nearby Fox Valley centre using their internet. If, however, you are looking to get away from it all in total comfort, then this is the right place to do just that, and we can highly recommend it.
-
"Excellent property and location, the perfect bolt hole!"
Quiet, relaxing and has everything you need. Owners were lovely, and very helpful. Didn't want to leave, even tried to work out a date to return before we pulled out the gate.
-
"Excellent cottage, beautiful gardens, lovely hosts, ideal for travelling to Barnsley."
Couldnt ask for more, extremely happy :)
-
"We loved the little cottage it had everything we needed the only thing it struggles with is the internet we would definitely go back again I highly recommend this little place."
-
"We had a really lovely time."
The cottage was so cosy and welcoming, tea,scones and home made jam on arrival was a lovely personal touch. We felt very relaxed while we were there which is exactly want we wanted and lovely walks for us and our dogs.
-
"This was our third stay at Underbank Cottage."
Being very convenient for our visits to family and friends the beautiful surroundings are an added bonus to the comfortable accommodation.
-
"Tasteful, tranquil, great atmosphere and ambience of a period cottage."
Super location and general facilities. Obliging pleasant hosts. Hard to fault.
-
"Lovely cottage in a good location."
Would happily book it again.
