"Comfortable & Welcoming!"
The cottage has everything you could need, clean & very comfortable. We had a fantastic few days away and took advantage of the many local walks. The Fleece Inn & Fleece pantry in the village is excellent too.
-
"Perfect cottage in a perfect spot."
Not our first visit and definitely not our last. Lovely helpful owner close by in the unlikely event of a problem.
-
"A home from home."
Welcome pack unexpected but very much appreciated. Everything you could possibly need to run a home. Beautifully decorated, comfortable, spacious and quite luxurious. Though we did not have a pet, they would have clearly been catered for as well. We would definitely visit again and highly recommend it as a place to stay.
Thank you very much for your kind words. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"This is a lovely comfortable cottage which is well equipped and the decoration is light and airy."
The beds are comfortable and the bedding of good quality. We stay in self catering cottages regularly, and know the owner has put thought into the needs of those staying. It is in a lovely area with great walks from the doorstep.
Thank you so much for your feedback. It was lovely to meet you. Hope to see you again xx Property Owner

"Fleece cottage is beautiful."
It provides everything you may need for your stay. We stayed for a month and was very happy with everything and the Fleece pub is very handy at the end of the road serving beautiful meals, all the staff are very friendly and helpful. We will recommend to everyone.
Hi Tony, We were delighted to meet you & your lovely family & friends. Thank you for the positive review. Look forward to seeing you again. best wishes & safe journey home xx Regards Shirley Property Owner

"Enjoyed our 2nd stay at Fleece cottage and already looking forward to our 3rd."
Now done summer and winter at Holme. Both equally relaxing. The cottage is warm and cosy with every item on hand to have a "get away from in all" break without going anywhere other than the miles of fabulous walks from the doorstep. We had quite a lot of rain and the cottage is very well equipped to dry clothing in the unpredictable Pennine weather. The Fleece pub and all day pantry is great and welcoming for a drink/lunch or evening meal. Really nice welcome pack and fresh flowers-lovely touch.
Thanks Diane, Good to see you again. Property Owner

A beautiful cottage not alot to do unless you like walking not good for someone with mobility issues verysteep hills the cottage had everything what was needed we where left a lovely welcome pack from shirley the owner the only thing what spoiled our stay was the traffic noise its on the main road to holmfirth the back garden was lovely but needed attention shirley said the gardner was due to attend it so we couldnt sit out in the lovely sunshine we had all week Shirley a lovely person and very friendly would recommend fleece cottage 100% we will be back to visit

"The cottage is outstanding."
It is spotless, well equipped and comfortable. A lot of thought has gone into to providing real home from home. The new shower is amazing! It is in a good location for walks in the Peak District and local reservoirs and the local pub/shop is in walking distance with good food and service. The welcome pack and extras are a real bonus. I cannot recommend it enough and will definitely be returning.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We look forward to seeing you again I hope. x Property Owner

"We had a wonderful time at Fleece cottage!"
The photos don’t do justice to how lovely the place is, and it was absolutely perfect for us two couples. The photos also don’t show a new huge TV screen in the living room, and a beautifully newly decorated bathroom. Could not recommend this place more!
Thank you so much for your kind comments. We look forward to seeing you again x Property Owner
-
"I highly recommend this property and area for a comfortable, clean, warm and welcoming holiday."
Can not fault the cottage in any way and the owners were very generous with our welcome pack. Thank you, we will be coming back.
Thank you Suzanne, We look forward to seeing you again. Best wishes Shirley Property Owner

"We had a fabulous week at Fleece cottage."
Everything is stress free and feels like a home from home. No reams of instructions as everything is straight forward but Shirley, the owner, leaves her contact details should you have any problems.The cottage is extremely well equiped if you wish to cook or you can take a short walk to the Fleece pub which is a lovely relaxed setting with great, friendly staff. So many proper country walks from the doorstep and can finish off with coffee and cake at the Pantry which is open until late (around 8pm). Will definately return soon for a relaxation treat.
Lovely to meet you. See you in February xx Property Owner
-
"The photos don’t do the cottage justice!"
It is a really well maintained, well equipped and comfortable cottage. Such an easy walk to the Fleece with great food at really good prices and friendly, welcoming staff. A joy to stay there.
Thank you for your comments. it was lovely to meet you all x Property Owner

"Great family cottage retreat, nice location with some great views."
A nice surprise was the welcome pack upon arrival, highly recommend
-
"We had a fab stay, lovely welcome pack, very well stocked and everything you need for a perfect stay."
. Great location, lots of great walks from Holme. We had a couple of meals at The Fleece which were delicious and very welcoming staff. Would definitely look at booking again,lots of walks still to do. We caught the bus into Holmfirth and walked back after a few drinks at the Pickled Pheasant! Just one little thing , I did request via Sykes chat that the single beds were made into a double, but they were still left at two singles. Didn’t spoil our break at all. Thank You

"Fleece Cottage is a lovely place to stay, great location and the owner Shirley is very helpful if you need anything."
We have already booked our next holiday there.
-
"The property is an old cottage that has had a makeover with a very cleverly designed internal layout and then well-chosen quality furniture and fittings installed."
With ornaments, plants, flowers etc. it feels like a beautiful, comfortable home. We were made to feel very welcome with all the goodies left for us and even water in the bowl for the dog. The cottage, the pub nearby and the location all add up to an amazing place for a holiday.
-
"We had a wonderful stay."
The cottage offers a really good location for hiking paths and a homely cozy environment. Pub was just down the road and everyone was really helpful. We loved the place an surely going to return. Welcome basket and flowers were a really nice and special touch and Fury our stafie loved the treats. Thank you for the wonderful stay, made some really nice memories!!
-

The owner is very helpful, the cottage is clean, cosy and well equipped. We would definitely recommend it and intend to stay there again.
-
"A lovely cottage."
So comfortable and clean. It was great to have a hose to wash the dog off with. Good walks from the cottage and a bus into Holmfirth was a bonus.
-
"Perfect in every way."
Had a nice and peaceful week away.
-
"Perfect for a couple of nights' stay while we explored Holmfirth, would definitely stay again."

This is the second time we have stayed at the Fleece Cottage this year - everything was just how we remembered it - perfect
-
"A lovely cosy cottage well placed for exploring west Yorkshire and parts of the Peak District."
Clean and well stocked equipment with added extras like milk, fruit and even dog treats! Close to pub and shop too. Only issue there was no hot water in final morning for shower and washing last dishes so had to use dish washer which took longer than expected.
-
"Had a great break in a truly beautiful cottage."
A real home from home. We really appreciated the extensive welcome pack which included treats for the dog. The only snag was my very tall husband negotiating the lower doors but he soon got used to it!!
-
"Lovely homely cottage, very well equipped, great location, 5mins walk to bus stop and pub."
-
"Very comfortable."
Nicely surprised by the welcome pack of wine, cake, fruit, fresh flowers are more. Very generous. Thank you. Great location for walking from the front door to the local reservoirs. Also good friendly pub 300 yards down the road, which made eating out very convenient. Only drawback for some people is the cottage is located near a bend in the road and you may find the traffic noisy - it wasn't a problem for us.
-
"We only met Shirley once on our departure but her generous hospitality had been felt from the first moment we entered the cottage - the home, sweet home setting with modern comfort & facilities, the welcome touches from towels to food/drinks."
The location was great for us as we wanted to visit both the Peak District and West Yorkshire. Had a memorable and enjoyable time despite the rain, sleet & snow. Totally satisfied.
-
"Beautiful cottage."
Beautiful location. Lovely people.

A really Lovely cottage, with all the many little extras touches made it a very warm pleasant welcome and going that extra mile and being thought of so you can have a great relaxing holiday, thank you Mark

"A lovely stay at Fleece Cottage."
Shirley was very helpful with any queries and it's such a cosy home in a beautiful part of the world.
-
"Very much enjoyed our week's stay in Fleece cottage over Christmas."
Comfortable, well-heated and very well-maintained. Thanks to Shirley for all the welcoming touches, including shortbread biscuits and prosecco.
-
"A wonderful cottage, very cosy, warm and lovely to be in."
The location is great - a lovely quiet village surrounded by hills but only 5 mins walk to the bus stop to Holmfirth/Huddersfield. The owners had made the cottage really nice, with lots of lamps, candles, cushions, cosy places to sit, and a useful dining table. The only downside was the cow farm two doors away from which you can sometimes hear cows screaming in distress, but this obviously isn't the fault of the cottage owners. I would recommend this holiday cottage for a relaxing stay in a beautiful part of the country.
-
"This property was amazing."
The pictures do not do it justice. we did not want to go home. We have already booked again for next year.
-
"There's nothing to be done about it but the road outside is pretty busy."
We found the traffic somewhat bothersome and reference to this in the description would have been useful. The cottage is one of the best we have stopped at, comfortable, warm and well equipped.
-
"Gorgeous cottage, all the comforts of home, will definitely be booking again."
-
"Really really lovely cottage."
Super clean, lots of little added extras and a beautiful little garden to explore. We would highly recommend.
-
"The cottage was spacious and very clean."
Perfect for our family (2 adults and 2 children) the pub down the road was perfect and a great place to stop for dinner and breakfast. The welcome package wS a lovely touch, thank you. The kitchen is very well set up with all you could need. A real home from home.
-
"Everything was excellent."
Two very minor suggestions: might be useful to have an instruction booklet, eg about bin collection etc; and oven gloves would have been handy.
-
"We had a wonderful stay at the Fleece Cottage, we were visiting family in the area and grew up here so knew it was a great location in terms of being rural and having a view."
Close to loads of great walks. We didn't arrive until after 11pm and Shirley met us at the cottage (we felt a bit bad arriving so late-maybe a key box for late arrivals?) and had left us milk for breakfast and a bottle of bubbly to celebrate our return to Yorkshire after over a year away- very thoughtful. The cottage is really nicely presented, with lots of modern touches in a traditional cottage. The only thing that let it down for us was that the double bed was uncomfortable & springy, so much so my partner moved out to one of the single beds half way through the week as he just wasn't sleeping. It's a shame as we were only really there overnight each night as we were visiting family all day so didn't get to appreciate the rest of it. A comfy bed is a top priority for us. Location wise, second to none. Well equipped and lovely friendly service from Shirley. Everything very easy in relation to covid & booking terms with Sykes cottages were great.

"The picture of the home makes it appear as though it is in a village."
It is actually one of only a few houses in a row before the verdant countryside rolls out. We were pleasantly surprised by how secluded it was.
-
"Just returned from a most enjoyable week in this lovely cottage."
There’s everything you need for a home from home, comfortable stay. Although it’s on a through road, there’s very little traffic and next to no noise. If you’re going to cook the odd meal, the kitchen is well equipped. Furniture is comfy throughout. The towels are big, fluffy and there’s plenty of them. Beds are really comfy, assuring a good nights sleep after a busy day exploring. The owners are just down the road at the Fleece Inn pub and are happy to help with any requests you might have. The food and drink at the pub is excellent. We also had some lovely meals at the Old Bridge pub in Holmfirth. If you want to leave the car, the bus stop is nearby and the bus service is extremely reliable. Would highly recommend Fleece Cottage, it’s an excellent base to enjoy the dales! Thank you Shirley for your hospitality and the very kind welcome pack. Thank you Sykes. I’ve been using your company for a number of years now and once again, you didn’t disappoint.

"The host had everything we needed in this cottage."
Plenty of towels, shampoo, toilet roll etc in the house so we didn't have to go and purchase anything other than food. Would highly recommend this cottage and definitely going to book this again in the future.

Spotlessly clean
