"A very nice, roomy cottage."
I’ve stayed there several times and will again if the opportunity arises. I have two suggestions that I cannot stress strongly enough.
(1) Hand rails are needed on the stairs. I once fell backwards down the stairs due to the lack of a hand rail. Had I sustained serious injuries you would’ve heard more than just this note.
(2) A bar to grasp when entering/exiting the bath tub is needed. The bottom of the tub is very slick. I bought shower shoes in Huddersfield to prevent a fall.
Many thanks for your feedback. This is something we will look into over the next couple of weeks. Thank you for your feedback. We hope you’ll visit us again one day in either The Lookout or Oak and Stars Hideaway. Thank you

"The only points I have are that the WiFi is not up to driving the TV in the lounge and the TV in the bedroom didn't work at all."
Otherwise a fabulous property with everything you need in a central location, car parking is close and cheap.

"A great place right in the centre of Holmfirth."
We had a lovely two days hiking around the local area and the peaks with the doggo. Oscars next door was great for a glass of wine and a pizza too. Would recommend. Thank you Chloe!

"Pros - right in the centre of Holmforth near all visitor attractions
Clean inside and cosy
Cons NO PARKING, did specify there was parking on the advert but had to park in the local CO--OP £6."
50 a day ( x2) which owner said she would pay . After several calls and texts said she would, but did not refund. ):.
Very noisy at night till early hours , it is a joined to a wine bar so expected at weekends. Avoid front bedroom if you are a light sleeper.
Stairs very steep, I am very fit, but I was going up with my hands before me on the stairs. This has already been mentioned by a previous review ,as he had fallen down them.- suggested a hand rail but nothing fitted.
Please note- no number on the door, so very difficult to find. We arrived at around 3pm and it was chaotic trying to find the airbnb, traffic extremely busy. Again a previous review mentioned no number on the door, but again nothing had been done. This would cost about £2 for a couple of stickers and save a lot of hassle!
I hope you don't find this review too negative, I am always honest .

"Mostly as described, with a central location and good little touches."
The location meant that the Friday and Saturday night rowdy lot out in town kept us up till the wee hours (our bedroom overlooked the front), but this isnt in the owner's control. Inside the accommodation, unfortunately too many dog hairs on carpets and sofas meant my wife (allergic to them) couldnt really relax when needed to. A deep clean should be undertaken after every pet visit.
Hello
Thanks for your review. Regarding the noise it is a very central holiday let so people book this for the convenience and fun element of the cottage. Plenty of quieter airbnbs out of the town.
Regarding the dog hairs I’ll speak to housekeeping but it is pet friendly and a deep clean is done after every single clean. Thank you

"We had a very pleasant stay at The Lookout."
Came up from Nottingham to see a gig at the Picturedrome, which was in easy walking distance. Everything was easy to get to. The Lookout was very comfortable, lovely shower and beds. All in all an excellent stay. Just had a slight problem finding a wheelie bin to dispose of our rubbish. Got it sorted in the end. Thank you for your hospitality.

"I cannot stress this enough, there should be hand rails on the stairs."
THERE ARE NOT! I once did a back flip down the stairs between the first and second floors, striking my head on the door to the heater closet. The stairs horizontal length is short causing the heels of someone with large feet, such as myself, to have no support. I was fortunate to not suffer a more serious injury than I did. I have mentioned this before but no action has been taken. My wife and I practically crawl up the stairs. There is a high possibility for someone to be seriously injured on these stairs.

"Just had a week in this beautiful property."
Our family of 2 adults and 2 teenagers loved it. Chloe contacted us before our stay to ask if we would like the beds to be made single rather than a double for the teens which was a great help. She also messaged us through our stay to check everything was ok. The amenities in the property were fabulous, comfortable beds and everything we needed in the kitchen was there. Shower/bath lovely and plenty of hot water. We always found parking up the road which was about a 5 minute walk so perfect. Thank you for a lovely time.
Thank you for your very kind review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and look forward to welcoming you again sometime.
Thanks

"The flat is comfortable, and decorated nicely."
However finding it was an issue, as there is no sign or number on the door and the parking situation is tricky with it being on a split double bend with double yellow lines so we had problems locating the flat and unloading when we arrived, it would be useful to be clear about the location on the advert. Also, advertising it as a cottage seems a little misleading. It is a flat with steep stairs from the front door to the lounge and kitchen and further steep stairs to the bedrooms. We would not have booked it had this been clear in the advert, my mother is 82 and disabled which made it really challenging for her. The 'balcony' area off the kitchen needs a good clean up, there were lots of wasps and it was slimy underfoot with lots of leaves. Not an area of any use really and there is no outside area for a dog despite it being a dog friendly property. However, the location is great - very central, and we were pleased with the double glazing as we could hardly hear the roads and wine bar next door. Could have used some microwavable dishes, and instructions for the microwave/grill thing and it was disappointing to find we were allocated three clothes hangers each, and no wardrobes or anywhere to hang towels. Lastly, this is the first place in 20 years where there was no welcome gift, but we got over that. Great place to explore Holmfirth and the surrounding Pennines and Peaks from but not ideal for dogs, elderly, or disabled people.
Many thanks for your feedback. The property is described as a duplex apartment over 2 floors so unsure why you thought otherwise. Parking for a property in VERY central Holmfirth can be a bit hard but you are able to pull up straight outside the takeaway and the cottage is across the road. We offer to pay for parking if you ask us.
Regarding the “balcony” as you call it we don’t advertise it to have a garden as this is only a very very small yard area for people to use if they are having a cigarette. It isn’t classed as a garden. I have managed to tidy up all the leaves up there but due to a sycamore tree above it so it’s very difficult to keep it constantly tidy. There is all microwave dishes etc in the drawer underneath. Also the instructions are in the folder in the kitchen,
We always put in flowers, milk and chocolates for your arrival. I will speak to housekeeping in case they didn’t do it when I was away.
I hope you still had a lovely day and we hope to welcome you at one of our properties again soon.
Thank you
