"We absolutely loved the cottage."
It was lovely, very clean and well decorated. It had everything in it that we could have wanted. The location is good and we tried a couple of the local takeaways. The walks around the reservoirs were really good and the scenery is just beautiful. The dampener for the week, other than the weather, which was very wet, was that the electricity board were working outside all day Tuesday so it was difficult to park near the cottage due to how they had the road blocked off. Then on the Wednesday, they cut the electric from 9am - 5pm so we had to spend the day out all day, mostly in the rain, with 2 dogs - it was not much fun at all. It is not the fault of the cottage owners and there was nothing that they could have done about the situation, however it put a bit of a dampener on an otherwise brilliant stay.

"Mouldy washing machine, broken bedroom window, mouldy water in the coffee machine left god knows how long, ash left in fireplace, marks dotted about the house, disgusting attitude from owner, the list goes on and on but worst of all."
.. UNDISCLOSED CCTV WATCHING YOU IN THE BACK GARDEN AND WHENEVER YOU LEAVE THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR NEIGHBOURS HAVE FREE ACCESS TO THE GARDEN Save yourself the misery and go somewhere else
We note your feedback comes after you were charged the cleaning bond for leaving dog muck all over the garden, dog faeces on the rug, blood all over the house and blood all over the bedding and duvet which would not come out. You were in fact one of the dirtiest guests we have had at the property. We have text messages from you during your stay where you say how lovely the property is and how much you were enjoying it so it’s no surprise you are now claiming otherwise after you left the property in a complete state and were charge for same.

"The cottage is in a good location, lovely and spacious and we were able to park outside which was great."
The cottage did have quite a stale smell when we arrived (I know it’s pet friendly) and it wasn’t quite as clean as we have had in previous cottages - it felt like no one had been in it for a while and the tv in the bedroom wasn’t connected to the Ariel so didn’t work. We also noted there is no extractor in the bathroom and you can’t open the window so there was quite a bit of mould around the bath. The cottage just needs a good freshen up.

"This is a lovely cottage situated in Holmfirth next to local walks in the woods with a few amenities (takeaways, bars and a coop) all within walking distance."
A short drive away to Holmfirth village and several walks that are suitable for off lead walking with the dogs. The property is as listed, furnishings are modern and the property is clean. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it for anyone wanting to use the cottage as a base for exploring the Peak District. We are only giving it a 4 star for reasons related to the garden that won’t be relevant to all guests. First we have 2 dogs and we usually like to relax in the garden with them with a few drinks after a day out walking. The garden in this property is very small at the rear of the property with a fence and locked gates either side to the neighbouring properties (I assume this is for access due to the terraced nature of the properties which back onto a high wall). The garden has fake grass and isn’t really a place we felt we could relax in. It was really only suitable to let the dogs out for a quick morning business as the neighbour’s rottweiler would growl and snarl at our dogs through the fence. I don’t blame the rottweiler, they are only doing a good job of guarding their territory but it was a bit intimidating for my two boxers. If the garden situation isn’t a concern for other guests then I’d definitely recommend the property.

"Cottage as described, there were a couple of issues which were resolved quickly."
-
"A really lovely cottage in a lovely area."
Lots of gorgeous scenery and walking opportunities nearby. The cottage itself has everything you need, even a small outside space should the weather be sufficiently pleasant. Helpful hosts (we had a minor isdue with the alarm following a power cut) and useful information pack. Would stay again.

"We had a lovely and comfortable stay."
The cottage was very homely and we didn’t need anything as everything was provided for. The cottage was well maintained and clean. The only issue we had was with your listing which gave no indication of any parking. We did email you but you never responded. We then contacted the owner direct who responded very quickly to clarify the situation. You can park on the road but it’s advisable to have some of your car on the pavement and your wing mirrors in. As the cottage is on a hill it’s fair to say the majority of people using it drove very responsibly.
Thank you so much for booking to stay and for your lovely comments! I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay and found everything comfortable. I’m so sorry Sykes wasn’t responsive, we have raised this issue with them to ensure this doesn’t happen again in future and I appreciate you contacting me directly instead. Property Owner

"This cottage is much larger than it looks from the outside, and is well appointed within."
The location is ideal for touring, and some interesting walks nearby, with a small but secure garden for any 4 legged friends that accompany you. The decor is fabulous, and the fittings are functional and although I love coffee I chose not to use the coffee machine in the kitchen, it was just too high up for me (if you go there you will see what I mean). We absolutely loved the cottage, and because it all looked so fresh you feel compelled to keep it clean - which is as it should be. If we are in the vicinity again we will definitely look at booking this again.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such lovely feedback and wonderful comments; we really appreciate it and would absolutely love to welcome you back again in the future! Property Owner

"A most amazing cottage, beautifully decorated and a gorgeous fireplace!"
Furnished to a very high standard. We loved it! Did manage to leave the dog biscuits in one of the kitchen cupboards though.. there were lots of cupboards in that kitchen!! Would certainly book again! Thanks for a great stay!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such lovely feedback; I really appreciate it! I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay and we would absolutely love to welcome you back in the future! Kindest regards Property Owner

"No spare bins, no toilet paper, heating didn’t work properly, advertise a fire ..."
No spare bins, no toilet paper, heating didn’t work properly, advertise a fire but no kindling, bathroom was filthy, pubic hair in the plug, television kept shutting off,
Hi Rachel, thank you for your feedback. We note that you posted the feedback after a cleaning bond was charged against you for: - furniture being overturned in property - external door being left wide open - menstrual blood over furniture & walls - dirty clothing and bags of clothing and rubbish piled up in the kitchen - used sanitary items being left throughout the property - the fire being left overflowing with half burned logs - your left over food and used pots all over the house We also have a video prior to your arrival which proves your above comments to be untrue and will advise Sykes of the same.

"The property was lovely and there are a few nice walk in the area, however the Internet was not working when we arrived, we stayed for 3 out of 4 nights but decided to leave a day early as the Internet was still not working which was disappointing."

"Lovely comfortable cottage."
-
"We had a lovely stay at Springwood Cottage with our dog Louie."
It was beautifully furnished, clean and comfortable. The location was excellent for exploring the amazing countryside around Holmfirth, we particularly loved Dovestone reservoir our boy Louie was in doggy heaven. We will definitely come back!
-
"Absolutely delightful cottage."
Very high standard. Busy road but that didn't spoil it for us. Really enjoyed our stay, as did Molly and Dolly, our two little Cavaliers.

!, watered the plants daily,:) messaged the owner the morning we left but no-reply which was a bit sad , but never mind, ,would highly recommend !!! anyone looking to stay you have to park on the path on the doorstep,but safe enough , as cameras at this property
Hi Joanne - thank you for your lovely feedback and I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay. I’m so sorry I didn’t reply to your final message, I was actually abroad with my little girl and only got back yesterday (I hope this finds you well so you know I didn’t just ignore it!). Thank you for booking and hope to see you again in future. Kindest regards Property Owner

"Great location, cottage facilities all good, could have done with a broom only found a small dustpan and brush or mop."
Couldn't park outside the property had to park up the road on the pavement as property sits on main road. Area was lovely with green opposite for walking the dog. Most attractions within a short distance.
Thank you so much Heather for taking the time to leave such lovely feedback - it is really appreciated. I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay and I will have a chat with the neighbours to ensure they leave a big enough space in future for parking. Kindest regards Property Owner

"Our stay at Springwood Cottage was great!"
It was spacious and modernly furnished, with an amazing view. The kitchen was well-equipped, and we enjoyed cooking and eating meals in the cosy dining area. The bedroom was comfortable, and all the linens and towels provided were fresh and of good quality. The location was perfect for exploring nearby attractions and we appreciated the helpful information provided by the owners. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation stay.
Thank you so much Niamh for taking the time to leave such lovely comments and feedback - it really is appreciated. I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay and a huge thank you to you for booking to stay! Property Owner

"We stayed in this lovely little terrace for 2 nights."
On arrival it wasn't too hard to find. Parking is just on the road outside of the property. The first thing we noticed when we opened the door unfortunately was a very strong smell of damp and wet dog. For some reason this smell was only downstairs in the property where as upstairs smelt quite pleasant. Felt rather uncomfortable as I have a very sensitive nose. So didn't cook anything in the property and took food upstairs to eat as I couldn't bare the smell. We bought a can on dog smell deodorising spray with us and even went to a local shop and bought a candle and left the downstairs window open throughout our stay but the smell did not subside. I'm not sure whether we got unlucky maybe from the previous people who visited but I can honestly say this put a huge downer on our stay as the weather was awful and we couldn't go out much. The area itself was lovely and there was a lovely burger restaurant and barkery in Holmfirth and we visited the local reservoir with our dogs which was beautiful.
Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately it’s a shame your feedback differs greatly from what you told me at the time. Your exact message read: “Thank you for all the info, your cottage is perfect we felt at home immediately and had a really good first nights sleep! Property Owner

"Stunning place, and well maintained."
I only had a short stay, but I felt relaxed and well looked after. Thank you.

"Great place lovely area, the parking isn't the best."
-
"Lovely few days away."
The cottage was perfect, exactly as described. Very well equipped and very homely. Would definitely stay here again if ever up that way.
-
"Photos don't do it justice."
Beautiful cottage with lovely furnishings, great space for a couple and dogs. Lovely touches in the decor throughout, fantastically clean and a perfect base for exploring both Yorkshire and The Peak District. Small garden which is fully enclosed for pets, but lovely walks next to the river directly opposite the cottage and plenty further afield. Chinese was fantastic, great recommendation! Wish we could've stayed longer.
-
"Excellent cottage, beautiful decor and well equipped cottage."
Had a lovely stay for Christmas. Set near a quiet village and beautiful scenery. Like to thank the owners for our Christmas gifts also very kind touch.
-
"What a gem of a place."
We stayed here for our Honeymoon and it was a lovely little hideaway and only 5 minutes drive from Holmfirth village. The Cottage itself was absolutely stunning, beautiful decor and very clean throughout. The TV in the bathroom was a nice touch. So cosy with the log fire too. Will definitely return at some point in the future.

"This is a lovely, tastefully decorated cottage with on road parking."
The area is beautiful, and the cottage is well positioned with walks straight from the door and Holmfirth a five-minute drive away, wouldn't recommend a walk but the bus stop is just across the road. The only negative thing I would say are some of the lighting features, the one in the kitchen is low and we often walked into it, the bathroom lights kept flickering and I would recommend putting a bin in there, the fire stove door was black, and we had to clean it to enjoy the flame, like I say minor details. On the whole it was a lovely cottage with a wonderful fire to cosy up in front of, with great walks and a homely feel.
Many thanks for your feedback Sue, I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay and glad you found the area beautiful. We are disappointed with the score, given the very minor issues you highlighted and more so that these issues were not raised at any point during your stay as we could have assisted you. The bathroom is on a dimmer switch and does need to be turned up fully, if it is not turned on properly it will flicker. We do not put a bin in the bathroom as items placed in it are unsanitary & it would be unfair for our cleaner to remove these items (particularly with covid still very much present). It is quite normal for the door of log burners to become black, rather than using harsh chemicals on the glass, it is recommended by the fire installer that it is simply just burnt off and it comes off within 5 minutes of being lit if lit correctly using the guide so I trust this didn’t cause you an inconvenience. We are very pleased you found the cottage cosy and homely and thank you again for booking to stay at Springwood. Property Owner

"The property is furnished to a very high standard with a comfortable bed & sofa."
Had no problems cooking or using any of the kitchen appliances. On a purely personal preference it would’ve been nice to have a couple of mugs rather than the larger cups. Also, a starter bundle of logs for the fire would’ve been a nice touch but luckily we took some with us. The area is beautiful with plenty of gorgeous walks around and interesting places to visit. We loved our stay here and would recommend it.
-
"Great modern, very well equipped cottage, very impressed with decor and all facilities, could find no faults, although did have problem with televisions, but I am sure that was our fault not yours, one in the bathroom was a great surprise."
Thanks very much
-
"We were pleasantly surprised to find a very tastefully furnished and decorated property."
We found this to continue throughout. Needing to solve a problem we contacted the owner who responded promptly with a solution. We could have asked for no more in every respect and hope to return in the future. We would certainly recommend the cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing break.
-
"Property was great, clean and tidy on arrival."
The property is better than the pictures. Only issue was the cctv camera in the yard. I understand why it’s there but would of been nice to know this. I hope you found the property clean and tidy when we left. Thank you. We would stay again.
Thank you so much Wayne for your lovely feedback! We certainly did and really appreciated how you left it and for washing the bedding too (we can’t thank you enough). I completely accept your point re the CCTV, it was installed when I used to live there myself and we haven’t taken it down. If it’s any consolation it is only ever checked if any issues arise. Thank you again for booking to stay at Springwood :) Property Owner

"Springwood Cottage is a lovely cottage for a break away."
It is beautifully decorated and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It is in a good location, within easy reach of a number of different places to go walking, as well as a number of different towns and cities in Yorkshire. I never had any issues getting parked outside. The village of New Mill has a small supermarket to get immediate supplies from with a larger supermarket in nearby Holmfirth. The chinese takeaway in New Mill is also highly recommended! I would definitely recommend Springwood Cottage!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such lovely feedback, it’s very much appreciated. I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay! I must say the Chinese is exceptional, particularly the salt & pepper chips! Thank you again for booking to stay at Springwood Property Owner

"We had a great week with our two labradors in the cottage ."
It had plenty of room for the dogs downstairs. The cottage is a lot more spacious than it looks online . Very clean , and modern with plenty of items in the kitchen to cook any meal . We had a huge choice of great walks , good food outlets and a fantastic green area across the road to walk the dogs morning and evening . The parking was easy ,right outside the cottage and no problem was faced all week . I would highly recommend this delightful cottage to anyone that is thinking of booking . The owner of the property was outstanding in helping us a few days before when we text and asked if the cottage had walking books etc , she went out of her way to text extra info to us too . Very very impressed with the whole experience . 10/10 .
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such lovely feedback, it’s very much appreciated. I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay & found all the amenities worked. Thank you for booking to stay at Springwood and we would love to welcome you back for any future stays! Property Owner

"It was a perfect little cottage for us and the dogs we would highly recommend."
The roads a little noisy but was that exhausted slept through it lol only issue I had was the bath/shower was extremely slippery when wet could do with a mat. Would love to visit again in the future thank you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such lovely feedback, it’s very much appreciated. I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay! It can be a little noisy at peak times, but hopefully the traffic was quieter on your evening. I’m terribly sorry about you not having a mat, usually one is put in at every changeover so I apologise for the oversight. Thank you again so booking to stay at springwood and we would love to see you again in future Property Owner

"We had a fabulous week away, the cottage is very well equipped, we cooked several times during our stay and found everything we needed and more."
The owners have provided a clear guide to the cottage and there are instructions for the use of the appliances, where to find local pubs and shops and so on which is extremely helpful. The cottage has loads of storage space. We would highly recommend this cottage.
Thank you so much Gwyn for taking the time to leave such lovely feedback, it is really appreciated. I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay at the cottage and if you visit sunny Holmfirth again in future, we would love to have you back! Property Owner

"Really really enjoyed our stay."
Everything was exactly what we expected and wanted (it is actually much bigger than the photos make out aswell). Definitely recommend and wouldn't hesitate staying again in the future!
Thank you so much Jake for taking the time to leave such lovely feedback. We would definitely welcome you back in future! Property Owner

"The property was lovely but for any length of stay it really needs an extractor above the hob."
The steam is damaging the above units. We couldn't get all the rings on the hob to work nor what I presume was a TV screen in the bathroom.
-
"A beautifully decorated, cosy property."
We thought it was gorgeous and only lacked some necessities (wardrobe, bin upstairs). We stayed with our dog... if a place accepts pets then you need to accept there may be indicators of doggies, which obviously wasn't an issue to us. Parking was fine. Location was really good. Great recommendations in the handy owners information pack. Just check bus times if you plan on using the bus (they stopped running at 2pm on the day we stood there waiting to head into Holmfirth, whoops!). Overall we had an amazing stay and look forward to returning...
Thank you so much Emma for taking the time to leave such lovely feedback. We would definitely welcome you back in future! We completely agree with your comments and have now put in a wardrobe, more storage areas, a bin and a tv in the bedroom so hopefully it will be more comfortable if you visit in future! And excellent point regarding buses, I’ll have a look at getting some timetables printed off. Property Owner

"Thank you for a lovely, short stay."
The cottage was comfortable and had all the basics needed for a short break. The bed was comfortable and parking easy despite no designated space.
Thank you Amy for taking the time to provide feedback, it’s really appreciated. We’ve made some changes to the property so hopefully it will get top marks if you visit again in the future! Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay at Springwood Cottage."
The property was clean, cosy and had everything we needed. The Log burner was a great addition! There was a visitors Guidebook which was extremely helpful - we visited two of the walks and the Sculpture Park, all of which were full of beautiful sceneries. We found a few lovely Pubs, The Huntsman’s Inn was great for food, the Fleece was lovely for drinks, and Jacob’s Well was also good for a bite to eat. We stayed for 3 days - this was plenty of time to do everything we wanted! Overall, this was a lovely stay and would recommend. The only recommendation would be to add a TV in the bedroom!
Thank you so much for taking the time to provide such lovely feedback! We completely agree with you regarding the tv and have now added one into the bedroom along with a dressing area, wardrobe and more storage! So hopefully if you visit us in future your stay will be more comfortable Property Owner

"The cottage was gorgeous and we had a lovely stay."
The bed was extremely comfortable. Unfortunately we didn’t have a welcome guide but the hosts emailed us a copy straight away (the original had gone missing) and we’re very helpful.
Thank you so much Karen for taking the time to provide such lovely feedback. We apologise for the guide, and have ensured going forward we always have a spare at hand! Property Owner

"Lovely cottage, just way too noisy as on very busy main road."
No information in the cottage to tell us about where to put rubbish, no wifi code to be seen, I had to message the owner regarding both of these, there are also no recycling options, so ALL rubbish goes to landfill.
Hi Angie! Thank you for your feedback. The property is situated on a main road, this is made clear in the description. The information you requested was provided to you straight away when asked. We do not have recycling bins as what goes in them varies from different councils. With it being a holiday let and people coming from different areas, it was found people were putting items in that could not be recycled in Kirklees which caused numerous issues for the bin men. We did point you to the neatest recycling bins if you wished to recycle your items. You will also note there is no where to place multiple additional bins as the property is a terrace and people like to park directly outside. A guide is usually provided containing all the property information so I apologise this was not available for you. Thank you again for booking and I’m glad you enjoyed the rest of your stay!

"This cottage was easy to find, in a lovely area, quiet and with quiet neighbours, it was spacious and warm, with plenty of space."
Handy for both local shops and a few minutes drive from Holmfirth which had a well stocked pet shop, some lovely bakeries and a lovely greengrocers, also a good size co-op for a bigger shop. Great for a relaxing time.

"We had a lovely short break at Springwood Cottage."
The cottage was immaculately clean, warm and comfortable and the wood burner with its supply of fuel was a real plus. Exploring the area was made easy by the range of local info available in the cottage and the eating out recommendations were spot on! Overall a fab weekend and we’ll definitely be back!

The cottage is gorgeous and wait until you see all the modern amenities provided! We brought our little dog and she really enjoyed going on walks round the village. We found it warm and inviting and also very modern, not needing for anything! Come treat yourself to this place! You won't regret it!

"Springwood Cottage was just what I needed - really well appointed and finished, cosy and had everything you could think of to make your stay comfortable."
Great location and a short walk to shops or pubs. We did lots of walking and visits to Wakefield, Yorkshire Sculpture Park and the Piece Hall in Halifax. Highly recommended.

"Got to the cottage on the afternoon of the 5th October for a 3 night stay."
It was much bigger than it looked in the pictures. The welcome pack had everything we needed to know about our surroundings. Brilliant. House was literally a home from home. Beautiful. Shower, amazing, bed, so so comfortable. We lit the log burner & it was super cosy. We did venture to the co-op to replace the wood. Felt the right thing to do for the next people to stay. Would highly recommend it. We did 3 stunning walks in different locations, all less then a ten minute drive. Just what you desire from a stay in our Peak District. We totally loved it & all that fresh air has revived us on our return to city life. Highly recommend this cottage & area. It offers everything possibly needed. Also town a stone throw away. Fantastic!!!!!!

"We had a second wonderful stay at this cottage and it was better than the first so we will be back - No Pressure!"

"We had a fantastic stay at Springfield Cottage."
Everything you need for a comfortable stay is provided. We had no issues at all apart from needing to adjust the water temperature. There are instructions by the thermostat that were easy to understand. The cottage is in a good location to visit places of interest and fabulous walks. We took 2 dogs and never failed to find a different walk. The TV in the bathroom was a lovely surprise, maybe a small request would be a tv in the bedroom. We would definitely recommend this cottages(in fact my friend has requested your details already) and will certainly be visiting again soon. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.
Thank you so much Karen for taking the time to provide such lovely feedback, it’s really appreciated. We would love to see you again in future! We completely agree with you regarding the tv and have now popped one in the bedroom (along with a wardrobe and more storage space) so hopefully your next visit will be even better! Property Owner

"A delightful little cottage, with a modern kitchen and bathroom."
A great base to explore Holmfirth and the Peak District If we visit West Yorkshire again we’d definitely stay here! A big thank you to our hosts Nikki & Mathew for giving us loads of relevant information regarding places to visit, some lovely walks and great pubs! Regards Sharon & Maurice
-
"A lovely place for a break."
The cream tea kit waiting for us was very welcome. Only minor problems were the misdirection of the thermostat location in the pre arrival email and the lack of off road parking. The thermostat was found once we started moving things into the bedroom and the road was not very busy.
-
"We booked a 5 night break but only stayed 4 nights, 3 mornings out of the 4 we had no heating and no hot water, we contacted the owner on each morning and they did try each day to resolve the issue."
We saw rats in the back yard on several occasions and also reported to the owner who again came out and cleared out behind a shed. The house next door kept chickens and was full of scrap/junk which probably encouraged rats. The cottage is also on a main road which was very busy and noisy. It was such a shame as the cottage inside was nicely decorated with plenty of space.
-
"Great location for exploring the area!"
Felt very (Covid) safe in the house - very clean. Would have no hesitation in recommending a stay here. Scones on arrival were a lovely touch, as were dog biscuits for our furbaby :-)
-
"Spring wood cottage was a superb little cottage, very comfortable, excellent facilities including an excellent kitchen/diner and bathroom."
