• "We had fabulous weather and completed some good walks, beautiful woodland walks from the cottage."

  Our neighbours, cows, sheep and pheasants where much better neighbours than humans... Lovely welcome pack, fruit cake was very tasteful. Wortley Hall gardens are worth the walk to, it was ashame the church in the village was locked. Worsbrough Mill and country park are only a 10 mins drive away, lovely walk around the resavoir. Interesting monuments etc in Wentworth Castle grounds (National trust) but there is a back way in, across the road, eventually up to some huge felled trees, it's not far from a caravan site, nice wooded path up. At home for a rest now.

• "We loved our stay at The Bothy."

  The cottage was so clean, comfortable and peaceful! We were surrounded by wildlife and enjoyed watching the buzzards. The local pub, The Wortley Arms is in walking distance, directions thoughtfully supplied by the owners and we would highly recommend their food. The welcome gifts of wine and cake was a lovely touch and the owners had thought of everything you might need during your stay. We are hoping to return sometime soon!

• "Beautiful small cottage, that feels like you are miles from anywhere though in reality you are close to all amenities."

  Perfect for anyone who likes peace and quiet, with lovely walks straight out of the door, plenty of wildlife and great local amenities such as restaurants, shops and pubs. I don’t think I would be able to find anywhere else that would even come close to how perfect this place feels for us. In fact my trips to the area these days start with me looking at the availability of the Bothy!

• "After a very hectic year we needed a peaceful place for our holiday from where we could go for walks and cycle rides in the hills and valleys."

  Spending two weeks at Hollins Wood Bothy was the perfect solution for that! The house is a gem, lodged in the middle of a field, but with good access. It had all the facilities we'd expect these days and is clean. With two outside sitting areas you can take in the nature that surrounds you whilst sipping your cup of tea in the morning or having your meals. Sheep in the adjacent field in the first week were a delight to observe.

  I always look for quirky places to stay and the bothy delivered in spades!... from the tranquility of the no neighbours (except for the sheep and cows) location amidst fields, to the three gates on the approach. We enjoyed the close proximity of the Peak District as well as the local area around Wortley and beyond, managing a day in York too. A great place to relax and unwind!

  It is very rural with a wide variety of wildlife literally on your doorstep. The amenities at the building are all one would desire. The village of Wortley has everything one would need. We would particularly recommend the Countess tea rooms where we had afternoon tea and/or lunch a number of times. The village shop/ post office and the farm shop were all very helpful. We used the Bothy as a base for visiting many of the local attractions. Hope to visit again.

  It is such a cosy little cottage to spend time in, with all you need for a comfortable stay. The welcome pack of cake and wine was a lovely surprise, and the woodburner stove was ready just to light! It was so peaceful staying there, with just the sounds of the locals (sheep, lambs and other wildlife). The location feels quite remote, however it is only a short drive to local amenities. Highly recommended if you are looking for peace and quiet.

  If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of normal life then it’s perfect.

• "The hosts were top rate, contacting us with all the information we needed to arrive and settle in very quickly and problem free."

  There was an extensive, well laid out, easy to follow information pack which contains everything, but everything, you need to know. The bothy was the cleanest we have ever seen, maintained to a high standard. All told on balance it was a lovely located and appointed holiday let well managed to the highest standards with smart TV and flawless WiFi, the best we've known. So your isolation still has strong links to the outside world. The very minor limitations on services are no more than expected and indeed given the bothy's location and history are amazingly good. Bed was comfortable and gave a good nights sleep, shower and toilet facilities are fine. We didn't need to use the wood burner but imagine at colder times it would give the bothy an amazing cosy feeling. Only constructive comment would be the kitchen fittings. We usually do some self catering but the Lamona fittings supplied by Howdens are universaly accepted as the worst. They were adequate but barely. Didn't detract from a lovely time or stop us from going again but at some point they will fail after years of poor service! Saucepans, cutlery, crockery and utensils all good and well maintained. So all in all nothing really to fault this location as long as you like an escape from the 'madding' crowd.

  What a find! It’s isolated, being only surrounded by fields, yet the village is only a short drive away. The owners sent us detailed directions, which meant we got there easily. On arrival, the cottage was clean, and warm, making it really welcoming after our journey.

It’s cosy, clean & comfortable, a beautiful renovation from the derelict barn it once was. The wine, cake & flowers were a lovely welcome gift. The location is secluded & quiet with just cows and sheep as neighbours, which are friendly enough. There were some great walks straight from the bothy, we did a couple, walked to the village and beyond, stopping at the countess for a light bite...probably the best scone I’ve ever eaten. We drove to the Yorkshire sculpture park which was a lovely day out & another day at the reservoir with a stop off at the pub there for refreshments. We ate out at the Wortley Arms in the village, lovely food. All in all, we couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay & we will definitely be back again soon.

  It is surrounded by fields and animals. If you need to get away from it all, if you need to have some peace and calm, then you must book this cottage. It is beautifully decorated and it has everything that you need and more. To get to the property you have to drive through three gates and that, I found amazing. Not only it gives you a sense of security and protection, it also is very interesting and different to what your everyday life is about. The minute you enter the first gate, immediately it gives you that feeling of separation from everything else in the most amazing way. At the end of the day, that is what holidays are about. Experiencing new things. The owners of the cottage have also made every effort in preparing a very useful binder which has everything you may need. I loved the complimentary tea and cake accompanied by wine and milk which were all very thoughtful. Outside the cottage there are two separate seating areas which were excellent as at different times of the day, you get to enjoy the sun and different views. Also the bed was very comfortable and temperature was well controlled in the cottage. Thank you both very much.

  Tucked away ion the middle of fields, this excellent conversion of a former derelict small stone barn provides interesting and unusual accommodation for a couple with all mod cons. Cosy and compact it may be but it is all there! Owned by friendly and helpful local people who gave us a great welcome with a bottle of wine, milk in the fridge and flowers in each room!!! The natives in Wortley village, nearby, are also friendly. There is a good pub doing excellent food and local beer, a really nice tearoom, a Post Office and General Stores plus a Farm Shop with as proper butchery counter... Lovely pies and great meat... good bacon and a lovely brisket joint to bring home for the slow cooker... Yum!!! You could stay here and have a quiet break, just walking locally and there are plenty of paths but then you'd miss all there is to see in this part of Yorkshire. 10 or so minutes away by car you have Stocksbridge with the new Fox Valley Shopping development with several good restaurants and plenty of interesting pubs locally to eat at.

Toasty and warm (especially when we lit the stove), the owners left some lovely treats for us, and fresh flowers in every room....we will go back there again and again. It's idyllic. Plus....I can highly recommend the Wortley Arms' Sunday Roast - its HUGE! Take your walking boots and wellies though, and you will be just fine.

• "Even though the weather caught us out for most of the week, the bothy is a lovely little base camp to see Yorkshire."

  When you arrive its very clean and tidy with some little gifts to get your break of to a good start. Even with this being our third visit to the bothy none of the magic and warmth has left it and we are looking forward to going back in the future.

• "This cottage was excellent and was actually more attractive than the website picture suggested."

  The cottage is in a lovely peaceful setting yet brilliantly located for all sorts of places of interest. The village has an excellent pub shop and tea rooms if you don't fancy venturing far and there are many lovely walks to be had too. On our arrival we found wine and locally made cake waiting for us -which was much appreciated after a long journey from the south. Another thoughtful touch was the excellent directions to the cottage which kept stress levels down! This cottage is difficult to fault and a credit to its owners.
