"Lovely modern conversion easy walking distance to centre of Holmfirth ."
Small , but very well designed . Lovely welcome pack ( which many owners don’t seem to bother with these days ) . Exceptionally clean . Although it is right on a busy main road , the double glazing and rear location of the bedroom mean that this isn’t an issue . Holmfirth is great ( despite the current roadworks ) and particularly recommend “ Nowhere “cafe/bar and Magic Rock Brewery Taproom

"We really enjoyed our stay in this cottage, everything was thought of and more."
Best welcome basket we’ve ever had! The only negative is no outside space but we knew that from description. Super area, found hills a challenge after Norfolk! But locals extremely friendly and welcoming. Thank you
Thank you so much, so glad you enjoyed our cottage and little valley. I’m from Lincolnshire originally so know exactly where you’re coming from! Property Owner

"Stayed here a few times."
Always excellent.
Great to hear, thank you, you are most welcome anytime ☺️ Property Owner

"Beautiful little apartment,spotlessly clean everything you need for stay away from home."
The only problem we had was parking which could be various distance from apartment depending upon amount of vehicles at the time. The home opens upon a very busy road but due to excellent windows traffic noise is not heard inside. At the back of the house a lovely stream runs by although we could not get to it, as it was very warm when we visited we left windows open wide and it was so soothing hearing it throughout the night. We would definitely return.
Very sorry to hear about your problem with parking, it really does depend upon the time of day, as a lot of workers park on the same road as it is safe and more importantly free! After 3pm ish they start to go home and then by tea time and all evening and night you can park very near the bottom and closer to the holiday let Property Owner

"Perfect little cottage with every comfort you need for home from home."
A well laid out cottage with a very generous welcome pack & good communication from the owner. Holmfirth is a great location with plenty of walks on your doorstep and easy to go further afield. If you want to eat out or just have a drink ypu will be spoilt for choice- we especially loved Tupello! We'll be back to explore some more of what the area has to offer.
Thank you so much for your review, our little town is lovely isn’t it , must visit Tupelo again! We also have a great new venue to try also called “Nowhere”! Plus 2 other new places that have just opened, so yes, definitely spoilt for choice ☺️ Property Owner
-
"Fabulous cottage, super clean and comfortable with everything we needed for our stay."
We loved the gentle sound of the river and slept with our window open. A very warm welcome from Amanda with some treats for our stay.
Thank you so much, it’s so lovely and rewarding when guests enjoy our holiday let’s and appreciate our efforts! Thanks ☺️ Property Owner

"There are few places so well designed in style comfort and need, everything is catered for and more."
It is a perfect get-away and a longer stay, The location is central and the river is so healing running by. The hosts are fabulous in attending to all needs promptly. As soon as you walk in you go- ahhhh.... Thank you
Aww thank you so much was lovely to meet you and so glad we made your stay restful and peaceful, thank you. Property Owner
-
"A truly lovely apartment in the heart of a beautiful town that has everything."
The hosts were lovely, and the apartment set to a very high standard with all amenities and comfort a couple would ever need. We will be back.... X
Lovely to hear, thanks so much. You will have to try Up Top next time! Same standards but a different perspective Property Owner
-
"Wonderful, cosy but modern apartment in a really great location."
Everything we needed was provided, we were warm and comfortable during a chilly break, and felt so relaxed. The welcome treats were so kind and generous. It's lovely to stay in a pet friendly place which is so clean and provides throws to protect the furniture if needed. Also, the whole town welcomes dogs and has a very friendly vibe. It's a lovely place to explore and the owner was kind enough to offer us early check-in and make us aware of Christmas events happening when we stayed. Literally 2 minutes walk to a great chippy and the Picturedrome for gigs.
-
"Definitely benefit from a mop and bucket to clean up after muddy paws, and a microwave would be useful."
Other than that a perfect 10 ++++++++++++++++++++ loved our stay
Hello, so glad you enjoyed your stay. Thanks so much for your comments, unfortunately as storage space is at a premium as it only sleeps 2, we decided against providing a mop as it would have to be on show! And we have had so few requests for a microwave, we think the worktop space is far more useful, but we will definitely review the situation and thanks for bringing it up Property Owner

"We absolutely enjoyed our time at Over under Cottage."
Location was spot on and felt like home.
Lovely, thank you, we try our best, glad you enjoyed it. Property Owner

"Brilliant, perfect, totally recommended, wouldn't stay anywhere else!"
Ahh brilliant, thanks so much, we look forward to you returning soon ☺️ Property Owner

"We loved our brief stay in Holmfirth at Over-Under and the wonderful welcome pack of goodies was the icing on the cake."
-
"Absolutely gorgeous cottage with lots of lovely finishing touches such as a basket of treats, and milk in the fridge when we arrived."
Lots of helpful information left in the file for us to read. Excellent location, we were at a gig at the picturedome the first night and it was a couple of minutes walk away, with lots of nice pubs, restaurants and cafes nearby.
Thanks so much, it is a perfect location for a great venue like the Picturedrome , Holmfirth is brilliant for a weekend without the car, everything you need on your doorstep plus great scenery and walks! Property Owner
-
"A gorgeous place to stay with access to everything we needed or would want to do nearby."
Everything was spotlessly clean and very comfortable and the extra unexpected touches were a delight and much appreciated by both us and our dog - thank you.
Thank you so much, we like it when doggies have a good time too! There’s so much for them to enjoy in our little valley Property Owner
-
"Loved the accommodation and welcome pack."
Loved the location too
-
"Well equipped, neat and tidy apartment."
Well situated. Highly recommended!
-
"A big thank you to Amanda."
What a fabulous find. Perfect location for enjoying walks and even better that we only had to take the car out a couple of times as most of the walks started locally. The information books in the chest were a godsend. Loads of lovely touches including treats (I needed the walks), flowers and coffee. The cottage was exceptionally clean, super comfortable and had everything you could need. Only slight issue was being only 5ft 2 I did struggle with the bedroom mirror but my husband said I looked just fine and I would never argue with him. Might even be tempted to return. We would highly recommend.
Ah thank you for the lovely review. Property Owner
-
"The cottage is lovely, perfect location."
The only downside is that it's located on a very busy main road, no outside space for the dog. Still warrants 10 out of 10 but I think this should be mentioned. Everything else was perfect. Thank you.
-
"Lovely little apartment very comfortable, with everything we needed."
The welcome pack was lovely with lots of little treats,the owner even took into consideration for our dog with his own treats and extra doggie requirements ie dog food,poo bags, and even his very own toy (which he loved). Had we known the building was on a very busy road leading straight onto very narrow footpath. Not great with a dog (not the cottage owners fault). We would have reconsidered our booking. I would recommend the owners to provide a small mop & bucket so that holiday makers can clean the floor from muddy paws. That said we would return as Holmfirth is a beautiful little town.
-
"We were delighted to have found this lovely cottage."
The location was superb, literally a few minutes walk from the centre of Holmfirth and right next to the river. Amanda had thought of everything from the decor and home comforts to the very kindly provided basket of treats. We would not hesitate to recommend a stay here.
-
"Very nice place to stop this is our 2nd stay and will be back again soon I hope"
-
"Had an absolutely gorgeous week away."
The property is just gorgeous with the river running right at the back. everything you need for two people. I loved lying in bed in the morning and listening to the water running past the window. Right in the heart of Holmfirth… visited lots of bars and restaurants, absolutely loved the gig that we went to at the pictuedrome, highly recommended.
-
"This is a lovely apartment in the heart of the town."
Very clean and everything you might need for a short holiday. A generous welcome pack and the owner was always available for any questions. The town has plenty of shops, bars and restaurants and there are lots of walks nearby for all levels. It's certainly a place you would go back to.
-
"The cottage was beautiful well appointed spotlessly clean warm and comfortable."
Everything was provided for our comfort down to throws for settee the heating was nice and having Netflix a bonus as weather was not great. The bed was zip linked and nice and big with very good quality bedding. Very quirky cottage as you step off street straight into the room then looking out of bedroom window it was three stories high. Would love to return soon
That’s so lovely, thank you Property Owner
-
"Really was a amazing cottage to stay in with everything you could possibly need in a ideal location right in the heart of holmfirth ."
Lovely basket of chocolates pop corn bottle of vino milk in the fridge perfect .it would be our first choice to stay here again and the owners were always on hand if ever needed 10 out of 10
Thanks so much, very much appreciated. Property Owner

"A lovely warm welcoming compact accommodation ."
At first we both thought how small but by the end of second day we loved our little home for 7 days. Perfect for our lovely dog Lacey the uncarpeted floors were a blessing so easy to clean. The best part of the house for me was the bedroom with river right outside flowing fast past our window with the window open a delightful sound to fall asleep to. The bed was very comfortable and big. The bathroom with walk in shower was perfect to as was the colour lighting if you so wished. The vegan treats left by Amanda was soo kind and welcome . It rained most of the time but didn't stop us getting out and about. If you turn left from the house and walk about 1.5 miles you come to the Pickled Pheasant I think it's called serves cake and coffee dogs are welcome and from there many walks. We even ran there and back one day it is uphill all the way but manageable for someone in their late 60s and 70s. We also had several evenings in the winking stag ha I think that was the name just over the road from the house again dogs allowed. The area itself is very busy if you like that sort of thing but doesn't take long to find peace. There is a park very close opposite side of road Victoria Park Lacey loved climbing the steps. All in all a lovely Xmas week great communication with owner Amanda and lots of nice touches in her home. Thank you
-
"Small but perfectly formed."
Super comfy bed. Everything we needed was there. We really appreciated that it was made to feel welcome. The busy road did not bother us at the front, completely different at the rear of the property, nice view. Hope to stay again.
-
"What a great dog friendly place!"
The cottage, the little town, the whole area! Brill, loved it and so warm and cosy.
-
"A credit to you would definitely recommend and will be booking again"
-
"Charming little apartment for two people right in the centre of lovely Holmfirth."
Very recently adapted to a very high standard and spotlessly clean throughout. We will definitely be returning, possibly to the owners other property (Up Top?) as we missed having a dishwasher and microwave. Thanks for the flowers and welcome pack.
Hello, thank you for the lovely review, so glad you enjoyed it and you will receive a very warm welcome at Up-Top Cottage as well, along with much more space and better views alongside the dishwasher and microwave Property Owner
-
"This was our second visit to this cottage in Holmfirth."
The cottage was just as welcoming, with all the little extras waiting for us along with fresh flowers! Everything in this cottage enables you to have a great holiday and the location is spot on with free parking just up the road. We would highly recommend this cottage as the hosts are really friendly and helpful and we will definitely be returning!! Thanks!
Hi Lorraine Thanks so much for taking the time to write us another lovely review, really appreciate it, hope to see you again soon! Amanda Property Owner

"What a lovely little cottage."
Everything was immaculate, with fabulous facilities. The location was spot on! The welcome treats were great and we even had fresh flowers! We will definitely be back and will recommend to all our friends and family. Thanks for a great stay !!!!

"This is one of the nicest properties we've stopped in with Sykes."
Amanda's house was clean, comfortable, well laid out and had all that we needed for a perfect week in Holmfirth. There's no parking at the property itself but, after unloading, we used the nearby 'Council offices' car park which costs £2.80 a day via RingGo (location 84130). Lots of shops, bars and restaurants in Holmfirth and a large Co-op supermarket too. On a sunny weekend the cricket club is well worth a visit if there's a game on.
What a great recommendation, thanks so much, so glad you had a good visit and loved Holmfirth as much as we do! Also for mentioning the cricket Property Owner
-
"Beautifully decorated, great attention to detail."
The welcome basket full of human and doggie treats was the best we have ever had at any property ! Excellent location, right in the centre of Holmfirth.
-
"Over- Under cottage is fabulous, so comfortable bed and settee, tastefully decorated."
Amanda has thought of everything to make your stay like home. Lovely welcome hamper when we arrived, much appreciated. Will hope to be back soon.
Thank you so much, that’s lovely to hear, we hope to see you back soon too Property Owner
-
"Thoroughly enjoyed our return visit to Over-Under Cottage, this time for 5 days with much better weather and Easter treats on arrival for us and Rory our pupster- why thank you Amanda !"
We even ventured to cook 3 course meals on the days we didn’t eat out - spoilt for choice. During this visit on some days I was also working from ‘Holiday-home’ as it were - the internet connection is fab - bonus ! We discovered how to change the coloured mood lighting against the stone walls in the shower room ! Everything is spotlessly clean but even so the cupboards are well stocked with cleaning products should you need them. What we like about OUC is that you don’t need to pack and bring along all the additional items such as hairdryer, towels, tea towels, tin foil, cooking oil, salt as it’s already there along with a starter pack of tea, coffee, milk and sugar. There’s even a coffee machine with a few complimentary pods. It’s a lovely flat in the centre of Holmfirth- small but perfectly formed (lots of nice touches) so doesn’t take alot of up keep - you can just be - in comfort- wind down - the windows open listening to the flow of the river after a day of walking and visiting the local area. We will be back !
Thank you so much for another amazing review Property Owner

"Excellent little cottage ( apartment ) all you need for a few days away , clean , tidy , nicely decorated, overall very good ."
-
"Our stay at the Over-Under Cottage was very enjoyable."
The apartment was beautifully modernised, very warm and comfortable, and kitted out with virtually everything you could need. It was such a pleasure to return to after each day out! The traffic at the front was occasionally a bit noisy, but having the river at the back to gaze on was a real treat. This is highly recommended holiday accommodation!
-
"Absolutely lovely place."
Very high spec finish and very comfortable. The owners left a basket of goodies, for us and our dog and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
-
"Amanda provided me with lovely accommodation and also left some welcoming treats and all the basics that I would have had to pop out and purchase."
I shall be bookink over under cottage again.
Thanks so much Property Owner

"Great place for a base, super clean, lovely and warm, lots of little extras, handy for shops, Sainsbury's, Co-op, lovely pet shop and brilliant greengrocer, bakeries and a good selection of independent shops."
Good communication with the owner, lovely comfy bed and lush shower. Can't fault this place. We were decorating somewhere we were moving into and it was just great knowing we were going back to a lovely place, would recommend.
Thank you so much for your kind comments Property Owner

"Small but perfectly formed !"
Situated on the Main Street in Holmfirth, backing onto the river (3 tiered property from river, but two from road side) lovely flat, at street level. Everything you could need is to hand from your first cuppa, tea, coffee, milk, dark choc ginger biscuits, on arrival. Kitchen well equipped. In bedroom there’s a hairdryer, selection of coat hangers. High standards, quality fixtures and fittings and lots of lovely little touches from the owner. Amanda has thought of everything ! The welcome treats made for a great evening of Netflix and snacks on the very comfy L shaped settee -then bedroom window open falling asleep listening to the river on a gloriously comfy king size bed. Such a relaxing weekend. It was great to step out and walk around the village - visit the vibrant cafes, and shops etc in the pouring rain lol and return to the flat to cook tea. We enjoyed the fact it is on one level and easy to keep tidy - it really is a find ! Our dog loved it too ! Holmfirth is a fab village and we will definitely be back to stay in Over-under cottage
Wow, thank you so much. What a lovely recommendation Wendy, not only for us but also for our little town! We would love for you both to return, especially in the sunshine, as it’s even better Property Owner
-
"Loved our stay, perfect apartment for us and our blind dog orbi."
The facilities were perfect and very comfortable. The village is lovely with lots to do. We hope to stay again when we visit family in the area. Sorry we left vegan meatballs in the freezer, remembered when we got back to Devon
-
"We booked this amazing Apartment last minute as we had a family crisis."
We were delighted it is fabulous and really deserves its 5 star rating. My husband had lost two of his Uncles within a week of each other and he needed to come home to support his Mum during this very sad time. We didn't get chance to sleep at the apartment but it was heaven to spend some daytime there and have a coffee and relax on the very comfy sofa. We had a basket of treats left for us which was so thoughtful.. This Apartment gave us luxury and peace at our most needy time. it was immaculate and clean. Make sure you open the window at the back of the Apartment and listen to the river flowing underneath it is so relaxing. We know Holmfirth well and highly recommend a holiday here. It has everything you need and lots of hidden gems. Thank you so much Sallie Ashworth xx
Thank you so much for taking the time for this lovely review during your very sad time. So sorry to about hear your loss and hopefully you can return next year. Xx Property Owner

"The accommodation was perfect for us."
It had all the comforts we needed for our short walking holiday to the area. Central location meant eating places were numerous and close at hand if needed. There was also a very good welcome pack waiting for us which was much appreciated. Thank you.

Really enjoyed the stay in Holmsfirth, great little town with loads to explore!

The apartment was lovely, clean and well equipped. It had everything you needed, plus some nice extras provided by the hosts. Holmfirth was also a great place to stay. We would happily return again to stay here!
-
"Contemporary cottage/apartment."
High standard of furnishings Extremely well equipped I will definately return for a longer stay No parking, situated on a busy road
-
"Fantastic convenient location, stunning little apartment in such a beautiful place."
Can certainly recommend.
-
"We can not fault this apartment, it is so tastefully fitted out and the quality of workmanship is excellent."
Amanda the Host is very accommodating and her welcome pack is exceptional!! The apartment is in a good location, we stopped 4 nights and didn't move our car as plenty to do. We did some lovely walks, would recommend the circular one at Digley Reservoir passing Blackpool Bridge, we walked to Digley to start the walk, we wouldn't recommend this if you have a dog as the roads are busy in places but fine once at the Reservoir. The Catch Pub does fantastic Fish and would also recommend the Pickled Pheasant, very friendly staff. Thanks Amanda for sharing your lovely apartment.
-
"Absolutely fabulous accommodation."
Lovely welcoming pack from the hosts. Great location. Would highly recommend. We would our hosts as Super hosts.
-
"The cottage we stayed in was top quality."
All credit to the owners for the tasteful decor and providing everything you could think of to make the stay so enjoyable. Plenty to do in and around the area. Would definitely recommend it.
-
"Over- Under cottage is perfect in every way."
Very clean, cosy and well equipped. The owners have thought of everything to make a stay here very enjoyable. The cottage is very conveniently situated in the heart of Holmfirth with many beautiful walks and drives on the doorstep. Will definitely return again.
-
"A lovely cosy and comfortable cottage which was spotlessly clean."
The welcome pack was most appreciated with attention to treats rather than food basics which were readily available throughout the lovely town. Everyone we met was very friendly.
-
"Wonderful place and owner Amanda!"
I left my dog bowls behind and she posted them back straight away:)
-
"Could not fault this property, high spec finish, and cleanliness was very reassuring during these difficult times."
Very comfortable and cosy.
-
"The cottage was beautifully decorated, had everything we needed for our stay and we were made to feel so welcome."
Clearly lots of care had gone in to making sure the cottage was well equipped and the little extras made such a difference - a Netflix account and a little basket of snacks for us and treats left for the dogs kept everyone happy! The bedroom has beautiful views out the window down to river and the bathroom, although compact, had been very well laid out and had a brilliant shower! Cottage was spotlessly clean and the location was great, plenty of options for eating out and just a short walk to the shops meant we never needed to use the car. Although parking isn’t available directly outside the cottage I had no problems parking on the side of the road just past the cottage - there was always a space available.

"Can't complain about anything every thing was first class been in a few cottages ..."
Can't complain about anything every thing was first class been in a few cottages but over under was tops and holmfirth is a lovely place I would recomend to anyone
-
"We really enjoyed our stay in this comfortable, light, thoughtfully equipped and well-restored cottage."
The space is small but ideal for two people and it has been really well used so that everything necessary is there. The bed was super comfortable and we loved the crisp white bedding and towels. The kitchen has every facility needed for a holiday stay and the bathroom is very pleasant, we particularly liked the colour change lighting. The river outside the bedroom window was a bonus for us and we very much appreciated the welcome pack of goodies for ourselves and our furry friends. It was great to be right in the heart of things with shopping, food and drinks right outside the door. We had no problems parking a short distance away and were also able to park right outside for loading and unloading the car. Owner communication was spot on too. We will definitely consider another stay here.

About the location
HOLMFIRTH
Peak District National Park 3 miles; Meltham 4 miles
The old traditional Pennine town of Holmfirth is situated in the heart of the beautiful Holme Valley, on the edge of the West Yorkshire Pennines. Made famous by The Last of The Summer Wine TV series, there is more to Holmfirth than Compo and Nora Batty’s stockings! The ‘Picturedrome’, the North of England’s finest live music venue attracts many famous bands and is located right in the centre of the town. The pelotons from the Tour de France 2014 and the Tour de Yorkshire have both been through this quaint Holme Valley town en route to the iconic 524 metre Holme Moss climb two miles away. It is in these hills where cycling’s triple Olympic Medalist Ed Clancy grew up. Holmfirth also has a good public swimming pool and fitness centre, parks and some super shops and restaurants. The people here are friendly, the streets are quaint and the scenery is breathtaking. The Peak District National Park with its moors, dales, forests, lakes and reservoirs is also easily accessible. The Upper Derwent Valley, home to the spectacular Ladybower and Derwent reservoirs, and where the famous 617 ‘Dambusters’ Squadron practiced the audacious bombing raid on the Ruhr valley in 1943, is only a short scenic drive away. Slightly further is Chatsworth, the stately home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, and situated close to the market town of Bakewell, the home of Bakewell Puddings. The Yorkshire Sculpture Park, The National Coal Mining Museum, Wentworth Castle, and the Hepworth Gallery are also within short drives away and well worth a visit. For a spot of culture, Holmfirth has annual festivals with many more attractions that bring visitors back for more; such as the Folk, Arts, and Food & Drink Festivals. Also not to be missed, is Holmfirth Vineyard and Restaurant, where you can book wine tasting tours and enjoy a lovely meal in the restaurant.
