  • "What an absolutely beautiful property!"

    Everything is catered for to a high standard and we felt comfortable straight away upon entering. It certainly is a ‘home from home’. The bedrooms were beautiful and the bath is to die for! The underfloor heating kept us nice and cozy and the open plan downstairs was perfect for us as we had plenty of space! We even had the added bonus of the sheep in the nearby field gracing us with their presence on the last morning. We will certainly be looking to book again as we had such a fantastic time as a family of three!

  • "We stay at Sykes cottages alot."

    We are 2 couples. Black House cottage was up there with the very best. We were 'at home', as soon as we arrived. Welcomed by Claire one of our hosts. The cottage was warm, comfortable and had everything we needed for a really relaxing week. The surrouding area was ideal for a steady walk and the Bee Hive pub was a short stride, where the atmosphere and food were lovely. Thank you, Claire and David for a wonderful stay in your special place. We will be back. Sue, Paul, Sue and Barry.

  • "This was one of the best stays we’ve had and we will definitely be returning."

    The owners have created a real home from home and gave us the warmest of welcomes we’ve ever received on a holiday let. Accommodation is so comfortable with under floor heating (we were there in -7degrees) and everything you could need. We visited nearby Hebden Brigde, Haworth and Halifax which were so close by and well worth the visit.

  • "Great property and loved our time there."

    Great views especially with the snow and lovely walks around the reservoir just down the road. Forgot to mention to Claire that tv tries to play sound through Bluetooth speaker as default but because boom box is not plugged in (is in boiler room) there is then no sound. Someone who is not tech savvy might not know how to switch to tv speaker so thought I would mention it!

Where you’ll be staying

RIPPONDEN

Sowerby Bridge 3 miles; Hebden Bridge 8 miles.

The Calderdale village of Ripponden is set in the rural Pennine landscape, three miles from Sowerby Bridge, in the Ryburn Valley. The village is made up of traditional stone-built cottages, and a small high street with shops, cafes, an award-winning restaurant, takeaways, several excellent pubs serving food and real ale, and a local supermarket, with the River Ryburn flowing gently through the centre. Located at the heart of the Industrial Revolution, pretty old weaving villages are found in the surrounding hills. The area is also of archaeological note for its Roman road, Neolithic and Bronze Age remains. Upon Rishworth Moor, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and home to many rare animals, can be found the Cat Stones, a series of ancient round barrow burial sites. Ripponden village is also noted for the annual Rushbearing Festival each Autumn, featuring dance troupes including Morris Dancers from all over the country. Nearby is Hebden Bridge, a diverse, bohemian town home to restaurants, bars, bistros, markets, an independent cinema, art galleries, and the Rochdale Canal. A scenic car ride over the moors takes you to the Parsonage Museum which commemorates the famous Bronte family. A short drive in the opposite direction takes you to the heart of ‘Last of the Summer Wine’ country. Numerous listed buildings and National Trust properties are close by. The Haworth area is also a must for steam railway enthusiasts who will enjoy the thriving Worth Valley Railway.
