"The most beautiful house, and it just made the whole wedding weekend even more special."
-
"We spent a short, three-day break at the property with friends (three mature couples) and were very impressed with everything about Woodlea."
It would be tedious to go into the minutiae, but I would say that it felt less like being in a rental property than being valued guests in someone's home. The facilities were fantastic, the building fascinating, the views fabulous and the neighbours very friendly. Everything worked as it should, the decor was homely and of a very high standard, and the area around Almondbury is delightful. All-in-all, a lovely wee break in a beautiful house and setting.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're so pleased to hear that your stay at Woodlea Cottage felt more like being a valued guest than simply renting a property—that’s exactly the experience we hope to create. It’s great to know you enjoyed the facilities, the charm of the building, and the warm welcome from the neighborhood. Almondbury is indeed a lovely area, and we’re thrilled you had such a fantastic break. We’d love to welcome you back in the future! Property Owner

The property
Settled in a beautiful location in the hills of West Yorkshire Woodlea Cottage provides a truly serene setting for those looking for an idyllic getaway filled with exploration.
This quintessential Grade II listed cottage thoughtfully blends contemporary with character creating a dreamy home-from-home.
It lies in a fantastic location beneath Victoria Tower on Castle Hill which dates back to the Iron Age.
The historic cottage is tucked away near the village of Almonbury, which is referenced in The Doomsday Book, and is south facing, adorned with beautiful wisteria and encompassed by the picturesque countryside.
It overlooks the valley and its beautiful woods.
The cottage retains its charm and pays homage to its rich history with a wealth of original features including mullion windows, exposed beamed ceilings, woodburning stove and open fireplace yet offers contemporary conveniences.
It also benefits from a patio garden to the front and a courtyard to the rear which are both ideally placed for alfresco dining.
Find three off-road parking spaces before being welcome into the entrance hall sitting room home to two plush armchairs, a crackling woodburing stove and an extending dining table offer opportunities to savour dinner in front of the stove’s gentle warmth.
Make your way through the cottage to find the fully-equipped kitchen where you can whip up tasty meals ahead of raising a celebratory toast in the courtyard.
Later, head into the second sitting room and relax into the sumptuous sofa in front of the TV as the open fire glistens nearby; the musical among you may even want to treat your loved ones to a tune on the piano!
The ground floor is completed by a handy utility and cloakroom.
Follow the stairs up to the first floor, where you will find a beautiful bathroom and a sleek shower room, perfect for washing away the day’s adventures, along with four well-appointed bedrooms; three doubles, one with en-suite bathroom, and a twin, all of which enjoy breath-taking countryside views.
If you can tear yourself away from this idyllic setting, head out to explore the many beautiful villages in the area, namely Holmfirth, Honley, Slaithwaite, Marsden, Hebden Bridge and Haworth home of the Brontes, all of which are bursting at the seams with character and are designed to be explored.
Immerse yourself in the area’s culture and heritage at The Yorkshire Sculpture Park, The Hepworth Art Gallery and The Salt Mills which are all just a short scenic drive from Woodlea.
The cottage is a haven for keen ramblers thanks to its picturesque setting between four national parks, The Peak District, The Yorkshire Dales, The Lake District and The North York Moors which all house a plethora of walks, trails and hiking opportunities providing guests with endless opportunities for breath-taking views and picturesque panoramas.
There are also a myriad of walks and trails through the uninterrupted countryside from the cottage’s front door!
All this and more awaits at Woodlea Cottage.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £500.
