"Booked for a second visit in June whilst still at the property."
Lovely canal side cottage perfect for visiting family and walking the dog.

"Absolutely loved our stay!"
Fantastic location and lovely cottage with everything we needed.
-
"Beautiful setting with lots of lovely walks to either Uppermill or Diggle along the canal."
Very clean and comfortable and once we'd set up the heating appropriately warm too (was very cold on arrival)! Bathroom and kitchen very modern with underfloor heating. The dishwasher failed to open and we contacted the owner received the text "I'm at work", ? However, it is a lovely property and beautiful location so would revisit.
Dear Mrs Campbell Thank you for your feedback, I’m really glad you enjoyed your visit but I can only apologise for the temperature in the property upon your arrival and the poor response with your dishwasher troubles. The guest contact is our cleaner and I have called to discuss her lack of follow up with you. I do hope you consider us for a future visit to the area. Thanks again for staying with us Kindest regards Nicola Property Owner

"The property is in a great location and the proportion of the each room is good."
But overall the property is tired, dated, and in need of a lot of updating and maintenance; the kitchen utensils are old and cheap and the kitchen itself needs a really good clean! We stayed in many properties via Airbnb, Cottages.com and Skyes Cottages ....and this was by far the worst!
Dear Mr Brooks I very much appreciate your honest feedback, and I’m sorry to hear how disappointed you were with the property and its facilities. Could you tell me which kitchen items were less than satisfactory, and indeed would you have any recommendations for particular brands that I could replace them with? All utensils are only 12 months old and so it has shown me that the durability of these items should be considered very carefully. Any other specific recommendations for the property in general would equally be appreciated. I do hope that despite these grievances you were able to enjoy a pleasant stay in the area. Property Owner

"Had a lovely stay at wool rd, everything was clean and comfortable, we would definitely recommend to friends and family."

"Generally the house was well presented clean and tidy the instruction of how to activate the heating could be improved as we had a problem, thankfully the cleaner came and sorted it."
We would return again unfortunately my parents found it unsuitable due to the steep staircase which had no banister/grab rail. The steep staircase should be declared only for consideration by the elderly or parents of young children and should take nothing from the very old buildings character which has been tastefully presented with nice walks along the canal which has a lot of history.

It’s a nice cottage right next to a lock , I was up here working , the cottage has great heating in the kitchen and bathroom but was not working anywhere else so was very cold

"Lovely property and area."
Perfect size for our group. Comfy beds and lounge. Kitchen well stocked but wish there had been a few more plates. The patio at the front was slippery when it rained but this could be easily fixed. Highly recommend the property and location.

Where you’ll be staying
UPPERMILL
Diggle 3 miles; Oldham 5 miles; Huddersfield 15 miles.
Uppermill is one of seven villages situated amongst the 18,0000 acres of moorland hills, open fields and scenic valleys that comprise the Saddlworth area. These Pennine villages have a wool spinning and agricultural heritage dating back to the Industrial Revolution, but today Saddleworth has evolved into an attractive South Pennine and Peak District National Park area with breathtaking views and glorious stone built buildings. Upper Mill is a thriving village popular with tourists with a good range of amenities including plenty of restaurants, cafes and pubs, as well as a growing number of craft shops. Part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, it is located close to the recently restored Standedge Canal Tunnel, Britain's longest, deepest and highest canal tunnel. The canal which runs through the town provides opportunities for traffic-free walks along the towpath, fishing and boating. There is one unique sport local to Uppermill called "cobbling". It involves a barrel of cobblestones, a closed road and a bag of cement - come and visit to find out more. Saddleworth is home to a wide range of festivals and community events, the most famous of which is the Whit Friday Band contest, which attracts the UK’s and Europe’s top brass bands and was the backdrop to the film ‘Brassed Off’. Nearby attractions include Dovestones Reservoir for boating and walks, and the Castleshaw Valley with an interpretation trail for a Roman fort, the highest of a series built on the Roman military road from Chester to York.
