  Beautiful location, the cottage has everything we needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay. The extra touches, like treats for the dogs, cookies for humans, all much appreciated. The cottage is immaculately presented and the owner is easy to contact. We'll be back!

• "What a fabulous, not so little, cottage!"

  We spent a month here, waiting for our house purchase to go through. It's in an idyllic location with lots of lovely walks on the doorstep. Jenny and her family were fabulous hosts. The cottage had everything we could possibly think of, making us totally self-sufficient. The beds were really comfortable and the cottage was always warm, even when it snowed. The log burning fire was a lovely addition, very cosy on a winter's day/evening. We would definitely recommend this cottage for long, or short, stays!

• "We stayed at Boshaw Cottage during the Christmas period and it was perfect."

  The cottage was cosy, well furnished and was everything we needed for a restful festive retreat. It was immaculately clean, well decorated and the welcome pack was a lovely touch after our long journey. The beds were comfortable, warm and welcoming. The bathroom with both a shower and a roll top bath (special touch) were welcome after some cold walks. The fire warmed the whole house up quickly and was a beautiful feature of the living room. It is beautifully located at the top of the hill in Hade Edge looking over the village and reservoir. There was plenty of walks from the doorstep and maps provided. The Bowshaw trout is the local pub (only 192 steps - yes we counted) which offers delicious pub grub, stunning views and local ale. Thank you Jenny, for excellent communication and helping us promptly. It was the most wonderful cottage, highly recommend staying here. Just a note, the directions could be updated to say Bowshaw Trout as a different pub name is given. Thank you again.

  Despite it being very cold outside it was cozy and warm inside. The cottage is well equiped , clean and has gorgeous views. Great pub with friendly staff and great food only 2 minutes walk from the cottage. Farm shops 5 mins walk away. Walking paths straight from the cottage. It took us just under an hour to stroll to Holmfirth. Jenny was on hand if we needed her. We hope to come back.

• "Our stay at this cottage was lovely and that is thanks to Jenny."

  We found the cottage immaculately clean and well maintained on arrival and well equipped with everything that a family could need whilst self catering. The kitchen is well equipped with everything in excellent working order and the bedding and towels were lovely, new and fresh smelling. The free standing bath is absolutely lovely for a long soak and it was nice to have the separate shower as well. Beds and chairs were reasonably comfortable and it was nice to see good quality mattress and pillow protectors had been provided. The cottage is very peaceful and ideal for a relaxing break and well situated for dog walks. We really appreciated the shortbread and milk on arrival as well as dog treat biscuits and even dog bags and a dog bed. We can highly recommend the local farm shop to get delicious sausages, pasties and pies and other treats! We visited Holmefirth and Castleton so this is a good base for both Yorkshire and Derbyshire. We hope to visit again soon!

• "A lovely modern and super clean cottage with everything needed for a comfortable short break."

  Just as pictured, although no reference to the corner stairs at top of staircase and a small ramp across middle of landing floor. My 77 yr old Mum with a bad knee and not used to stairs, struggled to navigate up and down freely. Might have reconsidered if had known. Also put back lamp on landing for night time trips to bathroom as the ramp is tight between both bedrooms and bathroom. Nevertheless, the cottage has everything except a dishwasher. Very limited phone signal, no WiFi but managed a signal at top of staircase only. Superb location, shouting distance to a super friendly and busy pub. Great area for walkers, or country drives. Super close to Holmfirth and its vineyard with great views. Also visited winscar resorvior short drive away. Property and its location ticks all the boxes

• "We had a lovely stay at the cottage."

  We all loved the view and how much it changed with the weather. The pub at the bottom of the road was lovely, our dog loved it. She was provided with treats, water and even a bed to sit in. We visits the town and has a lovely relaxing time. The Cottage beds were really comfortable as was the sofa and one of the chairs. We all found the chair by the window a bit uncomfortable. That and the stairs being tight. But really what can you expect for a cottage of this age. As for the stairs, our old blind dog managed to manoeuvre them with in a couple of days. Top marks all round from us. Would gladly stay again.

  Everything about the place is juste absolutly perfect. The accommodation, the surrounding, the équipement, the horses and the sheep… my 11 years old just didn’t want to leave the place and neither did I. It was truly a wonderful experience and we are looking for coming back this summer to enjoy the place under the sun ( we stayed there in February and it’s my first time in the uk where the place is warm all day long!) As you can guess we absolutely loved the place!

• "The views from the cottage were just beautiful and wonderful to look at when you were in cottage."

  The cottage was comfortable to stop in with the nice feel of the log burner at night, we only used this one night to cook some toast as we love toast done on a log burner, we were disgusted with the state of the cottage as most of the cottage looked as though it hadn’t been cleaned in a while, you walk around the lounge or kitchen and you’d either get black feet or black socks disgusting to say they were mopped when we turned up to start our holiday the owner/cleaner was still there so we were late going in and that wasn’t a good start to the holiday, on the tv screen there’s about 2 inches of dust you can’t hardly see the picture of the tv through disgusting, spider webs everywhere, the log fire had been used by the previous people and not been cleaned out, outside the property by the grass is a deep hole and my small dog went down it head first a few times then we had to block it off as one of the times my dog went down head first in the hole she’d cut her neck open so my husband had to put some logs in the hole while I stopped the bleeding of my dogs neck we took her to vets to get her checked out and they gave her antibiotics just in case of infection, me, my husband and our dog Lucky won’t be going back there again only good thing was the views you had.

  Hi , Thank you for your feed back as you can see I normally get positive feed back so I'm sorry you felt the cottage wasn't satisfactory. Comments have been taken on board and I would like to reassure people that the external area that you mentioned has been checked, there is a drain with a cast iron cover, no other holes have been found.

• "A return visit to the cosy Boshaw cottage during a bitterly cold week."

  With minus temperatures outside, it was lovely to have the indoor fireplace (though it was quite hard work to keep the fire going, even for experienced ppl). The Christmas tree and the lovely lights were a welcome addition in mid-Dec. What makes this cottage exceptional is that it's super clean, has a very cosy living room, has lovely views and is very well-located. Plus a fantastic hot shower and a fantastic bathtub.The excellent WiFi means that I happily relied on it for work purposes (including conducting an interview). In an ideal world, there'd be a dishwasher instead of a washing machine, a chest of drawers in the right bedroom, some medium-sized bowls, and a bathroom bin with a lid. Very minor quibbles as we have already spoken about booking again, so overall, we still love the place. The kitchen does have a separate freezer by the way (current listing does not have this). My packing tips would be slippers as the kitchen floor is cold and any washing powder/pods if you want to use the washing machine. Finally, Longley Farm is just down the road so I do recommend doing an online Click & Collect order for before you come!

  Everything was as you would hope for and we felt very much at home immediately. Our grandsons stayed with us and quickly found the stash of toys, which were in really good condition. Grandad was delighted with the TV and internet connection. The kitchen is well equipped and we all appreciated the tea, coffee, milk, biscuits and chocolates. Thanks for a lovely stay.

  Comfortable and thoughtfully decorated cottage, had everything we needed. Beautiful views from the windows, loved sitting in the lounge looking at the hills. Welcome milk and treats were appreciated after a long journey. Great shower, mini toiletories even provided in the bathroom. In a good location, 7 mins drive from the centre of Holmfirth. We had a lovely Sunday roast at the Bowshaw trout at the end of the road, Totties garden centre 5 mins drive also do a great bacon roll with stunning views. Also enjoyed a fishy feast at Catch and a tasty mexican from Mexicali in Holmfirth. Yorkshire sculpture park is 25 minutes drive away and well worth a visit. We would like to come back.

• "Whilst the cottage was comfortable and very clean and a great base for walking holidays, as a dog owner I couldn't recommend as a suitable property for dogs to stay."

  It should be made clearer in description that there is no enclosed space - small front garden is shared and it's unsuitable to be used as a facility for dogs as the space is also used by small children. Dog owners also need to be aware that dogs have to be on lead at all times in surrounding lanes due to proximity of sheep/livestock.

  This listing needs updated by the owner as this is still being advertised with the pub being open which is clearly not the case. Also the photo of the garden is misleading as this is a shared garden with 2 other cottages, and another garden in front of it through a gate but this is for private use only and the main photo you show, looks like you can have access to this which you can’t.
