• "The holiday cottage had everything we needed."

  Bed comfortable, well equipped kitchen and super shower. Great views from the property and we visited many places. This was our first holiday with the dog and the garden was all enclosed so had no worries. We met Barbara, the owner, who was friendly and helpful.

  I’m so glad you enjoyed the cottage and found it dog friendly. Thank you for your positive comments. Property Owner

• "We had a lovely time in this cottage."

  It had everything you could wish for. Barbara and Nick were very kind. The donkeys were an added bonus when we could feed them. Thank you so much.

  We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found extra pleasure in feeding and observing the seven donkeys. Your comments are much appreciated, thank you. Property Owner

• "My wife & I stayed here for 2 weeks in September."

  It felt very homely, comfortable & we thoroughly enjoyed it, especially watching the ever changing view from each of picture windows. Our favourite room was the sun lounge with the incredible vistas, and we enjoyed playing some of the games that were left for us. The cottage was nice & clean, and Barbara, the owner, was very helpful and accommodating. My wife, who is an author (Loretta Livingstone) added one of her co-written books (Historical Stories of Exile) to the well stocked library.

  Many thanks for your heartwarming comments. Thank you too to Loretta whose book was greatly appreciated and will give pleasure to future guests who enjoy the short story genre. I look forward to seeing you in the future and discussing your literature further. Property Owner

• "Spent a week at lower cross with my husband and sister for a well deserved rest."

  The place was lovely and we genuinely appreciated our stay there. So quiet and fabulous views. The cottage has everything you need for a self catering holiday and is spic and span everywhere. Beautiful gardens back and front. We did visit lots of local places but unfortunately it rained quite a bit but didn’t spoil our plans at all. Would highly recommend lower cross to everyone. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable.

  It is so uplifting to hear that guests have thoroughly enjoyed their stay at Lower Cross. Thank you for your generous comments. Property Owner

• "Lovely well equipped property with great views."

  Plenty of amenities nearby. Also plenty of options to do things whether it be sightseeing, history or more physical activities. Only slight downside was that it wasn’t really a secure garden for a small dog, but otherwise all good.

• "One or two of the pots & pans required cleaning before use as did the inside of the microwave which was splattered with food."

  The garden room whilst a comfortable place to sit, the back door requires some adjustment. There seemed to be a problem with the washing machine spinner which didn’t seem to work? Overall we had a nice holiday & got out to see the local attractions.

  We pride ourselves on thorough cleaning and must apologise that items were missed. The door issue will be investigated but the washing machine spin is working thoroughly. There is an option to remove a spin which must have happened. It was good to chat with you and I wish you had mentioned the issues. I value feedback which will enhance guests’ stay. Property Owner

• "Excellent location for Brontë Country."

  Very personable host, available if you have any queries. Pristine newly fitted bathroom with fabulous shower. The kitchen was well equipped. Rather too much ‘old fashioned’ furniture, old rugs and far to many unnecessary ornaments for a holiday cottage. But that’s just our taste. However we had a pleasant week. Thank you.

  Thank you for your feedback and pleased you had a pleasant week. As you say, ‘personal tastes’ vary. Many guests love the rustic charm and antique rugs. Property Owner

  The views from the garden, sitting room and main bedroom are so lovely. The garden is very well maintained with plenty of seating in both front and back gardens. The inside of the bungalow is so spacious and very comfortable with plenty of seating in all rooms. Everything you could possibly need can be found in the lovely kitchen. The owner, Barbara made us very welcome and is on hand if you should need anything. There are plenty of really lovely places to visit with Howarth being literally a couple of minutes drive. We can highly recommend this property.

• "Lower Cross is comfortable and cosy and just about everything has been thought of."

  There are stunning views from the living room, main bedroom and sun room across the beautiful garden to the fields and hills beyond. The sun room is such a bonus, as you can enjoy a cup of coffee or a glass of wine whilst enjoying the view no matter what the weather. The cottage is very near to Oakworth Railway Station, where The Railway Children was filmed and to Haworth, where the Brontës lived. Grassington is approximately 30 minutes away by car where the new All Creatures Great and Small is filmed, and it's also a short drive to the impressive Malham Cove. There are many nice dog friendly pubs and cafes in Grassington, Haworth and Hebden Bridge. The surrounding countryside is breathtaking. Barbara is a very warm and friendly host.

  Everything provided that you need The car never moved as such good walks from the door incorporating pubs at Turkey Inn at Goose Eye and The Grouse which both offered good food, muddy boots and dogs. Walks can be steep in places as expected in this part of the country but then you get the good views, but manageable for us pensioners.

  One of the cleanest cottages we have stay in. Barbara the owner is next door and is ever so friendly. The only slight issue we had was the heating didn’t heat the bedrooms unless it was very high, Barbara was aware of this and boosted the boiler and is going to call an engineer out. We would recommend the property and the area to anyone.

  It was very well equipped and in the perfect position to do all the local attractions. Barbara the owner makes sure your stay is a good one but is not intrusive. She is nearby if you need anything. The cottage is also spacious with plenty of places to enjoy the views if it's not warm enough to sit in the garden. I must mention the king sized bed which is so comfortable it's like floating on air. Thank you to Barbara and family.

• "Lower Cross is a lovely and comfortable cottage."

  The kitchen is well kitted out with just about everything you might need. The beds were comfortable and there was a lovely warm welcome from the owner. The little road down to the cottage is a bit rough so he prepared but it is only a short way down the lane to get to the cottage. We were lucky to see some wildlife during our weeks stay, a lovely little wren paid a visit most days, we had a couple of visits from a tawny owl in the trees in the garden and there were bats flying round at night too. A smart TV wouldn't go a miss as there was only Freeview available but that's just a small thing and certainly didnt spoil our holiday. We would highly recommend Lower Cross.

  Some not seen since the pandemic. The welcome basket of her own chickens eggs and milk in the fridge was a lovely touch. The view across the pennines, the sound of the Worth Valley steam engine chugging through the valley was priceless. As a Yorkshire girl and so close to Haworth we were able to explore the area walked across the moors during the week was just fabulous. It felt home from home. Barbara was very welcoming and ensured we had all we needed. We will most deffinately stay again. I've already recommended it to several people.

• "Lovely secluded spot tucked away down a steepish hill so watch out for the sharp right then left hand turn although in the instructions it does warn you."

  The views were stunning as were the gardens - plenty of spots front and back for shade and sun. Seating front and back. Very quiet -occasional donkey bray from a field further down. Occasional visit from a ginger cat and 3 very well behaved chickens - all added to the country charm! The cottage was more spacious than the photos implied. Very nice kitchen with all good facilities -lovely brown eggs left by Barbara the owner who is very friendly. Just short of some eggcups. Rooms were comfortably furnished and some interesting family trinkets. You can walk to the local Co-Op about 10 mins downhill maybe 20 mins up the steep slope. Pleasant walk to the Oakworth train station and if you are a keen walker can join the 'The Railway Children Trail'. Car required for the pubs -this is the Dales things are spread out! Many lovely things to do for all interests. Railway journeys/museums/stately homes/great walks/shopping at Saltaire or Piece Hall and many other things. Only draw back is the one bathroom for 4 adults but we were aware and made plans to deal with that but with the other lovely things this was easily dealt with. Many thanks to Barbara -lovely holiday.
