• "Really nice stay."

  After a very surprising and unfortunate previous stay in a Sykes property this was a welcome return to the standard we expect. We could not fault the Salt Pot a lovely cottage in a nice location.

• "It’s a wonderful place to stay we have stayed here twice now and would definitely recommend staying here."

  The place is in a great central location to use as a base to go and visit the likes of Haworth, hebden bridge and Skipton. It was great to see the improvements they have made since last year. If you are an animal lover it’s a must too meet Byron the cat who has a tendency to just walk in when your back is turned and the two loveable dogs Bella and Delilah. Can’t wait to come back again next year!

  Aw thank you! It’s been a lot of work to put up the outside room for the cottage but we hope it will give guests more space and a proper covered garden :) see you next year! X Property Owner

• "We had a very nice, relaxing stay at The Salt Pot."

  The owner was extremely helpful after our Sat-Nav crashed. The views are so beautiful, views of the moors are breathtaking. There are many facilities in the area. We did manage to visit many of them during our stay. The cottage is very well equipped. There are even a couple of fans in the cottage. The heating is extremely efficient. You only need it on for a short time and the radiators stay warm for ages. There is also a gas cooker, (LPG) I do prefer a gas cooker. The whole week was very relaxing and enjoyable. Thank You very much.

  It was like a stay in a magical place but with all mod cons. The location was brilliant like being in/on Wuthering Heights and the Salt Pot had everything we required and more. Our hosts Rebecca and Alec were there when needed (only once) .Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful cottage with us.

• "Just returned from a wonderful holiday in Salt Pot Cottage on Pepper Pot Farm."

  We were tucked into the hillside and totally surrounded by lush green fields, stone farm houses and barns, trees and moorlands.Fantasic views from the cottage. The cottage is within easy reach of some of the most notable places in the region e.g. East Riddlesdon Hall and Howarth. The owners were so kind and helpful and obviously pride themselves on ensure guests are comfortable and cosy and have a memorable holiday.

• "This is a wonderful holiday property."

  It's full of high end specifications and appliances and has been designed to a great finish. Comfortable, clean, amazing views and very peaceful. I booked the property to get some writing done and it was ideal for that. Run by a lovely couple who are there should you need them but in no way intrusive. Perfect if you really need to get away from it all. Very much recommended.

  Out of the way but not too far to local amenities and pubs etc - totally recommend the Fleece in Hawarth! Cottage itself was immaculate and had everything you could need with the most comfortable bed you could wish for. Only saw the hosts once or twice as they take a back seat, which is fine but, they were very nice and are there if you need them. Hoping to return in the future.

• "We had a wonderful few days at the cottage and it definitely had everything we needed and more."

  The quirkiness and setting set it off from anywhere we have stayed before. The surroundings were so scenic and peaceful and yet you are not far from Howarth, Keighley and the Worth valley railway and other places of interest. The cottage was spacious and yet cosy and each time we returned there was something we hadn't spotted before. Amazing use of copper and such a vast kitchen with both retro and modern items. The added bonus of the log burner made for very cosy evenings and the sauna unit in the bedroom with its lovely coloured lighting is definitely a relaxing space. Rebecca and Alec were the perfect hosts and on hand for anything we needed throughout our stay. We wouldn't hesitate to book again and hope we can return in the not too distant future. Thank you

• "The Salt Pot is a delightfully unique cottage."

  It has lot of quirky interesting features which makes it feel cosy and welcoming. Set in the beautiful landscape of the Yorkshire Dales with its twisty roads. The cottage transports you to a quieter simpler time away from the hustle and bustle of the 2020's. We found the kitchen well equipped with plenty of storage. The woodfire is lovely to use giving that homely feel. The bedroom and living room are comfortable and in good repair. The quiet of the area and the bed makes sleeping a delight. Our favourite room however is the cloakroom toilet with its wonderfully interesting plumbing work of a wooden high cistern and bell tap. Brilliant. We will return.

  Thank you so much ! We are glad you love it here as much as we do! I’m always on the lookout for new and quirky items to include in the cottage so hopefully there’ll be other items to see if you come again ;) Best, Rebecca Property Owner

• "The cottage is a great place to relax and recharge your batteries however changing one or two small things would catapult it into the superb category!"

  The bed is comfortable enough but the mattress does have specific body dents on both sides and, imho, both the pillows and duvet feel very cheap and have no substance to them. Don’t get me wrong we weren’t cold during the night as the weather was still quite decent but it wouldn’t take much of a temperature drop to change that. The curtains in the living room would be very much easier to use on a rail instead of poles, might seem a little bit picky but for those of us who have with arthritic hands it’d be like night and day. On one of our shopping trips we bought a roll of black bags as despite an extensive search we couldn’t find any until our last evening when we found a couple sandwiched between the internal and external parts of the bucket. It’s a lovely, quirky place and you can tell there’s a lot of work been put into it however a wee step back just to take a fresh look at where some small improvements could escalate the cottage into the premier division would be the way forward!

  Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate the positive points and will learn from the negative ones! We don’t want to appear too sensitive to criticism as it’s all useful, but just to note that as we did everything in our power to make you feel welcome, and you talked to us extensively and seemed to like the cottage, it is really disappointing as it damages our overall rating quite a bit and we would have done anything to help while you were here. We will of course undertake a full review of your points at the next changeover. Please be assured that nothing we have put in the cottage is cheap, and the duvet in particular was a lower tog due to the unseasonably warm weather and because the cottage can get very warm. We review appropriate bedding (we use synthetic hypoallergenic bedding in case of allergies) in advance of each guest taking into account the season and weather. The mattress was new last year but we will of course look at it! We will look at the curtain rails too — we hadn’t previously experienced any issues and — as you will have seen — we use as much wood in the construction and design of the cottage as we can, and cheap metal isn’t an option for us, but we will look into antique brass options in due course. On kitchen bin supplies - we provide two black bin bags for each set of guests with the second bag folded in the bottom of the bin — we think this is fairly standard. I’m sorry though if the spare bag was not obvious when you emptied the bin or if it got dislodged somehow. All the best, Rebecca Property Owner

• "The Salt Pot is a great place for 2 to stay with everything you need to be comfy and cosy in good or bad weather."

  Gives the feeling of being remote tho you’re only about 10-15 mins by car to Keighley or Haworth. After heavy rain we weren’t too keen on tramping over the moors but we found some great circular walks taking in the Leeds - Liverpool canal. Cliffe Castle Museum, gardens (free) and cafe are well worth a visit. The welcome pack of essentials was much appreciated especially eggs from owners Rebecca and Alec’s chickens. Didn’t get chance to use wood burner or sauna but if we revisit the area we’d definitely stay again so might do then. Thanks for a lovely holiday.

  On site parking is next to the property which is always very important to us. It’s obvious that the owners take a pride in their cottage. Only minus factor was the uncomfortable sofa. Bed was very comfortable.

  Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you found one of the sofas uncomfortable. We aren’t sure which one and haven’t had other feedback on this issue. One sofa is quite soft (the 3-seater), and the other one (2-seater) is firmer — by design as we have a range of guests who prefer different levels of support. I hope this helps.

  The whole cottage is beautifully presented throughout, with real care and attention having gone in to the features, decor, and general vibe. No IKEA basics here, unlike a lot of holiday lets! Very comfortable bed with easily enough room for two big lads such as us. Ditto the sofa, where we ended up spending most of our time. The kitchen is well equipped with equipment and utensils - certainly everything we needed to prepare several meals during our stay. The isolated location offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and beautiful dark skies at night, while still being handy enough for shopping in Keighley, Skipton or Colne. Overall, one of the best cottages we've stayed at, if not the absolute best, and we won't hesitate to book in again next time we're visiting this part of the country.

• "What a beautiful cottage."

  We loved every second. Everything was spot on. Milk and biscuits so that we could make a brew as soon as we got there. Eggs for breaky laid by the owners hens. Such a thoughtful touch. We enjoyed the local walks from the doorstop as well as travelling a little further afield to our favourite places in Wharfedale. Watching the sun sets from the bench at the bottom of the garden was truly magical. I think the only thing that could be done to improve is to have an outdoor seating area closer to the cottage where one could sit out and have meals whilst taking in the views. Weather dependant of course. Perhaps by closing off part of the parking area. I know the owners haven’t been there very long so perhaps this is still a work in progress. Other than that we would 100% recommend Salt Pot Cottage. Thank you.

• "The Salt Pot is a delightful quirky property and the hosts, Rebecca and Alex, could not have been more friendly and helpful."

  We had a wonderful long weekend in a most interesting area, visiting the Bronte Parsonage,Haworth, East Riddlesden Hall and the Worth Valley Railway. Unfortunately it is not easy for elderly clients who are tall and do not bend easily! Many of the appliances and even the bed (Super comfortable) were low and made life difficult for two octogenarians. Highly recommended for younger people, though.

  Thank you for your feedback, which is always welcome! Just for the benefit of any future guests with concerns, the appliances referred to (fridge/freezer, washing machine, dishwasher and range cooker) are all normal floor-standing, standard-sized models and you can see these in the photos of the property. Given the nature of these appliances, and that the kitchen units were hand-built out of reclaimed oak and pine around them, I’m afraid that raising them off the floor just wasn’t an option for us. The top of the mattress on the bed is approximately 60 cm off the ground. We hope that helps! Property Owner
