Set in rolling countryside on the edge of the owners' working farm, this beautiful cottage provides the ideal base for families and couples to explore this historic part of West Yorkshire

Savour a stay at this outstanding, West Yorkshire cottage set on a working farm. Inviting couples and small families, the gorgeous two-bedroom hideaway is situated at Lightcliffe, 1 mile from Hipperholme and 4 miles from Halifax. With generous space and a private patio for basking in the sunshine, the enticing retreat is the perfect place to return home to after trips into the Peak District, 11.5 miles away, or the Yorkshire Dales, 20 miles away.

Make your way in and head through to the lovely kitchen/diner to unpack the delicious Yorkshire produce you have bought and prepare a homecooked meal for your party to enjoy at the table. Perch up at the breakfast bar with a cup of strong Yorkshire tea as dinner roasts or wander through to the lounge to unwind for a while in front of the Smart TV/DVD. Open the doors to the patio in here on bright, sunny days so everyone can wander out into the fresh air as the mood takes them. There is also a handy WC downstairs. The family bathroom and the bedrooms are up on the first floor of the property. These include a beautiful king-size room and a bunk bedroom that the younger members of the family will adore. Outside, light the BBQ on fine days then cook and dine under the setting sun. Linger out here under the stars on summer nights.

Visit Shibden Hall, 2.5 miles away, where Anne Lister, the subject of the TV series Gentleman Jack, once lived. Take the youngsters for a fun trip out to Eureka! The National Children’s Museum, 4 miles away in Halifax. Plan a day out to charming Holmfirth, 12.5 miles away, where the BBC series Last of the Summer Wine was filmed, then venture into the Peak District, 2.5 miles further on, for a scenic walk.

The cottage was very tastefully decorated and clean. The bathroom was a little small and the door to the bathroom and the master bedroom did not close properly. There were a couple of light bulbs not working either. The welcome basket was a lovely touch, thank you. The location was great for exploring the area and we used the Sun Inn for eating andRead more drinking. It was nice and very welcoming. Hide

The cottage is beautifully presented, clean and perfect for 3 to 4 people. Quiet location and good amenities. Perfect location as close to the Yorkshire Dales and easy access to M62.

Well presented property,with excellent layout . We rented it to be close for us to be involved with a family celebration over our week there. This worked well for us, but did mean drive time to the Dales and Peak District were longer than expected,for us.

Warm, comfortable and spacious accommodation. Good off road parking. Quiet but within reach of shops and pubs. We found The Sun Inn very welcoming with good food and just 5mins walk from the cottage. We visited Shibden Hall and the Piece Hall in Halifax and even did a few local walks in spite of the wet weather.
