The location was great being a 10 minute walk through a park to the centre of Holmfirth. It's a regular house so less of a holiday location and more of a functional place with neighbours hanging their washing out outside the front door etc. Not a problem but may be interesting to other people.

When comparing prices with other similar properties be aware that a security deposit is added on to the charge and you will not be sent the code to the lock box until you've paid the deposit. You can either pay £25 or you can pay a £250 deposit that is returned less a £10 "admin" charge. It's not a huge amount of money but I was annoyed that this wasn't stated more clearly in the property description or even included in the price.

Well furnished and decorated with everything we needed. Perfect location by the river.

The designated parking space is quite a way from the front door which made unloading/loading difficult.

The well stocked kitchen and comfy beds.

The house smelled a bit of smoke, and a bit musty. The decor is a little tired and would do with a re-vamp.

The property is situated in a housing estate, because of the good weather there was noise until late.

It was tired, dirty with stained rugs and carpets. With bare bulbs hanging from the ceiling in one room. Cobwebs everywhere. Peeling paint. We were told there was parking for two cars on the drive. There is no drive. Just one allocated space 50 metres away. The outside seating area was grubby and unusable because of stinking rubbish bins. You couldn’t open the kitchen window because of the smell from outside. The inside stank of stale cigarettes. We would have found somewhere else had our son and 2 year old grandson not been on their way to join us for a family wedding

Went for a Family Memebers 30th birthday in Holmfirth. Nice and Quiet Cul De Sac. Comfortable beds, nice small river views. fairly easy to get to via sat nav

I would not say this was a dislike, but there was some dust on some of the lampshades and also on top of some of the doorframes. My sister who is a cleaner by trade pointed this out..... I would not have noticed if not shown this. Slightly further out from the centre than I thought, but again not really a dislike.

Great location and very nice property, within easy reach of Holmfirth. Well equipped kitchen with tea, coffee etc and dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid etc.

No hair dryer an the bathroom mirror was way too high for most people. I didn't particularly like the agents who managed the property from a customer service point of view.

It was a nice property, on the whole clean

Location was misleading, the key was in the door not the door safe, the hinges on the door have dropped making it hard to lock up. Not a nice smell in the front room and marks on the carpet

Location ok

The outside area at the side and back of the property could do with a good clean eg sweeping up of tree debris and the slabs power washed. The rug on the floor in the lounge was quite dirty and stained.

Ange

It was well equipped. The location was excellent.

On arrival we were met with an unpleasant smell in the lounge. We opened the windows and this helped. It was as if the carpets had been cleaned but hadn’t dried out. It smelt of wet dog but we did get used to it.

Lovely setting right by the river.
Private parking space
Comfortable
Very quiet at night

Access to the garden from the front door only, not very private. Dog had to be on a lead until you are through the gate, dog could also escape through the gap near the gate (she is quite small). More of an inconvenience than anything else. It's a good outdoor space by the river.

Very nice clean house in a quiet neighbourhood. 15 min walk to town centre and shops within 5mins. All amenities as advertised. The only downside was the communication with Host and Stay, the property managers. We had repeated messages about the verification process for two weeks prior to our stay even though we had completed it. It was unclear whether it had been resolved right up to the check in day. Multiple people responded to our messages but didn’t seem to be up to date on the issue at each stage requiring us to explain again and again what the issue was.

Excellent facilities, including internet and washing machine/dishwasher that weren’t mentioned on the advert so a nice surprise and the place was spotless. Good location for town and friendly neighbours.

Just one minor thing, could do with a rubber bath mat for the upstairs shower as it was a bit slippery.

The property is well presented and a very short drive into the peak district for some lovely walks, which is why we chose it. It is in a fairly lively housing estate so definitely isnt completely private but the neighboirs seem friendly and a lady next door even popped out to recommend a walking route and the best way to get to the closest shops (very close 2 min drive or 5-10 min walk to aldi). The location is fab for a close commute to so great walks and points of interest, I highly recommended driving 20 minutes down to the Middle Black Clough Waterfall in Glossop if you fancy hiking up a waterfall! The property is managed by a company who kept in touch regularly before and throughout our stay to ensure we had all relevant info, only negative I could really mention is the tricky lock on the front door as has been previously mentioned in other reviews.. it is very hard to lock and unlock the door but luckily we had a friend who had a knack for it so it wasn't too much trouble for us.

Good location, on a quiet estate with a river running by and within walking distance of Holmfirth. It is also very close to supermarkets and an excellent cheese shop.
The downstairs toilet is a bonus in a small property.

One of the bedrooms has no bedside lamps, wardrobe or light shade on the ceiling light.
The windows needed cleaning.
No teapot!

Good location, well equipped. Comfortable. Nice having two toilets! Useful touches in the kitchen such as frying oil, and a few other bonus condiments etc.

Front door key was difficult to use - lock was tricky and required a certain "knack" to get it to unlock. The bins (both household and recycle) were already rammed full on our arrival, so difficult to dispose of rubbish.

Location was good

Booking system wasn't good. The house smelt fusty on entry to the property. There was a lot of post dated in November so clearly hadn't been aired before we arrived. Ladybirds flying around the lights & on curtains. On opening the front windows, lounge & bedroom, found the ladybirds nesting in the window frame. About 30 fell out onto the sill. Disappointed no Christmas decorations as we've had previously from private owners. Door mat was wet through underneath

The cottage was listed as having a private driveway for 2 cars and on street parking for another 2. The only parking was an allocated parking space for number 57 on the street. There was no driveway at all.
The interior was infested with ladybirds. We arrived at
7.15pm so it was dark and we couldn't see the outside of the property. There were clusters of ladybirds in the corners of the living room, hall and our bedroom. They were also all over the curtains. When I tried to open the bedroom window before I went to bed, there were literally hundreds of them which came raining in the window. I spent about 40 mins trying to scoop them off the window sill, floor and curtains into a mug. I emptied 4 mugs down the sink. The following morning, we could see loads of them on the outside wall. I couldn't open the window for the duration of our stay. Our bedroom door did not close and there was a very grubby, dirty office chair, covered in someone's hair, left in front of the wardrobe door in our bedroom. The following morning my friends told me that when they had gone to bed in the other bedroom, there were hairs on the sheet and a rip in the duvet cover. There was no light shade in that bedroom, only a bare bulb. There were cobwebs everywhere in every room, including above our bed and in the bathroom. The moulded skirting boards were covered in dust.
The kitchen was poorly equipped for 4 people. I raised a complaint the morning after I arrived and was advised that someone would be in to remedy things. We were out for the day and when we returned, the cottage was in exactly the same state as we left it.
Host and Stay have tried to insist that someone was in but if anyone did go in, they did absolutely nothing. I have been offered a refund of £60 which is apparently the cleaning fee!! I have not yet discovered what cleaning was involved. They also advised me that the ladybird issue had apparently been ongoing for some time but that housekeeping had not reported it to them. I would never, ever stay in another property managed by Host and Stay. In view of the increased cleanliness standards required as a result of covid, the standard here was way below even a very basic standard.

Easy check in via coded key box. Great communication from the Host and Stay team. The house was very clean, great comfortable beds and a well equiped modern kitchen and bathroom. Awesome views of the nearby river and in a quiet location in a modern housing complex. WIll definitley be back again. Recommended.

If arriving after dark, the front door would benefit from a PIR activated exterior light as trying to hold my phone with light and entering the code was a bit fiddly.

The property is in a really great location and a 15 to 20 minutes walk into Holmfirth centre we were here for the Food and Drink festival which was really good. The stay here was comfortable and we were able to relax. The area is close to Lidl and the Coop to stock up on food and essentials. The property is very close to the river and some lovely views. We would be happy to stay here again.

The only thing that was a little confusing was the style of houses - back to back and we did find it a little difficult to find number 57 initially but we were assisted by some very helpful neighbours.

We loved the location of the cottage with it being right next to the river, and also how quiet and peaceful it was.

The broken toilet seat in the downstairs toilet, no wardrobe in one bedroom, and very few coat hangers in the wardrobe in second bedroom. No pictures on walls although there were hooks in place for them, and no ceiling shade or bedside lamp in the first bedroom.

smaakvol ingericht in een rustige woonwijk op loopafstand van het mooie Holmfirth. Goede uitvalsbasis om het Peak District te bezoeken.

De keukenuitrusting was aan de magere kant, weinig borden en mokken, geen schaar, kleine eettafel. De toilet bril beneden was kapot, geen lampenkap in slaapkamer. Kleine slordigheden wat zonde is, omdat het wel erg mooi is ingericht en heel schoon was.

Located within walking distance of the centre of Holmfirth with two supermarkets closeby

The cleanliness of the property was sub-standard. The oven was unusable during our stay due to a large spillage left by a previous tenant which meant once the oven was switched on, it smoked out the entire downstairs of the property. This meant we wasted food we had prepared at home to cook whilst away and had to source alternatives elsewhere. We reported this to host and stay the evening we arrived however due to the bank holiday, they could not arrange for a re clean so we couldn't use the oven for our entire stay.

As with other reviews, we found the downstairs toilet seat broken and felt that there was a real lack of care and attention paid to the property- blown lightbulbs, missing pictures and large cobwebs hanging from the ceiling.

Was it good location 15 min walk from town by the river.
Was very clean and good standard of kitchen.

On a housing estate. Not very private people can walk across your window. The car parking space is the other end of the row of houses so you cannot see it.
The house is very in personal no pictures on the walls in-fact hooks up but no pictures.
Very poor book in the house not alot of instructions or help.
One bedroom door will not shut which had been reported on previous review and downstairs toilet seat broken and the upstairs seat would not stay up.
Still nice house but could be excellent with bit more care I felt was not value for money measuring it against previous property’s I have stayed in.

The property is very pleasant overall and very central. it was suitable for a couple of nights but not sure it would be good for any longer periods.
the best thing about it was how central it was, whilst being in a very quiet area. Walking distance to everywhere and a lovely setting overall.

We found the house a little impersonal. Picture hooks around the walls but no pictures, light fitting in one bedroom was missing, one of the bedroom doors didn’t close (not ideal when used by couples), one of the bedrooms had no wardrobe whatsoever. The kitchen was equipped but only with 4 or 5 of each item, which meant the dishwasher was quite pointless as we needed to wash everything after each use.

This house is well-situated for all of the shops being a short walk into Holmfirth. There are excellent riverside and woodland walks just a stone’s throw away.
The house was very clean and had everything we needed.
The only thing I would say is that there is a bit of a walk to your parking space if you have a lot of luggage.
There is a gated patio for dogs, but if your dog is any kind of escape artist it is not suitable, but there is a green right outside the front door for toilet breaks.
We would stay here again.
