Just a five minute walk and overlooking the centre of Holmfirth, Willden Cottage is a newly refurbished stone under dwelling in an ideal location to visit cafes, shops, explore the towns unique history amongst cobbled streets and as a base for walkers. Willden Cottage does not have a washing and drying facilities but for guests staying longer than 3 nights I am more than happy to do personal laundry. Please note with the bedroom having a king-sized bed (with bed side cabinet either side) rather than a double bed, it does take up more floor space so the space either side of the bed is narrow. Please beware, as an under dwelling, Willden Cottage has neighbours above and to the side so I cannot guarantee that there will be no noise during your stay. The outside seating area is a right of way access to the neighbours so it is not 100% private. LOCATION - As it is an under dwelling, access to it is down approximately 20 very uneven and steep stone steps so people who have mobility concerns need to be aware of this - please see photos. The view from the cottage is over the town and across the Holme Valley, which means it is up a hill side therefore the walk up and down to the centre consists of more stone steps behind the church and cobbles and it is situated on a narrow lane so not on a wide flat road - quite typical of many places in Holmfirth. The road that Willden Cottage is on does not get ploughed or gritted when it snows. For health and safety it has a strict no smoking and/or vaping policy and no candles are allowed. I do not use plug in air fresheners or diffusers. There is no designated parking at the property and the road that it is on is public so can be used for free but it is very narrow in places so even though there seems to be a parking space, consideration has to be given for delivery vans and emergency vehicles to pass by. Please note the road does not get ploughed or gritted when it snows.
