Self-Catering Holiday Cottage in Silkstone
For more information please get in touch
Welcome to The Cottage, The Cross, Silkstone, South Yorkshire, a stone built, detached self-catering cottage nestled within the Pennines and only a short distance from the Waggon Way, Husker pit, Pot House Hamlet, and the beautiful Trans Pennine Trail.
This historic Old Tommy Shop, now known as The Cottage, has a story with roots in South Yorkshire’s mining heritage. It was the place where wages were paid to miners and workmen. The men were then expected to lay out a part of their money for the good of the shop. Tommy means bread or a penny roll, or the food taken by a workman in his handkerchief; it also means goods in lieu of money.
The Cottage has previously been used as a family home and a doctor’s surgery but has now been lovingly refurbished by its local owner into a cosy, eclectic holiday cottage for families, friends, walkers, dog walkers, and cyclists. And people who are looking to explore and enjoy a Yorkshire leisure break with local food and beer, in the surroundings of a picturesque countryside village.
