Our second stay and we love the cottage. Our dogs remembered it too. Pip dashed through the door straight to the dog toy box! We love the safe, enclosed patio garden. Peace of mind to be able to leave all the doors open in hot weather. The cottage is cool in the heat, but cosy in winter. Thanks for a great stay.

This was a new location for me for a short break and really opened my eyes to this area of Yorkshire.

The cottage is ideally situated for accessing a wide variety of places. We enjoyed retail therapy at Meadowhall, local walks around Silkstone and a day out in the Peak District after a short drive around the outskirts of Sheffield.

The cottage was comfortable and had everything you could want or need and was quiet and cosy.

Will be booking again to explore further.

This is our 3rd stay (2 adults, 2 teenagers and 3 dogs). We love it here, the cottage is so fully equipped for dogs and humans that we just need to pack toiletries and clothes.

The beds are the comfiest we've slept in away from home. The garden is secure and paved so no messy feet to clean and there's a fantastic walk from the doorstep.

We've stayed in several dog friendly cottages around the UK, and this is by far the best! 😍
