Set in a traditional terrace in the village of Holmbridge, this two-bedroom family cottage puts the landscapes and heritage of the South Pennines right on the doorstep. After a day exploring the hills, return home to rest tired legs in front of the crackling wood burner.

Enter via the small hall and make your way into the inviting lounge, where a striking stone fireplace creates a natural focal point. Sink into the sofa in front of the TV or light the wood burner when evening temperatures drop, with the dining table beside the window giving you a lovely outlook over the countryside. Next door, the contemporary kitchen has statement flooring and everything needed for straightforward self-catering, along with views across the greenery while you cook. A neighbouring utility room houses the laundry facilities. Upstairs, the two bedrooms comprise a king-size room and a bunk bedroom, with both sharing the nearby shower room. Although there’s no garden, a small outdoor seating area gives you somewhere to sit with a morning coffee before heading out for the day. On-street parking is available for one car.

Wander into the village to discover its historic cricket field and friendly local inn, which has a beer garden and serves food and drinks throughout the day. Brownhill Reservoir is less than 100 metres away, with waterside walks leading through the countryside. Holmfirth (2 miles) is known for its cobbled streets, surrounding hills and connections with Last of the Summer Wine. Browse its shops, settle into a local inn or stop for a meal before venturing further into the hills. Glossop is 12 miles from home and opens the door to the rugged Dark Peak, while the Pennine Way passes by the hamlet of Crowden, 7 miles from your door.

We had a lovely stay at Sanctuary Cottage. The property is very well presented and clearly loved by the owners. When we arrived we had been left treats for our labrador and sweets and Prosecco for us. We thought parking on the narrow road outside might be an issue, but it was never a problem. There are some various good walks close by and we'd recRead moreommend the food and drink at The Pickled Pheasant which is a short walk down the road. Hide

A fabulous little cottage up on a hillside road leading to several walks around local reservoirs and woodland. Equally the village centre was a downhill stroll of 10 minutes. The cottage is immaculate, with every possible facility needed to feel like home. Recommended!

Very well modernised cottage using quality materials, kitchen goods, great bed, quality blinds etc. The cottage is in a quiet road and the local village is within easy walking reach. Recommend the walk to the deep Ramsden Clough, the good food served in the local pub and the local eggs available just up the road. The history of the local mills & ocRead morecasional destructive floods, described in a cottage booklet, is very interesting. Hide

Absolutely immaculate cottage. The attention to detail in the workmanship on the property is high level. The location was perfect for walks with the dog. Great local pub and 30 minute walk into Holmfirth
