2 Bed in Holmbridge (oc-s44882)

Part of a terrace of traditional cottages in Holmbridge, this two-bedroomed retreat offers an authentic taste of South Pennines life. The area around the village was once home to textile mills, many of which were lost to reservoir building in the late 19th and early 20th century. Today, attractive walks lead around many such watersides – start with a stroll to Brownhill Reservoir, which is within 100 metres of your doorstep. A couple of miles in the opposite direction, Holmfirth is known for its cobbled streets (famously a filming location for Last of the Summer Wine) and surrounding hills, while its shops, inns and eateries cater for every appetite. Head to Glossop (12 miles) and beyond for walking adventures; the rugged moorland of the Dark Peak is a hiker’s paradise. The hamlet of Crowden (7 miles) is en-route, and sits close to the Pennine Way long distance footpath.

Park just outside the cottage and unpack at leisurely pace – there’s a small entrance hall at the foot of the stairs and, to the left, you’ll find a fabulous lounge where a striking stone fireplace steals the scene. Stretch out on the sofa to watch TV, lighting the wood burner for after-dark ambience; a dining table by the window serves up countryside views. Adjacent, the kitchen is chic and contemporary, with statement flooring and all the essentials for fuss-free self-catering. Enjoy more verdant views as you cook; the neighbouring utility room will take care of any laundry needs. When it’s time to sleep, head upstairs to find two inviting bedrooms – a king-size and a bunk-bedded room, which share use of the nearby shower room.

There’s no garden here, but there is a small outside seating area to enjoy your morning coffee. Take a stroll into the village and you’ll find a historic cricket field close to the friendly inn, which has a beer garden serves a fabulous range of food and drinks from morning to night. On-street parking is available for one car.
