Just perfect. This is the second time we have stayed at this beautiful cottage and we really enjoyed our time there and Jenny is just the perfect host. Short walk to shops, restaurants and all amenities and Dob Cottage has everything we needed and more.Can highly recommend as certainly lives up to expectations and more.

We were made to feel very welcome in this warm and cosy cottage. The parking space was great and we were pleased and surprised to find so many good places to eat within a short work (especially Punch Tapas).Jenny has obviously gone out of her way to think of all the extra touches to make this and lovely place to stay. Highly recommended

The property was fully equipped with everything you would need and more. Jenny is a super thoughtful host, and had a lot of little things available for you as guest that made it feel like home.

Thanks for your kind review Jana. It was good to meet you and so glad you felt at home and comfortable at Dob cottage. You are right to say the cottage is well placed for shops, restaurants etc. You are welcome back anytime.....maybe for a non-work related visit next time?
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It is so central, the sun shines into the upstairs living area and the beds are so comfortable. Jenny is a gracious host and the location is central to all we wanted to do. Would definitely recommend, thank you Jenny .
Wonderful property with everything you need. Jenny is very attentive and easy to communicate with. I'd recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay in Holme Valley.
Our second stay at Dob cottage and again the cottage was spotless and comfortable. It is ideally located in Honley centre and in easy reach of lots of interesting and spectacular landscapes.

Thank you so much for your review.
The locality of the cottage is one of its best attributes - no need to use the car to go for a meal or a drink. Home delivery too, when the feet ache after exploring the beautiful countryside (maybe not from the fish and chip shop!!!).
The property was very clean and modern. It had everything that was needed and more and was very comfortable.

About the host
Hosted by Jenny Foster
I have lived in this beautiful, rustic and friendly area now for 20 +years, and although I'm from "over the hills" they don't seem to hold it against me! I retired a few years ago, and that gave me the opportunity to start my little holiday let business which has been a dream of mine for some time. I live in close proximity to Dob Cottage and after driving around the North West as a self-employed rep. for many years, I am enjoying the delights of this area, with it's wonderful characters,scenery and "things to do".
Why they chose this property
I love this area because of the spectacular scenery, and the amazing wildlife. For birdwatchers, it is a very worthwhile area to visit, with the owls and the curlews on the moors, and the woodland birds in the valleys.. It is a very "arty" area with many talented artists and sculptors. There are several events throughout the year ie.Art Week, The Folk Festival etc. The local Tourist Information Office has the details! Country pubs and good restaurants and loads of good walks make it an excellent tourist destination. The Holme Valley is picturesque, rustic, and has a warm and welcoming charm all of its own. I like to think that Dob Cottage is a relaxing and comfortable place to come home to, after a busy day of exploring!
What makes this property unique
We chose this area to live because, although we have all the facilities we need in the village, we are surrounded by beautiful countryside. Also, the proximity of the cities of Manchester, Leeds and Sheffield, make it ideal.
