Up-Top Cottage, Peak District

West Yorkshire. Sleeps up to 2

Nestled in the heart of Holmfirth, West Yorkshire, you will find this contemporary first-floor apartment. Up-Top Cottage is located on the top two floors of a five storey mill workers cottage and along with Over-Under Cottage below has been carefully renovated and now boasts contemporary touches and fittings while retaining the original feel of the building. These properties are unique to this area and from the exterior this charming home appears to be an everyday terrace house, but after entering the front door at street level and climbing a single flight of stairs you will find that if you glance out of the lounge window at the back of the house and take in the delightful views over the babbling River Holme, you are in fact four storeys up! Absolutely perfect for a romantic getaway, this charming abode welcomes couples seeking a relaxing break with easy access to the scenic Peak District National Park. Rustle up something tasty in the well-appointed kitchen, then dim the lights, pull up a chair at the solid oak dining table and enjoy your evening meal. After dinner move to the cosy lounge area which boasts an original stone wall and wooden lintel beam. Snuggle up on the plush velvet sofa, switch on the 55 Smart TV with complimentary Netflix and catch a movie - if you’re lucky there may even be some popcorn in the welcome basket to nibble on. The romance continues as you wind your way up the stairs to the vaulted ceiling bedroom and find the fairy lights twinkling on your sumptuous, contemporary bespoke four poster king-size bed. If you don’t fancy cooking, there’s a host of superb bars and restaurants within just a moments’ walk. Pop across the road to Mezze and feast on Tapas or indulge yourself with a cocktail at The Winking Stag. Or walk a few steps more and find yourself in Holmfirth’s vibrant town centre where the choice of pubs, bars and restaurants are almost endless. Get to know Holmfirth as you explore the range of independent shops, and if you fancy an ice cream there’s a choice of two, Hollowgate Ice Cream Factory and Lick, who specialise in delicious vegan ice cream. Those looking to get their steps in can venture the Kirklees Way, a superb 73-mile scenic route that takes in the best of the Peak District landscape and scenery, or if you’re up for a challenge, tackle the peak of Black Hill and Holme Moss. Alternatively, spend your energy exploring the stunning Peak District National Park, offering a wealth of walking, cycling and adventure trails across rugged moors and dense forests, or unravel the beauty of West Yorkshire at the historical villages of Slaithwaite, Uppermill or Delph and even the cities of Sheffield, Manchester and Leeds are within an easy drive. Choose Up-Top Cottage for a charming getaway in West Yorkshire.
