Hardcastle Crags Cottage Midgehole

Hardcastle Crags Cottage is in Midgehole, just up the hill from Hebden Bridge. It's a stone terrace cottage, one of a row. The back looks out onto trees and fields.

It sleeps four. Two bedrooms, one bathroom. It's got a 5 Star rating, which means it's been done to a high standard. The stairs are steep and a bit narrow. Just so you know.

The cottage is right on the edge of the National Trust woods at Hardcastle Crags. You can walk for miles straight from the door. The path down along the river into Hebden Bridge takes about 25 minutes and is a nice walk.

Hebden Bridge is about two miles away. It's got lots of independent shops, cafes, and decent pubs. There's a co-op for groceries. There's a station with trains to Manchester and Leeds if you fancy a day in the city.

Within half an hour you can drive to Haworth for the Brontë Parsonage, or up to the moors. The Yorkshire Dales and the Peak District are both about an hour's drive for a longer day out.

There's a local pub 350 yards down the lane. It's a proper walking pub. You can get food.

For facilities: it's got a wood burner, wifi, a TV with Netflix, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. There's a guitar and a piano if anyone fancies a tune. Bedding and towels are included. There's a cot and a highchair if you need them. The garden is yours, with a patio and a BBQ. You can bring up to two dogs. There's also an electric vehicle charging point.
