Stunning cosy cottage with everything you need for a perfect stay. Lovely homely touches. Very comfortable stay. Superb cleanliness. Owners go above and beyond with 'extras' such as bath robes and slippers . Highly recommend a stay at Geraldene

This cottage is absolutely beautiful , spotless, and is tucked away so its more private . I would certainly recommend this cottage to anyone , its close to other places to visit in the area , local shop and a very quaint village , thank you to the owners for a perfect stay .

Cosy cottage for two. The hot tub is so relaxing. The bed is very comfortable and the shower is great. The owners are very helpful and generously left goodies including homemade shortbread and brownies. Theres a supermarket 100 yards down the lane and the local pub is warm and friendly. Really enjoyed my stay.

Claire

Absolutely fantastic stay! Thankyou to the owners for a lovely welcome and all your help. The property is first class, exactly what we needed for our little getaway

Alison

Fantastic cottage, high quality all round. Excellent value for money.

Geraldene was a lovely cottage to spend 5 nights in. We had very clear instructions and information before arriving, and arrived to find the cottage spotless, with some complementary bread, jams and cakes, which was a lovely touch. The village its in is quiet, but has a CoOp and pub on the doorstep. We walked down to Holmfirth a few times which was easy to do about 2025 minutes and had plenty of places to eat and drink. There are beautiful walking routes from the cottage, and plenty to do a short drive away. The hot tub was a great addition. We had an issue where the power for jets on the hot tub had tripped, but Rob helped us over the phone straight away to find the plug and reset it. Overall, we had a relaxing and enjoyable stay thank you.

Geraldene is a lovely place to stay and exceeded expectations. The property is very clean, comfortable and well equipped. The owners are thoughtful and attentive and have made excellent use of the outdoor and indoor space. The wood fired hot tub is very special indeed. And the walks from the cottage enable easy access into nature and to Holmfirth town. We look forward to our return visit.

An amazing place to stay, I'm a fussy person and would say things that I thought needed doing, but I can with full confidence say this beautiful home with a holiday feel will give you a relaxed and calming time away. And all this at an affordable price which is had to come by, thank you for our stay

It was a lovely well cared for property with everything you could wish for. The owner was incredibly helpful. If you're looking to stay in a property in the area then you couldn't do any better.

Lovely cottage, the size what's just right. Great surroundings. Definitely felt like a little hideaway. Bed was incredibly comfy and warm. Hot tub was amazing once at temperature but the length of time and attention needed to get to that point could be a bit frustrating as you can't really head out for a walk and return, and just flick a switch. A few more big throws would be a good idea. Part of a cottage getaway in the winter is to wrap up all cozy together, there was only one fairly thin throw on the sofa.

Robert

Brilliant location, owners were very informative and helpful. Unfortunately due to weather couldn't use hot tub, but a lovely facility. Maybe next time.

Really beautiful and wellkept cottage, everything had been thought of by the hosts.

A weeks stay in Geraldene was fantastic. The hosts could not have done more to ensure every facility , for every eventuality was provided for. Luxurious bed and bedding, along with homemade treats. Highly recommended, will return

This is one of the most romantic impeccably clean properties I have ever stayed in. It is a little bit of luxury in an idyllic picturesque part of Yorkshire. The owners left homemade and locally made treats and the hot tub was amazing. My partner deemed it the perfect place to propose. I literally would score 1010 across the board for this adoreable cottage. Would love to return.

Michael

Our stay was amazing. Rob and Julie clearly went to a lot of effort to make our stay great and it was much appreciated. We stayed for the week of Christmas and they had setup a Christmas tree for us as well as decorations around the house, hot chocolate complete with whipped cream, marshmallows, and much more. Would love to return! Thank you!

Great facilities, everything you could ever need. Ownershosts are lovely, cannot fault anything. Found the property to be a little cold at times even with heating on but that is just one of those things! A lovely break, thank you for the hospitality

Lovely stay in this beautiful cottage, everything was perfect and the owners ... Lovely stay in this beautiful cottage, everything was perfect and the owners have thought of everything to make it so nice

Samantha

This is a little gem. A lovely romantic getaway. Everything you need is provided and it's in a beautiful area with lots to see and do. The cottage was perfect in every way and so clean and tidy with lots of little extras to help have a lovely relaxed time. The hot tub was gorgeous and easy to use.

Cottage was such a cosy country bolthole for 2 of us. Everything we needed to feel at home, log burner and the hot tub was a definate plus. Holmfirth is a short down hill walk away with a good array of shops, bars, restaurants. It was a really good base for us to get out and about the area. Would have no hesitation in recommendation.

Small cosy cottage with everything you could possibly need . With the hot tub absolutely fabulous at the end of a days walking

Absolutely brilliant. The owners were so lovely and made are stay perfect. Everything about the house was amazing and it made me and my partners first anniversary perfect.

We loved staying a Geraldine very quaint house very comfortable ideal for a couple who want to getaway for a few days loved the wood fired jacuzzi, helped to distress you after the long walks around the countryside. The treats was very welcoming nice surprise thank you, we had a lovely Chat with Rob very informative with ideas of where to go and see. Once again a big thank you

A beautifully put together cottage in a great location. Perfect for a couples gettaway.

An absolutely fantastic stay and the property was above all expectations. Everything within the cottage was immaculate and of great quality and to arrive after a 5 hour journey to find milk, bread, butter, cakes and fresh flowers provided by the lovely owners was very much appreciated. A wonderful stay and highly recommended.

Had a very lovely weekend at Geraldine, Rob and Julie went to great lengths to endure the cottage along with its additional goodies were excellent. Its very rare that we find such a well equipped cottage, for us every comfort from home was found, from the cloth napkins on the table, to the red & white wine and water glasses in the kitchen. Geraldine is a true credit to its lovely owners, thank you both.

The cottage was just fabulous we loved everything about it. The location was just so peaceful. The cottage is immensely comfortable, beautifully furnished and has everything to make a stay perfect.

A beautiful cosy cottage, furnished with real care and attention. . Lovely welcome goodies on arrival.. Would definitely recommend 'Geraldine '

The cottage was really clean ,nicely decorated, such a comfy bed.And the hot tub is so relaxing. In fact the whole few days was was so relaxing .thank you ..

Andrew

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful area. The whole package really is 5 star. We would highly recommend. The local pub and shop are pretty much on your doorstep, and the surrounding area has lots of nice walks. There are also plenty of places to eat day or night a 20 min walk or short drive down the road in Holmfirth. There were lovely tasty welcome goodies on arrival and the cottage is decorated and appointed to a very high standard. I don't think there is any thing the hosts haven't thought of and they are on hand to help with anything you need.

Lovely cottage very well equipped. We had a lovely stay the welcome shortbread and brownies were gorgeous but didn't last long. Thankyou so much the best cottage we gave stayed in.

Corinne

Best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in. 100 recommend. All the little luxury extras make it extra special! Close to local amenities but also lovely country views. Luxurious bedding and towels. Fully fitted kitchen. Fabulous log burner. Book it. You will not be disappointed.

Ryland

The cottage was very welcoming, clean and cosy the moment we arrived. It is well decorated and furnished to make everything comfortable and a very relaxing atmosphere. We stayed a week and were very content to spend long periods of time relaxing in the lounge. The fire is excellent and the views from the bedroom window are lovely. The kitchen is a bit small but adequate, and we were happy with all of the amenities such as coffee machine, and some jams etc. provided for arrival. I would definitely stay again and would recommend it for others.

Carolyn

Thank you for a wonderful stay in this beautiful cottage. It was very homely and luxurious, the most comfortable bed and pillows. A fantastic welcome pack on our arrival and a nice chat with the owner. Lovely area to visit and a great hotub to relax in. Everything we wanted was there, its the most well equipt cottage we have stayed in. Thank you x

Geraldine is a fantastic cottage. Rob and Julie were perfect hosts. The area is fab, the welcome pack was even better

A perfect getaway in the delightful town of Holmfirth. The Geraldene Cottage was beautiful, fully equipped and the hosts left no stone unturned to ensure a wonderful stay. The personalised touches provided a very warm welcome too. We had the best week staying here, will be recommending to friends and look forward to visiting again!

The property was in great condition everything we needed for our stay, the welcome gifts were a really nice surprise, would highly recommend people to stay.

Very well presented and clean cottage with excellent facilities with good quality fixtures and fittings. Fantastic location for local attractions and walks. Hot tub an added bonus.

A perfect little hideaway. Very well designed to make the most of the space. Very clean and well equipped. Warm welcome from the owners next door who, although available, were never intrusive. Holmfirth is an easy downhill walk, with plenty of places to eat and a great atmosphere. An excellent weeks holiday.

Adrian

Geraldene was a fabulous find. The owners have done a wonderful job in making the cottage so cosy, and we enjoyed the tasty welcome pack of milk, fresh bread, brownies, shortbread and spreads. Even though the evenings weren't too chilly, we enjoyed making use of the woodburner stove. The kitchen is well equipped with plenty of essentials for preparing meals, and also has a great filter coffee machine. The woodburner hotub was a lovely bonus, for relaxing in the evenings. The village of Wooldale is lovely and peaceful, with a pub and shop on the doorstep. Holmfirth is close by for eating out takeaways The owners were so friendly and very helpful.
