The space
Home away from home with a true Yorkshire welcome. Enjoy a peaceful stay in our cottage in beautiful Barkisland- perfect for those attending weddings or events at the local Fleece Inn or Venue. Ideal walking country with bountiful options right on the doorstep. Popular cycling routes for those who enjoy a challenge too.
Well behaved dogs are very welcome, although bear in mind we are beside a sheep field so please keep dogs under control and on a lead when walking nearby. 2 dogs maximum per booking.
There is no EV charger on site - please do not charge vehicles at the property. The owners have an EV charger on the same street and upon request are happy to allow charging from this- please message or call to request this (charged at cost). There are public chargers at local supermarkets and in the town centre - free at Sainsbury's Halifax. An additional fee of £20 per EV per night will be charged if you choose to run granny cables from the house to charge your vehicle. Thank you.
2 large bedrooms (double and twin) plus lounge with double sofa-bed and kitchen/diner able to accommodate up to 6 guests. Note that bedding for the sofabed will only be made available for bookings of 5 or 6 guests, unless specifically requested - there is an additional cost to cover laundry for the sofabed (which helps me to keep the cleaning costs as low as possible). Tea, coffee, sugar, oil and condiments plus toilet roll, handwash, laundry and kitchen and cleaning essentials are provided to get you started - any additional requirements can be purchased locally. Highchair, child safe tableware and nightlights also included - let us know beforehand if you need to use the highchair as it will be packed away (or feel free to retrieve from under stairs yourselves).
Bring your furry friend and if you're out for the evening at a wedding or concert, just let us know. We offer a dog sitting service and will keep your pet company and take him/her for a walk for £10 per hour. No overnights and after 5pm only, subject to availability of hosts. Please message for more information.
