Raise View Reviews

Rachel
We visited The Nook for the second time from Melbourne, Australiaand it didn't disappoint. Our daughter, son-in-lawand granddaughter loved the comfy king-sized bed, the relaxing roll-top bathand the hot tub. Haley and Steve really make you feel at home. They've already promised to return with baby number two - can't wait for our next stay!
Oliver
We had a fantastic stay at this lovely cottage! The interior was beautifully presented, with a smart layout that made it perfect for both relaxing together or enjoying some quiet time in the gorgeous bedrooms with en-suites. The welcome pack, including towels, robesand even for our dog, was a thoughtful touch. Great base for exploring the Pennines and beyond. Highly recommended!
Emma Roberts
We stayed over Christmas and loved every minute! The cottage was beautifully decorated and so festive, it really put us in the holiday spirit. The welcome pack was a lovely touch, especially for the dogs - they felt just as spoiled. The place is super luxurious, with a roll-top bath perfect after long walks. The hot tub is brilliantand the underfloor heating keeps everything cosy. Great for families or groups, with en-suites in every room and a well-equipped kitchen. The village nearby has plenty of pubs and tasty food options. Hosts are really friendly too!
