Guy Currey
A fabulous, cosy cottage right in the heart of Hebden Bridge. Well equipped with plenty of room for six (one room bunk beds). Lovely kitchen diner and comfy lounge. The garden is a real gem, with lovely views. One thing to note is the cottage is slightly up a very steep cobbled lane, so could be an access issue for people with any mobility issues. We loved it and will be back.

A lovely characterful cottage in a great location overlooking the town centre and close to all the amenities but nicely tucked away from the hustle and bustle. We were on a walking weekend and we arrived into Hebden walking down the footpath from Heptonstall at dusk straight into the warmth and cosines of the cottage. Absolutely magical. The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable. Would definitely stay again. Acces by foot up the steep hill to the cottage entrance was wet and slippery with leaf drop at the time of our visit and took some careful negotiation particularly when carrying luggage.
