Cosy Mill Workers Cottage Heritage Saltaire

We were having a family get together so perfectly located in Saltaire. The house was well looked after. Only downside was a slight musty smell, but as my son lives in the village, which is a UNESCO heritage site, I am aware it is quite common, as the houses there are single brick and double glazing is not allowed! The beds were very comfortable and all the rooms were decorated well and clean.

Nothing major, just a couple of things. 1) It's a bit tight getting into the bathroom which isn't a problem as such. However, the bath panel is chipboard and was damaged down the edge of the L shape. It made it a bit sharp and it was easy to scratch yourself on it. Perhaps replace it or put some edging on to protect it? 2) Two t-towels instead of one would have been good as there were pots for 5 of us. I would have taken my own but it states they are provided. 3) The kitchen sink stopper was very difficult to get out. Only just thought there may be a washing up bowl under the sink, if not perhaps one would be a good idea!!

Location was excellent for exploring Saltaire and Shipley

Super location

Location was excellent . The cottage itself was delightful.

The oven wasn’t clean and there were dirty mugs and cutlery in the kitchen .

Nice comfortable beds, warm central heating, quiet house and location. Convenient location for our needs and close to shops. Helpful hosts sent electronic key in good time. Easy checkout. Efficient electric hob in kitchen.

House was clean in obvious areas but needs a 'deep clean' in some bits the cleaners don't get to: drawers had crumbs in; there was thick dust on sash window frames, black mould round some windows; oven baking trays were dirty with baked on gunk and should be chucked away; oven was dirty. Armchairs in lounge unusable as upholstery is kaput. Bins had not been emptied in ages and were bursting full. All this is easily fixable though and none of it spoiled our stay, which we really enjoyed. We couldn't work out the heating as we kept turning it down when we were out/asleep to save energy but then it seemed to come back up to 19-20 degrees on its own! May be good to explain the thermostat in detail so people can be more efficient with the heating.

size and location

No microwave , inconvenient on a short stay where cooking isn’t a priority.
