Wood End Cottage

The cottage was in a very quiet location near to Slaithwaite. There were generous amounts of coal and wood left for the fire. The washing machine and fridge worked well. Wi-Fi was excellent. Slaithwaite has an abundance of excellent cafes. Try the Handmade Bakery or the Northern Sole cafe for your breakfast each day.

The cottage needs a lot of internal renovation improvements. The kitchen is 30 years out of date and shows it. Cutlery and mugs were very poor quality. We obtained two new mugs for our personal use. Plates and glasses okay. There’s a lot of random and worn out stuff in the kitchen. It needs a total replacement of everything. There is little room for food prep, which we passed on. The bathroom is cold and old. The bath tiles have traces of mold and the tile grouting elsewhere is grey with age. The toilet flush handle repeatedly came off needing the cistern lid to be removed to fix it. The shower sounds like an outboard motor for a boat when switched on. The carpets downstairs are worn in places. The old leather sofa was cold to the touch. We had to clean the tv remote control of food residue before we used it. The TV is old and pre High definition. Bedrooms were tired and dated but you could get to sleep on the beds. It’s expensive for what you get. I do hope the owners have plans for renovation because the cottage could be superb if renovated to a good standard.

the location was great for our requirements
