We stayed a few days in this beautiful homely cottage. There are three comfortable bedrooms and the cottage is immaculately kept. If you love to walk and appreciate fantastic views this is the cottage for you. It’s in an amazing location, a home from home with all the amenities you would need.

Ginnel corner has great walks from the doorstep via intriguing ginnels that bring history to life .. Through woodland to canal banks you can get to slaithwaite and other interesting towns beyond. The cottage had all facilities we needed, be aware the steps to the kitchen and lounge are steep with low head clearance. The double rooms were clean and spacious with fab views but they were very light from early on so light sleepers like myself may need portable blackout blind or eye mask for a holiday lie-in ! We were happy with our stay and would recommend to friends and family .

Beautiful authentic cottage set in the stunning scenic town of Golcar.. The views from the cottage were simply stunning. Cottage owners couldn’t have been more helpful and the cottage had everything we needed. There was lots to do in the area, and we had a great week. Hope to visit again some time.

This cottage was so homely we spent most of our time inside it. We planned to do lots of walking (of which there a plenty of options to do so) but we didn't get round to it because we couldn't tear ourselves away from the place too often. The view from the lounge and the 2 main bedrooms are stunning - really warm too. An open fire is always a must for us when we book a winter cottage so that was another reason to stay indoors. The lounge actually has door that opens onto a patio with a bench on it with that amazing vista in front of it, so summer time would be just as blissfull as Winter time at Ginnel Corner. There is a bookcase in the lounge with some really good reads in it, two of which was written by the owner - Chris, i'm ashamed to tell you I pinched 'Cuckoo in the Chocolate' because I couldn't put it down! Sorry, i'll pay you back next time I come to visit which I hope will be in the summer. There are some really nice places to eat and drink, the garden center (the big one) is a must for breakfasts,- first class.

Ginnel Corner is a character, cosy cottage.. We found it warm and comfortable and everything we needed for a weeks stay was provided. The views from the cottage across the valley are stunning and the cottage is very quiet even though it is in the heart of Golcar. There is a Co-op, a butcher's, a post office and a pub and restaurant within a couple of minutes walk. In addition there's an excellent farm shop (Bolster Moor) within a few minutes drive. We found the kitchen rather small as we prefer to buy local produce and cook rather than eating out, but it was adequate for a weeks stay and was reasonably well equipped. You can park on the roadside outside the cottage but there are steps down to the cottage so loading/ unloading the car is a bit of a chore - especially as we arrived in snow! We enjoyed our stay in Ginnel Corner and would recommend it.

The Sykes booking was simple and efficient.. The owners replied to our questions and gave suggestions on the area. On entering the quaint, historical weavers cottage built in the 1830's we thought Wow! The cottage was big enough for our party(six adults). The views were out of this world. It made us relax and chill immediately. The owners had thought of everything from advice on the local area in Golcar and further afield. The array of walks are superb. The owners thought of all the little things to begin our short break. The cottage was exceptionally clean, well loved over time and prepared for guests to a extremely high standard. The stairs are steep and therefore I would not recommend for the older generation. My daughter was impressed by the piano and my son the array of pubs close by. We all would recommend this cottage. A gem of a find in the Colne valley(age range between 24 and 55yrs).

We spent 8 days in this spacious but cosy 1820's weaver's cottage in Golcar. With three comfortable bedrooms, a brand new bathroom and a gorgeous sitting room; this cottage was perfect for our family of 5. The whole place was immaculate and felt absolutely like home. But it is the view that blew us away. The cottage is set on the side of a hill and the front door is upstairs whilst the back door is downstairs. From every window (of which there are plenty) the view is a huge expanse of Yorkshire valley and moors and it Is stunning. The back door leads to a delightful little terrace where you can soak in the views with a cup of tea or a glass of wine. The owners are immediately accessible and really lovely people. They helped us in many ways and we are very grateful for their kindness. The cottage is in a perfect location with an amazing butcher, a post office, a grocery store, a brilliant cafe and even a museum only steps away. There are delightful walks where you can explore the little alleyways and stairs (or "ginnels") of the village all the way down to the canal at the bottom of the hill. And if you are lucky you can help a narrow boat through a lock! We will definitely be back!

This was a great cottage with stunning views.. The owners were friendly and very helpful, both before and during our stay. We would stay here again.

We had an amazing stay at the cottage for 3 weeks while our home was under renovation, the owners of the cottage couldn't do enough for us. The whole cottage was spacious, warm & comfortable providing us with every gadget & amenity we & our two growing boys could need. The local community were fabulous & friendly & the local village provided us with everything we could ever need. We sat on the gorgeous back terrace at all hours & all weather's & the views were beautiful & majestic, We warmed our feet & lounged by the roaring wood burner on an evening imagining what fabulous stories the age old stone chimney breast could have told us about the calming homely warm feeling the cottage gives you. We loved the cottage so much, we didn't want to leave & we intend on staying again & as often as we can ? we had a truly Magical time there? I would recommend the beautiful 'Ginnel Cottage' to anyone who is looking for a perfect place to feel welcome & comfortable & to provide an unforgettable holiday. ?Thank you again for giving us a wonderful experience?

The property was very well kept.. It is perfectly located. It is very close to a bus stop which takes direct to Huddersfield town Centre. The property offers all the basic needs of a family away from home and that makes a huge difference. The owners (Ian and Christina) were also very friendly which makes life very easy. They are also available at all time to discuss any requirement you may have. We will definitely consider staying at the cottage another time. Martin Goury

5 adults stayed here comfortably. Complete relaxing place to stay with lots of things to do on the doorstep. The cottage itself was well equipped for cooking /self catering as well as being near some lovely places to eat out. Excellent view from the terrace at the back of cottage. A very hilly area so not great for anyone with mobility problems but we appreciated the info left by owners of local area maps . We did the Golcar ginnel trail which was good fun with a lovely walk along the canal nearby and starts right outside the cottage. We especially liked the Scape house Inn a 5min drive away and the local pub that had a bank holiday live entertainment mini festival. Holmfirth, Marsden and Slaithwaite all nearby worth a visit
