Hollins Wood Bothy Barnsley, South Yorkshire

Tucked away ion the middle of fields, this excellent conversion of a former derelict small stone barn provides interesting and unusual accommodation for a couple with all mod cons. Cosy and compact it may be but it is all there! Owned by friendly and helpful local people who gave us a great welcome with a bottle of wine, milk in the fridge and flowers in each room!!! ...

The Bothy was a real ‘get away from it all’ holiday home.. Very unusual setting in corner of farmers field. It was very snug & cosy, the log burner was great. Nice personal touches included wine, cake, milk & flowers in each room. Superb food in local pub The Wortley Arms. Well worth a visit....The Bothy & The Pub!!

Wonderful, cosy little cottage.. Fascinating neighbours (sheep, ducks, pheasants, stoat). Excellent communication and attention to detail from the cottage owners.

Lovely cosy cottage.. We really enjoyed our stay here over Christmas. Very clean and comfortable and a great setting. Fantastic local walks, loads of wildlife. Would definitely recommend.

Hollins wood Bothy , is a delight to stay in, everything has been thought of, to make your stay as comfortable as possible.. The location is just a piece of heaven, so peaceful, just loved the neighbours, cows, sheep, pheasants.

This cottage is the perfect escape set away from everything with just the sheep and cows next field for company.. It’s through the woods, through three farm gates across the fields so well away from anywhere......but the village nearby has all you need, especially cake and cards. The cottage is warm and cosy with all the facilities needed for a perfect holiday......even cake and wine on arrival!

We really enjoyed staying here for a short break.. The Bothy is small, but adequate for 2, clean and comfortable. The welcome wine and cake were nice touches and we enjoyed sitting on the bench in the sun with drinks. Good directions and comms from the owner.

Really enjoyable weekend from start to finish.. Instructions to find the Bothy excellent, treats on arrival a wonderful surprise. Everything we needed and wanted was on site. Peace and tranquillity just what we needed and made great friends with the 4-legged neighbours. Great communications with owners who have completed a marvellous restoration of the building. Amazing stay and hope to return some time soon..

Fantastic place to stay.. Very comfy and cozy. Ideal place for 2.

Excellent secluded cottage in a lovely area.. Very clean and comfortable with all the facilities that you would expect from a cottage stay. We would recommend and will definitely return in the future.

The Bothy is lovely place to rest and relax.. It is located in a country location with lovely scenery, walks on its doorstep, loads of wildlife yet still close enough to some great tourist attractions. If you want rest and relaxation this is the place for you

This was an amazing place to stay! Our only neighbours were sheep, and the setting was gorgeous. Inside, the bothy has been transformed into a very comfortable and exceptionally well equipped cottage even with excellent wifi! We had four very happy nights here and could happily have stayed much longer. It is within easy drives of Sheffield and Wakefield and many attractions. The instructions on getting there, the welcome pack, and large folder of information were all much appreciated. Thank you for making the bothy available for visitors!

Fabulous peaceful location.. Loads of lovely walks from the cottage. Totally equipped with everything to make us comfortable would definitely stay there again.

This beautiful little cottage is just what we needed to get away from the noise of everyday life, yet close enough on foot (if you like walking) or by car to civilisation if you need it.. Such a lovely, cosy place, so well equipped and tastefully decorated (plus dishwasher and washing machine, what a bonus)! The bed was comfy, the views from the windows beautiful and a lovely outside area to sit (although we didn't have the weather for that). Two farms flank the cottage, one is a sheep farm. A little brook runs through the woods at the bottom. Toasty and warm (especially when we lit the stove), the owners left some lovely treats for us, and fresh flowers in every room....we will go back there again and again. It's idyllic. Plus....I can highly recommend the Wortley Arms' Sunday Roast - its HUGE! Take your walking boots and wellies though, and you will be just fine.

Our 3rd stay at Hollins Wood Bothy, we love the peace and tranquility of this well renovated, comfortable cottage..

Even though the weather caught us out for most of the week, the bothy is a lovely little base camp to see Yorkshire.. When you arrive its very clean and tidy with some little gifts to get your break of to a good start. Even with this being our third visit to the bothy none of the magic and warmth has left it and we are looking forward to going back in the future.

Nice cottage.. Lovely and friendly owners A perfect getaway for a long weekend!

The wonderful location; the peace and quiet and the beautifully clean Bothy.. The whole experience was superb.

For a short break in an idyllic location the Hollins wood bothy is a must for all ages. Arriving through the woods sets the scene before you get to the hidden gem, this well equipped stone cottage delivers on all fronts giving you the option to do as much or a little as you want. If walking is your past time there is a raft of information for all levels or if you just want to chill out this hidden gem will not disappoint. Had a great stay and we'll visit again.

Stunning location with good walks from the property.. The Bothy is very cosy and comfortable.

The extra information received from the owners regarding directions and activities were much appreciated and very useful.. We had a great time.

Just what my wife and I needed after a hectic few months moving house in Liverpool. So peaceful and welcoming, even as we approached through the fields. Extremely comfortable bed, good wi-fi and mobile coverage, fabulous "sitting-out areas" for catching the sun and chilling. Great walks around the cottage and Wortley village. Handy for Peak district and Yorkshire Dales. Returned home with our "batteries fully recharged" Highly recommended!

Beautiful location.. Peaceful place to recharge the batteries! Loved watching the wild life around! A hare even visited our door step. A lovely area to visit. We' ll be back.

Could not fault the property or welcome. Property is reached via a farm track as advertised and we did get stuck because it was dark and we missed the hard surface!, our fault. Owner most helpful in getting us out again. Nice and warm, and the log burner was great. very handy for the motorway and all local attractions. The Wortley Arms does great food and the butcher/village shop does amazing pies :)

A lovely cottage in a great location, perfect for couples to get away from the rat race..

Can't say enough good things about this place. It's a perfect little retreat if you want some time to relax. We were made to feel so welcome and loved every minute of our stay.

I stayed at the bothy for a weeks holiday in August. The place is in a beautiful setting, furnished to a high standard, quiet and peaceful. Perfect for a solo holiday or for a couple seeking a quiet and romantic getaway. Very helpful pre arrival instructions, a lovely welcome and a wonderful stay. The property is ideally situated for access to the sculpture triangle which includes the fabulous Yorkshire Sculpture Park and the Hepworth museum in Wakefield. I also enjoyed a day trip to Harrogate and a trip to Sheffield while I was there. Would love to stay again.

A wonderful little cottage, ideal for a peaceful getaway with lots to do in the area and a beautiful setting. Everything was very clean and comfortable. We would highly recommend to others.

We were very impressed at the high standard to which the Bothy had been restored and the level of comfort that it provided. The location was perfect giving a very peaceful and relaxing holiday. It was the sort of place we did not want to leave and would certainly consider going back again.

Great location in peaceful surroundings. Perfect to re-charge batteries and we had a great time at the Bothy.

What a beautiful cottage, everything was fantastic.

The peace and tranquillity of the property enabled us to recharge our batteries surrounded in comfort. We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful weather which allowed us to eat alfresco in the quaint garden of the property. We would definitely plan to return; a hidden gem.

Hollins Wood Bothy was small, cosy and perfectly formed. The standard of finish in the cottage is very high and it is a great place to spend time or to go out and explore the area with the brilliant guides provided by the owners. This is a special place to spend some time and was a perfect place for a few days away relaxing. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

If you are interested in somewhere small and cosy then this is absolutely perfect. It is finished to a very high standard and has everything you need for a trip away. It is within walking distance of the village but far enough away to be quiet as well. The owners are so welcoming without being intrusive and couldn't be more helpful. There are walks provided from the Bothy and plenty of information about the local area. If you're after somewhere to go and relax then I cant reccomend this highly enough. My only hesitation in writing a five star review is that we want to go back and don't want it to be booked up! A very special place indeed.

From the moment we arrived (following excellent directions) we absolutely fell in love with the remoteness of the Bothy. The accommodation itself was immaculate, clean and furnished to a very high standard. The walks from the Bothy come highly recommended, we enjoyed getting our walking boots and wellies on to explore the beautiful surrounding countryside.

An amazing place to stay. It was very private, quiet and comfortable with lovely walks.

The minute I walked into Hollins Wood Bothy I loved everything about it! It is a beautiful and very cosy little cottage with everything you need. It was so peaceful and quiet, it's a perfect place to unwind and relax. The owners were very friendly and helpful in every way and even provided me with perfectly explained directions on how to get there. As a keen walker/runner it was an absolute paradise for me. I will be returning soon for sure and will also highly recommend Hollins Wood Bothy to all my friends! If I could score in stars then I would have to give the cottage 11 Stars out of 10.

Hollins Wood Bothy was amazing, clean and modern and the location was the most fantastic rural setting which I couldn't have been happier with. Close to all local amenities and we was left lots of good local walks, and to be surrounded by wildlife all day and night was just great. The little touches by the owner all added to the relaxed and stress free break we enjoyed.

Amazing cottage, beautifully remote relaxing. Lovely touches from the owner such as local cake and wine on arrival, great walks with detailed directions written by the owners emails to make sure we knew how to get to the cottage. We had a wonderful time, thank you.

The Bothy is in an idyllic location, remote yet accessible. Ideally positioned for great walks from the front door or further afield in the High Peak and not too far from Sheffield if you feel the draw of the city. It's extremely cosy, warm and comfortable and obviously loved by the owners who provide a kind and generous welcome on arrival. The perfect getaway.

The location was utter peace and tranquillity. The presentation was immaculate and the owner was friendly and polite. Excellent facilities and thoughtful supplies.

Having visited Wortley over many years, to find this gem was perfect for my wife and I. The Bothy is a haven of peace and quiet with just the livestock for company, plus all other local wildlife. The log burner was perfect to wind down after days out and about. The accommodation was just perfect. Needless to say we will be returning again and again. Perfect!

Probably the best cottage we have stayed in, everything had been thought about. I can honestly say there weren't any negatives to staying in this property. Fully recommend this property.

The Bothy is beautiful and in an idyllic spot. Whilst it is so close to Sheffield it felt like being in an oasis of calm. The local walks provided by the owners were lovely. The nearby village and the local pub are superb. Whether you want to park up and enjoy the accommodation and local area or travel to the many nearby beauty spots, this is a truly lovely place to stay.

Absolutely everything we could possibly want was thought of and provided.

Beautifully tranquil and peaceful - a lovely get away!

This was our second visit to Hollins Wood Bothy and we enjoyed it just as much as the first time. There are so many places to visit; local people are friendly, there were lots of lovely walks and the Bothy is 'the icing on the cake'. We hope to return again soon.

Our stay at the Hollins Wood Bothy was a very special and enjoyable one. Our host greeted us, and was friendly and enthusiastic, and with just cause; the Bothy is more impressive than in the photos. Set in a peaceful, secluded rural setting, yet easy to get to, the Bothy has been beautifully restored - it speaks of history on the outside, yet inside it is very modern and has everything you could need. With incredibly thick walls, it is warm and quiet, and it has an immediate, welcoming charm and cosiness; it made for a relaxing, romantic holiday. There are a plethora of things to do and beautiful places to see in the area, and many others a short drive away. It was a lovely stay and we'll cherish the memories.

Our hosts were very welcoming and courteous, explaining in detail how to reach our cottage. The cottage was very well positioned and gave us the privacy we sought, it's a real gem. We enjoyed experiencing the local food and shops, the locals were very friendly. We had a fantastic experience during our stay and will certainly look to return in future, and recommended the cottage to friends and family.

Fantastic accommodation in a beautiful tranquil setting. The food at the Wortley Arms was delicious and the local people were warm and friendly. We would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone. It has been the highlight of our trip so far. A great base to explore Yorkshire from.

A beautiful cottage in a peaceful location with a lovely village near by.

The Bothy is a really special place all round. Everything was just right and I'm fussy! Good walks and cycling with a nice tea room, farm shop, general store and great pub in the village nearby. The owners were very welcoming and helpful too. I loved it.

This lovely cottage is in a peaceful rural location but has local village amenities which are within easy walking distance for those who prefer to leave the car parked up. The owners are really friendly and gave us a genuinely warm welcome with nothing being to much trouble for them. We enjoyed several local walks (which the owners supplied details of) and there a many more within a short drive for anyone who enjoys the countryside.

This was the first time we have ever done a holiday like this and we had the time of our lives. The cottage was cosy yet modern with the most amazing bed! The warm welcome we received really made us feel at home and the scenery was stunning! We were very lucky to have snow there and it was literally like something from a post card!

We were so pleased that Hollins Wood Bothy was just as described, and the perfect holiday retreat. The welcome we received from the owner was great. We couldn't find fault, everything was just perfect for us and we certainly hope to go back again!

Literally the best break we've ever had. A gorgeous, beautifully renovated property, perfect surroundings, a warm welcome (owner is a good laugh) and peacefulness. Had a bit of nice weather so we fired a BBQ up in the garden and cooked local -delicious- meat on it. Heaven!

The Bothy is was everything it said it would be and more. A beautiful property in an ideal setting.

The cottage is exactly as described. We received such a warm welcome and the personal touches were greatly received! The Bothy includes everything you need for a fantastic rural escape. You could just spend all your time inside the Bothy and enjoy the natural surroundings (your only neighbours being the sheep, cows and pheasants. Oh, and the hare!). Included in the cosy cottage was everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable and relaxed. Basically, the Bothy is the ideal countryside escape which still has 21st century mod cons. We wanted a quiet, secluded home which still had wifi and what we got was so much more.

Absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful scenery, quiet area and lovely walks in the countryside. It was ideal for our anniversary. We will definitely be visiting again!

If you're looking for a secluded cottage, but with modern touches, such as wifi and dishwasher, washing machine etc, this is the place for you. Hollins Wood Bothy is a beautiful, modern, clean, cosy cottage set in the grounds of a working farm. The cottage itself is located between a sheep field (wake up and see sheep from the bedroom window. Bliss!) and another field with a few cows in (they'll come and say hello if you let them). Don't let the 'working farm' part put you off. You don't encounter farmers walking past the Bothy, nor is anyone in the field milking cows or shearing sheep. For all intents and purposes, you are alone! There are woods opposite which are perfect for walking. The Bothy even comes with its own 'bespoke' walks - direct from the Bothy! Just grab one of the guides and go. A really nice touch, and one of several (I won't name them or it'll spoil the surprise!) We felt as though we were in the middle of nowhere. You can't hear the traffic and as I said, we didn't see the farmer at all on our week stay. It's just you and the wildlife. The owners made us feel welcome and the little touches on our arrival were very much appreciated. We spent the week hanging out in the Bothy, sitting in the garden, visiting the big cities (Leeds, Manchester and Sheffield) which were all under an hour away. The little village of Wortley is home to the local pub, a post office and farm shop (jam and meat are both highly recommended!). You can walk to it from the Bothy in about 40 minutes. The Peak District is located a short drive away too, making the Bothy ideally located for exploring the natural beauty of the north and also enjoying shopping and nightlife of the cities. I need to tell you about the bed at the Bothy. You will not sleep on a better bed. It was so good that my partner and I looked it up online - we want it for our flat! It's totally out of our price range though! haha! Everything in the Bothy is top notch. The owners have spared no expense to ensure you have a brilliant stay. We can't wait to go back! Thank you John and Rowena!

The Bothy is beautiful, well equipped and immaculately presented. It's five star rating is well deserved. We were made to feel very welcome by the owners, and their attention to detail is impressive and was much appreciated. Without question we will return to this charming accommodation.

A wonderful cottage in a fantastic, quiet, extremely rural location but only a few minutes from the local village. The owners were very welcoming. There were cows, hares, pheasants, a partridge and an owl all within a few feet of us most days.

We loved everything from the warm welcome to the copious amounts of information provided in the cottage. It was all perfect and the Bothy had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We would happily stay again and have already recommended to friends and family.

A lovely old bothy turned into a perfect little holiday cottage, lovely setting, really peaceful and nicely set back from everything, on the edge of the peak district, an excellent base for exploring the hills. We went on some glorious walks. A great welcome from the owners too, who left us wine and cake.

The house was clean and cosy, we received a really warm and friendly welcome and a lovely welcome pack. It was in a good location to get a balance of rural and urban experiences, we enjoyed our stay very much.

My mother and I stayed here for a weekend while we had a lot of work to do (I had exams and she had reports to write). We wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of normal life and retreat into the country for a working break. Our stay was lovely, we had a very warm welcome on arrival and were shown where everything is. The complimentary tea, coffee and cake was delicious! We got plenty of work done as it is so peaceful, only the sheep around to keep you company! But the village is a short drive away if you want to explore or get an supplies. There are walking route plans provided in the bothy, depending on how long you want to be walking for and what kind of terrain you fancy. The bothy itself is furnished very tastefully and is well equipped with most things you need. The wood burner is a lovely touch for the cold winter days. We would love to return when we have no work and are able to relax and enjoy the picturesque countryside. I can't recommend this little gem enough.

Absolutely loved our stay here. The bothy was clean, well decorated and extremely peaceful. The owner gave us a very warm welcome, showing us the way to the bothy and then how to use everything inside. There is a great welcome pack with lots of useful information and walks. Just what we needed.

Lovely cosy cottage in beautiful surroundings and a warm welcome from owners. Nice village nearby with a lovely pub for food and a convenient farm shop. Didn't want to leave, would happily return!

We had a wonderful time in a beautiful cottage. We were given the warmest welcome when we arrived. We were even provided with a bottle of wine and a lovely locally baked cake which was delicious. Our stay was really relaxing and we would definitely recommend it. It truly is a beautiful place to stay if you are looking for peace and relaxation.

Wonderful friendly service from the owners. Extremely clean and well equipped comfortable cottage a little isolated and a fair distance to the amenities, but great for those seeking a quiet life

Superb getaway cottage. Friendly and welcoming owners. Lovely surroundings.

The bothy itself is beautifully rebuilt, decorated and furnished, cosy, comfortable, a home from home. It is situated in the midst of fields full of sheep, in the countryside and was very peaceful.

The property was a very beautiful cottage set in the peaceful surroundings. The cottage has been wonderfully fitted out and decorated. The local pub (Wortley Arms) is a fantastic place to eat a Sunday roast after a long walk, or have a bite to eat in the evening after a bike ride. I will be back, and will recommend this property to my friends. I wish I could have stayed longer!

The overall stay was amazing, we loved the information contained in the property regarding walks in the area. Loved the location, it was pure bliss. We will definitely be going there again!

The Cottage was near perfect, and the owners very warm and friendly.

Nice quiet location. Very good reception for TV. All facilities are nicely presented and the property is snug. The nearby village has a good store, and public house which provides excellent meals.
