The Cottage, Beeston Hall, West Yorkshire

This converted stone cottage is attached to the main farmhouse, nestled down a quiet country lane just outside the village of Ripponden in the Ryburn Valley. Set on a working farm, with the encouraging sounds of wildlife encompassing the area, this lovely cottage exudes a quality feel with flagstone floors.

Retaining some of its original features, inside you will find a luxurious open-plan living room with exposed beams and underfloor heating. The sitting room boasts a charming woodburner set within the inglenook, and mullioned windows are filled with green landscape scenery from outside.

The kitchen is contemporary in style with spotlight illuminating the good quality fixtures. Climb the plush carpeted staircase to the modern bathroom at the top.

Indulge in a nice hot soak in the roll top bath after a long day touring this delightful region of Yorkshire. A set of well-presented bedrooms offer zip and link beds to suit your preferred choice of sleeping arrangements.

There is plenty of off-road parking at the front of the house, and a lovely enclosed garden at the side. Sit outside with views across to the moors while you sip a lovely glass of wine on a sunny afternoon, or relax in the hot tub after a long day of exploring the local area.

Ripponden is a delightful village steeped in history, with its Roman road and Neolithic and Bronze Age remains scattering the area. Rishworth Moor is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and home to many rare animals, as well as the Cat Stones, a series of ancient round barrow burial sites.

This village is made up of traditional stone-built cottages, and a small high street with shops, cafes, and several excellent pubs serving food and real ale, all with the River Ryburn flowing gently through the centre. Nearby, Hedben Bridge is a diverse town with restaurants, bars, art galleries and the Rochdale Canal.
