There are 3 properties within Merrydale hamlet. Ours (Tyas House), our holiday let (Tyas Cottage) and our neighbours' house and barn which adjoins Tyas Cottage. Although the houses are fairly close together, they all have complete privacy. We are retired, so are usually at home. With underfloor heating, massive insulation, solar panels and an electric vehicle charging point, Tyas Cottage is particularly eco-friendly Much commented on is our steep, narrow, cobbled access lane. We are happy to ferry guests up and down the hill when there might be snow or ice on the road, but even large ambulances are able to get up and down in normal weather. The cottage is furnished with very special antique furniture, much of it brought over from South Africa. This includes a hand-carved Georgian mahogany 4 poster bed. The gardens contain several sculptural features. The metal pods that hang from a tree next to the millpond are very well used and children love the long swing next to the river. Our guests seem to particularly enjoy the quiet, secluded, rural location. They often walk up through the woods on the ancient packhorse route that leads to the Rose and Crown with its delicious local beer (the steep walk is not suitable for the old and infirm. They would need to drive or be driven to the pub around the top of the valley). Slaithwaite is a vibrant village and definitely "on the up". It is a lovely walk down Merrydale to Slaithwaite (about 25 minutes). The topography of this district can be very steep with its tight little valleys in between vast heather-clad moorland. There are loads of varied and interesting walks in the area. Tunnel End could be a destination if one were to walk along the canal from Slaithwaite to Marsden. The Pennine Way is quite near to Tyas Cottage. We are a ten minute drive from Slaithwaite station which has free parking and gives easy access to York, Leeds, Huddersfield, and Manchester. Shibden Hall, is the nearest Elizabethan House (about a 20 minutes car journey away). Anne Lister, of the TV series "Gentleman Jack" fame lived there in the 18th and early 19th centuries. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Electric car charging station on site - Car recommended - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - 4 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - On a river ### Things to do - Golf - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Electric car charging station - Garden - Unit size: 2,067 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34410000/34405600/34405580/021a3f71.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxury House & Family Retreat Sleeps 12 with Private Hot Tub Holmfirth - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 9.0 Wonderful 24 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-07&endDate=2026-02-08&selected=34405580&PinnedHotelID=34405580&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/75000000/74240000/74230300/74230287/b12d917e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Traditional cottage with stunning views and walks on the doorstep.

The gardens are surroundings were beautiful when we stayed in July. We all enjoyed playing in the garden, walking into the village, and exploring nearby. Our hosts were friendly and helpful and it was nice to be welcomed with a tea tray. We stayed with my parents who are in their 70s and our children aged 8 and 10\.

John and Vicky were very keen that we had all the things we needed for our stay, and were able to tell us about the cottage and the local area. A lovely location even in winter - it must be even better in spring/summer. Sadly we had chosen the cottage because a hot tub was advertised as it would have helped with the children. This was not the case. After a long time on the telephone Vrbo did compensate in part for this misrepresentation. ##### Graham B. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter S. 21 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent; but not suitable for all The property has been extensively renovated to a very high standard, and combines modern and historical features; and is well-equipped, and the bed was comfortable. Property owners are readly available, and care for the property, described its utilities, and answer questions. Access by car is challenging due to steepness and narrowness, and manageable with very slow and careful driving. There are local walks, as well as nearby villages/ towns within easy driving distance. Although described as "...Kid friendly...", I would not recommend this for young children as there is a risk of young kids damaging fine looking old furniture; and vertical metal rods that are part of the staircase have wide gaps between them that could be climbed through/ fallen through even if a gate were to be used. Internet connection was easy to connect to but had no password. Mobile phone reception was fine. We enjoyed our stay, and recommend it for most (although not suitable for all), and would be unlikely to return. ##### Peter S.

Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### susan a., LONDON 6 Jun 2022 Disliked: Communication, location, listing accuracy #### Unwelcoming To say that pets are welcome at this property is a misnomer, indeed to say that humans are welcome is misleading too. Upon arrival anyone over 18 is instructed to read the rule book .. what to do if you get a stain on a towel, no moving of furniture, leaving bed sheets in a certain way upon departure so they can be inspected for stains amongst some of the many rules. Lots of information about the history of the property and the importance of caring for the furniture ... My dog could only really stay in the kitchen, and was not welcome in the garden. We felt like the owners wanted our money but did not really want visitors. The cottage is in a very secluded and beautiful location so if that what you're looking for go ahead and book, otherwise read the small print. For the price I would expect newer towels, that were soft, good quality pillows and duvet, a more powerful shower ... and most of all to be made to feel welcome. ##### susan a.

The location itself is wonderful - waking up in bed with a view over the beautiful woodland was amazing. The hosts were very helpful - nothing was too much trouble and they made us feel very welcome. We can't recommend this cottage enough - and we hope very much to return. ##### Gill M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rob R., Edinburgh, UK 27 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stunning tranquil retreat I was working in Brighouse for a couple of weeks and decided to rent a cottage for the weekend so the family could visit. Could not have been happier with my choice. Beautiful setting in the middle of nowhere, walked through the woodland and backstreets to the main town with the dog and kids having an adventure as we went picking blackberries. The hosts are lovely and helped us feel very much at home and the cottage is stunning, a complete labour of love i’m sure. Would rebook again without thinking ##### Rob R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### kelly r., Aberdeen 1 Jan 2019 #### Beautiful cottage in a picturesque location Tyas was a beautiful, well appointment and well located cottage perfect for a nice easygoing get away. Everything you'll need is included and the lovely owners are just over the road if you need anything. I'll be coming back for sure ##### kelly r.
