The captivating location of Cragg Vale
Set in Cragg Vale, an area of outstanding natural beauty near Hebden Bridge, our old stone building (which previously housed tractors and forestry equipment) has been transformed into three quality holiday cottages. The location of our cottages provides the perfect location , for a variety of stays, all year round.
Although an elevated position, the roads are gritted and kept clear through the winter months, allowing the steep-sided wooded valley, fabulous moor and woodland views to be enjoyed and experienced all year round!
Although 'Cragg', as it is known locally, is secluded and peaceful, it is also a central location for visiting Yorkshire and Lancashire with road and direct rail links to Leeds and Manchester nearby.
300yds from the Calderdale Way and with numerous local walks, the cottages are ideal for people looking to explore the local countryside.
With direct access onto the longest continuous incline in England, cyclists can relish the challenge
of riding this difficult route up onto the heather clad moors.
Mountain bikers have their own set of demanding routes and this area is considered 'A Nexus for mountain bikers' (Everyday Cycling Magazine).
The local moorland golf course offers some majestic views.
The local bus 'The Cragg Flyer' stops just outside the cottages for journeys to Mytholmroyd (2miles), Hebden Bridge (4miles) or just down the road to a true local pub 'The Robin Hood'. The Hinchliffe Arms country restaurant and bar is also within walking distance.
The nearby town of Hebden Bridge has been described as '4th funkiest town in the world' and 'most individual least cloned shopping in Britain' so it's got to be worth a look.
If you do feel like venturing out of the Pennine centre... the Bronte village of Haworth, Skipton, Bradford, Leeds, York and Manchester are all within easy reach!
