Syke Farm Cottage

Syke Farm Cottage suits couples seeking a quiet rural base. The conversion sits on an active farm with direct access to countryside walks and is a single storey, so there are no stairs to navigate. Everything happens on the ground floor: an open-plan living and dining area with a kitchen, a bedroom with kingsize bed, and an ensuite shower room. The kitchen has what you need to cook properly – electric oven, hob, microwave and fridge-freezer – along with a breakfast bar for informal eating. Smart TVs are in both the living room and bedroom.

Outside, there's a private hot tub on the front patio, surrounded by garden furniture and sitting space. You get your own parking for one car, plus a bike store. Electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are all included; heating is by electric central system. The property is no-smoking throughout.

The location puts you within reach of Hollingworth Lake Country Park for walks and water activities, and the Peak District moorlands are accessible from the bridleway running past the farm. Todmorden and other market towns are 20 minutes or so away if you want cafes and shops, but the immediate setting is countryside rather than built-up.
