Belvedere Farm

Have had a lovely weekend enjoying christmas celebrations with family. The house is absolutely lovely plenty of space for everyone. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic property and helpful host.

Great place to stay, Denise, the owner kept in touch even though she was on holiday herself. We needed some extra firewood, and also help with WIFI code. Both requests were quickly dealt with, by contacting Racheal, her colleague, who brought ample fuel, and confirmed log in details for WIFI. My wife Maureen and I, our son, daughter, all our grandchildren, a party of ten all enjoyed a lovely pre Christmas break together. Highly recommended.

Overall fabulous property. We are a large family of 11 ranging from 8 to 83 with 2 dogs and everyone loved the property. The welcome basket on arrival including a bottle fizz and sweets was lovely. We had a fantastic Weekend. What we couldn't fathom was needing to pay 50p for the pinball machine in the games room and a pain when we didn't have any cash., We were really looking forward to using the games room but some of the facilities were either not working or available eg. TV playstation and had this not been the case we would have scored 5 stars. The only other problem we had was that one of the ovens didn't seem to reach temperature, and caused some challenges when cooking for so many but we did manage. The cottage is well located but we stayed put all weekend and loved the large grounds and walks. Games room had a working pool table but TV, playstation didn't work not available. Had to pay 50p for pinball machine, but on the other hand received In the kitchen, the kitchen tap was loose and one of the ovens didn't seem to heat properly.

Belverdere Farm is a lovely relaxing place to stay, it sits at the bottom of a secluded valley. Its so peaceful with lots of quirky places to chill. On our arrival as we drove down the track we spotted squirrels and deer, and during the rest our stay we continued see these plus cows, a fox, a heron, ducks and moor hens. The house its self is beautiful with several different size rooms which meant with 4 generations in the house, we were able to gather as a family and separate as needed. The kitchen is large with an unconventional layout but it works for large groups, we were able gather around the long table and still be able to cook. Our granddaughter especially liked to space for fire engine. The bedrooms are each unique and comfortable with plenty of space, however not all the bathrooms have locks on so we had to come up with a system when using so no one walked in on any one when showering. Unfortunately for us the weather wasn't kind so we were unable to use the outdoor seating areas often. We might have been able to use the top patio if the cushions had been kept in a storage box when raining. We did however use the hot tub, another great addition to the house and it was very enjoyable relaxing in the rain. The Games room is a fantastic addition its like your own personal pub, for us the orientation of the pool table meant, we interrupted the darts and vice versa when playing. The go karts provided some extra entertainment for the big kids. Denise is a great host with a fantastic property, her directions are perfect for finding Belverdere Farm totally ignore Sykes. We had the most relaxed week and would highly recommend a stay here.

Absolutely great place

The property was clean and well presented. There was plenty of crockerycutlery and cooking pots pans etc for our stay. We had a couple of issues with a beeping smoke alarm and a leaking shower but once the owner was contacted these were resolved with little affect on our stay. The trampoline gave endless fun to my two Grandchildren who also enjoyed walks along the paths by the property. Evenings were spent in the games room where pool was a great favorite with the men. As was the big screen with projector where they watched films. Only down side was the weather which was windy and cold at times.

Beautifully decorated and very well presented spacious house in lovely grounds. We had an amazing week away as a group of 12 friends. The house contains everything you need for a week away. The games room was a great addition which we used every night and the girls enjoyed a prosecco or two in the hot tub. The driveway is long and steep at the beginning so be prepared if you want to walk to the pub, shops or local park. This does also mean delivery companies are reluctant to drop off shopping and takeaways direct to the house and sometimes had to be met at the gate. It did not affect us, its the joys of being a bit secluded and is mentioned in the property description. Finally I would like to thank the owner Denise who makes you feel so welcome, from the first contact, checking in during the week and then communication on the last day she is a delight to deal with. If I ever had a question she responded very promptly. All in I would highly recommend Belvedere Farm.

Absolutely lovely property. We genuinely enjoyed our weeks stay. The house comfortably accommodated 3 generations of our family.

Wow, what a house! Belvedere Farm is a great place to stay for a large family group. Very clean, beautifully decorated and spacious with room to be together or find a quiet spot. Access by key code on the electric gate, then a long steep drive, Denise gave excellent directions before check in, ignore the directions Sykes provide. Knowing that supermarket delivery would be tricky, we chose to click and collect at Tesco's in Halifax. Hipperhome has a small Tesco Express and Morrisons. The games room was a great addition, with it's own large outdoor seating area, there is also a basketball hoop, pedal gokarts and football goals. The house also has a lovely terrace with plenty of seating and a charcoal BBQ, the hot tub was clean and well maintained by Denise who came to check on it midweek. The view up the valley from the first floor balcony was lovely, we saw deer, foxes, ducks and the squirrels. The newly built kitchen extension provides lots plenty of room for indoor dining, there's a big fridge freezer and a drinks fridge, it's well equipped with everything you need. We had some nice trips out to Shibden Hall and park, the Piece Hall in Halifax, Haworth and Leeds. Belvedere Farm is a fabulous place to stay.

Can not fault this property or the owners. We had such an amazing time for my partners 40th. Ive got to admit the best part for the kids & big kids was the go kart races down the drive way

Perfect! We stayed here as a large family group with 2 dogs to celebrate my hubbys 50th birthday over a long weekend then we stayed as a couple and 1 dog for the remainder of the week. This is a really special house. Set back down a track road off the A58 not Wood Lane once you know where the gates are its easy to get to. The house itself has pretty much everything you could ask for my only quibble would be supplying a better whisk in the otherwise exceptionally equipped kitchen. The bedrooms are all spacious and comfortable. Great selection of bathrooms. Living areas are well furnished and homely. We noticed some things not listed including instant hot water tap, ninja air fryer, Nescaf dolce gusto pod coffee machine. 2 high chairs for toddlers.The bbq is now a coal drum version. The games room has a projector that can play you tube music if you hook up your mobile phone hot spot proper party atmosphere. We spent hours down there !! Theres also a pinball machine that takes 20p and 50p pieces although Denise the owner put some credits on for us too. The pond is lovely with its own ducks and moor hens, A bin of birdseed is on the drive to feed them although theres an ongoing battle with some very well fed grey squirrels getting into the bin. So funny to watch. Theres also a herd of cows that regularly visits the far side of the pond dont worry they dont cross ! and we spotted a red deer in the fields opposite and along the house driveway. Although you are not that far from the road you dont really hear it at all. Its a party pad and a beautiful countryside retreat at the same time. Denise didnt bother us but messaged a couple of times to check all was ok and to let us know she was close by if needed. All in all an amazing week at a very special property and we will definitely be back ! Thank you Denise x

Property was amazing. Plenty of space and rooms all beautifully decorated and cleaned so well. Really looking forward to our next stay and looking to return again next year.

We have just stayed at Belvedere Farm for 3 nights, to celebrate our sons 40th birthday, we have had a fabulous time, A fully equipped home with everything you would need for cooking& cleaning. Lovely hot tub within a beautiful setting. Even managed a BBQ although the weather wasnt brilliant but a beautiful sun room to sit in, We had a blast in the bargames room, we spent every night in there The owners were lovely they kept in touch over the weekend if we needed anything, even left us a lovely little hamper and a nice vase of flowers We were privileged to share there home, hopefully we can return one day in the not too distant future

What a truly AMAZING stay at this fabulous property! The owner Denise was a 5 host and did everything she possibly could to ensure we had a wonderful trouble free experience. Denise genuinely cares and was quick to respond to my texts. Even arranging for a new gas bottle to be dropped off and connected to the BBQ ready for our birthday party celebrations! The kids loved and devoured the welcome basket filled with sweets and treats! Looking more closely at the Sykes photos I can see where improvements have been made, the dining room is a bit of a tight squeeze but there is now a long table in the games room making it even more of a great social space! Theres also a pinball machine so bring some coins to use it! I was very surprised and appreciated that plenty of coal and wood was supplied to keep us going for 4 chilly February nights some Sykes cottages only provide enough for a single night and is a hassle finding somewhere to buy more wood. The hot tub is newer than the one in the photos. Denise explained how to set the temperature St setting and we didnt have any problems with it, heating up to 40c and was enjoyed by everyone every evening! I think the description given by a previous reviewer is fair homely and comfortable without being perfect due to some older aspects of the house that have been mentioned in other reviews. These aspects didn't detract from us all having a lovely time, this is more than just a house, its set up so well for making special happy memories that will last a lifetime with friends and family! I would highly recommend booking this property.

Great house in a beautiful setting, the house is huge with a separate games ... Great house in a beautiful setting, the house is huge with a separate games room, there was plenty of room for us all to have our own space, the owner was very helpful A few niggly bit though, the cooker needs replacing the owner did tell us it was being done this year some of the the other appliances also need replacing, lots of the light bulbs needed replacing especially in the lounge, also the hot tub didn't seem to get past 35 which wasn't warm enough when the outside temperature was so cold, unfortunately we only used it once Saying all of that we had a lovely week

Had a wonderful stay the house is amazing. My guest loved it however due to the location it did cause some issues. The path to the house is not great if you are not a confident driver added with a cover of snow menqt some of my guest didn't arrive. We parked cars at the entrance and had to walk to the house which is a good 15 mins with no lighting at all and local taxis would not drive down meaning our planned night out couldn't happen. This didnt ruin our weekend as we loved been in the house however I can imagine would cause problems for anyone with mobility issues.

We had a great family stay at Belvedere Farm, Denise was a brilliant host and nothing was too much trouble. We have been having large family holidays for a number of years now and the places we have stayed have varied a lot. What we particularly liked about Belvedere Farm was it was homely and comfortable without being perfect. We felt we could relax with both the children and the dogs which is not the case in some of the pristine and clinical places weve stayed. Some of the appliances like the cooker and washing machine are likely to need updating at some point, but we coped and I managed a full roast dinner on the Sunday without being totally sure what temperature I had the oven set at! Thanks Denise for a great week.

Great outdoor space gor kids to play and families to be together. The games room is also a great place for everyone to have fun but it needs a new pool table . The kitchen in the main house is tired and needs more cooking facilities. The dining room was a tight squeeze for our family of 12. The upstairs was great again for the family to sit together and have some fun and the bedrooms were nice and comfy. We had a very enjoyable long weekend making lots of lovely memories

We had a wonderful 5 days at Belvedere Farm. It is a hidden gem, nestled in a beautiful valley, easy to get to but away from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding towns. The house is very well set up for large groups, with fabulous indoor and outdoor spaces including a bar and hot tub!! Lovely linens and towels, comfortable beds and great bathrooms with super showers. Denise the owner was extremely helpful, answering any of our queries quickly and encouraging us to use the facilities to the full. The house is within walking distance of Shibden Hall and Park, close to Halifax and Piece Hall, Haworth and Ogden Water. It is a fabulous place to stay!!

Beautiful property in an amazingly secluded spot. Loads for the adults and children to do all in one place.

We all had a wonderful time. Great place for large families to come together and make memories. Everyone loved the games room and improved their pool skills. The house was perfect for hide and seek even the grandmas joined in. We will miss our woodland walks and adventures. A wonderful home, in a beautiful spot. Thank you for making us feel so welcome and making our holiday extra special.

We stayed at Belvedere Farm as a party of 12 for my birthday. We all loved the house and there was plenty of room for us all inside and out! The hot tub was popular but the biggest hit was the games room, we named it the Open Arms Pub, as that's where we ended up every night, facilities were great, pool table, darts, games, projector that we played music videos on, fridges for drinks and toilet facilities. We had so much fun! Beautiful place to relax and lots of wildlife and walks to enjoy. Denise, the owner met us on arrival, and kept in touch throughout the week to make sure we were ok. We would definitely recommend and we will definitely return in the future.

It was perfect, lovely and clean, well equipped, very homely. The owner met us on arrival, explained about the house, contacted us during our stay to make sure we were all ok. Would highly recommend to all.

The most amazing weekend spent at the perfect location. The weather was beautiful, the owner was friendly and accommodating and the facilities were perfect. So much fun and laughter for my birthday spent with friends. Would 1000 recommend and will definitely be returning next year. Thank you for having us!

Lovely well equipped property with very helpful friendly owner. Some maintenance to some appliances and doors required and the kitchen and dining room were too small for 12 guests although this is being addressed I understand. The hot tub was clean and well maintained, There is an unfenced deep drop in the garden which is dangerous for children it would be better covered over for safety. The games room was great and the house was set in spacious and peaceful grounds. Overall, a really great holiday.

We had the best time at Belvedere Farm, the house is beautiful and the views are amazing. Didnt want to leave! thank you so much to the owner for all the help and information, lovely lady x

Excellent spacious home. Wonderful owner Denise extremely helpful when hot tub required maintenance. Games room a real bonus. Kitchen and dining room on the small side for such a big property however I believe the owners are addressing this next year. Slouchy sofas ok for lounging on but not overly comfortable for sitting upright. BBQ a great asset, fabulous surroundings, wildlife and foliage great to watch. Plenty of outdoor furniture enabling Al fresco dining weather permitting. As it was Coronation weekend I asked permission to decorate the games room with bunting and flags which Denise was perfectly agreeable to. The peace and tranquillity was amazing. Thank you Denise for sharing your wonderful property. Suzanne and Gary.

Lovely house in a beautiful location. Fabulous long weekend with friends had everything we needed. Will definitely return.

Fabulous place and site. ..Great for families. Interesting places to visit. The owners could not have been more helpful.Any problems were dealt with immediately. Would suggest meeting the owner to make sure you find the property ..she was extremely helpful as the information to reach the property on your email to us would not get you by car right to the property!

Wonderful stay and would recommend to other. Host is very helpful

Fantastic property and facilities

Lovely setting, met by host who guided us to the house as driveway difficult to locate. The Owners were super fast to respond to any queries we had. The games room was a huge hit with us all, especially the teenagers. Fabulous house for four familys to get together. Hope we can stay again as lots to see locally and lovely walks from the door.

The stay was brilliant . The owner was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble . If we.asked questions they replied straight away . The place is amazing. Great for either familys to.get together or friends . Plenty of space . Would definitely go back . We went for.a long weekend but would stop.for a.week definitely. There's a.nice place.to eat.just.up the road from the.House. walking distance The tannery. There's plenty of land round the house to walk .

After a 7 night stay at Belevedere farm, I wished that I'd booked at least another week or longer. The house is beautiful, and every single bedroom was spacious but cosy. We all loved the walks around the house as well as the garden and hot tub. The living room with the fire was so cosy, and having a few living spaces meant we had enough room for everyone to relax in peace. I can't recommend staying here enough we will be back to stay!

A really lovely property owner is very welcoming. We stayed first week of October 2022. Plenty of rooms for a large party. Having more than one lounge meant the adults could have one and the young adults had the other! Lots of fresh towels and bedding. Lovely and clean. Highly recommend staying at this property as a good location for Yorkshire. The dogs also loved the grounds the Vizsla especially loved the pond! Well done owners you have a gem there!

Had an amazing weekend away with friends, the host could not be more accommodating and helpful, the whole property is a brilliant place for families or groups who want to spend quality time together, but also have the space to go off by themselves but will definitely come by car next time!

Booked this for my Nans 80th birthday as a family get together. The house is gorgeous and looks like the photos. The host was unable to meet us but arranged someone to greet us, left a little care package and text to check everything was okay throughout the stay. The facilities are great! The only tiny downside is some general wear and tear, some of the bedroom doors didnt shut had to be propped closed and the gym is now a bar games room. Not a downside now, just a shock as two PTs in the family who were expecting a gym! Overall a gorgeous place and a fantastic host owner. Would 100 recommend!! Already looking at booking again next year.

Lovely big property with plenty of room available for everyone to get some peace and quiet. The terrace catches the sun on an afternoon and evening which is lovely. We loved the jacuzzi and enjoyed the walks around the property. Theres lots of room for dogs to roam and explore in a safe and secure garden which was great. The set up of the farm takes a bit of getting used to as the kitchen is on the bottom floor whereas the main living areas are upstairs but you soon get used to going up and down the stairs. The property has a games room which has a bar and pool table as well as a darts board in it. Theres a box of toys which was great for our kids too.

Had a fantastic holiday in Belvedere Farm, lovely tranquil setting for my birthday get together. Plenty of space so we could all get a bit of me time, reading a book, watching tv in the many comfortable seating areas. The dogs had a fantastic week too, plenty of space to run around whilst being secure. Will certainly be back many times again. The hosts were very friendly and helpful, thank you very much for a lovely stay
