What a brilliant holiday home. The place is so spacious and beautifully decorated. The hot tub with the surrounding plants was bliss. Its the little touches that set this place apart; obviously the jukebox, a heating light to dry off by the hot tub, a hanger for drying your swim stuff, tvs with Netflix on and spices! Having three living spaces was awesome and it felt so spacious. Jo & Robert were wonderful hosts. Really chilled and helpful.

The qu ality and selection in the welcome box of goodies could not have been better. In short, 5 stars for everything, a perfect house and perfect hosts!

We had a great stay at the Spice House and found it to be a comfortable and well equipped base from which to explore the local area.

There are lots on fantastic local walks and particularly recommend strolling across the local viaduct, Howarth or the nearby reservoir.

We loved our break here as did our two dogs - very good location for visiting local landmarks - we went to Bront Waterfalls Saltaire and Hebden Bridge and a great Sunday lunch too all in one day. Hot tub very nice after a long day. The accommodation is top notch and has everything and I mean everything you need. Thanks for a great stay

Spice house is a beautiful spacious holiday cottage on 2 levels. The bi folding door allowed the colourful mature garden to merge wonderfully with the burnt orange colour scheme throughout. It was relaxing sitting of a morning with a tea listening to the bees buzzing about their business. The hot tub was spotless and very well maintained. Loved the originality of the juke box it had a wide selection for everyone to enjoy of an evening. We enjoyed our week very much. A touch of luxury!

A great property. The house was beautifully furnished and very well equipped. The garden area is stunning and the hot tub is a bonus. The owners live next door and after giving us a warm welcome made sure we had privacy. The location is ideal for exploring the many lovely places in West Yorkshire. Highly recommended.

Pat

From arriving till leaving the holiday was perfect, the most relaxing holiday ever. This was in many ways due to Jo and Robert. The house was amazing and so well appointed with a great deal of thought going into our stay. The welcome hamper, the cleanliness of the hot tub, the robes together with lots of unexpected items eg games, duke box and even an area to change after using the hot tub with a heater. A place to stay that we would 100% recommend to everyone.
