Just 4 miles from Shibden Hall, home of local legend Anne Lister aka ‘Gentleman Jack’ BBC/HBO tv series and in 'Happy Valley' Dyer's Cottage offers singles, couples or small families something really special. What makes it really unusual is the family history of the cottage which has been occupied by the owners family for 250 years but possibly longer. Originally a farmhouse, it was subdivided during the late 18c or early 19c into cottages for Master Dyers, hence its name. The spacious 1 bedroom accommodation, with super king size zip and link bed (or 2 twins) is fabulous with lots of character features like exposed beams, a mullioned window dating from 1650 and a superb fireplace with gas fire which looks like a woodburner but provides instant clean heat. It was sympathetically renovated in 2015 to create a delightful place to relax, maintaining all the character features yet providing an extremely high standard of comfort and style. Unusual for a cottage, the rooms are spacious and the ceilings are high so tall people are well suited though do be aware that a couple of doors are on the small side. The spacious living room has a beautiful Yorkshire stone fireplace with a gas fired stove. The leather sofa seats 3 but also extends into a sofabed with a proper base and mattress for an extra guest. Watch the SMART 50" tv with freeview channels or enjoy the free fast WiFi available all over the cottage. Dine at an antique dining table overlooking the sunny garden with a view across to Norland Moor. Taking pride of place in the bedroom is the super king Hypnos bed which is so comfortable and can be configured as 2 twins if required. The mood lighting, restored Victorian cast iron feature fireplace and old original gas light ooze character. Relish the moorland view from the bedroom window which can be enjoyed from bed too. The mood lighting, restored Victorian cast iron feature fireplace and old original gas light ooze character. The contemporary bathroom has pale grey porcelain wall and floor tiles and a long bath which widens at one end to have a shower with a glass screen.

The kitchen is fully equipped with an electric oven, electric ceramic hob, fridge with separate freezer section, microwave, small dishwasher, Nespresso Dulce Gusto coffee maker, toaster, kettle and lots of cooking equipment. Come and stay here to indulge yourselves in your own personal and private space. Chill in the sunny, secluded garden or enjoy a Spa day nearby to ease away the stresses of modern day life. Then discover Yorkshire hospitality by enjoying a meal out at one of the many excellent dining opportunities in the area. There's even an award winning CAMRA pub, also listed in the Good Beer Guide, which serves good value homecooked food as one of our neighbours. There’s so much history around us as the cottage is in the Wainhouse area of Halifax and we are actually part of the guided heritage walk called the Wainhouse Trail which takes place a few times a year but if you miss it, we have a copy you can follow on your own. Or you may be into outdoor pursuits and canals. Walking, cycling and golf are very popular and bikes can be rented locally. Halifax West End Golf Club is just a couple of miles away and welcomes visitors except on Saturday mornings. The cottage is an ideal base for 1/3 people (plus baby) if you are a romantic, interested in history or an outdoor or canal enthusiast who wishes to explore the walking or cycling trails of the West Yorkshire/Lancashire border area of the South Pennines, Bronte Country or the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It is also close to the amazing art and music culture found in the renovated textile mills, alongside bars and restaurants and is easily accessible to Leeds, York and
