Come and explore the beautiful area seen in "Gentleman Jack" “Happy Valley” and "Last Tango in Halifax"
• Beautifully restored

• Car not required
• Close to all amenities
• Bath and shower
• Good WiFi and desk
• Superking or 2 twin beds in bedroom
• Sofabed
• Tall people welcome
This cottage is extremely unusual in that it has a very long documented history of occupants since 1777 when the owners 3x gt grandfather was born here and succeeding generations of his family have continued to live there whilst working in the nearby dyeworks (long gone except for the 77m chimney, now the tallest folly in the world called Wainhouse Tower).
It oozes character with ceiling beams, an inglenook fireplace with a gas fired stove, restored pine doors and exposed stonework. The mullioned window in the kitchen dates from 1650 when it was part of a farmhouse. Unusually for a cottage, it has spacious rooms and high ceilings but please be aware that the stairs are steep.
The sunny garden has beautiful views across the valley and is a lovely place to relax after a day out.
The fully equipped kitchen features an electric oven and ceramic hob, a small dishwasher, a fridge with small freezer, a microwave and a Dolce Gusto coffee maker.
A washer/dryer is hidden in a modern cupboard in the contemporary upstairs bathroom with a white suite and grey porcelain tiles. The long shower bath widens at one end and has an Aqualisa digital rain shower as well as a hand shower attachment. The gas central heating boiler is inside a cupboard. We provide an illuminated mirror, shaver socket, and complimentary bath and shower products.
There is a landing with a desk and good Wifi is available throughout the cottage.
The sunny bedroom has a lovely view, a Victorian feature fireplace, in built storage and a magnificent superking ( 2m long, 1.8m wide) Hypnos bed. This can be configured as 2 long single beds by prior arrangement. There is also space for a baby to sleep in a travel cot which can also be provided along with a bath seat, changing mat and toys. We provide high quality bed linen, towels, mattress, pillow and duvet protectors.
Relax in the living room with its woodblock flooring, antique dining table, and comfortable seating including a chair with local place names. The leather sofa extends into a proper sprung bed for an additional guest. The paintings and wall decorations all have a local theme and we have a 50” SMART tv with over 100 freeview channels, a DVD player, a little library of books, and games. Don’t forget to bring your Netflix and Amazon Prime log in details for a chilled evening in.
Calderdale is now famous as a filming destination and our heritage locality has featured in "Last Tango in Halifax", "Happy Valley" and "Gentleman Jack". Walk and cycle the many miles of footpaths/cycleways locally such as the Calder Valley Greenway. Stay here to work locally, visit family and friends, explore nature and walk the canal towpaths. The Calder and Hebble Navigation and the Rochdale Canal are a short walk from the cottage. Explore the South Pennines and Yorkshire Dales NP, visit Haworth/ Bronte Country or historic York. Industrial archaeology abounds here and converted mills now host shops, bars, restaurants, exhibitions, and art galleries. Don't forget to visit the fabulous Piece Hall in Halifax where the hand loom weavers used to sell their pieces of cloth. This magnificent Grade11 listed building offers a retail and cultural experience.
Located in the Pye Nest area of Halifax, under the shadow of the famous Wainhouse Tower, the cottage is perfectly located. A bus passes the gate and both Sowerby Bridge and Halifax stations are 1 and 2 miles away and Calderdale Royal Hospital is 1 mile. Shopping, pubs and restaurants are within a short walk and on street parking is available. An award winning CAMRA pub nearby offers lovely home cooked Yorkshire fare and a very friendly welcome to our guests.

Response from the owner Thank you so much for sparing the time to write this review. I am so pleased that you enjoyed your weekend in Halifax. As you say, there is so much to see and do especially now that Anne Lister has become famous as a result of the BBC/HBO series 'Gentleman Jack'. It would be lovely if you can visit again.

Response from the owner I am so pleased you enjoyed your holiday despite the torrential storm you experienced. Dyer's cottage is , as you say, situated in a very good location for transport, shops, a great pub and there are so many walks too. Shibden Hall, home of Anne Lister/Gentleman Jack is just 4 miles away and previous guests have even walked there. We do hope that you are able to return sometime.
