Description from owner

Description

Lovingly restored to a very high standard, the Old Chapel Schoolhouse is a cottage full of character, and seamlessly combines many original features, such as exposed stone fireplaces, stone flagged floor, waxed floorboards, traditional old beams and antique furniture meshed with contemporary fixtures and fittings. This Todmorden cottage has a delightful sitting room with a warm and cosy gas stove and a large diner kitchen with original Yorkshire stone flooring, making these rooms an ideal place to eat and relax after a hard day's walking. Complimentary unlimited WiFi is available to keep you in touch. The double and twin bedrooms enjoy wonderful views across the valley and out to the surrounding moorland. The twin beds can be converted to a super-king sized bed. The property is in a slightly elevated, south facing position enjoying wonderful views yet located within 10 minutes walk from Todmorden town centre, nestled in the Upper Calder Valley, ideally suited to explore the best of both Yorkshire and Lancashire. A fantastic retreat and base for walking, cycling, golfing, horse riding or just relaxing!

The town of Todmorden, home to 'Incredible Edible' and the 'Lucky Dog' was also recently featured in BBC 1's 'Countryfile' and offers a thriving indoor and outdoor market, shops, pubs and cafes. Enjoy walks from the doorstep across the Bronte's beloved Moors, visit the village of Heptonstall with its two historic pubs, or explore the home of the Bronte sisters in nearby Haworth. There are many fantastic walks, cycle routes and horse rides close to this Todmorden cottage, from a walk to the impressive Stoodley Pike, built to commemorate the end of the Napoleonic Wars, or a gentle amble to Orchan Rocks, Whirlaw Rocks, Bride Stones, Britain's highest beach Gaddings Dam or along the canal towpath to the town of Hebden Bridge which is five miles away and boasts interesting nightlife, curiosity shops and the 'old cinema' where they serve tea and scones at the interval! Additionally, the Calderdale Way, Pennine Way and Mary Towneley Loop pass through or are very close to Todmorden.

Commutable via train to Leeds (approx 60mins) and Manchester (approx 40mins). The cottage is located ideally to explore both Yorkshire and Lancashire. This welcoming cottage is ideal for families and friends, and can be enjoyed any time of year.

“Cosy, comfortable, clean and welcoming”

Reviewed 5 Aug 2021

We had a lovely weekend stay at the Old Chapel School House which was perfect for 4 of us plus a 1 year old. The house has wonderful views in a quiet but close to town location. Inside is immaculately clean and has been refurbished beautifully, while still retaining lots of charm and character. Owner Shirley was very welcoming and went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable. There are all the facilities you would need and baby equipment, including stair gates upstairs and down. The bedrooms were both a good size with very comfortable beds. We will definitely book again and would highly recommend it to others. Shirley even gave us some seeds from her fabulous garden to take home!

“Best Stay for Local Exploration”

Reviewed 20 Sep 2020

Convenient location with easy walk to shops and amazing Markets both covered and outdoor. Regular local bus service passes the door. Quiet area with attractive views across the valley. Todmorden Railway and Bus stations gives good links to Manchester, Halifax and Leeds. Shirley was most welcoming and nothing seemed to much trouble to ensure we had the perfect stay. The welcome pack and inventory was the best ever. After the constraints of the present Pandemic are behind us we'll certainly return.

Reviewed 10 Jun 2019

We were very impressed with the cottage. All the rooms were very comfortable and they were nicely decorated. The kitchen was well stocked with crockery and cutlery and everything we needed was there. We would highly recommend this cottage, as the views were magnificent and it was on a bus route too, not far from the town of Todmorden. Alll in all a perfect place to stay.
