  Enna and I had a lovely time in my Home County of Yorkshire.

  The Oxenhope people were very welcoming after my 19 year absence. I was so excited, as I have been in a decade almost recovery from a brain injury caused by an assault in 2013. So I was so excited about driving an EV ~ VW iD4 to Yorkshire... I could not wait to get in the driving seat again! Moorside Laithe Farm is a beautiful place to stay and The Shepherds Hut ~ Moorskies is situated under just that....the cloud formations & blue skies are stunning across the moorland and its even more vivid than I remember as a child. I was born in Bradford and it was just lovely to hear the farm animals, horses, migrating and local geese and see the Yorkshire I remember as a child. Tracey is a very kind lady and there were scrumptious cookies on arrival, tea & milk... which at the hour I arrived was most welcome! The Shepherds Hut is perfect and has everything you need after a long day walking / running etc. I felt very welcome as a single female on my own with Enna..who is a Wolfdog. She coped very well on her first holiday ever and was very well behaved in close proximity to the livestock etc... it was so relaxing and just what I needed after being away from Yorkshire for so long. Enn has Epilepsy, but thankfully did not have a seizure whilst we were away.. Being small it is very cosy and warm inside, even with the windows open and I loved the gentle sway of the hut... as it is raised off the ground on secured wheels it kind of rocked me to sleep gently at night. I wanted to light the woodstove, but would need temps to drop slightly to do so....as Enn and I like Winter... There were so many walks to do, with out necessitating driving any where..which was great for Enna and myself. Fish and Chips were a real treat for both of us ( X 3 days) and there are 3 local Fish and Chip shops! I would go back maybe in Winter next time...as I love snow and so does Enn! It feels right now that I know my origins, as an adopted child...it all came together finally... Thankyou for such a wonderful holiday Sykes Cottages, Tracey, Oxenhope & Yorkshire.

  On arrival everything the hut was perfectly charming.

  Though small it had everything anyone would need. Tiny but mighty woodburner is available to provide heat, an impressive amount of food fits in the fridge/freezer. A double ring induction hob, a combination oven,microwave and grill is available to use with everything you would need in the crockery and silver wear dept. The cutest shallow butler sink. With household eco friendly clean and sundry items in the cupboard underneath. The tiny but fully functioning shower and w.c is a very clean and comfortable space. With hanging space for all the toiletries you may wish to store. The double bed is very comfortable with and excellent view across the horses in the paddocks and small fields full of wild flower, rabbits a hunting barn owl on most days at dusk and dawn. Milly the sheep is also in residence. Even though the hosts live at the on site at the farm house my pivacy was never intruded on. It was very peaceful and extreamly quiet. You have to bare in mind it is a working small holding. Which means you may occasionally hear farm sounds and experience farm smells but nothing that could ruin your stay. All in all couldnt fault this place in anyway. Marvellous walks. Excellent farm shop approx ½ a mile down Marsh lane. Beautiful produce very nice people at Marsh farm. The bay horse is very welcoming and nothing but a short stroll away down hill into Oxenhope. With a villiage chippy next door. Well worth a visit. Definitely 10/10. Definitely rebooking. P.s thank you for the welcome pack it was very nice touch and much appreciated.

  The location is perfect on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, scenic in itself and really near (10 mins walk, a minute in the car to the parking) a large country park (Penistone Hill), perfect for dogwalks.

  Then ranging a bit wider, we went to Haworth Parsonage, to Ilkley Moor, to lovely waterfalls at Ingleton (a strenuous walk), to the Bronte Falls near the hut. The village had shops, pubs (one with good food) takeaway etc, as did everywhere else we visited. The Shepherds hut itself is small, cosy even in galeforce winds and rain, and fitted really well with all the facilities you could want. I could have cooked a full meal easily, but was happy to have a holiday from that too, so we mostly had a main meal out, then contented ourselves with snack-type meals. It was a delight to go back to the hut after our nice days out and settle down comfortably with a book and the wifi for our laptop. There's a TV too, but we seldom watch TV anyway. Skipton looks like a lovely town too, we wished we had time to fit that in too, but as the Covid19 virus was just becoming a problem (and we are both old) we decided to stick mostly to country walks rather than busy towns. Not that we've had any symptoms, nor any known contacts, but it was an easy place to stay safe too. The farm was a delight too, with horses, sheep and the families pets. If you want a rural retreat, with the option of nearby towns to visit, this is hard to beat. We loved it

  We had a wonderful stay at Moor Skies.

  The Shepherds Hut is so cosy with lovely views, lots of walks on your doorstep and plenty of wildlife to view from the windows. The hut itself is very well equipped with everything you need to cook a meal and a fold up table to sit and eat it at whilst looking down the valley at the views. Lovely toiletries and plenty of towels to use in the cute shower room. There is a key safe so you can be completely contactless if required and the owner Tracey is around if needed but we were left to get on with our holiday. Tracey kindly text us to make sure we were OK after a big storm and that we were warm enough and had enough blankets which was very thoughtful. The weather was very cold and windy when we stayed but the little log burner gives out a lot of heat plus there are a couple of heaters if required. The bed is very comfy and we slept really well after all the fresh air. We enjoyed exploring Hebden Bridge, lots of vegetarian and vegan food available and fabulous fresh artisan bread from the Blue Sky Bakery. Such a relaxing break and we would thoroughly recommend!

  Having travelled a lot and spent time in a number of Shepherds huts, this was by far the most luxurious!

  Everything was just perfect! The hut was spacious, well equipped, with beautiful views and very comfortable. A unique interior made for a really comfortable stay, with everything needed to make it so, fridge freezer, cooker, grill and microwave in one machine, a two ring hob, TV and WiFi with a fantastic bathroom and the tiniest logburner which produced an amazing amount of heat. The views from the hut were spectacular and you would never have known that the owners property was 200 yards away. The hostess was welcoming, a text message to check all was well a couple of hours after arrival was very welcome as was the tea, coffee, pint of milk and sweet treats! The location is perfect for visiting the Dale's with Haworth, the Bronte village and Hebden Bridge just a stones throw... Definitely looking to visit again!
