Owner Ady was there to greet and give us information about the property, local facilities and surrounding area. She also provided a wonderful wlcome pack. Only drawback is that the locality could be a little challenging for less active. But Hebden Bridge and Mytholmroyd are a short drive away and there's a local bus into Halifax. All in all, a lovely stay.

Though we found the Cottage in the Sky to be comfortable, I did find the staircase rather steep. The owner was at the cottage when we arrived, and she was very welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed our stay there.
