Hollins Wood Bothy in Sheffield

"Tucked away ion the middle of fields, this excellent conversion of a former derelict small stone barn provides interesting and unusual accommodation for a couple with all mod cons. Cosy and compact it may be but it is all there! Owned by friendly and helpful local people who gave us a great welcome with a bottle of wine, milk in the fridge and flowers in each room!!! ..."

"For a short break in an idyllic location the Hollins wood bothy is a must for all ages. Arriving through the woods sets the scene before you get to the hidden gem, this well equipped stone cottage delivers on all fronts giving you the option to do as much or a little as you want. If walking is your past time there is a raft of information for all levels or if you just want to chill out this hidden gem will not disappoint. Had a great stay and we'll visit again."

"Just what my wife and I needed after a hectic few months moving house in Liverpool. So peaceful and welcoming, even as we approached through the fields. Extremely comfortable bed, good wi-fi and mobile coverage, fabulous "sitting-out areas" for catching the sun and chilling. Great walks around the cottage and Wortley village. Handy for Peak district and Yorkshire Dales. Returned home with our "batteries fully recharged" Highly recommended!"

"Could not fault the property or welcome. Property is reached via a farm track as advertised and we did get stuck because it was dark and we missed the hard surface!, our fault. Owner most helpful in getting us out again. Nice and warm, and the log burner was great. very handy for the motorway and all local attractions. The Wortley Arms does great food and the butcher/village shop does amazing pies :)"

"I stayed at the bothy for a weeks holiday in August. The place is in a beautiful setting, furnished to a high standard, quiet and peaceful. Perfect for a solo holiday or for a couple seeking a quiet and romantic getaway. Very helpful pre arrival instructions, a lovely welcome and a wonderful stay. The property is ideally situated for access to the sculpture triangle which includes the fabulous Yorkshire Sculpture Park and the Hepworth museum in Wakefield. I also enjoyed a day trip to Harrogate and a trip to Sheffield while I was there. Would love to stay again. "

"Hollins Wood Bothy was small, cosy and perfectly formed. The standard of finish in the cottage is very high and it is a great place to spend time or to go out and explore the area with the brilliant guides provided by the owners. This is a special place to spend some time and was a perfect place for a few days away relaxing. I can't recommend this place highly enough."

"If you are interested in somewhere small and cosy then this is absolutely perfect. It is finished to a very high standard and has everything you need for a trip away. It is within walking distance of the village but far enough away to be quiet as well. The owners are so welcoming without being intrusive and couldn't be more helpful. There are walks provided from the Bothy and plenty of information about the local area. If you're after somewhere to go and relax then I cant reccomend this highly enough. My only hesitation in writing a five star review is that we want to go back and don't want it to be booked up! A very special place indeed."

"Our stay at the Hollins Wood Bothy was a very special and enjoyable one. Our host greeted us, and was friendly and enthusiastic, and with just cause; the Bothy is more impressive than in the photos. Set in a peaceful, secluded rural setting, yet easy to get to, the Bothy has been beautifully restored - it speaks of history on the outside, yet inside it is very modern and has everything you could need. With incredibly thick walls, it is warm and quiet, and it has an immediate, welcoming charm and cosiness; it made for a relaxing, romantic holiday. There are a plethora of things to do and beautiful places to see in the area, and many others a short drive away. It was a lovely stay and we'll cherish the memories."

"If you're looking for a secluded cottage, but with modern touches, such as wifi and dishwasher, washing machine etc, this is the place for you. Hollins Wood Bothy is a beautiful, modern, clean, cosy cottage set in the grounds of a working farm. The cottage itself is located between a sheep field (wake up and see sheep from the bedroom window. Bliss!) and another field with a few cows in (they'll come and say hello if you let them). Don't let the 'working farm' part put you off. You don't encounter farmers walking past the Bothy, nor is anyone in the field milking cows or shearing sheep. For all intents and purposes, you are alone! There are woods opposite which are perfect for walking. The Bothy even comes with its own 'bespoke' walks - direct from the Bothy! Just grab one of the guides and go. A really nice touch, and one of several (I won't name them or it'll spoil the surprise!) We felt as though we were in the middle of nowhere. You can't hear the traffic and as I said, we didn't see the farmer at all on our week stay. It's just you and the wildlife. The owners made us feel welcome and the little touches on our arrival were very much appreciated. We spent the week hanging out in the Bothy, sitting in the garden, visiting the big cities (Leeds, Manchester and Sheffield) which were all under an hour away. The little village of Wortley is home to the local pub, a post office and farm shop (jam and meat are both highly recommended!). You can walk to it from the Bothy in about 40 minutes. The Peak District is located a short drive away too, making the Bothy ideally located for exploring the natural beauty of the north and also enjoying shopping and nightlife of the cities. I need to tell you about the bed at the Bothy. You will not sleep on a better bed. It was so good that my partner and I looked it up online - we want it for our flat! It's totally out of our price range though! haha! Everything in the Bothy is top notch. The owners have spared no expense to ensure you have a brilliant stay. We can't wait to go back! Thank you John and Rowena!"

"The cottage is exactly as described. We received such a warm welcome and the personal touches were greatly received! The Bothy includes everything you need for a fantastic rural escape. You could just spend all your time inside the Bothy and enjoy the natural surroundings (your only neighbours being the sheep, cows and pheasants. Oh, and the hare!). Included in the cosy cottage was everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable and relaxed. Basically, the Bothy is the ideal countryside escape which still has 21st century mod cons. We wanted a quiet, secluded home which still had wifi and what we got was so much more. "

"My mother and I stayed here for a weekend while we had a lot of work to do (I had exams and she had reports to write). We wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of normal life and retreat into the country for a working break. Our stay was lovely, we had a very warm welcome on arrival and were shown where everything is. The complimentary tea, coffee and cake was delicious! We got plenty of work done as it is so peaceful, only the sheep around to keep you company! But the village is a short drive away if you want to explore or get an supplies. There are walking route plans provided in the bothy, depending on how long you want to be walking for and what kind of terrain you fancy. The bothy itself is furnished very tastefully and is well equipped with most things you need. The wood burner is a lovely touch for the cold winter days. We would love to return when we have no work and are able to relax and enjoy the picturesque countryside. I can't recommend this little gem enough."
