Information about the host

The Old Wash Kitchen is a cosy, quirky 2 bedroomed cottage for 4 nestling in the heart of the picturesque village of Hinchliffe Mill, a location with views made famous in the comedy series The Last of The Summer Wine and overlooks the river Holme and mill pond, a haven to birds and wildlife. It is surrounded by beautiful countryside, rolling green hills, moorland, 5 reservoirs, an endless number of walks from the door, 2 local dog friendly pubs, a village shop, tearoom & vineyard with restaurant only 5 to 10 minutes walk away, numerous pubs & eateries within a mile and an array of shops, takeaways, pubs, bars, restaurants, cafes and The Picturedrome music venue in the centre of the market town of Holmfirth only a short, flat, 1 mile walk away. With so much open space and so many places to explore, and with all the dog friendly shops and pubs, the area is ideal for dog walkers - that's why we accept up to 2 dogs free of charge. We offer the free use of a fishing permit for up to 2 guests wishing to fish at Bottoms Dam only a 5 minute walk from the cottage, and for cosy nights in there is a selection of board games, an Xbox and games, a dvd player and DVD's and books
