Previously the village Post Office, this charming period property has been beautifully modernised into a stylish bolthole for walkers, cyclists and families. Home to a friendly pub, the picturesque village of Holme is a peaceful location for rural escapes, while just 2.5 miles away, Holmfirth offers a choice of quirky shops and restaurants to enjoy. When you’re not indulging in a spot of retail therapy or sampling local cuisine, journey south into the stunning Peak District National Park to walk its heather-clad hills, abseil its crags or paddle its lakes. Afterwards, return to base to warm up beside the wood burner, indulge in a long soak in the slipper bath or simply sit back and admire the breathtaking rural views. Step inside to find a fantastic open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, tastefully finished in an understated industrial style. Whether you’re staying with family or friends, this generous and airy room is the perfect place to return to after busy and exciting days out. Chefs of the group will delight in the simple yet stylish kitchen area, with its charming exposed stone wall and light and airy feel. Once prepared, enjoy evening meals together at the rustic dining table, with its steel legs, statement dining chairs and delightful window seat. After long walks through the Peaks, curl up on one of the elegant sofas and settle in for an evening of TV, films or games while the wood burner keeps you and your four-legged friends cosy and warm. When the day is done, climb the fabulous concrete staircase to the first floor to reach the bedrooms and bathrooms. Each of the three bedrooms has been finished in fresh and serene tones that complement the original oak flooring perfectly and set the scene for restful nights. The king-size bedroom boasts a fabulous original stone fireplace, while the double bedroom is finished with quirky artwork. Finally, the triple bunk bedroom offers a single bed over a double bed. After a long walk, there’s no better way to soothe tired muscles than with a long, indulgent soak in the slipper bath, which sits charmingly beside an exposed stone wall. If you’re more of a shower person, choose between the luxurious walk-in shower in the bathroom or the stylish metro tiled shower in the separate shower room. If you’re planning to explore this stunning area on two wheels, you will be pleased to find a secure outhouse for bicycle storage. Car parking meanwhile is available in a courtyard across the road on a first-come, first-served basis.
