Belvedere Farm

What a perfect location for a family birthday get together. Has absolutely everything you need for a party including a separate partgames room set a little away from the main house. Very convenient for Hipperholme and Halifax but secluded enough to feel as if you're in the middle of nowhere.

One of the best places we have stayed and would definitely rebook. We had a problem with one of the lights when we arrived and the owner was there within 20 minutes and had it fixed. Rachel the housekeepermanager was also so attentive. I would highly recommend

Great house tucked away . Games room comfortable lounges nice bedrooms , For a Christmas house perfect pubs and cafes nearby for a crisp walk . Hare and hounds for Sunday lunch perfect. Think it would be even better in summer great outdoor space . We went as 6 couples and loved it had a great 3 night stay dec 25

Our group of 8 family and friends and our 2 labradors had a lovely stay. Fantastic communication with Denise and Rachel before and during our stay helped our holiday go even more smoothly. The house had everything we could wish for. Although we were an adult group this house would be fantastic for children. Beautiful outlook and we all loved watching the wildlife, especially the deer. Great walks from the door for dogs and central location to explore the surrounding area, great for shopping, takeaways and pubs too. Can highly recommend.

We had a great stay and had everything we needed. Only small niggle is that we could have done with some more kitchenware as there were 11 of us staying. Also there were only 2 tea towels

This property has the wow factor and is in a beautiful setting. Our family enjoyed a lovely week. However, the first view you have near the house is a huge pile of rubbish and it does spoil the first impression. You then see this each time you come in and out. Several things did not work well the stove was very slow, the TV in the children's lounge was broken, there were only 4 teaspoons, doors did not close and the bannisters were loose going up to the third and fourth floor. The trampoline was unusable. For the money charged these niggles should be fixed. Paying for the pinball machine also seemed petty. We did love the space, the views and the pumpkin room was our favourite.

Amazing place, had everything we needed and was very clean. Stayed for my mums hen weekend and it was perfect she loved every second.

The house was lovely. Just what we wanted and met up with our expectations. The beds were comfortable and the house was clean and tidy with good amenities. The owner was in contact during our stay to make sure all was ok. The complimentary items were a nice touch. The games books pencils and toys were all appreciated. The location was great for days out and walking from the house. We would definitely recommend the house for a great place to stay. Thank you.

Had a fab stay, all the beds are super comfy and the rooms are great for a group of 12. Hot tub was def every day and was a massive hit with the kids, best one Ive been in! Rachel kept in touch and was quick to reply to any questions. It has a lovely toy room for the little ones as well. Perfect week.

Unfortunately we had no electricity from 930 until 6 o clock on the Monday which was our only full day there but Denise came round to make sure we were ok and update us. She kept in contact throughout the day. She arranged for us to go to a local butchersdeli to eat and also provided us with a BBQ pack from the butchers which was very kind of her. Only thing was couldnt use the jacuzzi or charge any of our phones iPads etc.

We had such a great stay, made our trip perfect! An incredible property and the owners communication was fast and reliable! I highly recommend! 5 stars!

Lovely property in beautiful surroundings. Quiet and relaxing but near enough to local shops for everything you need. Hot tub and games room kept everyone amused. Safest outdoor space for the kids to run around away passing traffic which just added to our ability to relax. Enough TVs to suit different tastes. Enough bathrooms for everyone too. Had such a lovely time could not fault it. Plenty of areas for everyone to get together and plenty of spaces to escape for some quiet time. The outdoor terrace overlooking the hot tub and gardens was my favourite place I could have stayed forever. If I had to find a negative it would only be that we would have liked a little more information on the history of the property and maybe a few more instructions on how to use some of the appliances and how things worked.

Had a great weekend at Belvedere Farm for my sisters 80 birthday . . The family of 12 and the dogs had lots of space to celebrate and chill . Plenty of games and other entertainments if the weather turns wet .. Great memories .. thank you

All amazing, could have a canopy and maybe patio heaters on the ground floor outside space or down near the games room.

Overall we have had a great stay. The house is huge, with plenty of room for everyone. The games room and grounds were brilliant, and the kids loved the trampoline, the go karts, the basketball net etc. We did have several issues on arrival unfortunately the electric gate stopped working and I had to ring the owner she was unable to attend in person so had to talk me through how to check the fuse box the fuse had tripped. The oven wasn't working, there was no hot water in the ensuite bathroom, and the hot tub was frothing because the pH levels hadn't been checked and adjusted. To be fair, the property manager came out the next day and these issues were resolved, but it was a frustrating start to our weekend and did spoil it a little. The length and steepness of the track to the property wasn't what we expected either a certain degree of fitness is required if you want to walk anywhere and it wouldn't be suitable for anyone with mobility issues. That said, overall we did enjoy our stay and the adults and kids alike loved playing pool and darts, that was a real bonus, so thank you!

Everything was absolutely great.

Lovely property, very clean and a beautiful relaxing space with all the amenities we could possibly need for a fabulous break!

The home is beautiful and in stunning surroundings but I feel there is work to be done especially when you are charging the amount that you are for guests to stay. There were a number of issues noticed during the stay. The bedroom en suite on the first floor was bitterly cold. The actual bedroom warmed slightly over the course of the 2 days but the ensuite remained freezing cold due to no heating in there. There is a large dip in the kitchen floor that more than one family member fell down and could have resulted in a serious injury. In the games room there is no side on the pool table meaning the balls just fall out and roll all over the floor, Of 5 available pool cues only 1 was able to be used due to the other 4 being damaged. I feel if you're charging 100 per night this kind of thing can be overlooked but for top money you expect top accommodation and this house COULD be that but unfortunately it isn't yet.

We were a group of 9 friends celebrating our 40th birthdays and had a fantastic 3 night stay at Belvedere Farm. Location was great, house is set in its own large grounds so no need to worry about noise. Ample seating, comfy beds, brilliant games room although the pool table could do with some repairs and new pool cues and darts. The hot tub of an evening was lovely, the kitchen has all you need and the place was spotless. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

Although we had a lovely weekend away here, there were a number of things which we werent happy with. The listing shows a trampoline this was on its side dumped in the corner of the garden. The hot tub which I appreciate the owner had to replace at the last minute only got warm towards the sat evening, we arrived Friday left Monday. The lights didnt work in the lounge. There was a lady bug infestation, which meant one of the rooms wasnt suitable for sleeping in and ended with sofa surfing. The kitchen table didnt comfortably fit 12, therefore we had to eat in two sittings. The WiFi is very poor. The pool table was faulty as a result of the side being removed and the balls kept falling off. The main house itself needs updating generally. As I say, we did have a nice time as you make the best of weekends away but do I feel it was worth what we paid unfortunately not.

All great, we had a fantastic time and it is a wonderful house. Both the owner and the manager were lovely.

Amazing luxurious property in great location to visit Shibden Park, Halifax, Hebden Bridge and Haworth. Ideal for large number of people or couples. Would definitely rebook.

We got caught in the middle of a snowstorm but the owners were absolutely lovely and really helped us get settled in. The place is pretty difficult to find it's not really on the map so I'd definitely recommend driving taxi drivers are reluctant to make the journey. That aside, it's a beautiful house with lots of room and gorgeous views of the hills

We visited between Christmas and New Year as three families with 7 children ranging from 117. Every person had a wonderful time! The house and its surroundings were glorious! The host was attentive we had an issue with the pool table and the hot tub Denise came to the house en route to her meal out to help and had left a lovely welcome basket, which was much appreciated. The facilities are excellent plenty of crockery, large pans for cooking, hand soaps and toilet roll in every bathroom we had brought our own just in case, extremely comfortable beds and of course the delightfully large sofa with the gorgeous view, the balcony, the hot tub, the games room I could go on and on We will definitely be staying here again!

Have had a lovely weekend enjoying christmas celebrations with family. The house is absolutely lovely plenty of space for everyone. Would definitely recommend.

Great place to stay, Denise, the owner kept in touch even though she was on holiday herself. We needed some extra firewood, and also help with WIFI code. Both requests were quickly dealt with, by contacting Racheal, her colleague, who brought ample fuel, and confirmed log in details for WIFI. My wife Maureen and I, our son, daughter, all our grandchildren, a party of ten all enjoyed a lovely pre Christmas break together. Highly recommended.

Overall fabulous property. We are a large family of 11 ranging from 8 to 83 with 2 dogs and everyone loved the property. The welcome basket on arrival including a bottle fizz and sweets was lovely. We had a fantastic Weekend. What we couldn't fathom was needing to pay 50p for the pinball machine in the games room and a pain when we didn't have any cash., We were really looking forward to using the games room but some of the facilities were either not working or available eg. TV playstation and had this not been the case we would have scored 5 stars. The only other problem we had was that one of the ovens didn't seem to reach temperature, and caused some challenges when cooking for so many but we did manage. The cottage is well located but we stayed put all weekend and loved the large grounds and walks. Games room had a working pool table but TV, playstation didn't work not available. Had to pay 50p for pinball machine, but on the other hand received In the kitchen, the kitchen tap was loose and one of the ovens didn't seem to heat properly.

Fantastic property and helpful host.

Belverdere Farm is a lovely relaxing place to stay, it sits at the bottom of a secluded valley. Its so peaceful with lots of quirky places to chill. On our arrival as we drove down the track we spotted squirrels and deer, and during the rest our stay we continued see these plus cows, a fox, a heron, ducks and moor hens. The house its self is beautiful with several different size rooms which meant with 4 generations in the house, we were able to gather as a family and separate as needed. The kitchen is large with an unconventional layout but it works for large groups, we were able gather around the long table and still be able to cook. Our granddaughter especially liked to space for fire engine. The bedrooms are each unique and comfortable with plenty of space, however not all the bathrooms have locks on so we had to come up with a system when using so no one walked in on any one when showering. Unfortunately for us the weather wasn't kind so we were unable to use the outdoor seating areas often. We might have been able to use the top patio if the cushions had been kept in a storage box when raining. We did however use the hot tub, another great addition to the house and it was very enjoyable relaxing in the rain. The Games room is a fantastic addition its like your own personal pub, for us the orientation of the pool table meant, we interrupted the darts and vice versa when playing. The go karts provided some extra entertainment for the big kids. Denise is a great host with a fantastic property, her directions are perfect for finding Belverdere Farm totally ignore Sykes. We had the most relaxed week and would highly recommend a stay here.

Absolutely great place

The property was clean and well presented. There was plenty of crockerycutlery and cooking pots pans etc for our stay. We had a couple of issues with a beeping smoke alarm and a leaking shower but once the owner was contacted these were resolved with little affect on our stay. The trampoline gave endless fun to my two Grandchildren who also enjoyed walks along the paths by the property. Evenings were spent in the games room where pool was a great favorite with the men. As was the big screen with projector where they watched films. Only down side was the weather which was windy and cold at times.

Beautifully decorated and very well presented spacious house in lovely grounds. We had an amazing week away as a group of 12 friends. The house contains everything you need for a week away. The games room was a great addition which we used every night and the girls enjoyed a prosecco or two in the hot tub. The driveway is long and steep at the beginning so be prepared if you want to walk to the pub, shops or local park. This does also mean delivery companies are reluctant to drop off shopping and takeaways direct to the house and sometimes had to be met at the gate. It did not affect us, its the joys of being a bit secluded and is mentioned in the property description. Finally I would like to thank the owner Denise who makes you feel so welcome, from the first contact, checking in during the week and then communication on the last day she is a delight to deal with. If I ever had a question she responded very promptly. All in I would highly recommend Belvedere Farm.

Absolutely lovely property. We genuinely enjoyed our weeks stay. The house comfortably accommodated 3 generations of our family.

Wow, what a house! Belvedere Farm is a great place to stay for a large family group. Very clean, beautifully decorated and spacious with room to be together or find a quiet spot. Access by key code on the electric gate, then a long steep drive, Denise gave excellent directions before check in, ignore the directions Sykes provide. Knowing that supermarket delivery would be tricky, we chose to click and collect at Tesco's in Halifax. Hipperhome has a small Tesco Express and Morrisons. The games room was a great addition, with it's own large outdoor seating area, there is also a basketball hoop, pedal gokarts and football goals. The house also has a lovely terrace with plenty of seating and a charcoal BBQ, the hot tub was clean and well maintained by Denise who came to check on it midweek. The view up the valley from the first floor balcony was lovely, we saw deer, foxes, ducks and the squirrels. The newly built kitchen extension provides lots plenty of room for indoor dining, there's a big fridge freezer and a drinks fridge, it's well equipped with everything you need. We had some nice trips out to Shibden Hall and park, the Piece Hall in Halifax, Haworth and Leeds. Belvedere Farm is a fabulous place to stay.

Can not fault this property or the owners. We had such an amazing time for my partners 40th. Ive got to admit the best part for the kids & big kids was the go kart races down the drive way

Perfect! We stayed here as a large family group with 2 dogs to celebrate my hubbys 50th birthday over a long weekend then we stayed as a couple and 1 dog for the remainder of the week. This is a really special house. Set back down a track road off the A58 not Wood Lane once you know where the gates are its easy to get to. The house itself has pretty much everything you could ask for my only quibble would be supplying a better whisk in the otherwise exceptionally equipped kitchen. The bedrooms are all spacious and comfortable. Great selection of bathrooms. Living areas are well furnished and homely. We noticed some things not listed including instant hot water tap, ninja air fryer, Nescaf dolce gusto pod coffee machine. 2 high chairs for toddlers.The bbq is now a coal drum version. The games room has a projector that can play you tube music if you hook up your mobile phone hot spot proper party atmosphere. We spent hours down there !! Theres also a pinball machine that takes 20p and 50p pieces although Denise the owner put some credits on for us too. The pond is lovely with its own ducks and moor hens, A bin of birdseed is on the drive to feed them although theres an ongoing battle with some very well fed grey squirrels getting into the bin. So funny to watch. Theres also a herd of cows that regularly visits the far side of the pond dont worry they dont cross ! and we spotted a red deer in the fields opposite and along the house driveway. Although you are not that far from the road you dont really hear it at all. Its a party pad and a beautiful countryside retreat at the same time. Denise didnt bother us but messaged a couple of times to check all was ok and to let us know she was close by if needed. All in all an amazing week at a very special property and we will definitely be back ! Thank you Denise x

Property was amazing. Plenty of space and rooms all beautifully decorated and cleaned so well. Really looking forward to our next stay and looking to return again next year.

We have just stayed at Belvedere Farm for 3 nights, to celebrate our sons 40th birthday, we have had a fabulous time, A fully equipped home with everything you would need for cooking& cleaning. Lovely hot tub within a beautiful setting. Even managed a BBQ although the weather wasnt brilliant but a beautiful sun room to sit in, We had a blast in the bargames room, we spent every night in there The owners were lovely they kept in touch over the weekend if we needed anything, even left us a lovely little hamper and a nice vase of flowers We were privileged to share there home, hopefully we can return one day in the not too distant future

What a truly AMAZING stay at this fabulous property! The owner Denise was a 5 host and did everything she possibly could to ensure we had a wonderful trouble free experience. Denise genuinely cares and was quick to respond to my texts. Even arranging for a new gas bottle to be dropped off and connected to the BBQ ready for our birthday party celebrations! The kids loved and devoured the welcome basket filled with sweets and treats! Looking more closely at the Sykes photos I can see where improvements have been made, the dining room is a bit of a tight squeeze but there is now a long table in the games room making it even more of a great social space! Theres also a pinball machine so bring some coins to use it! I was very surprised and appreciated that plenty of coal and wood was supplied to keep us going for 4 chilly February nights some Sykes cottages only provide enough for a single night and is a hassle finding somewhere to buy more wood. The hot tub is newer than the one in the photos. Denise explained how to set the temperature St setting and we didnt have any problems with it, heating up to 40c and was enjoyed by everyone every evening! I think the description given by a previous reviewer is fair homely and comfortable without being perfect due to some older aspects of the house that have been mentioned in other reviews. These aspects didn't detract from us all having a lovely time, this is more than just a house, its set up so well for making special happy memories that will last a lifetime with friends and family! I would highly recommend booking this property.

Great house in a beautiful setting, the house is huge with a separate games ... Great house in a beautiful setting, the house is huge with a separate games room, there was plenty of room for us all to have our own space, the owner was very helpful A few niggly bit though, the cooker needs replacing the owner did tell us it was being done this year some of the the other appliances also need replacing, lots of the light bulbs needed replacing especially in the lounge, also the hot tub didn't seem to get past 35 which wasn't warm enough when the outside temperature was so cold, unfortunately we only used it once Saying all of that we had a lovely week
