Cunliffe House Reviews

Rebecca
We stayed at Cunliffe House as 3 couples & two 19 year olds. I loved it as soon as I arrived. It was cosy and welcoming everything we needed. Lovely welcome pack greeted us, we enjoyed all the amenities, the games room, Hot tub we will definitely be returning
AMAZING we absolutely loved the house and the surrounding area . A lovely welcoming basket went down with our older teens and fantastic to have milk and bread there too as we forgot to bring them . The house is just so relaxing and set back surrounding by land . It is so spacious , and we all felt we could relax and enjoy our holiday . We woke up in the morning watching the rabbits playing , and in the evenings we saw some foxes and muntjacs and squirrels . Our younger family member 9 thoroughly enjoyed feeding grass and an apple to the Shetland ponies down the lane each day .The hot tub is fabulous , it was used every day and sometimes in the evening. We really did have an amazing time and our two dogs loved all the walking . One evening we picked some apples from the garden and some blackberries from bushes down the lanes and made a crumble very nice . We went out and about in the local area and a little further afield into Leeds we also visited tropical world. We loved cosy evenings in , and lit a fire on one which was really nice. You have everything there in the house that you need for cooking and dining , and a dishwasher to clean it all
Jacqueline
The property was perfect. Tucked up a private lane giving the peace and tranquility we desired but only a short walk into the village and a short drive to Guiseley to access shops etc. The property was spotlessly clean, spacious and contained everything one required. The welcome hamper was a nice touch and enjoyed by the family. My only suggesstion is that Sykes staff have more knowledge of their properties as I asked about whether the property had a hairdryer and barbeque and was informed no for both but upon arrival both items were there. I would recommend this property and would certainly return
Fantastic a wow factor went for my husband 60th Birthday with all the family . It accomated all.of us had 4 year old to 80 year old . Loved the games room and hot tub and bar to .all the rooms was spacious. Had some nice little walks round esholt village.went to woolpack inn meal was very good . Good price I recommend for big family groups.
Tracey
The property is in need of some TLC. A few areas really let the house down. The area outside the games room needed a good clean,full of cobwebs and a dirty ashtray under a chair. The windows needed a clean again plenty of cobwebs. Also there is a big wasp nest by the front door one of our party got stung. The positives the house was quite spacious and quite comfortable. 4 big bedrooms. The house is in a beautiful area with great scenery. We visited the Woolpack for lunch , it was lovely. We had a good holiday I just think with those areas sorted it would have been great.
We loved our stay at this beautiful house. We enjoyed the hot tub and the gorgeous garden too. The house was very comfortable with plenty of space. A lovely welcome hamper was waiting for us too. Would highly recommend.
Eileen
The accommodation is great, huge space, lovely outdoor facilities. The hot tub was well used by out younger members and the pool table by everyone. The downstairs toilet needs a lock or snib. I was disappointed not to get a reply to my text about the issue on Sunday morning, something in the loft. The message was still unread when we left on Monday. Otherwise all was good and if you're a fan of Emmerdale, it's a must.
We visited for my parents golden wedding anniversary in June. From start to finish we thoroughly enjoyed it. The house is beautiful, spacious, and well equipped. In fact this is the best house I have stayed in. The outdoor space was fabulous. Lovely walks around the village too. It would definitely recommend and will be returning.
What a perfect house
Amazing property and location. Photos of this property do not do it justice , it was immaculately clean and modern but felt homely and usable. Facilities were outstanding with everything we could ask for a great getaway with friends xxx
Jeannie
The house was lovely for a large party. The rooms were all comfortable and spacious. The kitchen was well equipped. The gardens and views were wonderful. The location was peaceful and relaxing and close to many lovely and interesting places. The bedrooms and lounge and sun room were nicer than in the photographs. 4 bathrooms was a good bonus. The games room was a great extra space for relaxing and the hot tub was fab. The dining table was quite small and snug for 8 adults. We had a lovely stay and would definitely return for a family break.
Kirsty
Really good stay. The location is tucked out of the way off the main street and therefore very quiet. Kids and hubby loved the games room whilst i and the grandparents enjoyed the spacious room to relax in and chill out. Lots to do around to both outside and in for day trips, walks, etc for all ages. One tiny bit to note is there is a step up on the lower floor which i don't recall reading about sorry if is there, which caused a little problem for one of our guest. But this step is there to access to downstairs dining room, front room, and bedroom. cant really be avoided. On the plus side we did have a heating issue and from contact to fix this was less than 12 hours incld an overnight, and was very responsive and helpful. Thank you for a great stay and will certainly be on our property list for the four of us.
We have returned from a lovely week at Cunliffe House. What can I say, a lovely beautiful property with everything one needed for a much needed holiday. It was clean, comfy, bright and had some great amenities. Would definitely return if back in the area.
Deborah
A group of six adults recently stayed here, and we all agreed it was one of the nicest rental houses we have been to. The property is stunning, beautifully appointed with everything provided you could wish for. The furnishings were top quality, and everything was spotless. The owner also left a few welcome basics, which was a nice touch. The setting was beautiful and even nicer as the sun was shining. Would highly recommend.
Thank you for a great short break. The property is stunning and in a lovely quiet location. Just what we needed for a relaxing time with extended family. The welcome pack and amenities were great. Only missing a pizza cutter but everything else was very well stocked. The games room was great and well used after initial disappointment of the pool table not been as advertised although it was still well usable. A great area which would be brilliant opened up in the summer months. Hot tub was large and clean. Bedrooms were very spacious and decorated well. All in all a great place to spend a few days. We will definitely consider revisiting, maybe when the weather is more settled. Thank you.
The cottage is beautiful and in a wonderful location. We had a lovely stay with a group of friends and having lots of bathrooms was great. Would highly recommend this property
I booked this fabulous cottage for my 60th birthday celebration. It was super clean, well appointed and very comfortable. The bedding was crisp white cotton, the towels were fluffy and soft and everything we needed was provided. The hot tub was great, as was the games room. It was a short walk to the local pub which served a nice Sunday lunch. We only stayed 3 nights but would definitely return again.
Fantastic weekend celebrating a 30th birthday, The cottage was immaculate, fantastic garden and games room , had so much fun, lovely walks and plenty of pubs nearby.
Jillian
We had a comfortable stay, the house was clean and the location was lovely. There was a few minor issues, door and cupboard handles are loose with a few breaking off. No where to hang towels or put toiletries in one of the bathrooms, not enough kitchen cupboards to put groceries, there was only 2 wine glasses when we arrived but a call to Andy and he soon got us more , so thank you for this.
Rosemary
A lovely weeks stay, the games room was very popular as was the hot tub. Very quiet but not too far from supermarkets etc. Lovely 5 mile circular walk from the village taking in woods, rivers & canal. We ate at the Woolpack in the village once, if you want Sunday lunch you need to prebook. Already recommended it to friends & considering booking it again next year. Just need to update the details in the house as the heating controls had been moved, rang Hayley & she got back to me straight away.
Trevor
Wow! That is what what our family of 7 adults a 7 year and 1 year old thought. Absolutely loved our week away, the hot tub and the bar were well used. Lovely walks around Esholt and a drink in the Woolpack afterwards. Kitchen cupboards well stocked, bedrooms plenty big enough, washing machine used, sun room was our quiet room! Spoke to Hayley with a small problem and within an hour she had sorted it Thankyou Hayley All in all Cunliffe House is perfect for a family getaway. Will definitely be returning.
Thoroughly enjoyed our family stay at Cunliffe House. All rooms are a good size and the whole place comfortably accommodated the 7 of us. Having a bathroom for each bedroom worked well. The kitchen had everything we needed. The outside space and gardens were good and the hot tub was relatively private whist having a lovely view. Didn't really use the games room but it was a good option to have. Would recommend.
We loved our stay and were sad to leave. We had a very busy week as there is so much to see and do in the surrounding areas. The house was lovely and clean with everything you could need whilst on holiday. My only suggestion would be a lamp in the sitting room would be good for soft lighting in the evening.
Wonderful house , stunning! ! Had a lovely stay , comfy beds , house had everything we needed, beautiful decor, hot tub and games room were used every day, would definitely stay here again
Kirsti
This is a fantastic property for eight people. With a little review of the kitchen cupboards and their contents, an extra fridge in the games room etc things would have been perfect but with our feedback, Hayley immediately ordered various items Id suggested I wish Id asked at the beginning of our day, if Ive known they would arrive the next day
Camilla
The stay was AMAZING, the house was perfect for our family trip. Great location and the house was comfortable, spacious and had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend!
Beautiful location with lovely outdoor garden and seating area. The games room is a great addition and the hot tub was clean and really warm. awe had a great welcome basket, with bread , cakes and snacks with a bottle of fiz in the fridge. We all had a great weekend . Thank you.
Christine
We had a lovely family holiday, house was very clean, everything we needed loved the welcome pack
Fantastic place for our family mini break with lots of hidden extras. We loved it. Would definitely recommend
Carole
Excellent property. Great touches with the china, towel warmers, quality linen, extra dishes, the views, the leisure shack including darts and pool, the hot tub, the BBQ, the amount of seating and especially the willingness to allow our local family members over for a visit. The only thing that would have made it perfect would be laundry detergent available as well as body wash, shampoo and conditioner in the showers.
House is fabulous and was perfect for our weekend break. The area is so peaceful with the famous Woolpack a short walk away and a some great walks on the doorstep in the surrounding woodlands in Esholt. House was spotless, furnished to a high standard and had everything we needed including plenty of parking. The blokes in particular enjoyed the games annex. The beds were very comfortable with good quality bedding and towels and the little welcome pack was a lovely touch. We wished we had booked an extra night and will 100 book again 0
Geoffrey
Superb location, quiet yet still near to all the shops and places of interest. The house is excellent , very well equipped and clean. A lovely welcome pack on arrival, hot tub was well used by our grandson. We will certainly visit again,
Louisa
Beautiful cottage. Great location. Lovely welcome hamper. Would definitely recommend you will have a great time! However, just a couple of things that could be better. Not enough wine glasses , tumblers, cups etc. We have stayed in numerous properties and often there are more plates, cups, glasses, cutlery etc than needed however there was 1 half pint glass and 3 wine glasses and not as much crockery and cutlery as would expect. This also meant the dishwasher was going on for very few items. No teapot but 4 cafetires. No plastic glasses for when in hot tub either. Also games room great but not really any useable darts. But these are such minor issues that are easily improved and its a great place, so if you book you wont be disappointed.
Great stay at Cunliffe House. The property and grounds were very clean on arrival and the welcome basket and goodies in the fridge were much appreciated. The games room was well used as we had a wet day. All beds were comfy and having plenty of seating areas was great with a large family group.
Graham
A lovely home with a wow factor! Very spacious, clean and the welcome pack was extremely generous and much appreciated! All beds were comfortable, lovely big sofas for relaxing evenings and good facilities throughout. Travel cot and high chair were available as requested and baby slept well always a bonus! The hot tub was popular. Good storage in the utility area for outdoor shoes etc. Lots of hot water and house was always warm. We moved a bedside lamp to the lounge for evening ambiance. We know the area well and visited this time for a family occasion in Guiseley we would all like to return to Cunliffe House in the future, it is lovely.
Lovely house amazing location we really enjoyed ourselves and have booked again for next year thanks
Had a great girls trip for 3 nights, lovely house very comfortable, and enjoyed the hot tub
Absolutely fantastic place, thank you for the starter pack. Everything was really clean, maybe suggest a little fridge in the games room and also more outside lighting around the hot tub area, but apart from that we would recommend your house and we will definitely come back
Everyone really enjoyed their stay. Brilliant amenities, games room and hot tub especially. We loved the location too, peaceful area with localbpub and walks, but also easy access to the nearest towns, Saltaire and Bingley. Highly recommended.
