It’s that time of year again! I love seeing the bluebells in the woods above the canal in Slaithwaite, a sign that Spring is well and truly here! There are so many wonderful country walks around Merchant’s Cottage, why not come and see for yourself?

Looking back today to see just how far we’ve come…..the country dining kitchen as it is today, with underfloor heating, new appliances and as fully equipped as we’d like to find in any home-from-home holiday cottage…and as it was in March 2021, as the country began to open up and we were preparing for our very first guests! Why not come and visit? Available for short breaks and longer, ideally placed for all the wonderful amenities that. Honley has to offer snd conveniently placed with good transport links for Holmfirth, Yorkshire and the Peak District ❤️

Hope you enjoyed a cuppa on National Cup of Tea Day….and what better than to enjoy it with than a lovely slice of cake? The sun hasn’t shone in Yorkshire today but on days like these at least Merchant’s Cottage has a woodburner to curl up in front of with a book or magazine, to settle down and ignore the weather! I’m sure this week’s sunshine will be back soon 🤞🏻…..Happy weekend everyone!
