Visit Ilkley and Betty’s

Dyer’s Cottage is exactly as advertised – charming and comfortable. Jane made sure we had all the necessary info and provided a fascinating cottage history. Good location for walking and bus routes around the Calder Valley.

SR UK April 2022

We loved walking to Hebden Bridge (train back), walking to Halifax and eating out in pubs including the Wainhouse Tavern. What a great shower and comfortable bed – why can’t all self catering places be like this? We hope to return, thank you.

DP UK Jan 2022

Despite the low temperature, it was warm and cosy with all amenities available. The cottage is tastefully set out with a good mixture of the history and modern re-furbishment. Bedroom and bathroom are first class. Very safe and secure. We have family in the area and would not hesitate in re-booking in the future – have already recommended to friends. 

TB UK Jan 2022

We felt welcome from the start and didn’t need or want for anything as everything had been thought of. We will definitely be back.

The set up was ideal for us, sparkling clean and Jane was so helpful with any enquiries.

Our short stay at Dyer’s Cottage has been very comfortable and cosy. The family history is fascinating- what would they think of their house now we wonder? It was a real joy to see all the bluebells out in the garden and to sit outside with our coffees. Our thanks to Jane and her team.

What a lovely, well equipped cottage. Loved it. PT  UK June 2019

It sits below Wainhouse Tower which means you will never be lost trying to find one’s way home. Cozy and private, the dark stone exterior opens into a modern and well lit interior. The main bed is a dream machine, big and inviting, warm and delightful. BL USA May 2019

A wonderful, luxurious property in an historic part of Halifax. The property has undergone a miracle transformation.

JD South Africa Jan 2019

When I walked into your cottage the first thing I said was “I’m home” and that is exactly what it has been for me. My safe place to rest after a long day of travel and exploring, my quiet place to read, journal and pray.

Dyer’s Cottage is exquisite.

Thank you for an amazing stay. Jane has been so efficient, welcoming and helpful that we cannot wait to come back. Dyer’s Cottage is beautiful.

Just perfect. Once I walked through the front door, I was totally at home.

Had a lovely “holiday” in the cottage whilst some major work was taking place on our house. Found some new walks and a new pub.

We had a great stay in your cottage whilst visiting family in Halifax. A perfect getaway.

We have had a wonderful time staying in your lovely cottage. We found everything we needed which enhanced our stay. The bed was comfortable and the shower was a pleasure to use.

A beautiful cottage ideally placed. Incredibly well equipped and modernised with great taste. A real ” home from home” experience.
