Machpelah: comfort, convenience and in town centre

Our lovingly restored cottage offers a home from home. Enjoy traditional features such as a wood burning stove and a flagged floor whilst relaxing on our comfy sofas. When you’re ready to explore, a wealth of independent shops, cafés and bars are within a 5 minute walk. Stroll the scenic route into the town centre either through the park or via the canal towpath. Good for walkers, cyclists, live music gigs, art & cinema lovers. Available for short and long term lets. Check Hebweb. The space Step into the lounge where, as well as the two sofas, you’ll find a dining table to seat four and a log burning stove(logs not supplied). There is continuous WiFi access and the flat screen Smart TV is set up for Netflix and viewing DVDs only. Please note, we don’t have a licence for live TV. We have installed a chromecast so you can cast from your smartphone/tablet/laptop onto the TV. In the well-appointed kitchen we have a fan oven, induction hob, microwave oven, toaster, kettle and fridge. There’s also a compact ironing board and iron. On the first floor are two double bedrooms and a quirky, contemporary bathroom with a shower over the full sized bath (you need to climb two steps to get into the bath). I am a painter and the artworks on the walls are either original paintings or giclée prints. Please enquire if interested in purchasing any of my work. Children... ** When making a booking, please inform us if your group includes children younger than five years of age. Points for your consideration are as follows: •We are set up mainly for adults with two double beds and we don't provide any equipment such as stair gates, cots, baby bath etc. •The stairs are carpeted but please be advised that the lounge is stone-flagged with a largish carpet square in the middle and all other rooms are finished with varnished or painted floorboards. •The wood-burning stove can be a hazard for young children when in use; however, the cottage has central heating and guests wouldn't necessarily have need of the stove. •And finally, there are three stone steps from the kitchen out to the back yard. On a plus point for the children, the cottage is situated across the road from the town park with a safely enclosed kiddies area and skate park for the older ones. In the warmer months, the Park Life Café is open so you can enjoy tasty refreshments whilst watching the children playing on the swing or grass. Guest access The ground and first floors are available for guests' exclusive use. The attic floor is unavailable to guests (this is where we keep the linens and cleaning materials etc.). Other things to note SHOES: Please remove outdoor shoes before going upstairs. PARKING. Unfortunately, there is no parking at the house and there are double yellow lines on the main road outside but there is a small pay and display car park just off the station approach road which is two or three minutes walk from the cottage. There are two other pay and display car parks very close to the cottage. You may park free on the main road towards Halifax. LOGS: logs and kindling for the wood burning stove can be purchased locally or we can supply at a cost if given prior notice. FIRE SAFETY: No candles/tea lights are to be used. TV: Although we don't have a TV licence to play live programmes, you do have other options :-) The 40" flatscreen TV is a "smart TV" and is configured for use with the internet. Netflix is available as is Youtube. ON DEPARTURE: Please place damp towels in the bath at the end of your stay. You don't need to strip the beds :) The cast iron fireplace in the front bedroom is not connected to the flue and therefore doesn't function.
