Can you recommend good place to stay in the Pennines (Yorkshire side), pref. self-catering?

[edam]

We've got a week off week after next and I want to go 'home' (actually haven't lived there since I was little but need a nostalgic trip).

Does anyone know any nice hotels that can cope with toddlers, or self-catering holiday cottages? Possibly near Holmfirth? Want to be able to reach Upper Denby, near Huddersfield, to see my godmother.

Grateful for any suggestions! Thanks.

You need WWW the Hotel Expert - she'll be around alter.

I was surprised to see you on this thread MI!

bump?

bumpetty bump bump?

great place to stay, just bumping up for you

I suppose "near Huddersfield" isn't an obvious place for people to have holiday familiarity with, Easy

Is Upper Denby near Denby Dale? (Not that I know somewhere for you, just curious)

always wanted to go there myself, but no tips I'm afraid - will watch this thread with interest though

Yes Jan, very near Denby Dale. And don't diss it - lovely countryside (as seen in that really tedious programe Last of the Summer Wine). Used to live in Denby Dale when I was little - our village school had a special trip to the woods to see the grave of the pie that went bad!

try this sorry can not do links

Wasn't dissing it at all, easy - just saying Huddersfield isn't renowned as a holiday destination!

Bear with me, I'll have a bit of a google for you.

Thank you, Janh. It's edam, btw!

Not actually intending to spend any time in Huddersfield itself, just the countryside around it.

How do you know Denby Dale?

thanks JanH its lovely place even in winter just very cold

Oh, edam, so sorry (I have always mentally confused the 2 names btw, but never so openly!)

I shared a flat at college with a girl from Denby Dale. She married a Kiwi and emigrated to NZ but is back there now.

Thank you everyone!

Janh, if she happens to be 34 to 38, I probably knew her. And she almost certainly knows my godmother.

Ooh, Janh, very long shot, but she's not called Tania is she?

Oh, no, edam, she is much older than that (rather like one ) and not called Tanya either.

Or Tania

Oh well, was worth checking! Definitely not Tanya, darling, Tania said with a very loooong a. Brothers were called Simon and Rupert and surname was double-barrelled so not a Tanya at all. Apparently named after a Russian elephant her mother saw shortly before giving birth.
