A Stay at Rose Cottage, Mytholmroyd
A Traditional Weaver’s Cottage On our recent trip to Mytholmroyd, Lyn and I stayed at Rose Cottage, a charming old weaver’s cottage that immediately felt like home. With its warm and cosy atmosphere, two comfortable double beds, and constant hot water and heating, it was the perfect retreat. Thoughtful touches included complimentary food—bread, butter, milk, eggs, fruit, cereals, coffee, and a range of teas—alongside aromatherapy oils, creams, soaps, shampoo, and conditioner.
