Tucked away in the village of South Hiendley, this cosy, newly converted detached studio annex offers a comfortable base for up to four guests. Set within the grounds of a charming 1600s cottage (which may be let separately), the annex is accessed via a private rustic track and is well placed for easy access to the market towns of Barnsley, Wakefield and Pontefract.
Guests choose this retreat for its blend of privacy and convenience: you have the entire annex to yourselves, a simple self check-in, and everything you need for relaxed stays, from a well-equipped open-plan kitchen to comfortable lounging space. It is also pet-friendly, making it a practical option for trips with your dog.
