  • "This is a gorgeous cosy cottage with a fab hot tub in a beautiful area, short walk to a pub that also serves good food."

    Lovely walks to Bronte falls. Haworth isn't far away and is a lovely place to visit. The owners are so helpful and kept in touch by messaging checking everything was ok and helped us out when we had an issue that was nothing to do with the cottage. We would definitely return and highly recommend. Everything was as described.

  • "The cottage was very cosy clean and very comfortable with beautiful views of the surrounding countryside."

    Very well equipped. The toaster did appear to be broken and the lights in the lounge were not very bright. There appeared to be three bulbs missing (just a little glitch) Overall very satisfied and had a lovely weekend

    We had a very enjoyable stay. The hot tub is a perfect way to relax after a long walk with our dog, Louis. The welcome gifts were much appreciated. I would recommend Pickles Hill cottage without hesitation. Thank you for a lovely stay!

  • "Lovely cosy cottage."

    My husband, myself, my sister and the dog stayed for a week, and had a wonderful time. Cottage had everything we needed and more. Lovely and clean. 1 evening the lights went out and Jonny was round to fix them within 30 mins. Jonny and Leanne were perfect hosts. So funny being eye to eye with a sheep, while washing up. Perfect Location, we went to Haworth, Harrogate and Skipton, as well as a trip to Manchester for the "Coronation Street Experience". We would love to come back,

    Grouse Inn and Hawthorn are not far away with gorgeous food as was the afternoon tea at Cobbles and Clay, all recommended by Leanne and Johnny.

  • "This is an absolute gem of a cottage in a gorgeous location - the hot tub really is the cherry on the top."

    We had a fabulous stay here as a family of 3 (one 4 year old child) and can't rate the cottage highly enough. It was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for a great holiday. The cottage itself feels very rural - especially with the sheep watching you cook your breakfast through the back window - and is small enough to feel cosy but big enough to house 3 people comfortably. There is a 30 minute walk into Oakworth with lovely views, and our little boy managed the walks nearby very well. The local pub - The Grouse - is also top notch and only 10 minutes walk down the road. The hosts are also very kind and helpful. Honestly one of our favourite places we have ever stayed in the UK.

    The owner was an absolutely amazing person who left us a beautiful bouquet as she knew we just got married. This really made our stay extra special. The cottage is perfect and has lots of room as well as a hot tub outside that we very much enjoyed. I would definitely recommend and will be returning soon

  • "Pickles Hill Cottage is a home away from home."

    Spotlessly clean, very comfortable and the owners are on hand on the rare occasion you may need them. Everything is provided for a relaxing break and there is even a great pub - The Grouse- within easy walking distance should you not wish to cook every night. The hot tub is an added bonus to ease aching muscles after a long(or short!) walk. I would recommend this cottage to anyone needing a break away from it all for a while. Thanks to Leanne and Johnny for providing this little gem of a cottage.

    It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, everything has been thought about and provided for. Very warm and cosy being up on the moor, wuth amazing views. The hot tub is the added bonus after a long walk from the doorstop. So many amazing walks, steam train and bus route nearby. Close to beautiful Haworth and so easy to get to other local towns. Would recommend this cottage without a doubt.

  • "Prior to posting any review, I read others’ reviews to see if their experience mirrored mine."

    Pickles Hill Cottage has only been around for a relatively short time, hence the reviews are fewer than one might expect. In anticipation of this review I read the reviews last night, and I refreshed them this morning to discover there are now fewer to read! Missing are one or two from 2020 in which, although being as positive as those now present, had a couple of suggestions to make things better. Nothing that would put anyone off, just an observation/suggestion. I don’t know why this has occurred. I don’t know if it’s Sykes or the owner that’s responsible, but I do know that there appears to be some pages missing from the Visitor’s Book in the cottage.

  • "Super comfortable cottage with good facilities and many little extras not always provided by other holiday cottages."

    Stunning views across to Penistone. A perfect location for walkers. Located one mile outside Oakworth and one and half mile walk to Haworth down footpaths alongside the river Worth. Top Withens and Penistone Crag can be walked directly from the cottage. We highly recommend this cottage in a beautiful setting.

    Seeing the sheep every day by the kitchen window was a fantastic bonus and we felt very close to nature. Great location to lots of amenities and local towns, such as Haworth and Keighley. Lots of beautiful walks nearby, especially Bronte Waterfall and Top Withins. Very attentive hosts who dealt with requests promptly.

The property

Oakworth 1.3 miles.

Enjoying a wonderful position within the picturesque Worth Valley, which was made famous by the classic 1970 film, The Railway Children is Pickles Hill Cottage, situated on the outskirts of Oakworth village.

This delightful accommodation boasts beautiful views over Haworth Moors and is perfect for couples or small families to explore West Yorkshire and its magnitude of pretty towns and villages, as well as the North Yorkshire National Park.

Enter into the warmth of the cottage and be welcomed into the sitting room, where the exposed beams frame the traditional-style furnishings, complemented by a gas coal-effect fire, making a tranquil spot to return to at the end of an adventure-filled day.

Joining this space is the dining table, where you and your loved ones can gather to tuck into a home-cooked meal that was prepared in the well-equipped kitchen.

Afterwards, look forward to catching your rest in one of the two bedrooms; choose from a double bedroom with elegant furnishings and a single bedroom, ideally set up for a child.

Soak up the countryside surroundings further, by taking dining outdoors on the patio, where you can catch a glimpse of the sunset while soaking in the bubbling hot tub.

If you can tear yourself away from this quaint abode, head into the village of Oakworth, where you will find a plethora of amenities, including a choice of pubs and a shop for picking up the essentials.

The wonderful country pub The Grouse Inn is only 400 yards away from the cottage and offers a 10% discount on food to guests of the cottage.

Alternatively, travel slightly further afield to Keighley where you will find a larger selection of pubs, restaurants, cafés and tearooms, offering something to suit all tastes, as well as providing access to the attractions of Cliffe Castle Museum and Park, offering a variety of local history and heritage.

Be sure to visit the nearby village of Haworth, famous for being the home of the Bronte sisters and the inspiration for many of their famous novels, as well as a variety of quaint eateries for refuelling before exploring the surrounding moorland.

Alternatively, head to Skipton, where you will find charming cobbled streets and the 12th-century castle, while further afield is the interesting old Calderdale town of Hebden Bridge with its hippy culture.

Adventurous guests may climb the peak of Ilkley Moor, a moorland and conservation area with several scenic walking trails, providing excellent bird watching opportunities and scenic viewpoints, or head to the Yorkshire Dales National Park to find more walking spots.

About the location

OAKWORTH

Haworth 1 mile; Skipton 10 miles.

Oakworth is a small Pennine village just a short drive from Haworth, overlooking the Worth Valley, made famous by the filming of the classic 1970 film version of E.E. Nesbitt's novel, The Railway Children. Besides its close proximity to Haworth and the moors, Oakworth has an attractive ornamental park, and is within easy reach of the town of Keighley. Nearby Haworth was home to the famous Bronte sisters, who were much-inspired by the surrounding moorland. Haworth has a myriad of curiosity and antique shops, alleyways and cobbled streets creating a wonderful period atmosphere, and all this against a backdrop of countryside famously described in the novel Wuthering Heights. Nearby, the famous Worth Valley Railway, an authentic steam railway brought to prominence in the film The Railway Children, makes a lovely day out, with a regular service to the old village of Oxenhope. The area is full of popular places to visit, including the Bronte Parsonage Museum, East Riddlesden Hall, and the Museum of Rail. The market town of Skipton, Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, is just a short drive away, and also within reach are elegant Harrogate, and vibrant Leeds and Manchester.
