The small village of Haworth was home to the famous Bronte sisters, who were inspired by the surrounding moorland to pen their novels which have become classics of English Literature. Haworth is a village that time almost forgot, with its 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 as wild, rugged and barren. Nearby the famous Worth Valley Railway, an authentic steam railway brought to prominence in the film ‘The Railway Children’, provides a lovely day out with a regular service to the old village of Oxenhope. The area abounds with 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.

Lovely and cosy for any time of year.
Shame the weather didn't require us to use the fire!
Mr Baker, Westerham, August 2011
Positioning and condition of the property was excellent in a friendly village with beautiful scenery.
Mr Brooke -Stowe, Grimsby, July 2011
When we stepped into the cottage we were very happy. The whole cottage was so well presented and everything had been thought of. The flowers, fruit and wine were a welcome surprise. Haworth is a lovely village and we haven't even seen everything there is to see after a week, so we will be back.
