  • "This was one of the best holiday cottages we have ever stayed in."

    It was very homely, warm, cosy and well equipped. So nice in fact, that we didn’t want to go home and would actually like to live there! We will definitely be booking again in the future, hopefully next year.

  • "Lovely cosy cottage."

    Most well equipped place we have stayed in, everything has been thought of. Thoughtful welcome gift which you don't always get. Would recommend to anyone. Few people have already said, the pictures do not do it justice, that is very true. Enjoyed out week there.

  • "A lovely little property to explore the local area."

    The cottage had everything you could need for a weeks holiday. It was really handy having a driveway to park the car, and there was plenty in the kitchen to self-cater when you don't want to go out. I'd definitely recommend staying at 2 James Street, a very good little find.

  • "The cottage was, ‘simply the best’, The best of everything, comfort, cleanliness, facilities, location and equipment."

    Loved the shower especially the non-slip floor to it. The log burner was superb. Loved the kitchen and bathroom and your decor is very tasteful. We spent a wonderful week at the cottage and it is a good base for getting around by car or public transport. Truly one of the best UK holidays I’ve ever had. Thank you Audrey Clarke

  • "The cottage was beautiful, the photos don’t do it justice at all."

    Completed to a very high standard, clean and exceptionally well equipped. Just needs a gate in the garden to stop the dogs going in the back area as this is the owners, however we did meet them and they said it was on the to do list

  • "It’s a superb cottage."

    Everything is top notch not just materially but the thought they’ve put into the decoration and furnishing. They have thought of everything! The location is ideal if you like walks, the steam railway down the hill, and interesting places a ten minute drive away.

  • "Excellent property - excellent location - I sincerely believe the photos on the site do not do enough justice to the quality of the accommodation provided."

    This was a perfect holiday home - located exactly where we wanted to be! Walks from the front door - onto the moors - into Haworth and beyond. Loads of attractions also on the doorstep. Off road parking - dog friendly - pub next door - for a much needed cider after long walks in the dales - and loads of other pubs close by for good food and an evening out after exploring the attractions. Do yourselves a favour - this place is a gem - book and enjoy a fantastic Yorkshire getaway! Owners also very welcoming and friendly - thank you for giving your visitors such a lovely holiday home as an ideal yorkshire base!

  • "Generally very well equipped, decorated and furnished."

    There was some great info about the history of the property within which was intriguing to read. The property is situated in a lovely rural village just outside Keighley, which was handy as we were visiting family in the area. In general, our stay was very comfortable. We visited Skipton, Haworth to name a few.

    Thank you for the bottle of bubbly & biscuits too. Excellent base for exploring Brontë & Railway children country, excellent bus service on the doorstep. The only downside was the rain, but that’s to be expected at this time of year. Would definitely recommend.

  • "The best renovated and equipped cottage we’ve stayed in."

    Absolutely nothing to criticise. Immaculately clean and ready when we arrived ( early). We met the owners who were lovely. We mentioned there wasn’t a garlic press in the kitchen. I’ll bet there will be one very soon. So obliging. Will say it’s not totally dog safe although we cordoned a bit of the back yard off with some chairs. Maybe if some mesh was put on the double gates it would be better for dog owners. Our dog liked sitting at the front gate watching ( woofing) the world go by. If you want a drink the Snooty Fox is only a few yards away. Nice friendly people. Clean. Dog friendly good selection of reasonably priced drinks. We only went in “early doors” but understand they do have live music. Plenty of local walks and public footpaths. When we go back to Howarth or that area we wouldn’t look anywhere else. Quick easy drive to Keighley if you want a supermarket. Coop down the road. Oakworth Station close by for Worth Valley Railway. Plenty of buses close by. Short journey to Howarth and it’s lovely shops, bars and eateries

  • "This is a superb property that has been recently renovated."

    Its position for local attractions is great and the benefit of off road parking is a real bonus. The property is really well equipped and very comfortable. There was a welcome gift awaiting our arrival which included a treat for our two dogs who also really enjoyed their stay and particularly liked the freedom of the moors. We have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this property and would most certainly return.

  • "Delightful and quaint house."

    Renovated to a very high standard but the owners have maintained the character and charm of the property. Very comfortable and homely. Kitchen really well equipped. The hosts live next door and are lovely people, they recommended a number plates to visit .The welcome gifts were much appreciated as were the fresh flowers. We were also treated to some home grown Rhubarb and Bramley apples, which were delicious.It's an ideal location as there's lots to do within easy reach of Oakworth. The Keighley and Worth Valley railway, Haworth, Saltaire, Salts Mill shopping centre is worth a visit with it's bespoke shops and galleries, Shipton Castle and town, Embsay and Bolton railway, Shibden Hall, National Trust East Riddlesden Hall and lots of lovely walks. Thank you Pete and Anne for making our stay so comfortable and thank you for your help when Tim hurt his leg, just sorry we had to leave a day early. Would highly recommend 2 James Street.
