  • "Gorgeous cottage in a fabulous location, a 2 minute walk to the heart of Haworth."

    The cottage was spotlessly clean and the attention to detail was amazing. The log burner was a lovely feature and there was even a supply of wood to get us started. Lovely shower too, much appreciated after a rainy walk to Top Withens ! Highly recommended classy accommodation.

    That’s a great review Ian . Thank you so much. The Top Withens is a nice walk ❤️. We got chased by the sheep when we went . Glad you enjoyed your stay with us and visiting Haworth. We do appreciate it. Thank you so much ❤️ Property Owner

  • "Wow! What a beautiful cottage, we loved it as soon as we walked in the door ❤️ so cosy and welcoming."

    Everything was to such a high standard and spotlessly clean. Fabulous welcome pack which really was appreciated especially the milk especially after a long drive. Ducking Well Cottage is in a great location as everything is very close by, Haworth is beautiful and so much to do and see also being a great base to visit other places. We found the bus stops along the street very handy and the buses are very frequent. The fish and chip shop nearby was fab, delicious food. We would definitely stay here again as it was just perfect, thank you Julie and Richard, fabulous hosts.

  • "What a lovely cottage this is!"

    I loved all the period features. The owners have restored it in a wonderful way to give modern comforts but still keep some of the charm of the old weavers’ cottage. It is located perfectly just outside the town centre so it is close to everything but quiet at night and no issues with parking. With 2 seating areas, at the front and back, you can catch the sun throughout the day as well. I would definitely return to Ducking Well Cottage.

    And you would be very welcome to visit again . Thank you so much for such an in depth review. The cottage does benefit from good outside space and the views from the front are wonderful. So happy you appreciated the period features. We tried to uncover as much as we could while keeping the facilities modern ❤️ Thank you so much for such a lovely review ❤️ Property Owner

Walk to the wide variety of shops on the village main street and enjoy the many places to eat and drink. Outdoor seating too for the better weather. Easy, free parking, which is a consideration in Howarth.

    Thank you Innes for your very positive review. Thanks for taking the time to do this It is very much appreciated ❤️ Property Owner

    Great location too, close to Haworth main street, but very quiet. I loved coming back to it in the evening after a long day rambling across the moors. Excellent communications from Julie, too, who checked frequently that everything was ok, and left some very welcome treats! Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

    Thank you so much for this review Feldore ❤️ I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay in the cottage. You were very welcome and thank you so much for allowing us to put your photos up of Top Withens x Property Owner

  • "An absolute gem of a cottage in such an idyllic location that is only a few steps away from the main street where there are a plethora of cafes, restaurants and pubs."

    The cottage itself is gorgeous and was exactly what myself and my partner wanted it to be. From the moment we arrived, the scent of the air wicks, the warmth of the cottage and the generous welcome pack gave us lasting first impressions so we shall certainly be back in the not too distant future. The water fall shower is spectacular, the log burner roared with heat and made what was already a cosy cottage just that extra little cosier. Thank you for having the fireplace set up initially as it gave me the opportunity of how it should be setup (of course there’s instructions beside the fireplace too!) If I were to ask for one improvement it would be to have a tad comfier mattress (front room) as we both found it extremely springy and not very supportive.

  • "What a beautiful cottage!"

    Everything was beautifully clean and welcoming, especially the lovely thoughtful welcome gifts. The log fire was cosy in the evenings, the views from the windows over the houses to the moors beyond were amazing, because of the elevated position you can see for miles. Have to mention to wonderful shower.... incredible. We loved being able to walk to the main village street, visit the parsonage, coffee shops, pubs and restaurants without using the car. Walks across the Moor, and in the park are lovely. Don't miss a visit to the local chip shop and a hot meat roll from the butcher 2 mins away. Loved your cottage, we will certainly be back. Thank you for taking so much time and thought to make it so special.

Situated in the heart of the historic village of Haworth, in the rural countryside of West Yorkshire, rests this stone-built holiday home, Ducking Well Cottage.

This first-class Weavers Cottage, dating back to 1800s, is situated at the centre of Sun Street, overlooking the original site of the old Ducking Well, in an elevated position boasting views of Haworth countryside.

Boasting a characterful interior, with an enclosed rear garden and a sociable open-plan living space, whilst benefiting from close proximity to a wealth of amenities and attractions, Ducking Well Cottage is an excellent base from which to discover the delights of West Yorkshire.

The property has been lovingly restored over 3 years to a high standard by the owners with attention to detail and creative styling.

Many period features have been exposed maximising its potential and bringing all the elements of this historic property together to delight guests.

Park up in the off-road space provided or park outside the property before climbing the handful of stone steps leading through the well-kept, Yorkshire Stone flagged front garden and into the hallway of your new home-from-home.

Kick off your walking boots as you get settled into the open-plan living space of this truly charming abode, where wooden beams, exposed stonework and a warming woodburning stove retain the property’s original character, providing a truly beautiful and unique spot to spend quality time with loved ones.

On entering the property, you will be impressed by the original Yorkshire Stone flagged floor, The cottage boasts tasteful furnishings and atmospheric lighting throughout creating a nostalgic feel of bygone days.

Uncork a bottle of wine and enjoy a sumptuous spot in front of the television as the designated chef gets to work on preparing a hearty meal in the kitchen, before gathering together at the dining table to indulge amongst the crackle of the fire.

In the summer months, take advantage of your peaceful, countryside setting with a spot of alfresco dining in the beautifully well-appointed rear garden, and soak in the crisp air with your favourite tipple in hand.

As day draws to night, retreat indoors to catch your rest in one of two well-presented bedrooms, with a double or an intimate single to choose from, both serviced by the characterful shower room set across the way which boasts designer fittings and a walk-in shower with rainfall shower head.

Enjoying a central location in the heart of Haworth, you'll find a host of amenities resting on your doorstep; take a break from doing the cooking and pick up a takeaway from The Golden Hind Fisheries, fuel a day of excursions with a hearty breakfast at Hunters of Haworth, or catch a spot of live sport washed down with a crisp pint of ale at the Tap and Tonic, The cottage is just a few minutes' walk from the Main Street where there’s an abundance of traditional pubs, restaurants and cafes.

Why not visit one of Haworth’s oldest buildings dating back to 1580, Haworth Old Hall, for an evening meal which is just one minutes' walk away.

Renowned as the home of the literary Bronte sisters, there's a wealth of history to be discovered in Haworth, including the Brontë Parsonage Museum, whilst the picture-perfect cascade of Bronte Waterfall is an idyllic setting for an afternoon stroll.

The market town of Keighley is well worth a visit, with its bus museum, country mansion of Cliffe Castle and the National Trust's East Riddlesden Hall, whilst the bustling city of Bradford offers an exhilarating change of pace.

For an outdoor adventure, the Yorkshire Dales National Park awaits nearby, boasting over 600 square miles of vast, open moorland, craggy peaks and green dales, along with a collection of rustic and picture-perfect villages waiting to be explored.

About the location

HAWORTH

Skipton 13 miles; Hebden Bridge 8 miles.

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, all set against a framing backdrop of countryside famously described in the novel Wuthering Heights as wild, rugged and barren. Nearby, the famous Keighley and 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 National Railway Museum in York. The market town of Skipton, often fondly regarded as the Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, is just a short drive away, and also within reach are elegant Harrogate and vibrant Leeds and Manchester.
