The Old Forge

Excellent central location for exploring Haworth and surrounding countryside.

Beautifully refurbished and decorated property with car parking right outside..... fine for our Micra but maybe tricky for large vehicles. Very quiet and restful place for a break. We enjoyed it very much, thank you.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage.

The cottage was clean, and welcoming. Yes, the parking space was tight but managed to get our volvo estate in it. Was very close to the shops and local pubs, which was nice. Had messages before we went from the owners explaining where everything was, the book inside needs a little update, but still helpful. We'd defo go again.

The Old Forge was the ideal place to stay in Haworth, very close to Main Street and The Bronte Parsonage, the cottage was really warm and comfortable for a December stay.

I would highly recommend staying here.

Great location, lovely house.

Really good facilities and a lovely home that’s tastefully done. Negatives- bed is abit small, room is plenty big enough for a king size and the mattress feels like it’s dipped on the edge. Only one wine glass; meant my husband was drinking wine out of a gin balloon, might not bother some people but felt like we were back at uni! The parking space is small which is fine, just a bonus having parking! But the other residents of The Fold made it nearly impossible to park, blocking cars in and double parking. Oh and alot of cobwebs! Light fittings etc need attention. Sounds like a negative review and it absolutely is NOT! (Hence not publishing the comments on Sykes). We had a great time and the house is lovely, I have already recommended to some family who are wanting to book. We would rebook again if we come to Haworth again and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We had a very enjoyable stay at the Old Forge in Haworth.

The cottage was well presented with all the necessary facilities that made the stay like home from home. The parking was interesting but not too major an issue if you did not have a large car. We visited a number of places whist staying in Haworth such as the church and the Bronte Parsonage. We had an excellent meal at The Hawthorn, it is very popular so you need to book. We also had a good day out on the Keithley and Worth Railway which featured in The Railway Children Film

Absolutely lovely cottage , great location, everything you need is provided, very comfortable.

We had a lovely stay.

The cottage is beautiful and very spacious with lovely furnishings. The location of the cottage is perfect for Main Street. We did find the parking a challenge as we have quite a long car, however it was worth the effort! Would not hesitate to return.

We had a fabulous stay at The Old Forge!

It was even more spacious than expected based on the pictures, and it had everything we needed for a cosy winter weekend away. It's also a stone's throw from the centre of Haworth, with shops on restaurants practically in the doorstep, while still being peaceful and quiet. Sophie was great at being in touch before we arrived too, making sure we had everything we needed. Thanks for a great weekend!

Another very enjoyable stay in a lovely property with a lot of history , charm and comfort .

The property is well looked after , appearing in as good a condition as the first time we stayed . We are already planning our return .

Cottage is in a great location and has a small parking space which is a bonus in Haworth.

Very handy having a washing machine as we were travelling from overseas. Not sure if the cottage was empty for awhile, but there were quite a few cobwebs about and the cups and plates had to be washed before using them as all the cups had tea stains.plus there was mold in the shower. Ample provisions of tea and coffee, but no milk on arrival was disappointing. Bed was small but comfy.

Had a lovely holiday in the well positioned holiday cottage with the added bonus of a parking space .

We would visit again .

A very comfortable and enjoyable stay at this well equipped and unusual property.

The location was superb offering a glimpse back to Haworth in bygone times. We would definitely recommend it.

Lovely character property in great location.

Been many times and love it - it just needs a TV than can play more than a half dozen stations, and especially in winter it was disappointing that there were no logs for the wood burner on arrival, and that the central heating is so hard to keep on as the kitchen gets very cold.

Firstly a stunning property in a fantastic location but not so friendly neighbours.

Overall, in need of an update, soft furnishings, window dressings, bedding and both seatees would benefit from steam cleaning or replacement covers. Maintenance issues, both doors and all windows very cold and draughty. The kitchen was too cold to sit in, the door was difficult to operate, didn't feel secure and felt very exposed after dark without the privacy of a blind. Cooking utensils need replacing and a cupboard to store food. Found socks in the bedroom drawer and washing machine. The main tv operated on a few channels as the reception was very poor. The one bedroom is a beautiful room but poorly furnished. Whilst the bathroom looked impressive there are a few maintenance issues.Could do with a big dose of TLC.

The cottage is in a brilliant location .

Great views of Haworth church from the bedroom window . Bath and shower are lovely . Comfy bed . Parking can be tight so best to reverse in or you may struggle getting out . We’ve stayed here 6 times and enjoyed our stay every time . Great pubs and people are friendly .

Lovely spacious and comfortable cottage in an excellent location.

Although very central the property was quiet and the lovely log burner made us feel really cosy. Haworth is a beautiful place with cobbled streets - it has lots of nice shops, pubs and eateries - was a perfect place to spend Christmas. The small courtyard was a bit of a challenge for parking.

A great place to stay, so well situated in Haworth.

The cottage was spacious, clean and well supplied with towels etc. in both the bathroom and kitchen. Parking was tight for a smallish car, most 4x4's would struggle. Plenty of good walks locally and lots of independent shops in the High St. Spar and Co-op at the bottom of the hill by the railway station.

Great location, lovely cottage, really well maintained and equipped and spotless.

Advice on parking was spot on, we had no problem. Only slight niggle would be the kitchen could do with some better lighting in the working area.

The cottage was a lot bigger than we thought it would be.

Tastefully decorated, very comfortable and in the perfect location. The owners were really helpful and the place was immaculately clean. We’d highly recommend it.

Lovely accommodation idealy situated to wander around Haworth and the surounding areas.

which was truly beautiful. Parking was a challenge, but grateful for a secure space. Kitchen well equiped for a self catering holiday. But great for local eateries, and individual shops. Would stay again.

I loved the cottage.

Perfect for us to explore the area. Would love to stay here again.

Had a wonderful stay at the old forge in Haworth everything was so perfect for us the cottage was lovely and spotlessly clean, bed was very comfy too, the location was great cobbled streets to shops and pubs lovely park nearby too, Definitely going to be returning to stay here next year!

We have regularly visited Haworth at this time of Year.

It was great to stay 'At the top of the hill' in a very pleasant house. We loved the layout of this property and all of the furniture, fittings, decorations were first class. The old style front door and the amazing old lock were really interesting. Parking is a tight squeeze but right outside the door. We had a fabulous stay here.

What a lovely find this cottage( Old Forge) in the so typical old Yorkshire town Haworth, with cobbled streets, couldn’t ask for more, cottage within 10 meters of the town, but so quite in its own little side street and it’s lovely shops, church and pubs, the locals are so helpful and friendly.

Plus you have Brontë storey on your door step, plus the railway children railway. All finished off with excellent eateries. Plus the cottage is so comfy and clearly full of its character

Fantastic break here.

Slept better than I have for a long time. Well equipped and very clean. So close to shops etc, but no noise at all. We will definitely be back again

The cottage is well positioned to explore Yorkshire and the surrounding attractions.

The cottage in the heart of Haworth is well equipped throughout, the good-sized bathroom and the very comfortable bed is a dream. Would definitely stay there again.

This is a lovely property and the location is great.

We had a great time and would certainly consider coming back again. If you've never been to Haworth, this is a great place to explore the area. Coming in winter the Heights were a bit Wuthering at times but having a cosy cottage with a log stove to return to made it all the better.

Fabulous stay and the owners were very helpful and accommodating

Excellent property in great location, didn’t use the car all week !

Really nice and well positioned in the village.

We enjoyed our stay at the old forge.

It was clean and comfortable and in an extremely convenient part of Haworth. We had several days where we did not need to use the car. The Brontë parsonage museum was well worth a visit and we enjoyed the walk to the Brontë Falls. Several local pubs were very good - food at The fleece inn was reasonably priced and good. Downside was the parking - it should be noted that parking is for smaller cars. It was a struggle parking our large SUV.

me and my partner stayed for 3 nights over the bank holiday weekend and had an amazing stay.

.the location is excellent and the cottage was spotlessly clean with everything we needed for our stay..we love to walk and theres plenty to explore from the doorstep..i would definately return and recommend to friends and family..thank you Jake and Sophie for sharing your lovely home

Fantastic cottage based right in the heart of Haworth.

Very quiet location with a lovely view of church from living room. Owner very informative and contactable at all times. Would highly recommend this place and we look forward to staying again in the future.

The old Forge is set in small courtyard very close to the centre of Haworth.

It’s very clean and has everything you could need. I imagine the log burner is really cosy in the winter. The bathroom is amazing! Huge bath and fantastic shower. We both found the bed really uncomfortable and did not sleep well on the 2 nights we stayed. Maybe the mattress needs replacing or have a topper. Such a shame as this was the only thing that was wrong with this beautiful place.

Perfect cottage to stay in for our planned sight seeing.

Loved the cottage, it had almost everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable for a good night's rest. The bathroom was lovely, the bath especially. We did find the sofas a little uncomfortable to sit on and the kitchen very cold. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay again and recommend this cottage.

We had an amazing weekend.

The cottage was spotless and so comfortable, we would definitely book again

The cottage is of a much higher standard than the many I looked at when booking the holiday.

It is extremely comfortable and tastefully decorated, and the location is perfect. We found the cottage and Haworth absolutely wonderful, and will definitely be booking again.

Great location enjoyed our weekend stay, the cottage was well maintained and clean.

It would be a good holiday let for a couple but as a possibly improvement a mattress topper for the pull out sofa bed would be an asset as without one it was a little unconformable for our grown up daughter. Car parking can be difficult with the number of cars parked in the close and the car parking space is ideal for a small car.

The cottage was spotlessly clean and really comfortable.

The kitchen had everything we needed to cook up our own food. The only Downside was the off-street parking. While it was easy enough to use when the street was clear, as soon as the neighbours parked it was impossible to get in. We used the village as a base for local walks and with the multitude of pubs and restaurants we didn't need to go anywhere else afterwards. Thanks for the stay

Lovely property in a fantastic location

This is one of the nicest properties we have ever stayed at.

It is really spacious for two; in an ideal location for the village and has everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Couldn’t recommend it more!

The parking space is very tight- we had a Toyota Corolla which just about fitted.

A bigger car would struggle. There is a car park just round the corner which always had plenty of places but have to pay.

On the whole we had a good stay , however there are issues which I feel need addressing Firstly Parking , this was an absolute pain, as the designated space was not generous, we have a Mokka and only just managed to t it in, anything bigger then this it would be almost impossible, combined with the parking from the residents in the cul de sac it made for stress you did not want .

Secondly, there needs to be more storage both in the kitchen and a wardrobe upstairs. There was only just enough space for 2 people and their clothes , not sure how 4 people would manage to put their clothes, and lack of wardrobe meant the use of hangers on a coat rack was a balancing act to prevent coat rack and clothes from falling over. The lack of storage in the kitchen meant there was little space to store food , not everyone can afford to eat out Although cottage was spotlessly clean the carpets were not and could do with a good clean It was little things like, there had obviously been a water leak at some time in the lounge but the paintwork after the leak was shoddy and not even the same colour as original, and stood out. We had an issue with the radiator in the bathroom which wasnt working , although Jake assured us he was trying to get someone to fix the issue, it meant that for the week the only way we could dry towels was by putting the heating on, and in 30 degree heat that wasnt ideal Nowhere that I could see did it state that the only toilet was on the third floor, this could be a major issue for some people with mobility issues. In the present staycation world we now live in, I feel that to sell a holiday cottage on location alone , may not be the right thing to do, people expect value for money and owners need to invest time and money in their properties.

Lovely cottage, excellent location.

The cottage was in a great location.

However the kitchen was dark, freezing cold and smelled very badly of damp and so was unusable as a living space because of this. You had to brace yourself to head down into the kitchen as it was so cold and it made the rest of the house cold because it was open plan up to the livingroom. The central heating didn't work so you couldn't heat it up. Also the parking space was a nightmare, one of the reasons for choosing the cottage was because it had a designated space but we couldn't get the car in and out as owners round about parked all over the place and we ended up having to pay for parking for the whole week of our stay. You might be okay if you had a really tiny car but any normal.size car is not going to fit. Due to all off the above, we felt The Old Forge was very over priced accommodation in comparison to other places we have stayed.

Brilliant holiday lovely accommodation in a stunning part of the world even the rain didn’t spoil things (but don’t remember requesting that on the booking form

Great location in Haworth.

Lovely cottage in a brilliant location.

Bear everything you need and right in the centre for all of the pubs/restaurants etc.

Lovely cottage in a great location right off the High Street and by the Parsonage.

The check in and out times could have been a little more generous. Enjoyed the weekend though - would recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing few days exploring Haworth

really nice place, lovely owners and great location

Lovely log burner, deep bath, warm and cosy accommodation in a prime situation in Haworth.

Beautiful, cosy property, immaculate presentation, excellent location.

We loved our stay at the old forge, I’d definitely recommend it.

The Old Forge was the perfect base to explore Bronte country and enjoy living in the idyllic unspoilt historic village of Haworth.

Beautifully equipped and ideally situated. A luxury home from home with very thoughtful touches.

Lovely cottage just like the pictures.

Great to have a parking space although a large car might struggle. Amazing bathroom. Perfect place to just relax.

It met our expectations as we have been to the Old Forge before ( only time we have revisited a cottage ).

The bed was really comfortable and we slept better than we do at home lol. The hanging space in the bedroom is quirky but enough for two. We do find we gravitate to the kitchen/dinner and feel it would benefit from a radio down there....would also suggest a small mirror in the kitchen for us women as you have to go up 3 flights to check hair etc

Very clean and pleasant cottage excellent for a lazy time away or to visit near by towns harrogate ,skipton ,york is stunning.

Car parking very tight for large and long estate bad in dark and could do with TV in kitchen for us rather than bedroom.

Otherwise very good would go again very good position for everything

The property was warm, comfortable and in a very good location.

The oversized shower enclosure was great as well as the large rooms. The only let down was the small double bed which was uncomfortable and not conducive to a good night's sleep. A king sized bed would have us booking this cottage for every trip to Haworth, and we visit a lot!

Went to the Old Forge for my partners birthday and she absolutely loved it.

Expectional property in a great location. We really did have a great time, everything we needed was provided and catered for. Would love to return at some stage

Beautiful cottage , had everything you needed for a great stay .

Fabulous bath , loved the log burner. cottage was well decorated with lovey period furniture in kitchen . Less then a minute walk to bars , restaurants , shops etc . And an added bonus was the parking space outside your door . Downsides were that it really needs a new mattress. Springs creaking and cracking when you move and bows in the middle . Also most of the cottage was very clean but every room had loads of cobwebs which need to be dealt with ASAP . This should be part of the cleaning regime each time someone hires the cottage .

Third time at cottage, always an enjoyable stay, with great local facilities on the doorstep.

Howarth very lively especially over Halloween, everybody enjoying themselves. A great short break

Still waiting to return phone call.

We actually sorted the problem ourselves.Parking space only suitable for small vehicle and once parked blocked in.Pillows need changing and no wardrobe just a coat hanger.

Cottage very nice, and quiet location.

Central to village with shops and pub's nearby.

We thoroughly enjoyed our few days in Haworth.

The snowy weather made the journey there pretty hairy but once we arrived we couldn’t have asked for more. The owners of The Old Forge were very helpful and the property itself was lovely and much more spacious than we’d expected. Lots to recommend the property but the log burner made it extra special. Haworth is a great village with some super independent shops, pubs and restaurants. The property couldn’t be better located for everything, including access to the moors. We definitely plan to return.

On arriving at the cottage it was warm, cosy, clean and in a perfect location in the centre of Haworth.

A must for all Bronte fans. The church, Parsonage, Main street and access to the Bronte Way was right on your doorstep. Will definitely be back at this gorgeous cottage. Thank you to the the owners for renting a Gem of a property.

Charming little cottage ideal for a couple.

Walking distance to everything Haworth has to offer.

Very good, all I expected.

Super location.

The Old Forge is right in the heart of Haworth and there are several excellent pubs and restaurants within a few minutes walk, there are also numerous countryside walks which all start from the cottage doorstep so you really don't need to use your car at all, an ideal comfortable base for a relaxing break in a lovely setting.
