“This was the first time I had stayed in a cottage for a holiday, the cottage was lovely, warm and inviting from the beginning of our stay.”

The owner had left a little welcome package which I thought was a very nice touch, the village was one of the quietest and friendliest places I have had the opportunity to visit.

“Pretty little place”

A stunning little cottage hidden just off main street. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable, just what we needed for our 1st trip after lockdown. Parking is on the museum carpark but it's not far. Tea/milk ready for a brew on arrival and a lovely comfy bed. It's old, tiny, sweet and special. We loved it ❤️

“Beautiful little cottage with everything you could want and more.”

The Owner is fantastic and goes to town with the little Extras to make the stay a happy one. Location is perfect for shops eateries and pubs in this chocolate box village. Will definitely come again soon.

“Brilliant”

I had a lovely restfull time here. Beautiful cottage inside, comfortable and homely. In a quiet location but within easy reach of pubs, shops, places of interest and walks. The only downside is having to pay for parking but that's not the owner's fault.

“A fantastic little character cottage in a quiet location.”

Ideal getaway for a couple. Lovely pubs, cafes and restaurants just feet away. With a steam train, Brontes Parsonage, lovely walks and towns and cities, such as Leeds, a short train or car journey away, there's lots of things to do, or not do, if you would prefer a lovely relaxing break.

“We had a fantastic time at this idyllic cottage.”

Tucked away in the corner of the courtyard meaning no one walking past and very quiet. Location was better than we expected, right at the top of the old high street with lots of pubs within about 20 yards and easy access to the footpaths out onto the moors. Fireplace is beautiful and the gas fire is so easy and yet so effective. Large radiators also and easy to operate heating, instant and plentiful hot water, sumptuous fluffy towels and comfy bedding. Welcome gifts was superb and so many other personal touches meaning we felt so very welcome. Our Christmas was so special and memorable, thank you.

“Cosy cottage in the heart of the village.”

I stayed for 10 days & used it as a writing retreat. It's right in the heart of the most beautiful Yorkshire village. The cottage was there when the Bronte's lived at the parsonage just next door- so it doesn't come with more character than that!Spotlessly clean and so cosy. Tucked away in a quite Fold at the top of the cobbled main street. There was a lovely welcome pack waiting when I arrived & lots of nice touches to make you feel welcome. Highly recommended.

“Lovely break, used the house as a base to explore the area for a potential move in the future.”

Beautifully decorated with lovely little touches. The real fire was a god send when we got caught in a rather large downpour! We had one issue which was very quickly resolved and really not a problem, the owner was quick to respond and resolve which was fantastic (so sorry it has taken us so long to leave feedback, we both thought the other had done it!) The bed was so so so so comfortable! Lovely quiet, out of the way setting in the close which really makes you feel you are set away from the world. Highly recommend to anyone who just wants to get away from it all!

The property

This interesting, stone-built, end of terrace cottage is situated in a quiet courtyard setting in the heart of the famous village of Haworth.

This delightful cottage has been lovingly furnished to provide a stylish holiday home, ideal for a romantic break in this enchanting historic area.

Full of character, the accommodation seamlessly combines original features, including the exposed stonework and traditional beams with a beautiful mixture of antique and contemporary furnishings.

Set over two floors, there is a fabulous open plan sitting room with a gas stove, lovely shaker-style kitchen, wooden floor and a leather Chesterfield sofa.

With hanging hops adding further character and warmth to the room this is an ideal place to relax after a day walking across the wild and rugged Bronte countryside.

The main bedroom boasts a feature double bed with views through an alley way to the village centre and there is an adjoining bathroom and useful single bedroom, styled to provide a holiday retreat of some considerable merit.

The elevated patio terrace adjacent to the cottage provides the perfect area to sit outside and relax after exploring the village and surrounding areas.

Steeped in literary history and formerly home to the Bronte sisters, Haworth has a lot to offer, from a variety of walks following in the footsteps of Catherine and Heathcliff, to lovely old curiosity shops, delightful cafes and good old fashioned, traditional pubs on the doorstep.

Nearby is Skipton, voted as the Best Place to Live in Britain in 2014, with its cobbled streets and delightful castle, while further afield is the interesting old Calderdale town of Hebden Bridge with its hippy culture and fabulous night life.

An exciting and interesting place to spend a romantic break.

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..
