"We had a great week staying at Turner's Retreat."
The property, right in the heart of the action, was a marvellous place to use as the base for our holiday in an around Haworth. We were lucky to meet the owner Louise, and her son Alex, and between them they couldn't have done more to make our stay more perfect. Haworth is a friendly place and we were sorry when our time was up. Already thinking about going back soon and hopefully to Turner's Retreat!
A word on the parking - the RingGo app, which covers several car parks in Haworth, is easy to install and very simple to use. We used it for the Bronte Museum Car Park throughout the week, coming and going, and topping up as need be from the comfort of wherever we were, no rushing out to put a pound in the meter!

"I had a wonderful stay at Turners Retreat!"
Ideally situated on the main street, but never noisy, it was lovely and clean with everything you need provided. The bed was really comfy and the wifi worked well.
Parking was easy on the museum carpark and you can pay via ringo app for days at a time so you don't need to keep checking. I had intended to leave the car there until I discovered that the Spar and Co-op are situated somewhere near the Earth's core and carrying shopping back was no fun!
Louise is the perfect host, friendly and happy to help but only if you need her to.
Haworth itself is tourist orientated with quirky independent shops and plenty of places to eat and drink from breakfast time onwards, it has a really laid back feel. Loved it, thank-you Louise

Everything you need clean and comfortable really needed outside space with dog but we knew this before we booked and heating would better be controlled by holiday let rather than owner … owner very efficient sorting problem with heating I have to add … all in all a very pleasant stay

"Excellent dog friendly property in an ideal location, with direct access to all the local amenities and local walks."
With no control over the heating, it did get a little cold in the property on an evening, but this didn’t detract from the stay and we would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.
The heating is set to come on from 6.30pm till 11pm and set at 18.5 degrees. We are more than happy to turn it up should we be asked. We are in the shop every day except Monday and Tuesday, but can be contacted on the phone number provided. Property Owner

"This is a nice little flat right in the middle of Haworth."
I had a long weekend that was all too short. There is so much to do in the area that a week would have been more appropriate. I didn't want for anything, but if I did the owner was easy to communicate with, friendly and accommodating. You can't park right by the property other than for unloading, so you'll probably have to use the nearby carparks at £8/day. I would come again, possibly on the train to Keighley and get the steam train down to Haworth from there (weekends only).

"In heart of the town, looking down the main street one-side, facing beautiful trees another side."
Louise was a helpful hostess, with a nice welcome basket (a bottle of wine, cookies, chocolate, etc) in the kitchen, we also picked up cakes from her tea shop downstairs.
Lots of space and bright - the bathroom was huge.
Depending on the seasons and weather outside, the bedroom might feel bit moldy which would go away if you keep door open for some hours. The bedroom window is like a picture frame, beautiful tree/hills outside.

"Definitely not for the old or anyone with any walking disabilities."
Very dark outside of property once the sensor light goes off. Only one set of keys. Wee notes left on door saying door not locked!! But if one of us went out with the dog the other would be locked inside property!! No parking so have to park in car park costing over £7.00 a day and not the £4.00 we where told !! In the bathroom the bath feels if it is actually sinking into the floor on one side. Floors very uneven. Bed is definitely not a double. Very small. Howorth is definitely a lovely place. Will not book this apartment (it’s not a cottage) again but would use Sykes cottages again very pleasant lady who dealt with us.

"This is a wonderful cottage/apartment with a perfect location on Main Street - right in the middle of all the cafes and tourist shops."
Unbeatable location but still very quiet esp after 5pm. The only thing people should be aware of are the steep stairs inside and out and the very slow internet. But aside from these things the apartment has everything and more for a comfortable and well supported stay.

"Shower not too good for anyone 6ft or over but ok if you sit in the bath and then shower."
Great position, everything on your doorstep. Yes, steep steps outside and steep stairs but we are very late 60's - myself with sciatica - and and had no difficulties. Further to someone else's remark on wifi, we found it worked just fine. Overall lovely relaxed stay.

"We found the bed very noisy (the mattress squeaks!"
) and rather uncomfortable.
We were very grateful for the wine and milk and biscuits and loved the location. The dog towels and dog biscuits were a lovely touch as well.
The bathroom needs attention and the radiator was full of dust (not very reassuring that it had been cleaned in the recent past).

"We had a fabulous break at Turners Retreat."
The location is perfect for exploring Haworth and the beautiful surrounding area. It was great to have the entrance hall downstairs to leave coats and muddy boots. Louise even provided doggy towels! The apartment was very comfortable and well equipped. Louise's extra touches were an unexpected surprise. Thank you so much

"The cottage is difficult to access: it’s outside stairs are slippery, very uneven and poorly lit and the key safe is so high on the wall that I had to find bricks to stand on to see to operate it-it too needs better lighting."
Both keys once obtained are difficult to use and there is no number”52A” displayed anywhere.
Inside the cottage is warm and pleasant enough and quite well equipped. But there is no lock on the bathroom door and the oven doors need a clean. White goods worked well and pods to use with them were provided-unusual on my experience but the overall ambiance was a little dated.
Finally-there is a real issue with parking which I feel needs to be addressed even though I do not personally have a car.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.
It may be helpful to point out that the stone steps outside the property are in character with the period of the property. However, this information is given in the advertisement on our website, in addition to which there is also a handrail.

"The description of the accomodation was not accurate."
The picture to find the property is incorrect.
No mention of the extremely steep stairs which for both humans and dogs are hard to negotiate. Getting your items in was a struggle. Not good for six month old pup who should not be going upstairs.
Parking was a nightmare. Trying to negotiate the parking meters to ensure not getting a ticket for the weekend was nearly impossible.
The accomodation itself was quirky and clean. Louise was lovely and sorted our heating issues immediately. Nice welcome mince pies and treats for the dogs.

"Turners Retreat is a really comfortable home from home and made an excellent base for exploring West Yorkshire."
We visited Hebden Bridge, Skipton and Saltaire Village, all dog friendly destinations, and all within easy reach by car. The area is also well served by the local Bronte Bus and we could have travelled to Hebden Bridge by bus except for the fact that the main road to Hebden Bridge was closed for repairs between 9am and 4:30 pm. the week we were there. That was just a bit of bad luck however. Haworth itself is a brilliant village for dog owners since so many shops, cafes and restaurants are dog friendly and this apartment is, of course, also dog friendly. Louise, the owner of the property, was very friendly and helpful and we much appreciated the pint of milk, biscuits and fresh flowers which she left for us. There were also lots of other little thoughtful extras in the cupboards, such as washing up liquid, coffee, toilet rolls, and gravy powder.
This property is accessed via an exterior set of stone steps and a further steep set of stairs inside. It wasn’t a problem for us, but it could be if someone had mobility issues. There are also a couple of steps up to the bedroom.
We really enjoyed our stay here in September and very much appreciated the central heating which had been set to come on in the morning and evening. We were blessed with lovely warm weather during the day but, even so, it can get a little chilly in the evenings in autumn and I’m sure, whatever the weather outside, this apartment would be cosy and warm.

"I wouldn't class the property as a 4* listing."
One further shortcoming with the premises is that you have to go up initial steps and then through three doors (2 with locks) and up a steep narrow stairway to access it. Also inside the property are two further steep steps into the bedroom.
