  • "Absolutely stunning property loved our stay."

    Spotless! Well equipped and lots of lovely treats for us and the dogs which we really appreciated. Garden isn’t secure for dogs as they could easily get under the gate when it was closed. Slight negative with the heating system as it was far too warm during the night and we didn’t want to disturb the settings. We had the windows open but it was uncomfortable in the early hours of the morning and was noisy, not excess but it disturbed us as we were awake as it was so warm.

    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.

    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!

  • "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

    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.
