"Acorn Cottage is a charming, traditional and comfortable accommodation for a self catering holiday, set in beautiful countryside on a quiet country lane."
We found everything we needed within, the quality the furnishings and fittings is first class, and there was no shortage of towels! The initial impression was excellent, and this didn't diminish during our weeks stay.
The owners, John and Bev, live nextdoor, were very welcoming and sociable, and most helpful when we needed local car repair services.
We would fully recommend Acorn Cottage and it's owners, and we would more than happily stay there again.

The cottage is ideally situated for the stunning Bronte countryside, within half an hours stroll across the viaduct into Thornton Village, and the fantastic Robertshaws Farm Shop within a five minute drive...ideal to call in for whatever you fancy it cooking on an evening. Would also recommend the Sunday Carvery at the Headley Golf Club, within a fifteen minutes stroll from the cottage.

"Cottage was immaculate, with not a speck of dust anywhere."
It has character, but facilities and features are very modern. (Lovely old thick walls, with new, top quality windows!).
There’s no mention or photograph from Sykes, of the second bedroom, so we were expecting a small room/bed. Not so ... It’s a comfy single bed, to complement the main bedroom. Interesting local artefacts and books are provided.
There are plenty of places to visit, within a short drive, though they were still subject to lockdown (indoor) restrictions. So we spent many cosy hours, watching telly, and reading!
It’s surrounded by fields, so the views are nice. There are several public footpaths, immediately from the cottage. They’re not signed well, though the hosts and locals are pleased to advise. Don’t miss the walk across the viaduct.
Worth knowing, is that ten minutes across the fields, is a bus stop. Frequent buses will take you to Bradford, or Keighley, as an option to taking the car.
The hosts are such lovely people, and we had some great conversations. Always available for questions, but never intrusive.
The welcoming gifts were extraordinary! A truly memorable stay.

I have stayed at a few cottages in the area and Acorn is the best by far. The cottage is very well equipped, cosy and very well placed for easy access to the Yorkshire Dales as well as the surrounding cities.

"We had a marvellous 4weeks at Acorn Cottage."
The cottage was exceptional in all aspects, warm, cosy, very well maintained to a very high standard, fitted through out with everything anyone would need for a short or long stay, like we had. John and Bev, the owners were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. We arrived on a wet, blustery dark late afternoon, and Bev was there to greet us.
This was our first time in a holiday cottage booked through Sykes Cottages. We had been recommended to use them through my auntie, uncle and family, who use them 2 - 3 times a year. A great recommendation as we couldn't fault them at all, and we have only had praises when we talk to family and friends, about the company.
The cottage is in a really good location for those people wanting to visit, Haworth, Halifax and it's famous Piece Hall and Shibden Hall, Skipton, Bolton Abbey and many more places of interest.
Unfortunately things come to an end, and we had to leave, to go back to everyday life! But we will always remember John and Bev and their kindness and hospitality.

"Acorn Cottage is situated on a quiet lane with fields all around."
There is off-road parking. To the front of the cottage is a lovely patio area with furniture. You can also make use of the garden across the lane which belongs to the lovely owners who live next door. The cottage has been furnished and kitted out with high quality furniture and accessories and the kitchen is again, high-spec and has everything you could want. The bathroom and separate loo are new and like the rest of the cottage, sparkly clean. The attractions of Bradford, Halifax and Saltaire are all close by. Howarth is only a few miles away and the Yorkshire Dales are within striking distance. We made good use of the farm shop which is just a few minutes away and sells superb meat, fruit, veg, pies etc. The owners of Acorn Cottage are friendly and welcoming and genuinely want you to enjoy your time in the cottage and in Yorkshire.
