About this property

This cosy shepherd’s hut is situated within the owner’s grounds, in stunning Bronte countryside near to the village of Oxenhope. This superb setting is perfect for couples looking for something a little bit different and provides a great spot for a romantic break away. Surrounded on three sides by lovely views, guests will be delighted to get away-from-it-all and experience a refreshing atmosphere. Three steps lead up to the hut and into a small porch area, where you can hang up your coats and kick off your boots. The open-plan living area has a compact but functional kitchen where you can rustle up delicious meals to be enjoyed out on the lovely patio. The main bed sits at the end of the room with a window looking out across the attached paddock, where horses can be seen grazing the day away. After a long hard walk, cosy up together and feel the warmth from the woodburning stove or sit out on the patio, light the chiminea and take in the beautiful surroundings. With everything you need, including a modern shower room, this is an opportunity not to be missed. If you can tear yourselves away, there are lovely public footpaths in and around the village, with some of the most popular walks situated around the reservoirs and the Bronte Falls. Walk along Bronte Way visiting the Bronte Bridge, leading out onto the bleak moors where you will find Top Withins. Skipton is nearby, with its delightful castle and further afield is the Victorian spa town of Harrogate, boasting fabulous shops, and an excellent theatre. Simply perfect for that romantic break with a difference!

Oxenhope lies amid wonderful scenery, and offers the chance to take advantage of the multitude of walks in the area. The village, with its shops, churches and pubs, is home to the terminus for the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, an authentic steam railway brought to prominence in the film The Railway Children, which runs on a regular basis to Haworth and on down to Keighley. The area was made famous by the Bronte sisters, and the outstanding countryside was famously described in the novel Wuthering Heights as wild, rugged and barren.
