About this property

A beautiful, stone-built, former stables and hayloft building set next to the owner's home in an elevated rural location overlooking the valley of Trawden. 10 miles from Skipton and Haworth. Set on a high moorland location, with fabulous views in almost every direction, this is the perfect location to get away from it all and enjoy splendid country living, waking up each day to the horse and the resident, tame sheep. From the moment you walk into this beautiful holiday home you will be impressed by many things, not least the owner’s attention to detail, the wonderful styling and the quirky design of this first-class accommodation. Guests enter from the private parking area past the pretty little garden area and through an entrance porch into the upper ground floor which has been split into three spaces and combines many of the original ceiling beams with new and contemporary fixtures and fittings. The first bedroom contains two single beds with en-suite shower room and the second main bedroom a king-size bed, freestanding bath, separate WC and a wonderful Juliet balcony with lovely views out across the paddock and across to the moorland. The third space on the upper ground floor has been dedicated to a snug area with a multi-games table incorporating air hockey, table football and pool, and board games. The upper floor is partly open to the lower ground floor and guests descend a bespoke staircase with homemade balustrade to the lower ground floor living area, containing the kitchen, sitting and dining area and a separate cloakroom area with basin and WC. The cosy woodburner, set into a beautiful stone chimney, is a real feature with the main chimney going up through the centre of the building, an interesting feature and one of many in this beautiful holiday home. Light the fire, take a comfortable seat and take in the lovely exposed stonework, the original A-frame ceiling beams and the wrought iron features, including a most interesting horseshoe effect on the main wall. Two patio doors provide a bright and cheery feel to the room and lead out onto a spacious patio area with barbecue and a chiminea, once again, a great place to be to take in the 270 degree views. guests can sit on the Rattan patio set, under the glass roof, in total privacy whilst enjoying the mood lighting, a drink and taking in the far distance views of the dramatic moorlands. A stairway from the patio takes guests back to the upper car parking area. There are excellent walks and cycle tracks from the doorstep whilst nearby the Wycoller Country Park offer great walking opportunities. Steeped in literary history and formerly home to the Bronte Sisters, nearby Haworth has traditional pubs, restaurants and cafes, and a variety of walks, allowing visitors to follow in the footsteps of Catherine and Heathcliff and wander the fantastic rugged moorland. Skipton is nearby, with its cobbled streets and delightful castle making this cottage a truly great place to be whatever the time of year.

Haworth is a small village located in the area of the Yorkshire Dales known as Bronte Country and was the home of the Bronte sisters. Haworth offers interesting shops, alleyways and cobbled streets and sits amidst fabulous countryside. Visit the Worth Valley Railway, featured in ‘The Railway Children' film or the Bronte Parsonage Museum. Skipton and Harrogate are an easy drive away.

  • Andy

    Sam was really friendly and helpful and made a special effort to make us feel welcome during our stay. Would definitely stay again!

  • Denise

    Immaculate throughout and wonderful for a winter break with its log fire. Beautiful views of the nearby hills and very peaceful. You get your own 2 pet sheep to feed every morning. Couldn’t do more than to recommend it to anyone who likes creature comforts. The owners have and are still doing an amazing job. Will definitely return
