Upstairs on the spacious mezzanine floor is a further double room with attached bathroom providing luxurious, modern facilities. Both bedrooms look out across Bridgehouse Beck to the railway, so breakfast in bed with the steam trains wending their way up the valley is a great way to relax and unwind.

    The proximity to the Worth Valley Railway was a bonus that attracted us to Chuffing Cottage. The facilités at the cottage made for an extremely comfortable stay and local amenities were within easy reach. The double parking spot was very useful.

    A great place to stay to watch the trains on the Keighley and Worth Valley railway and an excellent base for exploring the local area. The build up to Christmas in Haworth was amazing. We enjoyed joining the torchlight parade up Main Street accompanied by the brass band playing Christmas carols. The cottage had everything we needed.
