Duck Egg Cottage in Haworth is highly praised for its superb location, cleanliness, and the convenience of having a parking space right outside. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen and the cosy atmosphere, with several mentioning the property's proximity to Main Street and the moors. While some minor issues were noted, the overall sentiment is positive, with many guests looking forward to returning.
Most guests found Duck Egg Cottage to be very clean and well-presented. There were a few isolated complaints about cleanliness, such as dust and a damp smell, but these appear to be exceptions rather than the rule.
The location is consistently lauded for being close to Main Street, with easy access to shops, pubs, and the moors. The convenience of the location is a highlight for many guests.
The majority of guests found the cottage comfortable and cosy, especially praising the log burner. However, some guests mentioned that the beds, particularly in the main bedroom, could be more comfortable.
The cottage is well-equipped, particularly the kitchen, and guests are generally satisfied with the facilities. Some guests suggested additional items and mentioned minor maintenance issues, such as the shower pressure and the lack of clear instructions for heating and bins.
Guests mentioned thoughtful touches like milk and biscuits on arrival, which were well-received. However, as these gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, they should be considered a pleasant bonus rather than an expectation.
About this property
Resting just a moment’s walk from the winding streets of Haworth, lies the quaint, mid-terrace Duck Egg Cottage. Hosting three charming bedrooms, this delightful abode welcomes families looking to explore the historic Brontë Country. After a day of wandering the Yorkshire hills, look forward to unwinding in the sitting room, boasting exposed beams and a woodburning stove, you’ll feel a sense of character on your return. Move into the kitchen where you’ll find all the essentials, such as an electric oven and ceramic hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and even a washing machine and tumble dryer, ensuring you are fully catered for. The bedrooms can be found upstairs and offer a traditional décor, offering a king-size, a small 4’6” double and single bed, each with plush duvets and plenty of storage space. Take a favourite drink outside and relax within the enclosed courtyard, offering outdoor furniture which is also perfect for alfresco dining. If you fancy a night off cooking, a short stroll brings you to a selection of country pubs and fine restaurants, as well as bars where you can sample some Yorkshire gin and real ales. The village is known for being the home to the Brontë sisters, who were inspired by the surrounding beauty to pen their novels, and with quaint alleys and cobbled streets creating a period atmosphere, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped back into another era. Visit attractions such as the Brontë family home and museum and the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway, a preserved railway as shown in the famous film, The Railway Children. Venture to the lively market town of Skipton, regarded as the Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, with its stunning castles and scenic walking routes through the National Park, or head to the bustling city of Leeds for a welcome change of scenery. With all this in reach, Duck Egg Cottage provides a lovely retreat, whatever time of year.
Home of the famous Brontë sisters, the village of Haworth lies in West Yorkshire, 3 miles from Keighley and 10 miles from Bradford. With its historic Main Street, iconic parsonage and rolling moors, this picturesque village makes you feel like you’ve stepped back into another era. Visit nearby Keighley, a historic mill town where you can hop onboard the Worth Valley Railway, a heritage steam line which has been lovingly restored.

Not sure about poor rating from one of the reviewers. We stayed after her and did not see any of the issues she raised. Kitchen well equipped and we did cook a lot. Great location very close to main street pubs and ideal for walking round the hills and moors. Had a parking spot too which was a bonus. Bed mattresses may need updating as not very comfy in main double room but we managed.

Plus the electrical faults and lack of maintenance and cleanliness. It could be a nice let if all my findings were addressed but the owner already said there was nothing wrong. I have no need to lie about things. The only plus thing I can say is the property has nice carpet throughout and nice white towels .
