About this property

A first-class, stone-built traditional terraced cottage set over three floors, in a courtyard of private properties in the very heart of Haworth. From the central location and the beautiful conversion of this traditional old cottage to the lovely furnishings and individual styling, this Haworth cottage is perfect for couples to get away from it all. This is a fine Haworth cottage, with character and charm throughout, featuring a spacious ground floor kitchen/diner with original beams and exposed stonework, and a warm and cosy first floor sitting room with woodburning stove. A beautiful modern bathroom with freestanding bath, separate shower and an adjoining master bedroom with feature fireplace all combine to make this a Haworth cottage of real distinction. This delightful Haworth cottage subtly combines a contemporary feel with original features to create a charming romantic retreat, a few yards from the historic high street. Steeped in literary history and formerly home to the Bronte sisters, Haworth has much to offer including traditional pubs, restaurants and cafes, and a variety of walks allowing visitors to follow in the footsteps of Catherine and Heathcliff by wandering the fantastic rugged moorland. Skipton is nearby with its cobbled streets and delightful castle while further afield is the Victorian spa town of Harrogate, boasting fabulous shops, an excellent theatre and the fantastic Royal Pump Room Museum. A wonderful Haworth holiday cottage, perfect for exploring all this lovely area has to offer.

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.

    Been many times and love it - it just needs a TV than can play more than a half dozen stations, and especially in winter it was disappointing that there were no logs for the wood burner on arrival, and that the central heating is so hard to keep on as the kitchen gets very cold.

    Overall, in need of an update, soft furnishings, window dressings, bedding and both seatees would benefit from steam cleaning or replacement covers. Maintenance issues, both doors and all windows very cold and draughty. The kitchen was too cold to sit in, the door was difficult to operate, didn't feel secure and felt very exposed after dark without the privacy of a blind. Cooking utensils need replacing and a cupboard to store food. Found socks in the bedroom drawer and washing machine. The main tv operated on a few channels as the reception was very poor. The one bedroom is a beautiful room but poorly furnished. Whilst the bathroom looked impressive there are a few maintenance issues.Could do with a big dose of TLC.

    Great views of Haworth church from the bedroom window . Bath and shower are lovely . Comfy bed . Parking can be tight so best to reverse in or you may struggle getting out . We’ve stayed here 6 times and enjoyed our stay every time . Great pubs and people are friendly .
