About this property
Sitting amongst the beauty of West Yorkshire, with distant views of the steam trains of Keighley and Worth Valley Light Railway, is the stone-built cottage Little Barn. Tucked away in the village of Cross Roads near Haworth on the banks of the River Worth, this property offers a rural escape for friends and families looking to explore Yorkshire. Take the several steps up to the front door to be welcomed in by a stylish kitchen, with the interior of the cottage offering a contemporary style while its exterior is more traditional, the cottage has an eclectic charm. Enjoy a romantic moment at the breakfast bar with your partner with a glass of fizz in hand while your dinner simmers on the induction hob, before moving through to the living/dining room to enjoy your homemade meal and unwinding on the corner sofa as the warmth of the rustic woodburning stove fills the room. The ground floor also hosts a sparkling shower room and a double bedroom with exposed stone walls bringing even more character to the property and making a great sleeping spot for those less able. Up on the first floor you can find the master king-size bedroom complete with a luxurious freestanding bath in the room, perched next to the window so you can soak in your wonderful surroundings while relaxing in the bubbles, along with a convenient cloakroom being found up here too. Completing the interior is a first-floor snug with a sofa bed allowing for flexible sleeping arrangements or a lovely spot to delve into a good book. The excitement continues outside with the rear enclosed courtyard being home to your very own private hot tub where you can marvel at the stars in the dark skies following an evening of alfresco dining around the barbecue. The position of the property is perfect for those seeking an idyllic base that isn't far from an array of fantastic attractions, with the village of Cross Roads hosting pubs, restaurants, a bakery and takeaways, it has all you could need when you don't feel like cooking. The beautiful village of Haworth is just down the road, recognised for being the home-town of the famous Brontë sisters and boasting quaint cobbled streets, boutique shops, tea rooms, country pubs and restaurants, as well as the popular Brontë Parsonage Museum, bridges and buildings linking back to the Brontë family home and literary past. For those seeking outdoor adventure, be sure to take a trip to Bingley St Ives, a 500 acre park, home to the landmark of Lady Blantyre's Rock and offering golfing opportunities and lovely walks around the lake. Or to explore the beauty of the area in a different way, be sure to take a memorable trip on a steam train at heritage railway Keighley and Worth Valley Railway- famed for the 1970's film The Railway Children, it's a true marvel to be seen taking you all the way to the charming village of Oxenhope. For even more wonderful nature, venture into the North York Moors National Park to find walking and cycling routes for all abilities amongst some of the most remarkable settings in Yorkshire, or visit the historic city of Bradford and marvel at its astounding architecture for a different kind of splendour.

We absolutely loved the cottage, it was immaculate, luxurious and so comfortable. The views from the cottage were amazing. The hot tub was lovely, especially first thing in the morning...so peaceful with just the birds singing. We had a deer in our garden and the chickens were really lovely and quite comical! Haworth village was so nice, very picturesque and easy to walk to. We would definitely return to the cottage. The host was always on hand should we need any information and checked in with us during our stay to check we were ok. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch containing a bottle of prosecco, some sweets and chocolates, a small bottle of milk and some fresh eggs. Thank you so much for the lovely minimoon.

The cottage is equipped with everything you could possibly need and is a great base for exploring the surrounding area. We ventured off to Ilkley, Skipton and Haworth during our stay and did some fantastic walks in glorious weather (makes a change!)! Returning back to the hot tub at the cottage was a real highlight and we thoroughly enjoyed a dip each evening! Communication with Bev the owner was great and she went above and beyond to provide everything we needed, including a lovely welcome hamper! The main highlight (well my wifeâs highlight) was the chickens, who visited us each morningâ¦..mainly because they got fed with the chicken feed provided!! We also saw deer while at the cottage which was a real treat! The only thing I would say that could improve the cottage would be a king size bed in the downstairs bedroom! Not a major issue, but a bit more comfortable for those of us over 6â and thereâs plenty of room to fit one in! Overall, for a relaxing break away, I would highly recommend a visit to Little Barn!

We walked in to lovely music, warmth and a homely feel. A welcome pack of biscuits, a bottle of Prosecco and a cute milk bottle! (Not sure if that's std or left by others) On arrival, the initial drive into the back yard area was a little shock - a bit of a run down look, however we feel its maybe being done up and should we return in a year or so, it could look very different. The deer and the hens roaming about are lovely to see, with feed provided for them - had great fun feeding the fowl :-) The yard area and hot tub is private, well maintained and ready for use on arrival. The house is well stocked, welcoming and modern. The owner (Bev) was VERY friendly & helpful, with lots of local knowledge and never tired of my questions! lol Was nice to have direct contact with the owner, instead of someone with no knowledge of the property or area. Local shops are about 40mins walk away, Local WMC ( Bocking WMC) 10mins walk and worth a visit - very welcoming, friendly and looks like recently modernised. Steam train runs from the station within the local village.
