The small village of Oxenhope lies amid wonderful scenery, and offers the chance to take advantage of the multitude of walks in the area. The village, with its shops, churches and pubs, is home to the terminus for the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, an authentic steam railway brought to prominence in the film The Railway Children, which runs on a regular basis to Haworth and on down to Keighley. The area was made famous by the Bronte sisters, and the outstanding countryside was famously described in the novel Wuthering Heights as wild, rugged and barren.

The only point I would make is that more warning about the steep narrow stairs would be good. Also the cooking equipment could do with looking at. Maybe bigger Colander and smaller frying pan. But having said that, everything is usable, Tracey and Michael went out of there way to ensure we were okay and had all we needed. They are so friendly. Thank you for a lovely holiday. Also the photos don't do the views justice. Was simply stunning.
