  We had a lovely pre-Christmas stay at Chuffing Cottage and hope to return again soon!

  The modern cottage is located in a quiet residential development in Haworth and we were thrilled to hear and see a steam train go ‘chuffing’ by behind the house, within a few minutes of arriving! The excitement never wore off and we rushed to the window every time we heard the train coming - such a lovely treat for kids and adults alike! Well equipped, the cottage contains everything needed for a comfortable stay and we loved the beautiful welcome pack which featured some nice chocolate treats that were enjoyed by the children, as well as snacks, bread, milk and a bottle of wine; a very nice gesture to welcome visitors! Haworth Main Street with its quaint shops and eateries is only a short walk away - but worth noting it’s up a rather steep hill (as those who know the area will be aware: it’s all part of the charm). There’s a large ‘Co-op’ at the entrance to the development which is easily the size of small supermarket and can provide enough food and variety for a weekly shop on arrival. Inside, Chuffing cottage is much more spacious and attractive than the pictures on the site suggest, and the double height living area offers a lovely place to relax and watch tv. The property was warm, had plenty of storage space and also many towels etc available in the bathroom. We took advantage of a visit to the nearby Bronte Parsonage which is a lovely place to experience for those who have an interest in literature or history. We also went for a journey on the ‘Elf Express’ KWVR steam train and were joined by our family who live locally - for what turned out to be a fabulous Christmas treat! Overall the cottage was a fabulous base to visit our Yorkshire relatives and explore beautiful Haworth, and we hope to return again soon!

  A delightful modern and cosy 2bedroomed accommodation.

  The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need for a pleasant stay. The property is exceptionally clean bright and airy. Although currently busy with building works during the day it is quiet and peaceful in the evening and night times. It is well situated to explore lots of interesting places in the local area and nearby Yorkshire Moors and Dales. The passing steam trains and babbling brook to the rear of the property adds to its charm. We were greatly impressed by the owner’s flexibility as we needed to change the dates of our stay at short notice and they accommodated our request without issue. A useful suggestion would be to have a separate information folder about local attractions and information etc A visitors book would also be beneficial to read and record comments and recommendations. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property to our relatives and friends.

  A little difficult to find.

  Your satnav will take you into a cul-de-sac. Follow the instructions you've been sent to the letter. The apartment is clean and comfortable. Heating is perfect: the thermostat is very efficient. Powerful shower. The bed is firm and comfortable will cool, crisp bed linen. The kitchen is well-equipped. A few gripes which slightly impaired my stay. There is no Sky TV as advertised. Apart from the first freeview channels reception is wobbly and for the last two days the set would not switch on at all. W-fi is intermittent. I had to use my phone as a hotspot and therefore ad to pay for data use. The oven doesn't work. The control knob came off in my hand and inside there were a pair of dirty baking trays. There were only three coathangers. The owner has very limited English so complaining would ave been no use.

  Well positioned just outside of the main centre of Haworth.

  Less than 5 mins walk to the KWVR - steam trains (which run along behind the house). 5-10 mins walk to local takeaways: Chinese, Indian, pizza, fish and chips. And only 10 mins walk into the main cobbled streets of Haworth and the Parsonage - through the park if desired! See Victorian times come to life with back to back housing, mills etc House is well equipped with everything you would need on a holiday. Comfortable bed. Added bonus of the babbling beck at the back which can be heard with windows open and the welcome visit of a Heron! Must sees: Brontë Parsonage; Steam trains - Oakworth - where The Railway Children filmed; Shibden Hall; Hebden Bridge (great to go on the bus - TransdevGo app brilliant!); walk from Oakworth starion to Haworth also good. And the Moors.

  We booked all 3 properties together for a getaway with friends and had the best stay on Grimwith Reservoir.

  The properties themselves were spotless on arrival, and exactly as described on the listing. Jerry was very helpful and always on hand if we had any questions or wanted advice, and also got the hot tubs nice and hot for our arrival. We had everything we needed already there meaning we only had to bring clothes, food and drink, and the welcome hamper was also a nice touch. The location itself is amazing with a nice walking route around the reservoir and also longer routes to nearby villages where we found some great local pubs, shops and takeaways. This is my second time visiting this property and definitely won’t be the last. It really does cater for all and cannot recommend it enough!
