The children enjoyed the Roald Dahl book collection and the views were stunning. Lovely shower with plenty of hot water when needed and kitchen is well equipped and lovely comfie beds in all rooms. Very friendly neighbours and helpful housekeeping team locally when needed. Great location for walks and visiting local attractions with a lovely peaceful sanctuary to relax when home. Path to house is steep but well lit and maintained. Thank you.

The rooms are large & spotlessly clean . The views from the cottage are amazing . On that subject the cottage is high up and there are a lot of steps to get there . We found it challenging at times being older , also the rough road leading to the cottage . Younger people probably wouldnât find it difficult . Also the gate at the back of garden leading to Haworth seemed impossible to get through as it was overgrown .What would be useful is instructions , particularly the television. We had to sign into get programmes . Never the less we had a lovely holiday , Haworth is very easy to get to . Keighley is quite a big town convenient for shopping and Ilkley is delightful .
