  This was our first proper winter and Christmas Break away from Kent.

  And I am delighted to report that our stay at NI Cottage was wonderful. And we would stay again. For our needs it was perfect. Despite howling winds and snow dusting the surrounding countryside. We stayed effortlessly warm and snug in the cosy enclave of this cottage. The walls being constructed of stone and 2 feet thick and double glazing all around. You could not hear the howling wind. All facilities for a home from home experience were in place, cosy and characterful in this listed property. The location is perfectly placed in the hills outside of the picturesque villages of Haworth (15 min walk) and Oxenhope. With excellent choices of watering holes and restaurants. And within earshot and view of the local Heritage Steam Railway. Which was very busy with Elf and Santa Express excursions. To hear the iconic sounds and sights of a Steam Train chugging and puffing it's way through the valley was a delightful backdrop to the peace and quiet of this location during our stay! We cannot recommend this location enough. It suited us as we like to explore and walk, and partake of the local offerings of real ale and good local food. We cannot recommend the Steam Packet Brewery in Haworth enough. To be able to then retreat to the peace and quiet of the cottage was great. The owners lived on site, next door in an enviable traditional stone historic farmhouse and were on hand to check in with us to see if everything was OK. If you are the type of people who are looking for a quiet cosy retreat. Are happy keeping your own company and don't need all the bells and whistles of a busy resort location on your doorstep. Then this is the place for you.

  Just back from a lovely mini-break with family, (2 adults, 2 children), at Duck Egg Cottage in Haworth.

  We have been to Haworth before and it's such a beautiful place to visit with so much to see and do both in Haworth itself and in the surrounding area. Plenty of places to eat and drink too though it's usually recommended to book if possible, particularly at weekends. It was our first time at Duck Egg Cottage and we were really happy and impressed with the property and would certainly look forward to a return visit in the future. The location of Duck Egg Cottage is fantastic, it was very easy to find and the parking space right outside the house is a huge bonus and very welcome. It literally is 10 or 20 metres to the cobbles of Main Street in Haworth and it's great to be able to wander either before or after the coaches have been and take in all the history. Inside, the cottage was spotless on our arrival and whilst we were only there 3 nights we found plenty of everything we could possibly need for our stay. The kitchen is really well equipped..plenty of crockery, cutlery and utensils. We didn't use the wood burner ourselves but heaters warmed the house up very quickly when needed. TV is very good as is internet coverage..sometimes useful with older boys

  I wouldn't say this was the best cottage we've stayed in but it's certainly very good.

  It was clean and comfortable. The downstairs cloakroom (WC and basin) is a good selling point and deserves to be mentioned in the listing. There were one or two omissions, but nothing show-stopping. We'd have expected spare kitchen roll, and maybe some cling film. The book of instructions for guests had details of a microwave which no longer exists (the current microwave instructions are with the microwave) but nothing about the main oven controls, which are a bit quirky. However, I Googled it and found something similar, which gave us the information needed. Previous reviews have criticised the WiFi so I was a bit apprehensive about that but I need not have been. It was better than we have at home and quite sufficient for streaming and for general use. It probably depends on what you're used to. We weren't using the third bedroom but I think the lack of storage space could be a problem. Also, some of the bedroom curtains could do with linings so that you don't wake at 5am. Overall, we had a good stay and I would recommend this cottage.

  Top shelf property.

  Everything you could ever need in a property. Decor was outstanding and we loved all the unique artwork and enjoyed the information provided to learn about artists. The goodie basket was fabulous as well as the dog treats and dog bowl. Really comfortable bed. Loved the shower and bathroom. Honestly, just a wonderful relaxing holiday retreat. Close to the pub with good food and nice people. Great Clean eating cafe right behind. Walking the dog was great right outside the door and up at the reservoir. Highly recommend. We loved every minute. Absolute treat to stay here. Great value for money for sure. And so close to Skipton where we enjoyed a nice French dinner but really all you need is at your doorstep in Embsay. Want to come back to ride the train and go on a canal cruise trip as the weather was not very nice when we were there although it was July, high winds and rainy and cool. It was okay just not great sightseeing weather.

  What a cracking place to stay.

  It really teaches you to not judge a book by its cover. The property has a large open plan kitchen dining area, which was basically where we spent our time, for the short periods we were in. I was probably being pickie marking it down one on comfort. The beds were great and we slept well. The downside was the sofas. I have spinal problems and was unable to sit on them as they were to low and to soft. Great for most people I would imagine. If you stay here your ideally situated for visiting the best that North Yorkshire has to offer. Most places are within a 10 to 20 minute drive, Malham Cove, the 3 peaks, Gaping Gill and so the list goes on. The are untold number of walks on the door step too. The pub just down the road is amazing, good beer, food and dog friendly. I can highly recommend the fish and chip shop opposite co-op in Settle to. We will definitely be returning
