  It’s like stepping back in time at Greenfield Cottage!

  This lovely & cosy ‘chocolate box’ cottage in the heart of the Yorkshire is a must if you’ve never visited these parts before. Everything you could possibly wish for is provided by Alison Scott & family. There’s lots of little personal touches, welcome package including scones, coffee tea etc, milk & prosecco. Freshly cut flowers Plenty of info for trips out, board games to play in front of wood burning fire (sadly not required for our august stay!) 3D tv for cinema nights. Our kids loved their own floor of the house (attic) equipped with gaming stations, books & toys. The beds are so comfy & the waterfall shower was bliss! Plenty of places to visit in the area. Our favourites included Ilkley, Holden Park, Cliff Castle & Museum & of course the historical Haworth & Bronte Parsonage which is a short enjoyable walk away from Oakworth, the views are amazing. We managed a couple of times to walk via Tim Lane & up the steep incline to Howarth but opted for taxis back via Bronte Taxis £4.50 back to the cottage - well worth it. Oakworth KWVR is also another ‘must do’ to view the beautiful steam engines where ‘The Railway Children’ was filmed. At the station is a lovely little ‘tea hut’ that sells fabulous ice cream. Our plan was to have a lovely relaxing break & that’s just what we got we were sorry to leave!!! Highly recommend.

  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

  The cottage was amazing.

  Just the right size for a group of five people. The front room with a log burner was just lovely to sit in in the evening. The kitchen table was great to sit around for breakfast in the morning and playing some games. It had everything we needed and more. It was really clean. It was a really lovely touch to have some bread, milk, eggs, wine and logs there for us. The location is beautiful. We loved that we could walk our little dog in the morning over the fields nearby. It’s not far to Brontë country. You can visit the parsonage where the Brontë sisters lived and the church their father was parson at nearby. This was the high light for me. We drove through the Misty moors to get to it. The Hare and Hound local pub which is a short walk from the cottage was a lovely place to go for drinks and food. The staff were so friendly. We had a great stay and will definitely love to come back in the future.

  Orchard Cottage is set in the lovely quiet village of Lothersdale.

  It was spotless and welcomed us warmly on a chilly November evening. We were greeted with a lovely welcome pack, eggs, wine, bread, milk etc, a very kind thought. There were only three of us sharing, with a potential for 6 guests. The twin room upstairs with convenient, fully featured bathroom was ideal for my elderly father in law, and adjacent to the upstairs lounge. The locals were so welcoming and enjoyed a chat. The nearby Hare and Hounds was ideal, quiet weekdays, busy weekends, with excellent food and banter. Owner Louise responded quickly to all our queries. The location is a good base for lots of attractions and countryside. The cottage had plenty of space. My only suggestion is that the downstairs en suite would benefit from a couple of simple (floating) shelves above the loo as there is nowhere to store toiletries when showering/shaving etc. Thoroughly enjoyed our break.

  Such a lovely little cottage, ideal for either families, couples or, in our case, three women of "a certain age" with our dogs.

  Louise the owner had left us a loaf, eggs, milk, delicious cookies and a bottle of wine. Everything you will need is in the drawers and cupboards so, no need to take anything with you. The only problem we had was we didn't realise that the thermostat for the radiators was upstairs in the corner of the sitting room whereas all other controls were in the kitchen but, a quick phone call to Louise soon sorted that out. The pub next door serves delicious meals but, best to book as it's very deservedly popular. Also, keep a close eye on your dogs when you're with them in the yard; ours soon discovered that, if they went up the steps and behind the carport, they could escape; plus my dog was able to just step through the gates even when they were closed. All of us had a lovely weekend here and hope to return again before too long. Thank you for a wonderful stay Louise
