About this property

Beautifully decorated and stone-built, The Thyme House is a semi-detached Victorian townhouse lying in the village of Haworth, renowned for its historic cobbled Main Street, iconic parsonage and rolling moors. Set against a backdrop of stunning scenery, opposite the bleak and beautiful Moors, this cottage provides a perfect blend of contemporary and luxury furnishings with original period features and is ideal for families. Offering walks in every direction, with Penistone Hill adjacent, this spacious Haworth holiday home is a perfect destination for a get together with family. Set over three floors with exceptional views from the rear of the property, this townhouse has five beautiful bedrooms, four of which are en-suite, and one with access to a lovely shower room. The interior comprises of a wonderful lounge with modern sofas, a wall-mounted TV, and windows which fill the room with natural lighting. Two kitchens complement each other in style; one boasts a traditional feel, whilst the second is elevated by a light, airy overtone with cream coloured units. As the sun sets, the dining room is the perfect opportunity to spend some quality time with your loved ones whilst you take in the breath-taking views. The attractive garden terrace is situated on two levels and makes a relaxing base to unwind after a day exploring the village and beyond. Haworth is famous for public footpaths in and around the village and some of the most popular walks are around the reservoirs and the Bronte Falls. Walk along Bronte Way visiting the Bronte Bridge, leading out onto the bleak moors where you can visit Top Withins. Walking down the quaint cobbled main street, browsing through individual shops, pubs and tea rooms, you will eventually come to the Keighley and Worth Valley Steam Railway, made famous by the film The Railway Children. Skipton is nearby with its delightful castle, and further afield is the Victorian spa town of Harrogate, boasting fabulous shops, and an excellent theatre. The Thyme House is a wonderful holiday cottage with fantastic restaurants and pubs within walking distance, making it perfect for a family or set of friends to build some everlasting memories together.

Haworth is a village that time almost forgot, with its myriad of curiosity and antique shops, alleyways and cobbled streets creating a wonderful period atmosphere, all set against a backdrop of countryside famously described in the novel Wuthering Heights as wild, rugged and barren. Nearby is the the famous Worth Valley Railway, Bronte Parsonage Museum, East Riddlesden Hall, and the National Railway Museum. The market town of Skipton, often regarded as the Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, is just a short drive away.

    Richard, the property manager, was amazing!

  • Annette

    Plenty of space for 10 people over 3 floors - all rooms with bathrooms which is an extra bonus. Rooms themed with bold colours of curtains / walls - but artistically. Oldish house but with character. Kitchens (2) had everything we needed. Great for meeting up with various friends and enjoyed walks and outings in the vicinity. Plenty to see and do in the area - lots of hills though!

  • Susan

Never used the car as great walks from the door . Such comfortable beds so brilliant sleep every night . Thank you for the memories . Would love to return
