• "The Property advertises an electric charging point which it does have but it should state that this is only via a 13 amp socket it is not a type 2 Charging point so may not be suitable for all electric car owners and this was one reason why we booked the cottage as we wanted a car charging point which we wrongly assumed was a type 2."

  The property itself was in a good location and had what was required but we felt could have really stood out with some better maintenance, as we were unable to open the bathroom and upstairs bedroom windows, previous comments in the visitors book mentioned this also so would assume that the owners would have taken this on board and had them fixed but clearly this was not the case. Also a dead Christmas tree was in the front garden presume from Christmas 2023 not something you would expect to still see there in mid October the following year. When we arrived the wall clock was not working so put a new battery in it and the standard lamp in the lounge area would not work as there was no bulb in it so we put a bulb in it. We did feel that when we left the cottage it was cleaner than when we arrived, with the exception of the oven which we were definitely not tackling but needed attention. Also some decoration was required as there were wide cracks from the bottom of the stairs to the top which had certainly not appeared overnight. It would also help if photos of the sitting area were on the website as we had no idea what to expect. It was good to watch the steam trains which run at the back of the property on a weekend and the wildlife that visited the stream at the back. The Co-op store and Spar shops are very close by and you are within easy reach of Hebden Bridge, Salts Mill, Skipton with many good walking areas.

• "Enjoyed staying at Chuffing Cottage."

  Absolutely loved the steam trains passing by so close. Comfortable beds and lounge seating was great. Could have done with more dishes for veg/salad in the kitchen and if only there was a downstairs shower it would have made life soooo much easier but we had a lovely stay. A great little holiday cottage.

• "A lovely house."

  Amazing vaulted ceiling made it feel big. Quiet, with a babbling beck and an interesting railway.The house was well equipped and you needed nothing as everything was there for you. Peaceful sleep, oh yes. Visit the shops and your by train or bus as the countryside is picturesque. A great holiday. We will return next spring. Thanks to the owners of Chuffing Cottage for a lovely holiday. Oh that beck is so relaxing We witnessed the railway company put in place a new bridge..... what a highlight. Lovely town with lots of lovely food

• "Absolutely lovely place, modern decor, clean,light and airy."

  LOVED the trains at the bottom of the garden and we had an added bonus of a pair of kingfishers also visiting every day. Chuffing Cottage is in a great location but do be prepared to work those leg muscles walking up to the delightful main street in Haworth...! Would definitely recommend this property. thanks :)

  With welcoming goodies. And is a lovely clean and warm place to come back to after exploring the local area. Loved the steam train outside the cottage. Well positioned for Haworth village centre and great walks from the front door. Lovely pubs and shops a short walk away. We also enjoyed Hardcastle Crag and Hebden Bridge. And the Salt Mill. Brontë waterfall walk, the moors and so much more. Would highly recommend.

• "Lovely clean, modern cottage close to the supermarkets in Haworth."

  Beds comfortable. Parking right outside the property is a bonus. It’s a climb up to the main village but a detour through the park helps make the climb easier. Welcome pack was a real bonus, but there are no complimentary toiletries in the bathroom. (Shower gel, shampoo, conditioner)

• "It was a lovely cottage, very light and airy, very well equipped, and so close to the stream railway."

  The welcome pack was a lovely surprise. It is ideally situated within walking distance of the railway and main street, although we needed to drive being disabled, so the downstairs bedroom and wc were ideal. The owner was very helpful when we contacted her. There are lots of takeaways who will deliver and places to eat nearby. We will definitely book again.

• "We had a fabulous week in this lovely cottage."

  It was very comfortable and well equipped and the welcome pack was greatly appreciated. The parking spaces were one of the reasons we booked this cottage.The steam trains were exciting especially a tour of the railway shed including the Flying Scotsman. The cottage is close to a supermarket and the village which has plenty of places to eat and drink. We would thoroughly recommend staying here and would love to return sometime in the future.

• "Really beautiful and clean property in a great location in Haworth."

  The heritage railway going passed the back of the house really did make it for us and if you are a train fan then this place really is for you. There are lots of hills to tackle to get up to the Brontë Parsonage and Main Street but also plenty of car parks around the top which are reasonably priced and there is a taxi firm on the housing development the house is situated on if you wanted to taxi up and walk back down. All in all, a fantastic stay and wonderful accommodation!

• "We all enjoyed our stay in Chuffing Cottage immensely."

  It is beautifully kept and very comfortable with all the amenities and equipment one could wish for including close-up views of the most fantastic steam locomotives. The electric car charging point was a real boon (standard 3kW 3 pin plug gave sufficient overnight charge for a day's touring). I would definitely recommend Chuffing Cottage to anyone wishing to explore the Yorkshire Dales and may well make a return visit.

• "A great base for exploring Haworth and beyond."

  We loved watching the steam trains going up and down the line. The property had everything we needed (apart from a snow shovel). We arrived a day later than planned due to the amber weather warning for snow but had a great week after that. We look forward to returning in the future.

  Lovely cottage layout. Steam train right outside window! Bliss. We loved our stay. If we come back to Haworth will book again. Parking right outside was great. Most of the cottages in Haworth are right on the road and no parking available right outside. The welcome pack was a well recieved surprise! And the beautiful aroma from the clean bedding when I opened the bedroom door was just bliss! Well done on a perfect holiday let.

• "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 had a wonderful holiday in this lovely cottage."

  We were lucky to have booked it for the weekend they had the 1940s event. We loved the fact the train was right at the back and enjoyed waving to the passengers over the weekend. There was a beautiful walk alongside the beck to Oxenhope Station and we caught the B3 bus to Hebden Bridge, crossing the Moors. We were sad that we had to leave two days early, as we missed seeing the Bronte Parsonage and riding on the train. Besides that it was a perfect holiday.

• "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!

  It is ideally situated to explore the beautiful Yorkshire dales. The cottage was very well equipped with everything we needed and it was a bonus having the electric charger for our car. We appreciated the provisions left for us on our arrival and found the steam trains on the weekend an enjoyable sight. The only negative was I think we may have misunderstood the info re provision of towels. There were only two guest towels and two small hand towels provided in main bathroom and one hand towel in the downstairs loo. This however did not detract from us having a wonderful stay and I would definitely return and recommend to others.

  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.

  It was all clean and shiny, the kitchen was well equipped, the WiFi worked, there were plenty of towels. We liked seeing steam trains going past behind the house. I will say that the towel rail in the bathroom was a bit too small to hold more than one large towel so if four people were showering and hanging up wet towels there wouldn’t be space.

  It is modern living in a very comfortable environment. It is very bright & clean and has all the facilities one may need. The owner provides a generous 'welcome package' which is much appreciated. The cottage is ideally situated for visiting many interesting places in 'Bronte Country' and for taking a nostalgic trip on a preserved steam railway where, incidentally, the original film of the Railway Children was made. We have no hesitation in highly recommending Chuffing Cottage and will certainly visit again.
