"Lovely cottage, very clean and comfortable with beautiful furnishings and great collection of books and CDs!"
Had a lovely stay.

"Everything was spot on."
..owners friendly but in no way obtrusive...everything you needed was supplied quiet and comfortable...would return in a heartbeat....just one little niggle to consider..the fridge was huge..as there were just the 2 of us we used about 2 shelves in total!!..therefore as fridge on the whole was nearly empty it made quite a noise and as the property is open plan this impacted on the volume on the television and the general feeling of relaxation..you could even hear it in the bedroom with the door shut!!...now this would not stop me returning but as the property sleeps a max of 4 people the fridge does not need to be that big!!..considering you had a separate freezer unit that we did not use.( just to make ice cubes!! )..a smaller fridge freezer combined would be spot on...i only mention it because the peace and tranquillity of the holiday home is fabulous otherwise

"The bungalow was one of the most cleanest we've ever stayed in,very comfortable with very unique furnishings and finishing touches,David was very welcoming and friendly,on hand if needed but didn't intrude."
Disappointed with lack of open views hence 4 stars but we enjoyed our stay surrounded by nature and the area very scenic with far reaching views.

"A fantastic cottage in a stunning location!"
Surrounded by the beautiful moors, the cottage is the perfect location to explore the windswept Bronte Country. The local wildlife kept us entertained (even spotting an owl hunting right from the window) and the local pub provided tasty meals. The cottage itself was spacious and clean and equipped with everything we needed for a wonderful few days. Definitely recommend!

"We had lovely stay at Scar Top, access was slightly more difficult than expected, it did say in the description that access was down a farm track, but was harder than we thought, the owner was brilliant at explaining everything and how it worked, and there are some very nice touches that have given us ideas for our own redecoration."
Over all beautiful cottage in a fantastic location with helpful but unobtrusive owners, 5*+.

"Had a fantastic stay for a week in May 2024, David was super helpful."
The cottage had everything needed to make our stay relaxing. The only let down was the weather not being as warm as we would have liked, but that’s the one thing that the owners can’t guarantee. I unfortunately left a couple of items of clothing & David very kindly parcelled them up & returned them to me, at a much less cost than I expected.

"A beautifully turned out cottage with all the facilities you need, in a lovely rural setting."
The owner was very friendly and helpful and is only 50 yards away should you have any problems. Although the weather wasn’t very good during our stay we enjoyed watching the birds including ducks and a barn owl and the rabbits chasing pheasants around in the adjoining field. A very comfortable and warm bungalow and we would definitely stay there again should we want to revisit that area.

"Although very well equipped a couple of things to note."
No cheese grater, only one bin which was in the kitchen, so any bathroom waste had to be put in that bin. Also the non stick saucepans are not useable inasmuch as bits of the coating have come off and rust has developed. Luckily the two stainless steel saucepans were good as was the frying pan. Lovely big refrigerator and a fair sized counter top freezer. We enjoyed our stay.
Glad you enjoyed your stay. Apologies re the pans which we have thrown out......must have been burnt by previous customer and we had not noticed. However, all of your issues could have been sorted out by having a word with me when you were staying. We live next door and I always say to customers to knock on the door or phone if they have any problems. A bin for the bathroom and a cheese grater would have been provided for you. Property Owner

About the location
HAWORTH
Skipton 13 miles; Hebden Bridge 8 miles.
Oakworth is a small Pennine village just a short drive from Haworth, overlooking the Worth Valley, made famous by the filming of the classic 1970 film version of E.E. Nesbitt's novel, The Railway Children. Besides its close proximity to Haworth and the moors, Oakworth has an attractive ornamental park, and is within easy reach of the town of Keighley. Nearby Haworth was home to the famous Bronte sisters, who were much-inspired by the surrounding moorland. Haworth has a myriad of curiosity and antique shops, alleyways and cobbled streets creating a wonderful period atmosphere, and all this against a backdrop of countryside famously described in the novel Wuthering Heights. Nearby, the famous Worth Valley Railway, an authentic steam railway brought to prominence in the film The Railway Children, makes a lovely day out, with a regular service to the old village of Oxenhope. The area is full of popular places to visit, including the Bronte Parsonage Museum, East Riddlesden Hall, and the Museum of Rail. The market town of Skipton, Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, is just a short drive away, and also within reach are elegant Harrogate, and vibrant Leeds and Manchester.
