"We have just returned from our week away in Haworth."
Townsend cottage has become our new favourite cottage. Very cosy, very warm, clean and comfortable. Lovely comfortable bed with a view of the church from the main bedroom. Lovely amenities throughout the cottage. We used the dishwasher once, washed up the rest of the time. Added bonus of a toilet down stairs. Amazing shower! You are a 2 minute walk from Main Street and all the Brontë activities in Haworth. It’s a fairly quick walk to the supermarkets through Central Park or Butts Lane. We will definitely book for next year! Thank you Sally for a wonderful holiday experience in your lovely cottage.

It had everything we needed for our stay.

"Loved Townend Cottage."
Well placed for Bronte Parsonage and Main Street as well as surrounding area. We followed the "Railway Children" sites as well as the Bronte sites - nice walk to "Wuthering Heights" et al. Enjoyed sitting in the conservatory in a morning and seeing the Wrens and Long Tailed Tits in the garden. Cottage met all our needs and modern inside.

"Quaint little cottage with lovely back garden."
Easy access to Haworth Main Street. Some furniture okay not made for comfort. Some kitchen ware adequate but needs additional updating.
-
"Perfect! Beautifully decorated, Spotless throughout, well equipped."
Comfy beds, we miss the shower! Added bonus was the location, close to all amenities and attractions. Lovely garden, allocated parking. Certainly dog friendly! The local park is beautiful and surrounding areas to walk on the moors. The owner had left a very informative folder and leaflets for local takeaways and places to visit. Lovely lady! Easy to contact if you have any questions. Haworth is my favourite place to stay, we normally do B and B, never again after having such a wonderful place to stay, the cottage made our holiday extra special. Would highly recommend

"Everything was lovely."
Very well equipped kitchen. Spotlessly clean. The location was perfect: a parking space right outside, very short walk into the main street, centrally located for visiting other areas. We only stayed for a few days but could have comfortably stayed longer and had all we would have needed in the cottage.
-
"Very central location in Haworth with off street parking and enclosed garden, ideal for couple or family of 3 with dog."

"Spotlessly clean, loved the quirky decor and feel of the 50s."
The location was brilliant with no steep hills and a short stroll to Main Street. Our dog enjoyed the large garden that was very secure, would definitely come back again. Thanks Sally for prompt text for key code, great customer service. Haworth was well worth the visit and the sun came out too.

"Cottage was lovely beds comfy what let it down for us was the settee and chairs ..."
Cottage was lovely beds comfy what let it down for us was the settee and chairs we are both retirees the settee was way to low and uncomfortable for us and 2 odd chairs look as though they've been there foe years but having said that we enjoyed our stay
-

"Townend Cottage was clean, comfortable and well equipped."
Just the right size for a couple and a dog and has a good size safe secure garden. The off road parking was a real bonus. Situated a few minutes walk from the main street with all it's shops, pubs and restaurants. Also for the more energetic you can walk from the door step to Penistone Hill Country Park and the Bronte Waterfalls. I would definitely recommend Townend Cotrage.
-
"What an amazing cottage we have had the most relaxing week!"
There is everything you need in the cottage it was very clean and comfortable, the enclosed garden was a real bonus. The area is beautiful we did not have to use the car all week, great pubs and fantastic walks, can highly recommend the Hawthorn for a meal.
-
"Beautifully decorated property, comfy, a home from home with everything you could need provided."
Enclosed garden which was good for the dog to ramble around in and parking. In a great location, central for walks, accessing the town and not far to drive to anywhere. A welcome pack would have been nice - even if it was some milk and bread but would we return - YES!
-

"Perfect location for visiting Howarth as very short walk through to bars, cafe and shops."
Also the moors are close by for longer walks and plenty of public footpaths to explore, such that we didn't use our car. Cottage is well equipped, with everything at hand, and heating, if needed, is all easy to operate. Everything was clean and we would certainly recommend this as a place to stay if visiting Haworth.
-
"Townsend Cottage was perfect for our trip to Yorkshire."
Cottage was clean tidy and well equipped, very comfy beds and kitchen has well set up and organised. Garden was a good size, it is steep down the steps and a couple of loose flags but nicely tiered so it was nice having breakfast outside in the morning. Close enough to shops and park so lots to do.
-
"The cottage was really good."
On a side note maybe a welcome pack would be appreciated
-

-
"Great cottage, well equipped and comfortable, great base and very good location for a walk down main street, which is great if a bit of a steep climb from the bottom."
The WiFi works well,which is a bonus, the only thing that spoilt things was the weather, but would definitely book again.
Thank for your kind words, if you book again we will definitely arrange sunshine!! Property Owner

Very convenient for the Bronte Parsonage Museum and walking beyond to the Bronte Waterfalls and Top Withens. There's a handy parking space at the front of the cottage, which makes loading and unloading bags very easy. Ideal for singles, couples or a small family.

Spotlessly clean and all the furnishings were so nice, comfy and good quality, very tasteful too. Loved all the little quirks and pictures. Kitchen was well equipped. I could have moved in forever :). Great location for surrounding Pubs and Restaurants. I would definitely recommend the cottage and would stay again.
Thanks for your kind comments, we appreciate the feedback. Property Owner

"Just returned from a lovely stay at Townend Cottage."
The cottage was very comfy and clean. Had everything you need for a lovely stay. The Conservatory was a lovely sun trap catching the February sunshine. The cottage is in the perfect spot lots of walks on the doorstep and all the restaurants and cafes are just a minutes walk. It’s also nice to have the parking space for if you do use your car. Lovely stay and we shall definitely be returning.
-
"A beautifully presented, warm and comfortable cottage with everything we needed for a lovely stay, and in a perfect location, within easy walking distance of Haworth’s shops, pubs and restaurants."
Lovely walks nearby and in Wycoller Park. Excellent communication from Owners. We will definitely be returning. Couldn’t have had a nicer stay.
-
"Great location with good parking, cottage was lovely and clean and warm."
Everything that we required was supplied, handy downstairs loo. Only downside were the steep steps leading down to the garden, they were too steep for our little dogs, also due to the weather quite slippy. But overall a very enjoyable stay, we would stay again, the area is lovely. My wife enjoyed playing her Ukulele with the local Ukulele group, (HUG) Very friendly people.
-
"Townend Cottage is absolutely delightful, in an amazing location and incredibly well equipped."
We will definitely be looking to return at some point.
-
"What a fab little cottage!"
Comfy, cosy and retro styling made for a lovely week. Haworth is one of our favourite places for time away and the private parking at this cottage was a bonus. Very quiet at night but only a couple of minute’s walk to the Main Street with pubs and restaurants. We would have made use of the garden if we had visited in warmer weather.
-
"This was a sweet little house - perfect for my friend and I and our two active pooches."
It’s very easy to keep clean and has a nice little enclosed garden. The main charm is its location - turn down the hill and you have shops and very dog friendly cafes, a few nice parks and some easy footpath walks. Turn up the hill and you have some lovely moor walks up Penistone Hill and along to the Brontë Falls. We had a lovely stay and are grateful to our hosts for sharing their little house.
-
"A lovely cosy cottage very well situated for shops and eateries."
The cottage is clean and has lovely decor. It is well furnished and the bedrooms are very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped. Very pleasant sitting in the small sun room at the rear of the cottage. Lovely places to visit within a reasonable distance - Shibden hall, The Piece Hall in Halifax and Hardcastle Crags. Great walk up to the Bronte Falls, about 2.5 miles each way. Haworth itself is pretty with some attractive shops. A stay at this cottage can be thoroughly recommended.
-
"We had a fabulous week in Haworth, the cottage was warm and cosy we enjoyed sitting in the sunny porch and the garden was safe for our dogs."
Extremely comfortable bed and a good size.Good shower with plenty of hot water. Make sure you don't hit your head coming down the bottom stairs.The cottage is close to all shops and pubs and the fish and chips are delicious, not to be missed.would love to come back.
-
"Lovely cottage very clean and comfortable had everything you needed sitting area ..."
Lovely cottage very clean and comfortable had everything you needed sitting area outside was lovely five minute walk into Haworth
-
"The property was well presented, clean and comfortable."
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there it was well placed for shops, restaurants and public transport. We would certainly recommend the property as a place to stay. The only considerations were possibly a non-slip mat in the shower area and extra towels if required but these are minor items. A very enjoyable stay.
WWE now have a shower mat ,thanks for your feedback. Property Owner
-
"Sally who contacted me was very friendly and the cottage itself was really comfortable."
I nearly took the beds home they were so comfortable
-
"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Townend Cottage."
The property was spacious and clean and was in a ideal location for a short walk into the town centre. The bed was comfortable and the shower was very powerful. With the weather being so good during our stay, it was a bonus to have the garden to sit out in to soak up the sun. The only improvements we would suggest would be to have a lawn in the back garden, rather than all of the plants, which were quite overgrown, and there was also a shortage of some crockery, such as large bowls and larger drinking glasses. Having said that, this in no way reduced our enjoyment of our stay and we’d definitely recommend Townend Cottage to anyone looking for a property in Howarth.
-
"Fabulous! Enjoyed every minute of our stay."
Very comfortable, clean cottage with a quirkiness to it. Brilliant enclosed garden and off road parking a bonus. Would definitely recommend this cottage and the beautiful town of Haworth

"Very comfortable cottage ideally placed for scenic Haworth."
Private parking a bonus. Lovely walks from door over moors, Bronte waterfalls, and reservoir. Plenty of pubs to choose from within a few mins walk.

Excellent.
-
"This is a lovely comfortable and warm cottage."
It was spotless and is well equipped. The location is ideal for the village/ main street and also the walks over penistone hill are close by. Having off street parking and directly outside the house is really helpful. It has a lovely garden and nice views. I would definitely recommend staying here.
-
"The property is quite reasonable it has a very steep stairway to bedroom and shower roomand the out side stairs to the gardenare very steep the reason for only 3 stars is the location of the cottage it is at the top of a very steep hill as is most of the village so you have to be fairly fit."
-
"We had a lovely stay in your cottage."
It was warm & cozy and was well stocked with the essentials. The conservatory and garden would have been lovely to use in dry weather. The location was great with it being so close to the main street and the parking space really useful. Thankyou for your message with directions and lovely welcome.
-
"Beautiful little cottage."
Fab location, nice and comfortable stay. Will be returning
-
"We decided on a relatively last minute break, after searching we found this little gem."
Selling point for us were onsite parking and close proximity to shops/pubs! Well this property ticks all the boxes. It’s perfectly situated just a short, 5 minute, walk from the prettiest street, which has several eateries and cute little shops. The house has everything you could ask for, well equipped with everything you could possibly need. It was spotlessly clean and very well presented. Would most definitely book again
-
"We all enjoyed staying in the cottage, warm and comfortable and a short walk from Haworth."
-
"Just arrived back from a wonderful stay at Townend cottage and it did not disappoint."
Perfectly situated at the top of the hill in Haworth with under 5 minutes walk to shops, cafes and pubs. The cottage was beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean and had everything you'd want for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We couldn't get the gas fire to work so a call to the owner and they came and sorted the issue in 10 minutes from calling them. We were very lucky with the weather and sat outside in the sunny garden after our walks, only issue we could see with the garden is our dog could get through the bushes into the neighbours garden so we had to keep him on a long training lead. Other than that this cottage is perfect and we would have no hesitation at all in returning.
-

. really enjoyed our stay at Townend Cottage. Thank you

Nice feel to the cottage and the garden with sitting area was a great bonus to enjoy the last of the days sun. Definitely recommend this place.
-
"In spite of the weather we really enjoyed our week in Haworth."
The cottage was lovely and very comfortable. My husband’s only gripe was no shaving mirror in the bathroom
-
"We found the cottage spacious and so near to the village."
Just a short walk away and the off street parking was a bonus. The kitchen had all that was needed for just a week but there was a lack of kitchen utensils. The garden had two nice sitting out areas but the decaying hedge was a bit of an eyesore but we enjoyed our time at the cottage.
-
"Had a lovely week, fantastic location for exploring Haworth and surrounding area."
Cottage very clean and well kept. Nice garden with patio area only problem for us we didn't trust our dog incase she found a way out or over in to next door but other than that everything was perfect.
-
"Not having washing machine a drawback."
Also very little kitchen equipment eg serving dishes .overall however lovely house in excellent setting.
-
"Location is absolutely perfect - very close to village centre - yet has own parking and garden"
-
"Very cosy,warm and comfortable cottage."
Very well equipped, superbly comfy bed with a very private and sunny garden. Two minutes walk to most Haworth amenities and lovely walking from the doorstep. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return again. James.
-
"We had a lovely stay in a beautiful cottage, very clean and so close to the village we would definitely recommend staying there , the only thing we would mention although the garden is enclosed we were a bit worried that our little dog might escape through the trees as he was a rescue and does try to find the smallest gap but apart from that we were very happy!"

There is a convenient under stairs storage room for additional belongings, as well as a cloakroom with basin and WC.
For a moment of tranquility, sit in the sunroom with a good book and enjoy the views of Hawoth and the moors from the large window, while the door leads out to the large multi-level garden, accessed down a set of stairs, where you will find a patio area and seating, perfect for a morning coffee or alfresco lunch admiring your surroundings.
When it's time to get some rest, head up the carpeted staircase to find two charming bedrooms; a king-size double with zip/link feature and a window seat to make the most of the impressive views, as well as a spacious single room, both with ample wardrobe and storage space, Smart TVs and served by the family shower room, where you can end the day with a refreshing rinse in the large walk-in shower.
Haworth village centre is a short stroll away and offers an incredible array of antique shops and galleries to browse, as well as mysterious cobbled streets to explore and a plethora of cafes, pubs, and eateries to tempt you, in this delightful Pennine village, you'll feel you have stepped back in time.
The village backdrop consists of incredible moorland that inspired some of the Brontë sisters' finest literature, and is accurately described in Wuthering Heights as being wild, rugged and barren.
Visit the Brontë sisters' family home, now the Brontë Parsonage Museum, to learn more about the lives of these incredible novelists, before heading to the aptly named Wuthering Heights pub in the village of Stanbury for a refreshing afternoon beverage.
Stroll around nearby Central Park, or head slightly further afield to discover Penistone Hill Country Park, where you will find Brontë Bridge and the stunning Brontë Waterfall.
For a day out filled with adventure, head to the market town of Keighley, home to the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway, which featured in the film The Railway Children, where you can hop on a steam train and enjoy the incredible moorland views from your window.
Also worth exploring in Keighley is Cliffe Castle and its extensive grounds, the National Trust's East Riddlesden Hall, several parks and and a bus museum, where you can see more than 100 single and double-decker buses.
Those who enjoy an adventure can climb the peak of Ilkley Moor, part of a conservation area offering incredible views, opportunities to see wildlife and multiple walking trails.
Spend time exploring Skipton, known as the gateway to the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and home to a 12th century castle, weekly market and extensive selection of pubs, restaurants and shopping facilities.
The bustling cities of Leeds and Bradford are within easy reach, as is the natural splendour of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Townend Cottage is a well-placed property for exploring Haworth and the surrounding countryside.
About the location
HAWORTH
Skipton 13 miles; Hebden Bridge 8 miles.
The small village of Haworth was home to the famous Bronte sisters, who were inspired by the surrounding moorland to pen their novels, which have become classics of English Literature. 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 framing backdrop of countryside famously described in the novel Wuthering Heights as wild, rugged and barren. Nearby, the famous Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, an authentic steam railway brought to prominence in the film The Railway Children, provides a lovely day out with a regular service to the old village of Oxenhope. The area abounds with popular places to visit, including the Bronte Parsonage Museum, East Riddlesden Hall, and the National Railway Museum in York. The market town of Skipton, often fondly regarded as the Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, is just a short drive away, and also within reach are elegant Harrogate and vibrant Leeds and Manchester.
