"Cottage was lovely like home from home."
Everything you needed and more. The owners were warm and friendly. Loved feeding the chickens daily. Would definitely go again. Yorkshire was great as always

"A beautiful, very comfortable cottage set in a peaceful location."
-
"Lovely cottage and peaceful location."
Cottage well equipped and very clean with excellent facilities (and welcome basket!). Only a short, scenic walk away from Haworth village in one direction and a fantastic pub (Dog and Gun) in the other.
-
"We had a lovely 3 night stay at Bull Hill Cottage."
The cottage is in a picturesque setting with the owners chickens wandering around. The cottage is well equipped with a quirky layout. The welcome pack left by the owners was ideal. A lovely personal touch from the owners was the cake and card for my 40th birthday which I celebrated during our stay.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our week’s stay in Bull Hill cottage."
A lovely peaceful location with a warm welcome from the hosts. Bull Hill cottage is excellently situated to explore the local area - Howarth and the Brontë Museum are very close and Salts Mill gallery only a short drive away. There are many walks but the inclement weather and time prevented us from exploring them. A lovely place to return to. Thank you!

Lovely cottage And lovely owners, left me a birthday card and bottle of wine to start my 40th birthday celebrations Cosy, comfortable, warm and exactly what we wanted

"We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cottage, would recommend to others ,only downside ,the two lanes leading up to the cottage are really hazardous, very uneven ,we struggled to get the car up and down ."
We had to park the car up near the factory top of the lane ,would recommend the lane to made level either side with either concrete or tarmac then nobody's car will get damaged underneath, apart from that ,it's a beautiful place ,very cosy ,quiet and peaceful.

"This was the second time we have visited this lovely property."
The first time our car died but we had a relaxing time and felt a bit like locals relying on the local transportation. Our second visit was equally as good. The cottage is well equipped and on arrival we were once again met with much appreciated supplies...bread, milk, orange juice and fresh eggs from the roaming, friendly chickens! The chocolate on each bed was a nice touch. The owners obviously want you to enjoy your stay and are not at all intrusive. They even posted our daughter's blouse that she left there. With a new car we were able to visit the places we missed last time such as, Harrogate, Ilkley moor and Settle. Yorkshire has wonderful countryside! Once again a lovely time was had, in a lovely location and wonderful accommodation

"I have stayed at Bull Hill Cottage 3 times and I can honestly say the property is out of this world."

"A brighter light in the living room would be good as I found it difficult to read with the lighting which is there."
-
"The property was perfect for us as a holiday cottage to come back to after a day out."
Comfortable, functional, clean and had everything we needed. The surroundings were tranquil with trees, greenery, babbling brook, chickens rooting around and a cat to keep us entertained (not belonging to the property, I hasten to add) We liked the fact that it was near the essentials eg Co-Op but was off-road down a private lane. We would come here again if we had the chance
-
"Being somewhat elderly I found the stairs quite steep especially in the night when having to use the bathroom which is on the ground floor."
Due to the amount of rain the lane approaching the cottage became flooded and remained muddy. It is also very uneven and extreme care is needed when driving along it. Apart from that the cottage is lovely well equipped clean and in a really peaceful setting next to the brook and the hens wandering around.
-
"Bull Hill cottage is a very clean, comfortable abode in a lovely setting off the beaten track of Oxenhope."
Hosts helpful, chatty but not intrusive and provided a lovely welcoming pack including fresh eggs from their hens. No complaints n would recommend Bull Hill. Weather was a bit grim but we did manage a couple of walks in this lovely part of Yorkshire.
-
"Very clean cottage."
Lovely quiet location. Not too far from village.
-
"A perfect holiday home for 2."
Impeccably presented throughout. Everything about the cottage was easy. Loved watching the chickens whilst sitting on the peaceful patio area. Ideally situated to enjoy walks from the door into the countryside. A couple of nice pubs in the village or the lovely village of Haworth with it's shops and pubs is an easy walk/drive/steam train ride away.
-
"Lovely cottage tucked away had a great stay"
-
"Excellent hosts."
Setting really good. Very attractive cottage. On a personal level I found the bed too soft, but I guess for other people it may be fine. Really enjoyed our stay.
-
"My third stay at this idyllic cottage, which I normally enjoy alone, but brought the husband with me this time."
The bread and eggs and milk were very welcome, and the very fresh eggs were delicious. Another perfect stay. Thank you.
-
"Lovely peaceful property set in a lovely location."
-
"Overall the property was good: the split level kitchen/diner and steps up to comfortable lounge was very pleasant; the bedrooms although small were adequate."
It was enjoyable to watch the local hens from the window every day. The owner was very helpful in helping to operate the oven and heating programmer. The real downfall was the access which was a long, narrow and very bumpy which meant we were very reluctant to go out in the evening. The village was nice with good amenities and the start of the little steam railway, plus close proximity to Haworth.
-
"This property was booked for my son and his girlfriend to stay in whilst being in the UK from Australia."
..I stopped with them a few nights also. The property,how it is managed is outstanding. The Little touches on arrival such as coffee,eggs and bread,chocolates on the beds were a lovely touch. The house is impeccable and in such a beautiful setting

"Bull Hill Cottage was the perfect getaway over the christmas period."
It was clean/comfortable/well kept and a great family space. The little touches of milk/bread/eggs on arrival and chocolates on the pillow were a really thoughtful touch and made the property more welcoming on arrival. After a really tough couple of months post losing my brother to suicide in september- this christmas was going to be a tough one all round. We were then let down by a previous property I booked so ended up booking bull hill cottage VERY last minute- simply to be in close proximity to family in yorkshire. I know its just a property but it really did save christmas for me- allowing me to cook my mum and brother xmas dinner in its beautiful kitchen diner area overlooking the chickens- and allowing a comfortable chilled out area to just relax for a few days. I wish the owners all the luck. I hope to stay again in the future. There were no negatives. Thankyou guys!

"Bull Cottage was a great place to stay."
As Yorkshire folk now living in Orkney, Bull Cottage was ideally placed for visiting family and old haunts. The interior was minimal and well done, the heating soon warmed the place up. The only tiny issue was the outside light has a really short activation period. This did create a slight issue when loading the car in the pitch black. I'll certainly use Bull Cottage again the next time I am down for a full week.
-
"2nd stay and even better than the first time."
Highly recommended and will stay again.
-
"Lovely property."
We liked the layout, little stream & the friendly roaming chickens. Helpful owners close by and very thoughtful welcome gift. Local pub is short uphill walk but only does food (pizza) on Thurs unfortunately. Great though. Only v minor improvement would be coat hooks in hall and a hall mat for shoes. Would stay again without hesitation.
-
"Wonderful stay in this idyllic cottage,it was so peaceful."
Great place to unwind,loved the cheeky chickens and cockerel.
-
"The cottage was presented perfectly, clean comfortable and with the full range of amenities expected."
The hosts were very welcoming and helped out wherever they could with recommendations and a complimentary tray of goodies to get started. Overall the stay was relaxing and very peaceful, it was just what we were looking for and very highly recommended.
-
"The owner James is super friendly and helpful."
The kitchen is well equipped, the whole place is nicely decorated.
-
"Comfortable, clean and very quiet accommodation."
Owners next door if you need any assistance. Be aware that the bath/WC and twin bedroom are on the ground floor and the double bedroom is up two short flights of stairs. As long as this suits you, highly recommended. The surrounding area has beautiful countryside and lots of industrial heritage.
-
"Everything about this cottage was first class."
It was truly faultless, and we will certainly be going back in the future!
-
"We had a fabulous week at this beautiful and well thought out cottage."
Everything we needed for a week’s self-catering holiday was present in a great kitchen. A cosy, lovely cottage that we’d highly recommend.
-
"Lovely property in a super location."
Nothing could have added to the holiday with everything needed being supplied - some really nice touches with the little extras being really appreciated - things like the cot already being made up with mattress, milk, eggs, bread all being supplied on arrival. Grayson really enjoyed being able to feed the chickens. Heating warmed the property really quickly, shower nice and powerful - really nothing I would chose that would have made the holiday any better (maybe a little less rain but can't have everything :))
-
"Ticked all the boxes!"
The cottage is outstanding, well equipped, clean, spacious and modern. In a great location too, as loads to do and see without travelling too far, for example Oxenhope station, the co-op, Haworth, bronte waterfall, Bingley five rise locks, hardcastle crags, Bolton abbey, to name a few. Would also recommend Sykes.
-
"Lovely and comfortable little cottage."
Home from home. A great location for visiting places. Would recommend and stay again. First time using Sykes as well, will use them in the future. Thank you!
-
"Great accommodation and wonderful hosts and lovely home from home in a peaceful setting."
-
"We had a fantastic time, the cottage is decorated to a really high standard and caters for everything you could want or need."
Very helpful and friendly hosts. We would definitely book again!
-
"We can’t fault this property, we would highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in this area."
The house is clean, comfortable and quiet. We had some lovely days out and would also recommend the local steam train rides.
-
"Nothing negative at all, the cottage was lovely, very clean and comfortable, the location was perfect to explore the Dales."
The owners were very nice and were obviously very proud of there holiday cottage. Would definately return for another visit one day.
-
"Property very well equipped close to the village centre."
Owners close by but not intrusive.
-
"Beautiful and very clean cottage with very friendly and thoughtful owners."
We very much enjoyed our stay and recommend the cottage to anyone wishing to visit the Dales area.
-
"Cottage immaculate, location perfect and friendly hosts responded immediately to help with queries."
Definitely recommend!
-
"Our week in Bull Hill cottage was utterly delightful from start to finish."
The setting is so tranquil with a bubbling stream, bird song throughout the day, and no intrusive sounds (cars, etc) at all. The interior of the cottage is outstanding, with fabulous attention to detail. The hosts were so kind and attentive, yet not at all intrusive - James & Vikki just wanted us to be happy! The space inside the cottage feels roomy, and it was certainly helped by the large patio area. We enjoyed a couple of BBQs and the toddler loved the safe enclosed patio. The wee one also was thrilled to feed the chickens every day with little food waste. There is so much to do in the immediate area, including walks & bike rides from the cottage, the local steam train, and loads of attractions nearby. I definitely hope to return to the same property if it is available!
-
"Unfortunately we only stayed 2 nights but really wish it had been a week, as the cottage is so lovely."
It has character yet modern, very cosy and clean, and decorated to a high standard. Outside is very secluded and peacefull. I highly recomend it. The welcome tray in the kitchen is a lovely touch. Thank you to the owners . We deffinatly want to stay there again.
-
"A beautiful, and comfortable cottage in lovely peaceful surroundings, but within walking distance to shop and pubs."
-
"We really enjoyed our last minute stay."
The cottage was very clean and inviting with the little welcome food pack adding that extra touch. The only thing I would say was there no bin bags provided and also no hair dryer anywhere to use, but other than that it was a lovely perfect getaway.
-
"Excellent location for Oxenhope railway, cottage was extremely clean, everything required for a relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings."
Will definitely be returning.
-
"Fabulous cottage."
Very clean and facilities are brilliant. Could not find fault at all. Had the most relaxing holiday in quiet peaceful surroundings. Will definitely be booking again.
-
"A new cottage starting out, far exceeded our expectations, very friendly but also non intrusive, Fresh eggs from the farm, very clean and more cooking equipment than you could ever ask for."
A lovely mix of a beautiful cottage with modern features set next to a running stream. Tip: Open the window for better WiFi! It's 4G!
-

The property
Following a journey down a gorgeous tree-lined country lane, passing over an idyllic running stream, Bull Hill Cottage rests next to the owner's home in the quaint West Yorkshire village of Oxenhope.
Sleeping up to four guests, this converted outbuilding offers beautiful split-level accommodation, set amidst the owner's grounds which includes open fields with free range chickens.
After a satisfying work out on the moors, relax in the first-floor sitting room beneath the oak beams, with a wall-mounted Smart TV, a sofa and an easy chair, you can wind down with pretty views out of the window to the trees to accompany you.
The kitchen/diner rests on the middle floor of this split-level accommodation, just four steps up from the ground floor, and presents a beautiful space to prepare and enjoy your meals, with fitted integrated units and all the appliances you need.
From here step out onto the pretty enclosed terrace, where you can hear the stream running nearby creating an idyllic scene, enjoy summer evening drinks here or dine alfresco at the bistro set.
The excellent bathroom which features a bath with a shower over rests on the ground floor, along with the twin bedroom, whilst the double bedroom lies on the first floor and has a Smart TV, with both bedrooms enjoying furniture for storage and pretty bed linen and decor.
Find the public footpath which rests nearby to embark on a walk exploring the area, or stroll down the country lane and into the village to find the shop and two pubs.
The neighbouring village of Haworth with its cobbled streets is a charming place and is home to the Bronte Parsonage Museum, the family home of the famous writers which displays personal items, manuscripts and letters by the sisters, one of whom so famously described the rugged beauty of the area in the novel Wuthering Heights.
