About this 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. Enjoy a ride on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway, taking a big and noisy adventure on a steam train to visit the set of The Railway Children and experience what a vintage carriage is like, and if that's not enough trains then discover the Museum of Rail Travel in Keighley, home to a selection of vintage trains. Also in Keighley is the Keighley Bus Museum for more vintage transport, as well as Cliffe Castle, a Victorian millionaire's former home offering a fascinating day out, and the National Trust's East Riddlesden Hall with beautiful formal gardens, a tearoom and wonderful period furnishings. For a taste of Yorkshire adventure, discover Another World Adventure Centre just outside Keelham, with exciting activities including mountain boarding, archery, go kart building and racing, bumper balls and several more! You are also within reach of Ogden Water Country Park with a beautiful lake and ambling trails, the Dales gateway town of Skipton with its castle and the historic market town of Halifax. Discover a beautiful setting at Bull Hill Cottage for exploring the delights of West Yorkshire.

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!
