Guests say
Guests consistently praise 11 Lane End for its stylish, practical interiors and homely atmosphere. The property is celebrated for its cleanliness, comfortable furnishings, and thoughtful touches such as welcome baskets. Its location is ideal for exploring local attractions and enjoying countryside walks.

Reviewers frequently commend the property for its impeccable cleanliness, with numerous mentions of the cottage being beautifully clean and tidy, contributing to a welcoming and comfortable stay.
The cottage's location is highly praised for its proximity to local amenities, scenic walks, and attractions like the Brontë birthplace. It serves as an excellent base for exploring West Yorkshire, although one guest had a negative interaction with a neighbour.
Comfort is a highlight, with guests describing their stays as cosy and relaxing. The beds are noted for their comfort, and the presence of a log burner adds to the cosy atmosphere.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the property being well-equipped and of high specification. However, a few guests suggested improvements such as hooks on doors and the addition of a dining table.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is evident in the welcome baskets and personal touches like Halloween decorations. While these gestures are greatly appreciated, it is politely noted that such gifts are subject to the hosts' discretion and may not be guaranteed.
About this property
Tucked away in Thornton, West Yorkshire, is this lovely two-bedroom terraced cottage, 11 Lane End. Enjoying an idyllic setting within easy reach of the local amenities, 11 Lane End is a fantastic choice for couples or a family of four. The former gatekeeper’s cottage enjoys roadside parking, access to a shared garden with furniture, and a private garden with lawn.

Upstairs, you will find a well-appointed bathroom, complete with beautiful freestanding bath, handheld shower, and a walk-in shower, ideal for freshening up after a day of exploring. When sleep calls, retreat to one of two tastefully decorated bedrooms, a super-king-size with zip/link or a double, both with plenty of storage. Explore the village, where you can treat your loved ones to a meal at Ring O’Bells, The New Inn, Blue Boar and Manzil, stock up on essentials at the convenience store, and visit the Grade II listed Thorton Viaduct. Continue into Bradford, where you will find the Bradford Industrial Museum, housed in a 19th-century mill, the National Science and Media Museum, Cartwright Hall, Bradford Cathedral, Bradford Moor Golf Club, and a wealth of restaurants, pubs, and shops. Next stop is Haworth, well-known for its links to the Bronte Sisters, where you can tour the Bronte Parsonage Museum, sample local ales in the Wuthering Heights pub, or hop aboard the heritage Keighley & Worth Valley Railway for a relaxing 5-mile ride. Further afield is Keighley, home to Cliffe Castle, Keighley Bus Museum, Lund Park, and the nearby National Trust site of Ease Riddlesden Hall. All this and more awaits at 11 Lane End.
This friendly stone-built village can be found in the quaint outskirts of the well-stocked city of Bradford. Thornton has a lot of great places to eat, drink, and shop, including a cafe in the same house where the Bronte sisters were born before their family moved to Haworth. From the nearby Headley Golf Course, you may admire the stunning Grade II-listed Thornton Viaduct on the outskirts of the settlement. Bradford is worth the short travel for its spectacular architecture, plenty of shops, cafes, and cafés, and wide variety of things to do. The Yorkshire Dales National Park is easily accessible for anyone who enjoy being outside; the park's lovely terrain is perfect for a variety of outdoor activities. Haworth, where you'll find the Bronte family house, is only a short drive away. Keighley isn't much further away, and magnificent shopping mecca Leeds is only across Bradford.

The viaduct was a delight to visit and we enjoyed the views from all directions. Very kind owners nearby, always an added bonus. Definitely the best cottage we have ever stayed in, thank you! We will miss 11 Lane End!
