About this property
Bronte Barn was previously a Yorkshire Threshing Barn with the original large arched window containing the date stone 1831. It nestles in this unique setting close to the lovely village of Haworth, surrounded by grazed fields and footpaths. Enter the pretty terraced cottage into the kitchen dining area, where meals can be taken with the addition of a wonderful panoramic view, the cosy lounge area is ideal for relaxing in.
The staircase leads to the walk in shower room, and the double and a twin bedrooms, both enjoying picturesque views to wake up to each morning. Head into the nearby village of Haworth (approx 3/4 mile away) where the cobbled High Street and alleyways are steeped in history and not only offer numerous cafés, eateries and pubs but also a variety of independent shops and businesses. Pay a visit to the Bronte Parsonage museum which was the sisters' home from 1821-1861 or take a walk to Top Withens said to be the inspiration for Wuthering Heights. In the nearby village of Oakworth you will find pubs, a supermarket and also Branshaw Golf Club. Visit the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway at Oakworth station where the original Railway Children was filmed. The market town of Skipton, known as the 'Gateway to The Dales', is well worth a visit or venture a little further afield and enjoy a cream tea in Harrogate. Manchester and Leeds are in easy reach.

Key safe entry worked perfectly even had a little video from the owner to make sure the process was clear. Just remember it is Yorkshire, the access road is narrow and the hills are steep. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay.

The view, comfortable beds, complete kitchen washing machine, in the center of all the places we visited, Lots of opportunities for photos on the way. My wife found using the toilet upstairs a bit of a challenge as she has walking sticks.

Radiator heating times are pre-programmed to come on Morning & Evening, consequently if weather is cold and you are staying in during the day there is no heating availability. These points are not a complaint just food for thought, as overall we had a very pleasant stay in the barn.
