About this property
Sitting amongst the beauty of West Yorkshire, with distant views of the steam trains of Keighley and Worth Valley Light Railway, is the stone-built cottage Little Barn. Tucked away in the village of Cross Roads near Haworth on the banks of the River Worth, this property offers a rural escape for friends and families looking to explore Yorkshire. Take the several steps up to the front door to be welcomed in by a stylish kitchen, with the interior of the cottage offering a contemporary style while its exterior is more traditional, the cottage has an eclectic charm. Enjoy a romantic moment at the breakfast bar with your partner with a glass of fizz in hand while your dinner simmers on the induction hob, before moving through to the living/dining room to enjoy your homemade meal and unwinding on the corner sofa as the warmth of the rustic woodburning stove fills the room. The ground floor also hosts a sparkling shower room and a double bedroom with exposed stone walls bringing even more character to the property and making a great sleeping spot for those less able. Up on the first floor you can find the master king-size bedroom complete with a luxurious freestanding bath in the room, perched next to the window so you can soak in your wonderful surroundings while relaxing in the bubbles, along with a convenient cloakroom being found up here too. Completing the interior is a first-floor snug with a sofa bed allowing for flexible sleeping arrangements or a lovely spot to delve into a good book. The excitement continues outside with the rear enclosed courtyard being home to your very own private hot tub where you can marvel at the stars in the dark skies following an evening of alfresco dining around the barbecue. The position of the property is perfect for those seeking an idyllic base that isn't far from an array of fantastic attractions, with the village of Cross Roads hosting pubs, restaurants, a bakery and takeaways, it has all you could need when you don't feel like cooking. The beautiful village of Haworth is just down the road, recognised for being the home-town of the famous Brontë sisters and boasting quaint cobbled streets, boutique shops, tea rooms, country pubs and restaurants, as well as the popular Brontë Parsonage Museum, bridges and buildings linking back to the Brontë family home and literary past. For those seeking outdoor adventure, be sure to take a trip to Bingley St Ives, a 500 acre park, home to the landmark of Lady Blantyre's Rock and offering golfing opportunities and lovely walks around the lake. Or to explore the beauty of the area in a different way, be sure to take a memorable trip on a steam train at heritage railway Keighley and Worth Valley Railway- famed for the 1970's film The Railway Children, it's a true marvel to be seen taking you all the way to the charming village of Oxenhope. For even more wonderful nature, venture into the North York Moors National Park to find walking and cycling routes for all abilities amongst some of the most remarkable settings in Yorkshire, or visit the historic city of Bradford and marvel at its astounding architecture for a different kind of splendour. In the perfect position for exploring Yorkshire, Little Barn is a wonderful choice for your rural retreat. Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1006764, together sleeping 12 guests.

Easy to get to and find. Like a hotel but more stylish. Would definitely recommend your place for a break. Escape from the busy crowd.

A few very minor niggles: I lost count of how many times I knocked the toilet roll off the holder in the downstairs bathroom - it needs a knob or something to keep it in place. Also the hot tub filter could probably do with upgrading since there was always some garden detritus (leaves etc) in it after use. But these might have weighed more heavily since we were unable to move around as much as usual owing to our car breaking down. I would strongly recommend the property.
