The Coach House, Thornton, West Yorkshire

West Yorkshire. Sleeps up to 5

Nestled within the bustling yet rural village of Thornton, The Coach House is a charming countryside cottage that makes a wonderful base for a family or group of five touring the very best of West Yorkshire. Spend your evenings in the beautiful cream kitchen as you grab ingredients from the retro blue fridge/freezer and prepare a delicious family feast with the help of the sleek electric oven and hob. Take your seat at the lovely pine dining table and raise a glass to your adventures in the Yorkshire countryside, before relaxing in the lounge in front of the cosy electric fire. Venture up the staircase and discover three well-appointed bedrooms including a stylish king-size with muted grey tones, a light and tranquil double with exposed wood beams, and a quaint single bedroom offering the perfect space to retire to at the end of another fun-filled day. Across the way, a contemporary family bathroom hosting a roomy tub with an overhead shower can be found serving each of the bedrooms, providing guests with the option of a long morning soak or a quick rinse to kick-start their day. Make the most of warmer weather with afternoons spent lounging on the decking as you enjoy a refreshing glass of lemonade and admire splendid views of the open fields. The birthplace of the Brontë Sisters, the village of Thornton offers cafes, shops and pubs, whilst Haworth is just a short drive away and home to the popular Brontë Parsonage Museum and Keighley and Worth Valley Railway. Explore the breath-taking landscapes of Kirkstall Valley Nature Reserve and Leeming Reservoir, whether by foot or bike, or challenge yourself to a brisk hike to the top of Mere Stones. Travel to Riddlesden and delight in a tour of the National Trust owned East Riddlesden Hall, or travel to the neighbouring town of Halifax to see the historic site of St Stephen's. Wander the 18th century cloth hall of The Piece Hall Halifax, and explore the scenic woodland of Hardcastle Crags with its imposing 19th century mill. Over in Kirkstall, the 12th century ruins of Kirkstall Abbey are a must see, whilst Tropical World and Posey Pacas Alpacas make for excellent days out. Live unforgettable moments with your nearest and dearest on a fabulous holiday to The Coach House.
