Duck Egg Cottage, Haworth

West Yorkshire. Sleeps up to 5

Resting just a moment’s walk from the winding streets of Haworth, lies the quaint, mid-terrace Duck Egg Cottage. Hosting three charming bedrooms, this delightful abode welcomes families looking to explore the historic Brontë Country. After a day of wandering the Yorkshire hills, look forward to unwinding in the sitting room, boasting exposed beams and a woodburning stove, you’ll feel a sense of character on your return. Move into the kitchen where you’ll find all the essentials, such as an electric oven and ceramic hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and even a washing machine and tumble dryer, ensuring you are fully catered for. The bedrooms can be found upstairs and offer a traditional décor, offering a king-size, a small 4’6” double and single bed, each with plush duvets and plenty of storage space. Take a favourite drink outside and relax within the enclosed courtyard, offering outdoor furniture which is also perfect for alfresco dining. If you fancy a night off cooking, a short stroll brings you to a selection of country pubs and fine restaurants, as well as bars where you can sample some Yorkshire gin and real ales. The village is known for being the home to the Brontë sisters, who were inspired by the surrounding beauty to pen their novels, and with quaint alleys and cobbled streets creating a period atmosphere, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped back into another era. Visit attractions such as the Brontë family home and museum and the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway, a preserved railway as shown in the famous film, The Railway Children. Venture to the lively market town of Skipton, regarded as the Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, with its stunning castles and scenic walking routes through the National Park, or head to the bustling city of Leeds for a welcome change of scenery. With all this in reach, Duck Egg Cottage provides a lovely retreat, whatever time of year.
