West Yorkshire. Sleeps up to 4

With charming countryside cottage vibes and a garden ideal for alfresco dining, be welcomed into Cherry Tree Cottage, nestling in Harden, West Yorkshire, between Haworth and Bingley. Ilkley and Saltaire, an ideal location for walkers, cyclists and anyone wanting to explore God’s own county! Settle down in a homely cottage sitting room and catch up on your favourite TV shows as the stove warms your feet. When mealtimes call, the kitchen has a number of home-from-home amenities to cater to your culinary needs, as well as character features including wooden roofbeams, so why not cook up a storm and enjoy it at the dining table? Two bedrooms await your relaxation, but first, make the most of the delightful bathroom, where wood-panelling adds character to the space as you relax in the roll top bath or freshen up in the walk-in rainforest shower, before cosying up into either a tastefully furnished double or a larger king-size with roof beams and stylish furniture, overlooking the woodlands and fields beyond. When the sun is shining, head outside and enjoy the garden with a glass of your favourite beverage. Right outside your doorstep you will find countryside walks, and the local area of Harden also has a convenience store for you to stock up on essentials, a butcher, post office and a selection of pubs and eateries. Try out a game of golf at Bingley St Ives Golf Club or take a walk around St Ives Estate itself, with woods, fields, large duck pond, café, and children’s play area. Walk along the footpath in front of the cottage, to Goit Stock Waterfall, or through Cottingley Woods, past the folly, down to Bingley’s Myrtle Park. There is a great selection of walks, cycle rides, museums, and other attractions within easy reach of the property. Take a short drive to Haworth, home of the Bronte Sisters, Bronte Parsonage Museum, the Moors and Waterfall, Worth Valley Steam Railway, and the famous cobbles of Haworth Main Street, with its independent shops, pubs, and restaurants; look out for the various themed weekends. Bingley is also nearby, where you can watch the boats go up and down Five Rise Locks, enjoy canal walks, and visit a hub of shops, pubs, restaurants, and the park, or perhaps head to Settle, taking the train Carlisle train over the famous Ribblehead Viaduct. The World Heritage Site of Saltaire can be reached by car, home to the exhibitions of the world-famous artist David Hockney, along with antique and vintage shops, restaurants, and galleries to add to your itinerary. Ilkley, where you can visit the Moor, with the Cow and Calf Rocks and walk along The Grove to Betty’s Cafe Tea Rooms, is a little further afield, along with Skipton, the Gateway to The Yorkshire Dales National Park, and a market town, with a castle and woodland walk, outdoor markets, and canal boat rides.
