What our customers say about their holidays

• Robert - Verified booking

  The cottage is beautifully furnished and very clean with fantastic views over the surrounding countryside.

  There is also plenty of wildlife to watch. It is not the easiest place to find. Continue along Woodlands until you come to a left turn, turn left, continue to bottom of paved road and take left hand unpaved track, turn left at top of track through metal gates and the cottages are in front of you. The heating in the cottage is controlled by the owner and he is quite economical with it. You have to ask for the heating to be put on. Whilst I appreciate the reason for it, I did not like this aspect of my stay at all. The WIFI appears to have been sorted out. It dropped out occasionally but no major problems. There is a lot of equipment in the cottage, e.g. Sky TV, Bose sound system, DVD player and video recorder, sadly most of it does not work. This is mainly due to most of the remote controls having flat or no batteries. The Sky TV was not receiving a satellite signal so was useless. The only TV available was Freeview. There are instructions for the kitchen appliances but none in English. It is a case of trial and error. The outside area could do with a bit of TLC. Some proper garden furniture is required and the old plastic bench at the bottom of the stairs needs to go. The existing outside furniture was very dirty. We enjoyed our stay but would not return.

  A little difficult to find.

  Your satnav will take you into a cul-de-sac. Follow the instructions you've been sent to the letter. The apartment is clean and comfortable. Heating is perfect: the thermostat is very efficient. Powerful shower. The bed is firm and comfortable will cool, crisp bed linen. The kitchen is well-equipped. A few gripes which slightly impaired my stay. There is no Sky TV as advertised. Apart from the first freeview channels reception is wobbly and for the last two days the set would not switch on at all. W-fi is intermittent. I had to use my phone as a hotspot and therefore ad to pay for data use. The oven doesn't work. The control knob came off in my hand and inside there were a pair of dirty baking trays. There were only three coathangers. The owner has very limited English so complaining would ave been no use.

  Rnately furnished and decorated, with very large kitchen and huge dining table.

  Bedrooms and bathrooms large and well fitted. The property is a barn convention which is looking a little tired in places particularly outside where the garden furniture let it down. As mentioned in previous reviews there, lacking some basic items (potato masher, measuring jug) is a loose tile in the main bedroom, a faulty flicker light in the kitchen and slimy paving slabs by the front door, the slabs are extremely slippy when wet, a hazard which requires immediate attention. Communication with owner could be improved, on arrival we had a very hurried and brief meet, the property lacks instructions on how things work I.e. cooker, washing machine etc, we left a day early and sent a courtesy text letting the owner know, but received no reply.

  The views are stunning.

  Finding the cottage is a problem even with sat nav , a neighbour we asked for directions said every Saturday was the same he was asked where this cottage was . Instructions for oven were all in a foreign language but did manage to work it out on my own . Its a shame as its in a beautiful area with stunning views and with a little care and attention could be out stand. There is no WiFi even though it says there is . Previous guest say exactly the same . The steam train trip is fantastic and the 1940s tearoom at Haworth is brilliant . Try the fabulous afternoon tea and the town its self is stunning . The Grouse Inn near by is worth a visit food is fantastic abd The Snooty Fox pub in Oakworth has a warm friendly atmosphere with great Beer .

  The cottage was clean and well equipped.

  However, there are two problems with the description of Bronte Cottage. 1. The description of facilities said there is Wi-Fi. There is no Wi-Fi. Had I known that I would not have booked. I would like a partial refund for the inconvenience that caused me. 2. The “patio and garden” was also untrue. There was a dirty and crumbling concreted area behind the cottage accessed by a path around the adjacent property and by steps. The 2 seats and the table were in a very poor state as was the fence around the area. I suspect that if someone leant against the fence they would find themselves quickly fallen 10 feet or more to the field below!
