  We were very shocked and disappointed on arrival at this cottage.

  The outside was extremely unkempt. There were weeds and dried leaves in the front. The gate needed varnishing. The windows had water running down the inside. It looked as though the double glazing had blown. They obviously need replacing. The windows were dirty. The front door needed varnishing. The glass in the front door needed cleaning. There was green mould on the picnic bench and seat in the front. The front of the cottage was not very inviting at all. Nothing like the pictures on the website. The table in the living room for two people was more like one would use for camping. It wasn't very clean. It was right in front of the window and if one wanted to have a meal, there was no privacy as there are a lot of people passing on foot. If the windows are repaired, a blind might be appropriate. The microwave wasn't working when we tried to use it. We rang the owners wife and she told us her husband would purchase a new one and drop it in. He arrived with the microwave. We asked did he want to check it was working but he seemed to be in a hurry. He told us to just set it up ourselves and put the old one in the box outside in the front. That just added to the outside looking more unkept. On removal of the old microwave we were horrified to find something spilled there very congealed. There was a mound of crumbs and a big spider ran out. This had obviously not been cleaned for a long time. There are health and safety issues in an unclean kitchen.The kitchen floor was not clean. There was a plastic bottle behind the bin and some chipolatas on the floor. We had to clean the kitchen ourselves with antibacterial spray and wipes. There were a few live crawling woodlice on the stairs. The bathroom was in need of maintenance . It needed painting there were marks on the skirting boards. The taps on the bath were stiff and hard to turn on and off. The hot tap was swivelling around on turning on and off. The seal on the shower screen needs replacing. It was preventing movement over the bath. The window ledges in the bedrooms were dirty. We cleaned them ourselves. There was thick dust on the back.of the mirror in the larger bedroom. The tops of the bedside cabinets weren't very clean. The mattress on the bed was thin and the springs were sticking in our back. It needs replacing. The iron bedstead was very uncomfortable and noisy. If of all these issues were addressed then the cottage would be of a higher standard meriting more stars It is only a ten to fifteen minutes walk into Howarth. There is a good bus service on the road nearby. There is also a lovely pub a few minutes away with good food and a handy corner shop. We have stayed in a number of Sykes Cottages over the years and generally we have never given a bad review.

  From the moment we arrived, it became clear that this house is truly a cut above the rest.

  Nestled right next to a moor, the location alone is worth writing home about, offering both tranquility and a stunning natural backdrop. But it's the house itself that takes the spotlight. Every room is a testament to luxury and comfort. The cinema room provided an unparalleled movie-watching experience, making us feel like we were in our private theatre. For those who love games, the house is a paradise. The pool table room was a centre of friendly competition and laughter, while the hot tub offered a perfect relaxation spot after a day of exploring. The games room and the football table room were also brimming with fun, ensuring that there was never a dull moment during our stay. What truly elevates the experience is the attention to detail in the furnishings. Comfortable, beautiful and stylish, every piece seemed thoughtfully chosen, adding to the overall elegance of the space. And last but certainly not least, the owner of this amazing property deserves special mention. Their helpfulness and dedication to ensuring we had a memorable stay were evident from the outset. They were always available to assist or offer advice about the local area, which greatly enhanced our experience. In conclusion, this house is more than just a place to stay; it's a luxurious escape that offers a plethora of activities and comforts. It's ideal for families, groups of friends, or anyone looking to indulge in a high-standard living experience surrounded by the beauty of nature. We left with unforgettable memories and a promise to ourselves to return.

  Haworth was a beautiful place to stay and the location of the cottage was good.

  The cottage itself wasn’t up to standard. First impression of outside looked scruffy, weeds and untidy baskets, broken gate and leaves/litter. All the windows were misted up/broken down and need replacing. Woodlice both dead and alive crawling in the property. Kitchen bin not emptied and floor not cleaned. Smell to the property like heavy smoker has lived there. All lights and skirting boards dusty/cobwebs. Bed wasn’t a king size as advertised, bedding all ok, bathroom ok…serviceable but ceiling needed cleaning and painting and the bedroom one also. Needs a good clean under all furniture which I would of done myself but only small hand held vacuum available to use. We made the best of the stay and out most of the day, didn’t cook in the kitchen, lucky with the weather so we were able to leave windows open. Wouldn’t return to this cottage, it’s the first time we have ever been disappointed with accommodation in over 30yrs! The locals made the holiday as all so friendly we would definitely return to this area.

  The cottage was amazing.

  Just the right size for a group of five people. The front room with a log burner was just lovely to sit in in the evening. The kitchen table was great to sit around for breakfast in the morning and playing some games. It had everything we needed and more. It was really clean. It was a really lovely touch to have some bread, milk, eggs, wine and logs there for us. The location is beautiful. We loved that we could walk our little dog in the morning over the fields nearby. It’s not far to Brontë country. You can visit the parsonage where the Brontë sisters lived and the church their father was parson at nearby. This was the high light for me. We drove through the Misty moors to get to it. The Hare and Hound local pub which is a short walk from the cottage was a lovely place to go for drinks and food. The staff were so friendly. We had a great stay and will definitely love to come back in the future.

  This holiday let was HOME for the week!

  We were met with a very warm welcome and guide round the house by the hosts. It was comfortable, clean and a fully stocked kitchen (utensils etc.) with everything you needed. Paired with a beautiful dining room for family meals. There were 7 of us staying in the house for my 60th Birthday with ages ranging from 24 to 94 for the other guests. Even though we had a lot of rain during our stay, there was plenty to do for everyone. Also, plenty of space to all have your own space if you wanted. The house kept us very well entertained. Fab laundry room too! The only thing that I would ask people to note is, that whilst there is a ground floor bedroom and W.C for less abled guests (which I needed for my mother) there is not a shower on the ground floor, something I overlooked and assumed there was a shower in the W.C when I read it. Would definitely go again, lovely area with plenty to do and visit.
