  We had a fantastic stay at Rose Cottage in this stunning part of the country.

  The cottage is ideal for escaping the hustle and bustle: peaceful, cosy, with lots of ways to create and take inspiration from the surrounds. There’s a wonderful piano, a guitar, art materials, games and books, and the cottage has a comforting feel from the moment you walk through the door. There are footpaths onto Penistone Hill and the moors just steps away, and the centre of Haworth is close by, with plenty of pubs, cafes, shops, and restaurants to sample. If you are a creative looking for a place to focus on your craft, a couple looking for a romantic getaway, a lover of the outdoors seeking adventure on your doorstep, Rose Cottage has it all. A special mention to for Andy and Jane. Their contact before our stay was second to none. I also highly recommend you check out Pier Pipers Pianos. As well as a chance to tinkle the ivories, they host regular music nights (think the West Yorkshire Tiny Desk Concert!) We had a wonderful evening watching the supremely talented La’l Tethera, and it’s a great way to scratch beneath the surface of this fascinating place.

  Just got back from a perfect week staying in this super cottage.

  Andy and Jane had put so much thought into the decor and comfort factor, not to mention the cottage's immaculate presentation. Jane's superb art graces the walls creating a beautiful ambience, so fitting to Haworth's character. The whole place has a really cosy and traditional feel with an 'arty' and musical ambience. We particularly loved bathing in the deep roll topped bath, cosying up on the comfy sofa and enjoying the ab fab view from the bedroom. The kitchen was so convenient and easy to use and the cottage was warmed by central heating with a wood burning stove, if so desired. We were Andy and Jane's first guests and were greeted with chilled Prosecco, beautiful Roses, milk, tea and coffee..we couldn't have asked for more. We particularly felt the history of this mill cottage which somehow resonated still. We really didn't want to leave

  Woodman Cottage is a beautiful well equipped cottage with lots of lovely touches and added extras which made for a very pleasant stay.

  Parking outside the cottage was not always possible which involved parking in the nearby road or nearby car park, however we were aware that this would be be on a first come first served basis. There were only a few minor points regarding the cottage itself, such as no socket near the dressing table in the bedroom which meant having to dry my hair downstairs at the dining table, and also the shower basket provided for holding shampoo, etc was attached too high on the wall to be easily accessed. Plus points were the coat hooks for hanging coats on - something sadly lacking in most other cottages we have stayed in - which were a godsend considering we were staying during the tail end of storm Dennis! On the whole we found it very comfortable and very conveniently situated in the town and would definitely recommend to others.

  This was our son Finn’s first holiday - he is 7 weeks old.

  The cottage was a perfect size for the 3 of us (we brought Finn’s cot with us - which fitted in the bedroom with no problem). The cottage was beautiful, had all the facilities we would need and we really liked the added touches that you don’t get in other properties - cleaning products to use, herbs, spices and oils to cook with, local information and recommendations about where to go. We thought it was fantastic and couldn’t fault it at all. It was also rather cool in the hot days and nights we are having so great to come back to! The location is also brilliant - a 2 minute walk into the centre of Skipton but you don’t hear the noise you would expect by being that close. The bathroom is lovely - especially the shower which we wished we could take home. Thank you for a great holiday!

  My husband and I simply adored our stay at Rose Cottage.

  The owners, Jane and Andy, could not have been more helpful - they made it a most perfect stay for us. Rose Cottage is a beautifully calming cottage to stay in; small, but wonderfully set out, with neighbours who are friendly and a garden that is stunning. (I highly recommend having a good look through the garden, as there are lots and lots of subtle, beautiful flowers, herbs, and colours to inject). There’s also a finely-tuned piano and guitar within the cottage, alongside a wood-burning fire and a cosy sofa to relax. It’s heavenly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rose Cottage. However, a small word of warning - the bath: you will not want to get out of it. It is stunning and perfect. You’ve been warned.
