Haworth is a community that seems to have escaped the ravages of time, thanks to its multiplicity of antique stores, alleyways, and cobbled streets.

A lot of thought has gone into the apartment with many personal and quirky touches which make it such a memorable and characterful place to stay. "Over the Arch" deserves its excellent ratings and we would have no hesitation in recommending it as the perfect Yorkshire base.

This property was the cleanest one ever and highly maintained in all areas. The bed was very comfortable. At our ages the lift was beneficial. The co op over the road was a bonus, no long trips to the supermarkets. Communication was excellent between the owners and myself. Nothing was to much trouble. Perfect.
