Can't recommend this place enough. Self-contained, kitchen included, parking space (with EV charge port), dog-friendly, stone's throw from all the Main St highlights (literally a very weak child's stone's throw - it took me maybe 2 mins to get to the parsonage). And two bedrooms, a bit of a rarity for a property so close to everything. Hosts were super communicative and there were no problems when our adult son decided to come along and make use of that second bedroom. (The only thing that would have made this *better* than perfect - which it already was! - was a washing machine. We were 2 weeks into our 5 week trip at that point and needed to do a load but we were able to get around this by using the (serviced) Peggy Tubs laundrette in town) If I'm ever lucky enough to come back over to this part of the world, this will be the only place I'd stay at. Highly recommend.

Excellent 2 bedroom cottage on part of the cobbled street leading to main Street. It's just a very short walk to the Brontë parsonage. The cottage has a well equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge , corridor leading to the two bedrooms and fresh bathroom. There is a separate side entrance which has self contained stone floored room perfect for pets. Parking for 1 car. Highly recommended

A beautiful cottage that has been cared for and in a great location. Very impressed with the super comfy beds and decor throughout. There is a very large bedroom with a king size bed and another double room. The bathroom has a rain shower as well as an ordinary shower head. The kitchen is well equipped. The lounge has a very comfortable leather sofa and the Welcome Pack is comprehensive. There is a boot room which was very useful for the heavy rainfall we have been having as well as a hose outside to wash muddy paws and boots. The cottage has its own car parking space which is easily accessible. Located at the top of the Main Street there are numerous pubs, eateries and independent shops down the cobbled Street. The Bronte Museum is very close by at the rear of the cottage and there is a lovely walk through the graveyard, through the kissing gate along a track to Penistone country park. There are paths leading off and well signposted to Bronte waterfalls and beyond.

We have stayed at Withens Way on three occasions now and will be returning for a fourth time next year. Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Just to put this in a nutshell. Peaceful, private driveway, spotlessly clean, well equipped, warm, a minutes walk from the centre of Haworth. Book it, it's perfect!

We had a fantastic, relaxing week at Withens Way. The property has been renovated and furnished to a high standard, is immaculate and includes all the comforts of home. Extras such as milk, tea, coffee etc., were provided and very welcome on arrival. The property has the benefit of private parking for one car, a real bonus in Haworth. Ideally located just a minute or two walk away from the top of Haworth Main Street, with independent shops, bars and restaurants close by. Richard, the owner, responded very quickly to a couple of queries we had during our stay, which we appreciated. This was a repeat visit to Withens Way for us. We enjoyed it just as much as last time and hope to return.

A lovely cottage in a perfect location. It was our ideal place for a couple of days in Haworth. Gorgeous kitchen and bathroom, well equipped and nicely decorated throughout. The added bonus of a cosy outdoor space, was a nice sun-trap in July when we visited. Friendly owner and good communications - I highly recommend:)

An absolutely outstanding property that is ideally situated right at the top of the lovely main street in Haworth. With everything you need from period features, with little extra touches like dog biscuits, umbrellas, maps, children's books and games, beautiful bathroom with bath and shower, exceptional kitchen with dishwasher, fridge, oven and microwave and living room with Netflix, Prime and Freeview, the added bonus of off street parking, a boot room and a rear outside seating area this cottage really does have it all. We have stopped in many properties throughout England and Scotland and none have been up to the standard of Withens Way. We will definitely be staying again!!!

A fabulous little cottage in an excellent location. The hosts Richard and Leanne have thought of everything from milk and coffee on arrival right down to dog treats. Everything was exceptionally clean whilst being comfortable and extremely cosy.... we even booked a second trip here within a few hours of arrival. We can’t wait to come back

Beautiful well equipped Bungalow, clean and tastefully furnished with everything you need and more. Lots of nice touches such as umberellas, dog biscuits! Very conveniently located and within walking distance to the shops etc in Haworth. Parking facility definitely an advantage. It offered the break we needed and just staying in the cottage was relaxing as it is so pleasant. A few steps leading to the property, we had a mobility impaired person so used the rear access (one step). I would definitely recommend and hope to return in the future. There is a manual for anything you need to know for your stay and the sights to visit. Though we just enjoyed Haworth, the bungalow, short walks and relaxing with a glass of wine in the bungalow's walled garden... with the fairy lights in the evening...divine.

Fantastic cottage, lovely homely feel. Renovated to the highest standards. The cottage has everything and more than you need for a break away. Only 200yds from the main street and virtually on the footpath that leads to the moors. An absolute gem.
