About this property

Character Cottage in Haworth. Come and Enjoy Yorkshire...Yours To Discover!

"Maple Leaf Cottage" is a traditional stone built terraced Victorian house circa 1890. A few minutes walk from the historic and attractive village of Haworth West Yorkshire. This was the home village of the famous Bronte Family. The three sisters, one brother and father lived at the Parsonage and created many literary classics. Haworth's cobbled Main Street is lined with many charming individual shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants. At the end of the street is the Bronte Parsonage Museum, Haworth Church and Haworth Visitor Information Centre. Maple Leaf Cottage is also situated near Pennistone Hill, where there is a terrific circular walk just out of the front door where you can soak up the natural beauty of the surrounding countryside.

"Maple Leaf Cottage" has 1 single and 2 double bedrooms on the first floor. It can sleep five people. The main double bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with a shower, toilet and wash basin. The second double bedroom, is adjacent to the first floor main bathroom which has a slipper bath with hand shower, toilet and wash basin. The character timber-beamed kitchen with Yorkshire flag stone floors is fully equipped. The cozy sitting room has 2 large double sofas and 1arm chair with a stone fireplace and a gas fired wood stove for your added comfort. To the rear through the stable door out of the kitchen is a small attractive private garden with a table and 4 chairs. A quiet recluse after a day of hiking the area.

Amenities: Gas central heating, gas wood stove fireplace, Rangemaster Gas oven, microwave, Smeg fridge/freezer, washing machine, 47" LDC tv with "FreeSat" satellite connection, Sky Box so bring your Sky card, DVD player & selection of DVD's, cd/radio, WiFi. Fuel and power included. Bed linen and towels included. Parking on the street in front of house, is usually not an issue.
We purchased the property in August of 2017 and have made many improvements. The en-suite has been upgraded. The bedrooms have all new mattresses, linens and towels. The lounge has been redecorated with all new sofas and furnishings. The fireplace with a gas fired stove has been renovated with new tiles to give that extra cozy feel. The floor coverings have been restored and replaced as needed. The house has a new gas fired combi- boiler for intant heat and hot water.

Haworth hosts many themed weekends throughout the year. The hugely popular 1940's weekend on May 18 - 21 is quite the spectacle, with all the shops and people dressed in the 1940's war period. There is also a 1960's weekend. Steampunk weekend, followed by "Hawortheen" at the end of October. Christmas is like walking into a scene from "A Christmas Carol", with "Scrogging the Holly" and the Torchlight Procession.
The Keighley and Worth Valley Railway steam train stops in Haworth. It has numerous special weekends and events during the year. A sure hit with the young and old alike.
The Yorkshire Dales National Park is a short 15 minute drive to the North. Skipton is a must visit, called "The Gateway To The Dales" and is a true gem with the castle, locks, daily market, interesting shops, pubs. This is one of our favourite towns in Yorkshire. Further to the East is Whitby and Scarborough. Other cities, towns and villages to visit are York, Halifax, Saltaire, Harrogate, Hebden Bridge, Ilkley, Settle - just a few of the many places to enjoy. There are countless other small villages to the North and in the Dales to explore..

Enjoyed our visit

As a family of four, 2 adults and 2 teens, we enjoyed our visit to Haworth, and Maple Cottage was perfect for us. It had all that we needed and was a very short walk to Main Street. The owner was helpful and easy to communicate with.

A beautiful cottage in a great location

This cottage is a beautiful place to stay. Very well equipped in all rooms, very comfortable and cosy and was a great location for accessing the locality. A short walk up the high street and a park at the end of the road and we took a lovely little ride on the steam train. We lived the gas fire on a cold evening and was more than suitable for our 4 year old to make herself at home. Excellent communication from the owners. Thanks for having us!

Brontës, and much more.

Maple Leaf cottage is an excellent base from which to explore the surrounding attractions and countryside. It is ideal for a family, had everything we needed, has a fully equipped kitchen. It is so well organised we did not need to call on the property manager but did manage to meet her as we left. There’s lots of information on places to eat if cooking is not on your list of things to do, what to see in Haworth and further afield. This is Brontë country of course but don’t forget the steam railway or walks on the moors (preferably not when it rains).

Wonderful Spot!

We had a wonderful stay in Hayworth and a cozy time in Maple Leaf Cottage. Our first few days had icy and cold weather but the gas fireplace kept us warm. Communication with Colin went well. We appreciate being able to share in their Hayworth home!

Feeling at home in Maple Leaf Cottage

A lovely cottage that is spotless, spacious, well-equipped and in a great location only a short walk to the shops and eateries that Haworth has to offer. The welcome pack on arrival was appreciated as was the wealth of tourist information and Yorkshire reading material that helped us to learn more about the area and to plan our week. Colin & Pam (property owners) were in contact with us from the minute we booked, ensuring we had everything we needed. A great place to stay - a home from home - in a wonderful part of Yorkshire. Enjoy!

6 night stay

Had a wonderful stay at the cottage. It was just what we needed for our flying visit from the USA for a wedding. Traveling with 2 teenagers everyone had the space they needed to relax. Beds were very comfy and we slept well. Kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed, located close to Haworth Main Street. Thank you we'll be back in our next visit to see family

A beautiful and cosy home in the Brontë country

We loved staying at Maple Leaf Cottage. The house is perfect for a family of five and has all the conditions for a beautiful stay. The surrounding area is wonderful - we loved Yorkshire. Perfect to stay even when you want to see cities a little further - Liverpool, Manchester, York. We also loved the fact that the location is in the Brontë country...

gemütlich, sauber und einladend

Wir (Ehepaar, Kleinkind) haben Haworth Ende August für 10 Tage besucht. Das Häuschen war von Beginn an sehr einladend und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die organisatorischen Abläufe (Kontaktaufnahme, Buchung, Ankunft, Schlüsselübergabe über Schlüsselbox, Betreuung über Housekeeper, Rückerstattung Kaution) haben problemlos funktioniert. Die Ausstattung war wie beschrieben (außer einen Föhn, den wir aber vielleicht auch nicht gefunden haben :)). Besonders gemütlich wird es am Abend im Wohnzimmer am Kamin. Innerhalb von 5 min. ist man zu Fuß auf der Main Street mit zahlreichen Pubs, Restaurants und cafés. Ein sehr malerisches Städtchen, sehr empfehlenswert. Innerhalb von 5 min. können traumhafte Wanderwege ins Moor erreicht werden. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Kleiner Tipp an Halloween oder Weihnachten bestimmt traumhaft!!!

A home from home. The perfect base for exploring.

We booked Maple Leaf Cottage at the last minute for the Easter break not really knowing what to expect as there were no reviews. We needn’t have worried. We were greeted on our arrival by the friendly housekeeper, Sandra, who showed us where everything was and how the important things worked. The house itself is beautifully finished and I honestly don’t think there was anything we wanted for. The owners, Colin and Pamela, provided a pack with lots of information on the house, places to eat and things to see and do. That was really helpful and we used it a lot. While the weather at the start of the week was very poor, we were still lovely and cosy in the house. There is so much to see and do in this area and we didn’t manage a fraction of what we had hoped to see. We will be back. A hidden gem.

About the host

Hosted by Colin & Pamela Dickinson

Host profile image
My wife and I have lived in Canada for 40 years, but were born and bred just east of Manchester and we both grew up on farms. We are now retired and decided to come back to our roots to buy a little of "God's Country". We have travelled a great deal and always come back to Yorkshire and the Haworth area. Perfectly situated to visit Yorkshire, the Dales and the Lake District. Our vision was to make this our bolt hole for 5 or 6 weeks a year, then the rest of the time we would let it out.
After buying in June 2017 we came back to the house in Oct/Nov for 4 weeks to upgrade and improve the house to make it feel every bit like "home away from home." My wife Pam said we have never worked so hard on 'getting the place right." We had a dead line of 4 weeks and with the help of a local home improvement contractor we managed it just in time!!
Pam loves the local history and natural beauty of the area and has loads of information about West Yorkshire and the Dales. She has found many fabulous dining establishments...I think we have taste tested each every place there is to try.From pub grub, high teas, fine dining down to the best farm shops in the area! This will save you lots of time on your first visit!

Why they chose this property

It is siutated perfectly for exploring all the local history and beauty of Haworth. Through-out the year there is always a special event going on in Haworth. From the 1940's weekend to "Hawortheen" in October to the best Christmas decorated street.. something out of a Dickens novel! Then discover the rest of Yorkshire, the largest county... and some say the best in England! Going north to The Dales, East to Scarbourough and Whitby on the coast, or west and you are soon in the Lake District. All make many perfect days out as you discover Yorkshire.

What makes this property unique

We bought this property because it is situated perfectly in Yorkshire to visit all the sites in our favourite part of England. We wanted to be in an area with lots of interesting history and heritage to explore. Every trip out will bring new adventures and new friends alike. The locals are so helpful and kind and they always have a funny tale to tell!
We love history. Pam is currently writing a book about our 192 year old house in Canada. When we bought this house, the history and the area fascinated us. There are so many places to visit locally that made Britain famous during the Industrial Revolution. From the cotton mills, canals for transport to the building of towns like Saltaire. The counties agricultural history is vibrant and is preserved in the many museums and stately homes. To sample the Yorkshire food traditions try some of the many excellent pubs and restaurants.
The scenery is breathtaking! With a multitude of foot paths and hiking trails, you can enjoy the changing seasons in the countryside.
