A welcoming retreat nestled in the West Yorkshire village of Thornton, 3.5 miles from Bradford, this holiday haven will suit literature and outdoor lovers alike. Sleeping four guests, and welcoming four-legged friends with open paws, this two-bedroom hideaway sits on the fringes of the birthplace of the famous Brontë sisters. Venture 6.5 miles from here to Haworth in Airedale to visit the Brontë Parsonage Museum, where they grew up and now a museum. While you are here, take a stroll through the spectacular moorland of Penistone Hill Country Park. Ogden Water Country Park, 3.5 miles from your base and with woodland and lakeside walks, is also a picturesque place to visit. Pack a picnic and head off for the day to explore the Yorkshire Dales, 12.5 miles away, or the Peak District, 19 miles away. Closer to home, the Hewenden Viaduct, 4 miles away, is quite a sight to see.

Turn away from the views to let yourselves into the cottage via the front door and hallway. Unlace walking boots, dry muddy paws, and hang jackets before heading on inside. Separate snug where you can relax and put your feet up with a magazine after a long days walking. Walk through to the lounge to take a seat on one of the inviting sofas, ready to catch up on the news of the day or perhaps find your current boxset on the Smart TV. This room flows easily into the kitchen/diner, where you will find everything you need to help you cater for your party during your stay. With its high ceilings and huge windows, you can soak in the rural views as you cook and dine, also located downstairs is a WC. Your bedrooms, one king and a double, are up on the first floor, together with the family bathroom which offers a shower over the bath, perfect for refreshing tired muscles after exhilarating hikes.

Spill out into the generous, landscaped garden at every opportunity. Savour the glorious colour out here in the spring and summer months.

After spending four wonderful weeks at this beautiful barn in Thornton, we can honestly say it is the best place we have ever stayed in the areaand the only accommodation we would actively return to. The setting is simply stunning, with fabulous views that we never tired of waking up to each day. Inside, the barn is finished to an exceptionally Read morehigh standard, with quality furnishings, excellent facilities, and every comfort you could wish for. It felt like a true home from home, and by the end of our stay we genuinely didnt want to leave. What really sets this place apart, however, are the owners. They could not have been more welcoming, helpful, or accommodating throughout our stay. Nothing was ever too much trouble. They went out of their way to ensure our car could be charged and even purchased tools so that we could enjoy a BBQ. Any request we had was met with kindness and a genuine desire to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. The combination of breathtaking surroundings, outstanding accommodation, and truly exceptional hosts makes this a very special place. We would recommend it without hesitation to anyone looking to stay in the wider area. Five stars simply dont seem enough. Hide

A lovely, cosy and very well appointed cottage. The outside space is superb, breakfast outside, relax on the loungers or in the hot tub - definitely would recommend the cottage. We had a great weekend relaxing and exploring the area, which is famous Bront country.

The Stable is perfect for a peaceful getaway. It has been finished to a high quality and is extremely comfortable. Kitted out with everything you need for a home away from home break. With two dogs, there was plenty of outdoor space for them to wander about securely. Definitely one on the revisit list.
