  We were very shocked and disappointed on arrival at this cottage.

  The outside was extremely unkempt. There were weeds and dried leaves in the front. The gate needed varnishing. The windows had water running down the inside. It looked as though the double glazing had blown. They obviously need replacing. The windows were dirty. The front door needed varnishing. The glass in the front door needed cleaning. There was green mould on the picnic bench and seat in the front. The front of the cottage was not very inviting at all. Nothing like the pictures on the website. The table in the living room for two people was more like one would use for camping. It wasn't very clean. It was right in front of the window and if one wanted to have a meal, there was no privacy as there are a lot of people passing on foot. If the windows are repaired, a blind might be appropriate. The microwave wasn't working when we tried to use it. We rang the owners wife and she told us her husband would purchase a new one and drop it in. He arrived with the microwave. We asked did he want to check it was working but he seemed to be in a hurry. He told us to just set it up ourselves and put the old one in the box outside in the front. That just added to the outside looking more unkept. On removal of the old microwave we were horrified to find something spilled there very congealed. There was a mound of crumbs and a big spider ran out. This had obviously not been cleaned for a long time. There are health and safety issues in an unclean kitchen.The kitchen floor was not clean. There was a plastic bottle behind the bin and some chipolatas on the floor. We had to clean the kitchen ourselves with antibacterial spray and wipes. There were a few live crawling woodlice on the stairs. The bathroom was in need of maintenance . It needed painting there were marks on the skirting boards. The taps on the bath were stiff and hard to turn on and off. The hot tap was swivelling around on turning on and off. The seal on the shower screen needs replacing. It was preventing movement over the bath. The window ledges in the bedrooms were dirty. We cleaned them ourselves. There was thick dust on the back.of the mirror in the larger bedroom. The tops of the bedside cabinets weren't very clean. The mattress on the bed was thin and the springs were sticking in our back. It needs replacing. The iron bedstead was very uncomfortable and noisy. If of all these issues were addressed then the cottage would be of a higher standard meriting more stars It is only a ten to fifteen minutes walk into Howarth. There is a good bus service on the road nearby. There is also a lovely pub a few minutes away with good food and a handy corner shop. We have stayed in a number of Sykes Cottages over the years and generally we have never given a bad review.

  We stayed at 8 Lune Street in May this year.

  We found the description to be fairly accurate but the description of the garden wasn't quite correct. We stayed with my dog and were hoping for a safe and enclosed garden space attached to the cottage but this so. The garden is separate and not secure although it is a nice space the dog couldn't be off the lead around the house. There is however a bridleway very close at the end of the layby in front of the cottage. The cottage itself was lovely, the fire fabulous and warm, and the cottage clean and comfortable. There is a supplier of logs just up the road from the cottage too to restock the fire. The road outside can be noisy at peak times but with windows closed it wasn't too bad. We feel the tv could maybe be more beneficial being connected to the internet as it is just basic channels. We got around this using a laptop and HTMI lead connected to the wifi which had a good signal. This worked fine to watch internet tv. There is a resident pussy cat 2 doors down so if anyone has a dogs particularly adverse to cats please be aware. Overall, we had a fabulous stay at this cottage and wouldn't hesitate to rebook. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a cottage close to lovely walks but still within easy reach of the cities etc. Many thanks to the owner of this cottage for a great stay.

  Haworth was a beautiful place to stay and the location of the cottage was good.

  The cottage itself wasn’t up to standard. First impression of outside looked scruffy, weeds and untidy baskets, broken gate and leaves/litter. All the windows were misted up/broken down and need replacing. Woodlice both dead and alive crawling in the property. Kitchen bin not emptied and floor not cleaned. Smell to the property like heavy smoker has lived there. All lights and skirting boards dusty/cobwebs. Bed wasn’t a king size as advertised, bedding all ok, bathroom ok…serviceable but ceiling needed cleaning and painting and the bedroom one also. Needs a good clean under all furniture which I would of done myself but only small hand held vacuum available to use. We made the best of the stay and out most of the day, didn’t cook in the kitchen, lucky with the weather so we were able to leave windows open. Wouldn’t return to this cottage, it’s the first time we have ever been disappointed with accommodation in over 30yrs! The locals made the holiday as all so friendly we would definitely return to this area.

  This was our second stay at Chloe’s Cottage and really enjoyed it!

  Location is brilliant for the Main Street of Haworth, just 2 minutes walk from the front door! Cottage was very clean and comfortable and decorated for Christmas which was lovely :) Lovely welcome pack, milk, bread, wine and beers, very much appreciated thank you! Spacious backyard for dogs and to sit out but we’ve stayed in March and December so didn’t use the outside space :( Other guests have commented on the lack of parking but to be honest it’s not a problem if you can park in the Parsonage Museum Car Park and use the Ringo app, reasonable cost of up to £40 for a weeks stay. We didn’t use the car at all as everything we wanted to do was on the doorstep! Can recommend The Hawthorn restaurant for a fabulous Sunday lunch and The Steam Brewery, The Fleece and The Black Bull for food and drinks. Please note Mondays and Tuesdays you will find a few pubs not serving food and some shops not open but it isn’t a problem if you plan ahead. Definitely recommend a stay at Chloe’s Cottage, you won’t be disappointed:)

  Very comfortable cottage.

  Well equipped throughout; kitchen is well planned for a small space. Obviously no room for a dishwasher or washing machine. Only thing I would have liked was a clothes airer - worth bringing if you're coming by car and want to use the hot tub a lot. Packed lots of extra towels (need to shower before and after using the hot tub) and swimming costumes but it was hard to get them dry. The information sent out in advance of arrival was really useful. Travelled there by public transport - taxi from the Oakworth Steam Railway station was only £5. About 20 mins walk to the bus stop, frequent service to Keighley every 12 minutes, and hourly buses to Haworth. Can also get to Hebden Bridge by bus from Haworth. Beautiful walks directly from the cottage; the West Yorkshire countryside is stunning.
