Reviews
"A beautiful cottage at the top of Haworth. Very close to all amenities and quiet. The details about the cottage were good, giving us all the relevant information we needed for a good stay. When we arrived the cottage was warm and welcoming. Lovely and clean with lots of equipment in the kitchen. The owners were very helpful when we spoke to them about our stay. We have already recommended the cottage to our friends and will definitely be back. A great place to stay."
"My wife and I stayed in Haworth in the summer 2015 and enjoyed the place so much we booked a cottage last August as well. The Old Forge is not just any cottage but a real treat. It is actually an old Forge and in the lounge on the first floor you can see photo's of it as it was many years ago and the staff that worked there. The Kitchen on the ground floor is very large and has everything you could need. The lounge is lovely and comfy with Two large sofas and a woodburner (which we didn't need in August, but we are returning very soon in April so will enjoy that too. The lounge has a little passage/doorway leading upstairs to the bedroom and bathroom, as you leave the lounge you can open a huge old door which leads to a lovely sun terrace with tables and chairs. Upstairs a nice size bed awaits you after a long day in the Dales, and the bathroom is to die for with a huge bath and a double shower cubicle. the latter cam in so handy for me last year as I had a shoulder operation in May. The location couldn't be better with loads of pubs within a minute or two. The Black Bull was great as was the Fleece inn and my particular favourite The Old White Lion which is about 20 paces from the front door!! Couple this with your very own parking space and you have a real Gem of a place."
"A lovely cottage, with great facilities all that needed for a good break, close to all facilities and great pubs."
"We stayed at the Old Forge for one week at the beginning of May. The cottage is absolutely gorgeous and maintained to a high standard with luxury bed linen and towels. Even though we had a few rainy days during our stay, it wasn't an issue as the cottage is so relaxing and homely and is situated literally within one minute walk of three local pubs ! One of our faviurites was The Black Bull where the landlord and staff were very friendly. I would also recommend the meals at The Fleece located further down the main street as they were absolutely delicious and reasonably priced."
"My boyfriend and I had a super break in The Old Forge. The cottage, set over 3 floors is very spacious and is decorated to a very high standard. The bath is fantastic, and the log fire provided a perfect atmosphere for the much needed afternoon naps after walking around the moors! We loved the cottage and wanted to stay longer, a perfect re-treat to 'get away from it all'!"
"My wife and I honeymooned in The Dales three years ago so a return to Yorkshire was always something we wanted to do. The Old Forge in Haworth is perfectly located for a Christmas stay as it has all the convenience of the town with its restaurants, cafes and unusual shops, not to mention an array of welcoming pubs! We walked on the moors, followed in the footsteps of The Railway Children and had a fabulous Christmas lunch in The Old Haworth Hall. The house itself is warm, characterful and has modern conveniences of wi-fi and a good mobile signal. Sitting in the lounge with the woodburner roaring and enjoying a glass of mulled wine was a real treat. We loved the house and the location!"
"Fantastic Holiday cottage - very well equipped and a really romantic hideaway for two - looking forward to visiting again"
"We had the absolute pleasure in staying at the Old Forge duringthe Haworth 1940s Weekend and week after. What a wonderful house, village and event - I would strongly recommend all 3. The Forge was beautifully presented, very luxurious bathroom and tasteful soft furnighsings etc. The size of all the rooms were impressive and well decorated . Although the outside space was at the front and overlooked by the neighbours, it was a pretty square of houses and didn't deter us from sitting outside in the evening enjoying the area. The parking space out front was very convenient. The Forge is situated at the top of the village close to various pubs & restaurants and has easy connections to local tourist attractions. I would highly recommend The Forge and look forward to staying there again in the future."
"A charming cottage with superb amenities in an ideal location near the centre of Haworth. The cottage could not be faulted and is tastefully decorated and furnished and very comfortable. It is very well equipped and has everything you would require for a self catering holiday. The bathroom is beautiful, clean and modern. The owners could not be more helpfull. Highly recommended."
"This cottage was brilliant, we stayed for my birthday and our wedding anniversary. We got snowed in but the cottage was warm and very cosy. The bathroom in this place was out of this world (warning if your under 5'6" you may need someone in the bath with you as it's so big. We did manage to get out for my birthday and visited the local pub that was just a matter of yards away(no noise). The area is just beautiful and there are plenty of shops to visit. The only thing I would do next time is take a weeks food shopping with us if we went in winter as it was very difficult to get to the spar with the snow and ice. I would recommend this cottage to anyone and will be going again. The only thing I found was space for food storage in the kitchen that was a bit lacking and as the kitchen is so big it would not take much to add another unit or even a couple of shelves. The owners whom we spoke to are very friendly and there to help. I would say if your going to visit Yorkshire and the Bronte country you could not go wrong with this cottage, its very close to all amenities and right in the centre of the village."
