Mrs Fig’s House is a pretty 17th Century stone cottage sitting in the grounds of the owner's farmhouse close to the bustling village of Haworth in West Yorkshire. The owners have recently sympathetically refurbished the cottage using sustainable and environmental methods, bringing it into the 21st Century without losing its character and charm. Surrounded by views of moorland and pasture and with fantastic walks from the front door, it is the perfect retreat for couples looking for rural getaway. With a kingsize bedroom, fantastic open plan living area with a cosy log burner, and a modern kitchen which includes an Esse range cooker with an induction hob, it is the perfect blend of traditional charm with modern day creature comforts.
Located on the South Pennines, close to the moors frequented by the Bronte Sisters, it is rural bliss. There are stunning walks from the front door and it is just a ten minute stroll across the fields to the Pennine Way. Resident neighbours are the sheep and visitors at different times of the year are a significant variety of birds who nest in the garden or the surrounding fields and moorland. There is nothing more relaxing than sitting back with your morning cup of tea on a spring or early summer morning and listening to the sound of curlew, lapwing, oystercatchers, skylarks and even cuckoos. Various birds of prey can also occasionally be seen and heard, including a beautiful barn owl. When you are ready to rejoin civilisation it is just a ten minute drive to the historic village of Haworth with the world renowned Bronte Parsonage and its excellent pubs, shops and eateries. Spend a lazy afternoon exploring the cobbled streets, independent shops and tea rooms or hop on board the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway steam train and relive your memories of The Railway Children. There are more pubs just two miles away in the nearby villages of Stanbury and The Grouse Inn at Harehills has stunning views across the Worth Valley.
If you are looking to explore further afield, the market town of Hebden Bridge is ten miles away. It's a 20 minute scenic drive, or energetic souls can walk there across the moors! The ancient woodlands, open moorland and pretty villages in the Forest of Bowland and the Yorkshire Dales are within easy reach for a day out, whilst the coast is just over an hour away. For those craving a bit of history, art and culture, visit the World Heritage Site of Saltaire Village, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park or the Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield.
Mrs Fig’s House is a delight at any time of the year and with short breaks available all year round it is always a good time to visit.

Curlews, lapwings and oyster catchers are now in full voice and the swallows are swooping in and out of the barn to feed their young. With the history, shops and eateries of Haworth a short drive or scenic walk away, we would love to welcome you to the Worth Valley. We have availability in September when you can enjoy the heather on the moors right opposite the cottage or on the many walks straight from the door. Flexible arrival and departure days and short breaks available.
