Property code: 89955

Occupying a peaceful position on the outskirts of Oxenhope, this beautiful cottage offers the ideal base for solo escapades or a romantic break for two – with your four-legged friends in tow. Cosy and welcoming, this two-storey cottage is perfectly placed for exploring the countryside and attractions of Bronte Country, while offering a delightful base to relax and unwind after a day’s exploring.

Approached via a small front courtyard, as you step through the front door of this beautiful bolthole, you’re welcomed into an entrance hall with space to store coats, shoes and leads. Snuggle up after country walkies in the inviting lounge, your beloved pups stretched out in front of the wood burner while you watch a film. Alternatively, enjoy a cuppa or glass of something cool in the beautiful back garden, sitting among the flowerbeds with birdsong all around. The modern, fresh kitchen has everything you need to prepare delicious home-cooked meals and some tasty titbits for your faithful friends, then dine at the table overlooking the garden or outside when the weather is good. When it’s time to retire, head up the cottage-style stairs and sink into the four-poster double bed for a restful night’s sleep. Keep your binoculars on hand in the morning as you sit in the upstairs reading room overlooking the garden, then enjoy a refreshing shower before heading downstairs for breakfast.

A delightful location for walkers, cyclists and adventurous pups, there are several scenic trails and cycle routes right on your doorstep, while the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway welcomes steam train lovers and their well-behaved dogs. Home of the Bronte sisters, it’s only 2 miles to Haworth if you want to amble around the atmospheric cobbled streets, while Bronte Country and the Yorkshire Dales both offer an abundance of walking and outdoors activities.

Lovely welcome pack and tidy clean cottage but located on a busy road. The very small, very shaded court yard garden is accessed via steep cellar steps or from the front door and around the side....disappointing for a summer stay

We had a wonderful week in Merdale Cottage. Oxenhope is a gorgeous village, the Co-op well stocked, the pubs welcoming. The Sunday lunch at The Lamb was very generous and totally delicious and the pizzas (Thursday night) the best I have ever tasted. The dog loved the walk up by the reservoir (just up the hill) and Penistone Hill Country Park (off lRead moreead, moors and rabbits...). We had a lovely welcome (plus dog) in the Parish Church and loved coming 'home' to the cottage each day. Thank you. Hide

Well equipped , charming cottage set in beautiful scenery . Easily walkable to the village . However , it is on a busy road and the traffic noise is significant, especially early in the morning . Access to the garden- which is nicely landscaped - was not ideal - either via steep stone stairs through the basement or through the side access going outRead more of the front garden into the road and across the parking space .

This is a lovely house. It is very spacious and it was great to have a dressing room. The reading room is an extra bonus with binoculars provided by the host so you can enjoy the views. We spotted a deer and it was fun to look down on the birds! It is comfortable, warm and has everything you need. Thank you

End of terrace house on a narrow road, busy during rush hours. Not noisy but difficult to negotiate with a lively dog. There was a strange smell on entering the property (damp?). The garden is accessed via steep cellar steps. Nice welcome pack. Well-equipped kitchen and bathroom. Comfy bed, inviting sitting room. We had constant drizzle but there aRead morere some nice walks nearby, and the bus service to Haworth/Hebden Bridge is reliable. Railway station and Co-op easy to walk to. Hide
