Great location

95% of recent guests gave the location a 5-star rating.

Ground floor apartment in an 18th century Pennine farmhouse on the edge of the moors at the heart of Brontë Country. A Yorkshire hideaway remote from all roads, it is ideal for couples and small families wanting peace and open countryside.

The space
The large bed/sitting/dining room is centrally heated and makes a comfortable office and study if needed, with tall windows facing south onto the garden. Period features include an antique court cupboard and carved wooden frieze. Modern features include large double bed, wi-fi internet, Freesat TV and a good selection of DVDs. There is a small safe for valuables.

Whilst ideal for couples, the Flat can accommodate 2 singles (or a couple plus child) by opening out the sofa as a second bed. A travel cot is also available.

Guests should indicate if they need the second bed, to ensure that a duvet and linen can be made available.

The kitchen has electric cooker, microwave, fridge and washing machine. The shower room has shower, wash basin and WC, with extractor fan and heated towel rail.

Detailed information is collected in a welcome folder.

Where you’ll be

Stanbury, United Kingdom

Whitestone Farm lies at 800ft under the edge of Haworth Moor, close to the Pennine watershed dividing Yorkshire from Lancashire. Stand at the Flat kitchen window for a beautiful view across the valley showing other small farms picked out against a landscape of steep fields dotted with sheep.

From the Flat you can walk for miles on public paths and open access moorland. The Pennine Way National Trail is 400 yards away, and the Brontë Way runs past the back fence. Yet civilization is never far away: the nearest pub is a 15 minute walk, and the Brontë village of Haworth is 2.5 miles by road. The Yorkshire Dales National Park is just 20 miles to the north.

For Brontë enthusiasts the whole area is crammed with interest. The Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth marked the 200th birthdays of the four Bronte children between 2016 and 2020 and our visitors can walk to several historic sites associated with the Brontë novels: Top Withins, Wycoller Hall, Ponden Hall and the Brontë Waterfalls.

A 30-minute walk takes you to Ponden Kirk, a dramatic precipice with rock outcrops and cascades associated with Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights.

I am a freelance photographer and landscape filmmaker. My wife Judith and I have lived here since 1983, gradually developing the property and creating flexible creative working spaces for our own activities. In addition to letting the Flat we hire a barn studio to arts and community groups for occasional workshops and study days.
