This cosy, quintessential cottage is nestled in the peaceful hills of East Morton and offers generous space for four guests and their canine companion. Full of colour, warmth and character, it pairs a welcoming wood burner and vibrant interiors with easy access to Yorkshire countryside walks and a friendly village pub serving hearty home-cooked scran.
Step inside this cheerful Yorkshire cottage and you’re met with bold colours, patterned wallpapers and playful details that give every room a lively, uplifting feel. Put the kettle on for a brew in the sleek kitchen, then carry it through to the open-plan lounge and warm up beside the wood burner after a day out on the Moors. Upstairs, two double bedrooms continue the colourful theme, while the striking bathroom turns things up another notch with Aztec-style tiles, a generous walk-in shower and a separate bath for soaking tired legs. There’s no private garden, but with Ilkley Moor, East Riddlesden Hall and welcoming village pubs close by, you can spend the day exploring Yorkshire before heading home for something good for tea and a cosy night in.
East Morton offers a brilliant base for keeping some of West Yorkshire’s best walking country within reach. For the keen walkers, Ilkley Moor (7 miles) has open moorland trails and the distinctive Cow and Calf Rocks, while Bingley Five Rise Locks (3 miles) offers an atmospheric walk beside the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. The Keighley & Worth Valley Railway (6.5 miles) is another local highlight, which winds its way through the rolling greenery towards Haworth, where you can stop off to admire its old-fashioned cobbled streets, boutique shops and the Brontë Parsonage Museum, and learn the stories of the renowned writers.
