My wife and I have lived in Canada for 40 years, but were born and bred just east of Manchester and we both grew up on farms. We are now retired and decided to come back to our roots to buy a little of "God's Country". We have travelled a great deal and always come back to Yorkshire and the Haworth area. Perfectly situated to visit Yorkshire, the Dales and the Lake District. Our vision was to make this our bolt hole for 5 or 6 weeks a year, then the rest of the time we would let it out.
After buying in June 2017 we came back to the house in Oct/Nov for 4 weeks to upgrade and improve the house to make it feel every bit like "home away from home." My wife Pam said we have never worked so hard on 'getting the place right." We had a dead line of 4 weeks and with the help of a local home improvement contractor we managed it just in time!!
Pam loves the local history and natural beauty of the area and has loads of information about West Yorkshire and the Dales. She has found many fabulous dining establishments...I think we have taste tested each every place there is to try.From pub grub, high teas, fine dining down to the best farm shops in the area! This will save you lots of time on your first visit!
