Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests unanimously commend the property for its exceptional cleanliness, with one review specifically highlighting it as the cleanest property they've ever stayed in.
The location is celebrated for its picturesque views and proximity to Haworth and other attractions, though access via a bumpy road and overgrown paths is mentioned as a minor inconvenience.
The comfort of Windyways is frequently mentioned, with guests finding the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy, contributing to a relaxing stay.
The cottage is well-equipped, though comments about the lack of a washing machine and challenges with the television suggest room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
While guests express overall satisfaction with their stay, there are no specific mentions of gifts or extra thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so it is not possible to score this category.

Exceptionally clean. Everything is within the property that you would need for a stay away from home, the bed is very comfortable and the views beautiful. A very cosy place to stay. Parking on the drive, under the car port is always a bonus for me We will not hesitate to come back in the future as there is so much to do round and about, staying at Windyways just made our break so much nicer. Would recommend to anybody who is visiting the area.

The children enjoyed the Roald Dahl book collection and the views were stunning. Lovely shower with plenty of hot water when needed and kitchen is well equipped and lovely comfie beds in all rooms. Very friendly neighbours and helpful housekeeping team locally when needed. Great location for walks and visiting local attractions with a lovely peaceful sanctuary to relax when home. Path to house is steep but well lit and maintained. Thank you.
