Mrs Fig's House is located 3 miles from Haworth with its independent shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes. The Worth Valley Railway, made famous by the Railway Children, is close by and literary enthusiasts can walk the moors in the steps of the Bronte Sisters and visit the Parsonage where they all lived.
Beautiful scenery is in all directions with Skipton and the Yorkshire Dales to the north and the Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, in Lancashire, to the west. To the south is the quirky town of Hebden Bridge and to the east is the World Heritage site of Saltaire with the Hockney Gallery. All these places are within a half an hour's drive away.
There are walks from the door in all directions including moorland, pasture land, round reservoirs and along various way marked trails. Keen walkers can pick up the Pennine Way, just a short stroll across the fields, to walk into Haworth or to enjoy a drink and a meal at one of several local rural pubs. If in a less energetic mood, stunning views can be enjoyed from the cottage itself. There is a huge variety of birds that visit the garden and through the spring and summer, ground nesting birds such as curlews and oystercatchers are welcome visitors.
Guests who stay at Mrs Fig's House love the ambience of the cottage and appreciate all the work that has gone into its refurbishment. They enjoy the peaceful surroundings, open views, stunning walks from the door and the proximity to great places to enjoy local history, good food and drink.

Mrs Fig's House
By Bryan on 12-Apr-2026Mrs Fig’s House is a wonderful place to stay. You can make it what you will: a base from which to walk onto the Pennine Way; a centre to explore Brontë country; an easy link to culture in Bradford and Wakefield and beyond. We did all of these. What we really enjoyed though was sitting and watching ducks, oystercatchers, rabbits and soon to lamb sheep from the private patio and upstairs sitting area looking out onto the moors. The house is just perfect if you like to cook, with a very well equipped kitchen and comfortable living room, with a relaxing wood burning stove. This was a much needed peaceful few days. You come back to your life revitalised after seeing some beautiful and interesting places. Sarah and John are considerate hosts and should be so proud of what they have created as the house has been beautifully renovated using existing and locally sourced materials and really compliment the outdoor landscape, indoors. Everyone says that they’ll be back and we do! Thank you!

By Elizabeth on 15-Dec-2025Fantastic stay with lovely welcoming hosts. The cottage is even nicer than pictures, and really cosy during winter when we stayed. We loved walking and coming back to a warm home with gorgeous range cooker and wood burning stove. Beautiful decor with special details and local art. Well equipped and had plenty of hooks on doors which so few holiday lets have!!! Highly recommend this gorgeous peaceful gem.
Fantastic little cottage on the moors.
By Mark on 16-Mar-2026Everything about the cottage was spot on, comfortable lounge area, well equipped kitchen, very comfortable bed and loved the seating area upstairs. The bathroom was a little cosy but the shower had a good flow of hot water. Didn’t realise there was no TV so had four evenings of doing jigsaw puzzles with the other half, with all the doom and gloom on the TV we didn’t really miss it. Internet connection was great. Overall a fantastic peaceful place to stay listening to the Lapwings in the field next to Mrs Figs Cottage.

By Shelley on 04-Jan-2025We were absolutely thrilled with short stay at Mrs Fig’s House! Sarah was a wonderful host, ready to greet us with homebaked delicious flapjacks & bread! We cooked our own meal, on the first night & lit the cosy log burner. Everything that we needed was supplied & the cottage was extremely warm, even in the very cold winter temperatures. The cottage is in short driving distance of Haworth, where the Bronte Parsonage Museum is situated, alongside lots of wonderful independent shop’s & restaurants. Sadly, due to the extreme weather warning, we had to cut our visit short, but we will definitely be back!
