The Vestry Stunning Chapel with Hot Tub

Relax and Enjoy this Homely Spacious Chapel Conversion which offers a home from home feel, The house has ample space to sleep 12 with a great living kitchen diner where the whole party can sit and relax. The large well stocked kitchen and living room which gives a unique chance for all guests to mix in one communal area. The house is large enough for groups to relax in different areas if preferred. Well behaved dogs are welcome.

Garden Area
In summer the garden offers a great opportunity for BBQs and a great seating area that you can all enjoy. The hot tub also adds a little fun to your stay.

The chapel is in a great peaceful village location yet just 2 miles from the famous cobbled streets of Haworth where you will find an abundance of cafes, pubs and curiosity shops and the famous Bronte parsonage where the famous writers the Bronte sisters home can be visited.

The Worth Valley railway is just a short walk down the hill and can be caught from Oxenhope train station and a short ride to Haworth and a pleasant walk through central park will get you to the cobbled main street.

For those who love the outdoors The Vestry is situated across from the Leeming reservoir where you can walk with the dogs with ease. The Bronte Waterfalls in Haworth is a great circular walk where you take in the wonderful views over the valley and drop in at a country pub for a drink on route in the tiny village of Stanbury. Haworth moors are great too and the views can be breath taking.

Just a short car or bus ride away is Hebden Bridge which is well worth a visit for the more adventurous a lovely walk there is great but not for the faint hearted.

The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 6 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

What a wonderful time we had celebrating mum's 90th birthday with the family. The Vestry was absolutely perfect for us all, plenty of room, loads of character and superb location. The hot tub certainly got plenty of use too. Karen kept in touch and was a great host. Hopefully we'll come back again in the near future.

Fabulous weekend

We had a fabulous long weekend at The Vestry celebrating my dad's 80th. The house was an excellent size to accommodate all the family (10 of us), with the living area being a great size for our celebrations, and relaxing. The hot tub was a welcome addition and was well used throughout. The kitchen was well equipped for all of our cooking needs whilst there. There are a lot of stairs to get to all of the various bedrooms, not a problem for most, but my parents had to use the first floor bedroom. I'm pleased to say we didn't do much exploring over the weekend due to the fantastic weather, so we spent a lot of time in the back garden watching deer, pheasants and curlews. Wouldn't hesitate to return.

our stay at the vestry

We had a very nice stay ,in this lovely loccation the cottage was large and clean , however on arrival we found the dryer was not working, rang the host several times and left messages and e mails.We had no reply or any contact during our stay ,so dryer remained broken ( frustrating ). Also a minor irk was there was no tin opener.A welcome pack would have been nicer than a download.The host scored 0 but the stay was nice

Fab weekend away in this lovely house!

The property is situated in a lovely, peaceful spot. On Friday night when we arrived, sat having drinks in the garden we were lucky enough to see a mother deer and her fawn skipping up the fields behind us. The house was well equipped and had everything we needed, large spacious bedrooms and a lovely hot tub. We had lunch in the dog and gun pub just up the road and the food was delicious. We then called at the Lamb just over the road for a quick drink before going back to enjoy the house. The host (Karen) was so helpful, she was easy to contact and got back to me with any questions I had and sent us a list of restaurants and takeaways which we used on the Friday night. I would definitely recommend this place!

Group mini break

Booked this house for 2 nights for 4 adults and 9 children of varying ages including 3 babies. The house is beautiful and very well equipped. We were unlucky with the weather and so we were inside a fair bit. We did spend some time in central park. We ate at the Dog and Gun and the staff there were so lovely and accommodating. The food was lovely. The host was so helpful both before and during the trip. Communication was quick and easy and she was so accommodating and understanding. Perfect aside from the weather!

Fantastic stay, helpful hosts, great house

We had a great time staying at the Vestry, the house is clean with good sized rooms and comfortable beds. The hot tub was fantastic and really made the weekend for me and my friends. Karen was helpful, coming over to help reset the oven when it wasn’t turning on due to power going off. This was an easy fix but maybe worth including in the house guide. Overall, thank you for a fantastic weekend and would definitely stay again!

Family getaway

Just come back from a lovely weekend, what a beautiful house! Everything was spotlessly clean, the kitchen facilities were great although we didn’t really do much cooking. Bedrooms were beautifully decorated and the beds very comfortable. Garden was brilliant for the dogs as there was a gate at the top of the drive you could close off so they couldn’t get out. Would say very small dogs could possibly squeeze through the bottom but we just put something up against it to stop this and kept an eye on them at all times. The hot tub was a fantastic addition which the kids (and adults) loved. The surrounding area is lovely, we had a walk around the small reservoir nearby. There’s are also 2 pubs in walking distance but we didn’t end up having time to try these. Karen was easy to reach and answered all questions I had before and during our stay. Overall everyone said what a fantastic weekend it had been so thank you very much and hopefully we’ll be back again soon.

Excellent accommodation and location!!

We stayed at the Vestry as party of 9, for my brother-in-law's 60th birthday. The house is spacious, warm and cosy and enjoyed the outside hot-tub. Location Is an excellent base to explore the surrounding Yorkshire scenery and within easy walking distance to Howarth with local pubs and places to eat. We would be happy to visit again and recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing break.
