Overview

This beautifully presented cottage provides the perfect romantic getaway to explore this wonderful part of West Yorkshire.

Discover this delightful Grade II-listed original mill worker’s cottage, situated in the heart of Sir Titus Salt’s model Victorian village in Saltaire - recently used in the filming of the 2022 sequel to 'The Railway Children'. Saltaire is a World Heritage Site and The Saltaire Mill complex is a main feature of the village, which houses a vast collection of David Hockney artworks, along with several cafes, restaurants and small independent shops. The village of Saltaire has many great restaurants, cafes, a deli and boutique shops, as well as events throughout the year. The Saltaire Festival in mid-September is two weeks of live music, markets, performance and culture, there is really something for everyone. And Christmas sees the Saltaire Living Advent where houses, shops, churches, and schools dress their windows with festive scenes. The area is a paradise for anyone who enjoys the outdoors with many tracks and trails straight from the doorstep, and the popular village of Howarth with its stunning Bronte Falls walk is only 8 miles away.

Stepping into this charming cottage, you are greeted by a cosy lounge with a wood burner-effect electric fire, ideal for relaxing in after a long day exploring the local area. Move through to the bright and spacious kitchen with a delightful coffee nook, one of the original features of the property. It is equipped with everything you could need including an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge with freezer compartment and Nespresso coffee machine. Retreat upstairs to the beautifully decorated bedroom with a double bed, fully in keeping with the Victorian style of the cottage. To complete the interior is a stylish bathroom with a roll-top bath with shower attachment and WC.

Moving outside, there is a quaint patio area with furniture, the ideal spot to relax in the evening and enjoy a BBQ or glass of wine. There is off-road parking at the rear of the property for one car and further roadside parking at the front. There is also a shed for secure cycle storage.

A very comfortable and perfectly equipped cottage for two. Part of the Saltaire estate so you really feel part of the mills history. Ideally placed for exploring Saltaire and we also ventured to Ilkley Moor and the Piece Hall in Halifax. Thoroughly recommended for a short break.

A lovely little cottage. Everything you needed was there & more. It was warm & cosy in the bitter weather & everything was very clean. Ideally positioned for public transport & nice walks. The only thing that would have been nice was to have a proper shower, found the bath difficult. Would definitely stay again if in area.

Bobin Cottage is a great little cosy property for 2. We enjoyed our stay very much and hope to return in 2024. Cottage had all that was required for our 2 weeks, including a nice welcoming tray and refreshed linen for the 2nd week. Convenient for local amenities, world heritage mill site and railway station.
