Haworth Hotels: Where to Stay in West Yorkshire

Haworth is a small West Yorkshire village on a steep cobbled hill, and the Brontë family shaped its story. Most hotels in Haworth are old pubs and inns with a handful of rooms, plus a few guest houses. We found no large chain hotels in the village. This guide lists the places to stay in Haworth we could confirm from two or more sources, flags the gaps, and explains how to choose. Rates change daily, so we do not quote them. Always call to confirm details before you book.

Hotels in Haworth: What We Could Confirm

Where to Stay in Haworth: Quick Overview

We found no large chain hotels and no motels in Haworth. The village sells rooms in historic inns, small hotels, and guest houses along Main Street and West Lane. Many are old buildings with steep stairs and small rooms. Book early for weekends and school holidays, because the room count in each building is low.

We checked three properties in detail: the Black Bull Inn, the Fleece Inn, and the Old White Lion Hotel. We then list other guest houses and inns named by tourism sites, but we could not confirm their room details. We say so plainly in each case.

Black Bull Inn: Pub Rooms on Main Street

The Black Bull stands at 119 Main Street, Haworth, BD22 8DP. The Campaign for Real Ale lists four en-suite bed and breakfast rooms. Call the pub on 01535 644254 to ask about availability.

The same listing names a garden and terrace overlooking Main Street, lunchtime and evening meals, Wi-Fi, parking, and cask ale. Dogs are welcome except in the food service areas. A ramp serves the rear doors, but the listing notes no disabled toilets. Haworth station sits about 500 metres away and the nearest bus routes sit about 250 metres away.

A local pub guide describes the Black Bull as a 16th century inn at the top of Main Street, and says Branwell Brontë drank here. We could not check the room sizes, bed types, or check-in times, so ask when you call. Noise can rise on Friday and Saturday nights because the bar stays open until midnight on those days.

Fleece Inn: Hotel-Style Stay near the Cobbles

The Fleece Inn stands at 67 Main Street, Haworth, BD22 8DA. The pub phone is 01535 642172. Tourism listings and the Campaign for Real Ale both confirm the pub offers rooms to visitors. Neither source gives room counts or sizes, so we cannot say how many rooms exist.

The pub serves food from noon, with the kitchen open until 8:30 PM Monday to Saturday and 7:30 PM on Sunday, according to the Campaign for Real Ale listing. Dogs are welcome and the pub provides treats and water bowls. Expect a real fire, newspapers, dominoes, and Wi-Fi. The entrance has one shallow step, and one area of the bar sits down steps.

Haworth station on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway lies about 450 metres away. The nearest bus route lies about 200 metres away. Ask the pub about breakfast, check-in times, and parking, because we found no confirmed details for those.

Old White Lion Hotel: Closest to the Brontë Parsonage

The Old White Lion Hotel is the best known small hotel in the village. Sources list two addresses. One travel site gives Main Street, Haworth, BD22 8DU. Expedia UK gives 6 to 10 West Lane, BD22 8DU. The postcode matches. Confirm the exact entrance when you book.

Expedia UK lists check-in from 2:00 PM to 9:30 PM and says after-hours check-in is not available. Check-out ends at 11:00 AM. Plan your arrival before 9:30 PM or ask the hotel for another arrangement.

Travel sites list an on-site restaurant and bar, free Wi-Fi, free parking, secured bike storage, a free English breakfast, hairdryers, flat-screen TVs, and tea and coffee in the rooms. Room types include family rooms and family suites for up to four guests, and standard rooms for up to two. The hotel does not accept pets, with service animals the only exception.

Listings place the Brontë Parsonage Museum about a one minute walk away, Haworth Parish Church about two minutes, and Penistone Hill Country Park about six minutes. These distances come from one travel site, so treat them as a guide. Because the hotel sits close to the museum, this is a strong pick if you plan to see the Parsonage first thing.

Other Guest Houses and Inns Named in Haworth

Tourism listings name several more places to stay in Haworth. We found them on two sources but could not confirm current room details, so call each before you plan around them.

The Old Registry Guest House sits at the bottom of Main Street, near the Keighley bus stop. The Apothecary Guest House sits at 86 to 90 Main Street. Weavers Guesthouse sits at 15 West Lane, close to the Brontë Parsonage Museum. The Old Sun Inn sits at 79 West Lane. Rosebud Cottage Guest House lies an eight minute walk from the museum, according to Booking.com. A local inn guide also names the Old Silent Inn, placed just outside the village by the same guide.

Booking.com also lists Leeming Wells Hotel on Long Causeway in Oxenhope. Oxenhope is a separate village at the end of the railway line, so Oxenhope is not Haworth itself. Steeton Hall Hotel and Restaurant sits in Steeton, again outside Haworth.

Places We Dropped from the Old Guide

An earlier version of this guide listed the Shoulder of Mutton and Cobbles and Moor Guest House. We could not find a reliable current source showing either one offers rooms in Haworth. We have removed both rather than guess. If you know either property is open, check its own website or call before you rely on a listing elsewhere.

We also changed how we describe the Black Bull and the Fleece. Old copy called them hotels with individually decorated rooms. The sources we found describe them as pubs with rooms, and only the Black Bull lists a room count.

Where to Stay Near the Brontë Parsonage Museum

The Brontë Parsonage Museum stands on Church Street, Haworth, BD22 8DR. The museum site lists opening Wednesday to Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM, with Monday and Tuesday closed. In January the museum opens only on Saturday and Sunday. The museum closes from 22 to 27 December. Hours change, so check the museum site before you travel.

Everything in this guide sits in or near the village centre. The Old White Lion lists the shortest walk to the museum. Main Street stays steep, so pack light shoes for the cobbles. If you arrive on a Monday or Tuesday, plan a moor walk or a rail trip instead of a museum visit.

Getting to Haworth and Getting Around

The Keighley and Worth Valley Railway runs a five mile heritage line from Keighley to Oxenhope. Stations are Keighley, Ingrow, Damems, Oakworth, Haworth, and Oxenhope. The railway station address is Haworth, BD22 8NJ. The railway site says you can book tickets ahead or buy them on the day. Check the timetable on the railway site before you plan a rail arrival.

Our sources confirm bus routes near both pubs, but we did not find route numbers or timetables. Check a current bus timetable if you plan to travel without a car. The Old White Lion lists free parking, and the Black Bull lists parking. Ask each property how many spaces exist and whether guests must reserve one.

How to Choose Hotels in Haworth

Start with your priorities. If you want a hotel with a restaurant and a breakfast, the Old White Lion lists both. If you want a pub atmosphere and a bar downstairs, pick the Black Bull or the Fleece. If you travel with a dog, the Black Bull and the Fleece both welcome dogs, while the Old White Lion does not.

Check noise and stairs. Old inns often have steep stairs and no lift. Ask the property if you need step free access. The Black Bull lists a ramp at the rear, but the Fleece entrance has one step.

Ask about late arrival. The Old White Lion lists no after-hours check-in. Pub rooms often work around bar hours, so tell the staff when you plan to arrive.

What We Checked and What We Could Not

We confirmed addresses, phone numbers, and facilities for the Black Bull and the Fleece from the Campaign for Real Ale listings. We matched both against Booking.com, Visit Haworth, and a local inn guide. We took Old White Lion details from two Expedia pages, a Booking.com listing, and Visit Haworth.

We could not confirm current room rates, because we do not quote them. We could not confirm check-in times for the two pubs. We could not reach the official hotel and pub websites, so some facts come from listing sites. Confirm every detail by phone before you book.
