My husband and I got married here. I also encountered a ghost in the Rose window room. I haven't been in again to check if it still there or not as it frightened me witless!
It is a beautiful house with lovely gardens and a tea room

Leeds is a great day out if you want to shop. It is easily accessed by train from Bingley Station if you prefer not to take the car.
I particularly like The Ivy in the Victoria Quarter of Leeds. The Leeds Arena is fantastic for concerts, me and Mr H have spent many happy evenings there

The Coniston Hotel
A great place for food
Tapas Tree Restaurant
Great tapas, my all time favourite local eatery
Harrogate and Betty's Tea room go hand in glove. There are other wonderful places to eat as well. The Ivy at Harrogate isn't as good as Leeds in my personal opinion

Eldwick is a suburb of Bingley yet has a village feel about it.
We have Mainline Border Collies on our doorstep bordercollies.co.uk if you want to sign up for a sheep dog handling experience.
There are many pleasant walks from the cottage doorstep including the Dales Way link which goes up to Ilkley Moor

Good food with great views over the area. Very close to the cottage but not within walking distance unless you like walking on narrow, busy country lanes
