The Ultimate Autumn Escape
Two nights, two dinners, a welcome drink, £25 towards a treatment and a lie-in on the last morning. The house at its best time of year, with more of it included.
Make the most of your stay, more time to relax
There’s so much to do and explore that we’ve included early check-in and late check-out, so you can do as much, or as little, as you like. Enjoy lunch from the Garden menu or try our famous traditional afternoon tea. Wander the grounds, explore the house. Beyond the hotel you can take in the sights at Haworth, stroll across the windswept moors, discover the majesty of the Piece Hall and so much more. You’ll find plenty of ideas on our local attractions page.
A drink to start
A welcome drink comes with your key. Choose whatever will make you feel at home, be that a pint, a glass of wine or a pot of tea. Then find a quiet nook or a cosy corner and pore over our brochures about the history of the house, past and present, and the places of interest on the doorstep. For the more adventurous, we have a collection of beautifully illustrated walking maps that trace the footsteps of the Brontës, Anne Lister or even the Cragg Vale Coiners.
Dinner, both nights
With £40 per person towards dinner on both nights you can sample the best of local produce, prepared by our award-winning chefs. Our seasonal à la carte has something for everyone, and we can cater for most dietary requirements on request. Enjoy the autumn menu and the chef’s specials the first night, then perhaps the dry-aged steaks, the sumptuous house burger or simple fish and chips the other. It’s completely up to you. See the latest menu.
Two nights in a bed you won’t want to leave
Each of our 32 bedrooms is uniquely appointed, with no two the same. Our House rooms have William Morris wallpapers, cosy occasional chairs, a writing desk and modern bathrooms. If you want a bit more space or something special, you can upgrade to a split-level or executive suite when you book. If you’ve stayed with us before and have a favourite room, just let us know. We’ll always do our best to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
Unwind at The Farmhouse, a special experience
The Farmhouse Treatment Rooms are a short walk through the gardens. Unlike the large commercial spas, you won’t find crowds of people at The Farmhouse. Instead the whole experience is focused on peace and exclusivity. Enjoy one of our GROUND Wellbeing massage or facial rituals, tailored to your personal needs, then sink into one of our serene relaxation lounges, cosy up by the fire, slip on a heated eye mask and relax. We also have a private soak room and an infrared sauna suite that can be booked by the hour, just for you. With a £25 credit towards a treatment or a product to take home, this is the perfect opportunity to discover The Farmhouse.
Autumn, outside the gates
Haworth and the Brontë Parsonage are twenty minutes away; Hebden Bridge and Hardcastle Crags the same. David Hockney’s 20 Flowers is free at Salts Mill until 17 January 2027, the Piece Hall has its markets on 24 and 25 October and its Christmas Market from 13 November, and Yorkshire Sculpture Park is half an hour. The what’s on list below has the dates. Not sure what to visit? Just ask any member of our team and they’ll be more than happy to share a little local knowledge and point you in the right direction.
Breakfast, then nothing until noon
With late check-out at 12 noon included, your final morning can be as relaxed as the rest of your stay. Savour a Yorkshire breakfast cooked to order, a second coffee, a walk round the parterre gardens and a quick chat with a member of the team, who can answer any remaining questions or perhaps suggest a place to stop on the way home.
What’s on this autumn, and how far it is from the door
Our top ideas for the season, with the dates. Ask at reception for more; the team know what is on this week.
David Hockney at Salts Mill, Saltaire
Hockney’s work lives on in the city where he was born. 20 Flowers for 2025 and Some Bigger Pictures fills the galleries at Salts Mill: the iPad flower paintings, the big landscapes and a film of him at work. The mill sits in the UNESCO World Heritage village of Saltaire, with independent shops and a bookshop worth the drive on its own. Open Wednesday to Sunday, 10am to 5pm (9.30am at weekends), and there are rarely any queues. For the satnav use BD17 7DR.

Yorkshire Sculpture Park
Five hundred acres of parkland with art in it, and one of the best places in the country to see sculpture outdoors. This autumn: Hold to This Earth, the first major UK show of contemporary Indigenous North American art (65 works by 38 artists, in the Underground Gallery until 18 April 2027); Nicola Turner’s Time’s Scythe, wool and horsehair tendrils spilling from the bell tower of the 18th-century Chapel; Annie Montgomerie’s hand-crafted animal figures in Missies and Nippers; and Jakob Rowlinson’s leather butterflies, ROTATOR. The last three run until 1 November.
What’s on at YSPThe Piece Hall, Halifax
The oldest surviving Georgian cloth hall in the country and one of the most spectacular buildings in the north, open every day for its independent shops and cafés. The Real Markets fill the piazza on 24 and 25 October, and the Christmas Market opens on 13 November and runs every Friday to Sunday until 20 December, with the lights on and the bars open.
What’s on at the Piece Hall
Brontë Parsonage Museum, Haworth
The Brontës’ home, with the exhibition The Colonial Brontës running until 1 January 2027, and an autumn of evening talks: Poetry at the Parsonage on 24 October, production designer Grant Montgomery on recreating the Parsonage for the screen on 30 October, a Victorian Christmas with Lucinda Dickens Hawksley on 26 November and wreath-making on 28 and 29 November. Closed Tuesdays. Haworth’s cobbled main street and the moors above it are the walk afterwards.
What’s on at the Parsonage
Shibden Hall, Halifax
Anne Lister’s home, where Gentleman Jack was filmed, closes for the winter on 3 November, so autumn is the last chance this year. Ninety acres of park around it, landscaped under her direction, with a café, a boating lake and a miniature railway. Our Shibden Hall Break puts the tickets in the booking.
The Shibden Hall Break
Hebden Bridge and Hardcastle Crags
The best autumn colour in the valley: the National Trust woods at Hardcastle Crags, the stepping stones and Gibson Mill, then Hebden Bridge for lunch and the independent shops. Dogs welcome on leads. Reception has the walking maps.

“We had a lovely few days here celebrating our golden wedding anniversary. All the staff were very friendly and professional. The food was delicious and the room was pleasant and spotless.”
Michelle Horton, on GoogleSeven questions, answered
Do we have to stay two nights?
Yes, the Autumn Escape is for a minimum of two nights. Three or more is fine: extra nights are from £214 a night (our Overnight Stay With Dinner rate), added on the booking page, and the dinner allowance applies every evening.
How does the spa credit work?
£25 comes off a treatment or a GROUND Wellbeing product at The Farmhouse Treatment Rooms. Book the treatment before you arrive, because the rooms are small and the diary fills: ring reception or reply to your confirmation email.
What is the welcome drink?
A voucher for a drink each from the bar when you arrive: a glass of Prosecco, a gin and tonic, a pint, a soft drink or a pot of tea.
Can we book it for a weekend?
Yes, if the dates are free. Friday and Saturday nights cost more than Sunday to Thursday; the booking page shows the total for your two nights before you pay.
When does the offer end?
The last night is 30 November 2026. Search two nights on the booking page and the Ultimate Autumn Escape rate appears; if it doesn’t, the dates are outside the offer.
Does the room have a bath or a shower?
It depends on the room. Some have a bath with a shower over it, some a walk-in shower, and a few have both: the split-level suites all have a bath with a shower over it, three of the executive suites have a bath and a separate walk-in shower, and the other three a large walk-in shower. Tell us which you’d prefer when you book. If the room you’re given isn’t right, just say at reception and if there’s something else free we’ll happily move you.
What if we need to cancel?
Packages are paid in full when you book. Cancel seven days or more before arrival and the whole amount is refunded; inside seven days there is no refund. Ring reception on 01422 240024 if your dates need to move and we will do what we can.
