Maple Leaf Cottage is a traditional stone built terraced Victorian house circa 1890. A few minutes walk from the historic and attractive village of Haworth West Yorkshire. This was the home village of the famous Bronte Family. The three sisters, one brother and father lived at the Parsonage and created many literary classics. Haworth's cobbled Main Street is lined with many charming individual shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants. At the end of the street is the Bronte Parsonage Museum, Haworth Church and Haworth Visitor Information Centre.

Haworth hosts many themed weekends throughout the year. The hugely popular 1940's weekend on May 18 - 21 is quite the spectacle, with all the shops and people dressed in the 1940's war period. There is also a 1960's weekend. Steampunk weekend, followed by Hawortheen at the end of October. Christmas is like walking into a scene from A Christmas Carol, with Scrogging the Holly and the Torchlight Procession.
