19 nights accommodation on a twin share basis with ensuite facilities where available
The hotels described are our usual accommodation, however if these are not available then alternatives are used. Rooms generally do not have baths. The main reason being that they take up a lot of space, some hotels/guesthouses may have a separate room in the house where a bath is available to guests, but in the main it is showers. Note that a lot of the villages on the route are very popular with limited accommodation. This may mean that we cannot get you into the accommodation described below for the dates of your tour. We will endeavor to get you into a similar standard of accommodation nearby. Also, although we aim to get you into accommodations with ensuite rooms this is not always possible, at a few places on your tour you may be sharing bathrooms, particularly if you are in a single room.
Suggested rest stops: Must be requested at the time of booking.

PONDEN (HAWORTH): An extra night in Ponden would be the ideal location to see more of Haworth, you may not have time on the original itinerary to see this. Haworth; Home of the famous Brontë sisters, Haworth is an undisputed literary mecca, attracting visitors from all around the world. With its historic cobbled Main Street.
