Room in a home

Your own room in a home, plus access to shared spaces.
Ever dreamed of sleeping in the very room where a Brontë once stayed? Of walking in their footsteps?

Embrace this unique chance to stay in the very room in which all six Brontë children once resided. Blending period charm with modern comfort, it features an ornate four-poster bed, sash windows and a private en-suite.

Located in historic Thornton on the edge of stunning countryside, with beautiful walks, vibrant culture and a thriving food scene just steps away.

The space
The Brontë Birthplace is a thriving community space, a functioning heritage site, and a cafe. We offer the chance to stay in our three bedrooms, each designed to reflect the history of the house and the lives of one of the famous literary sisters.

Each room has been carefully and sympathetically restored to its original period charm, while being curated with modern comforts to ensure a peaceful, immersive and inspiring stay. Whether you’re a lifelong Brontë fan or simply someone seeking a unique escape, this is a truly rare opportunity to experience history from the inside.

While you are here why not book onto a tour the Birthplace, explore the volunteer maintained ruins of the Bell Chapel where Patrick once preached, or visit the Bronte exhibition at St James Church - including the Bronte baptismal font and birth certificates.

By staying at the Birthplace, you are not only getting the chance to share in the Brontë story but also to support a burgeoning heritage institution.

Guest access
Guests have exclusive use of the bedroom they have booked - Charlotte's, Emily's or Anne's. Each room has a private en-suite bathroom.

The downstairs area of the house is a working museum, cafe and community space. There are exciting opportunities for tours, participating in local events, or just peacefully soaking up the atmosphere in the privacy of your room.
