Portsmouth Homes for Two People

To Dye For

• 3 guests

• 1 bedrooms

Halifax, West Yorkshire

Originally built in the mid-17th century, this striking farmhouse was subsequently acquired by the wealthy Wainhouse family and split into five cottages to house their dyers. The current host's family has lived in this cottage for two-and-a-half centuries and — save for some modern gizmos in the kitchen and a pristine white bathroom — the space hasn't changed all too much in that time.

Brontë Schoolhouse

• 4 guests

• 2 bedrooms

Carnforth, Westmorland and Furness

This Casterton cottage has lived many lives in its rich history, most notably as the school Charlotte Brontë and her sisters attended in the 1800s. To stay here is to stay in literary history.

The Shepherdess

• 2 guests

• 1 bedrooms

Holme Valley, West Yorkshire

Fit for a romantic country break, this classic stone cottage sits in the rolling hills near Huddersfield. A ten-minute drive sees you in the confines of the Peak District – the UK’s oldest National Park – where walking trails weave across the landscape atop hills and past waterfalls.
