West Yorkshire’s Brontë Country is having its moment – rapidly becoming one of the UK’s hottest romantic destinations. As anticipation builds for Emerald Fennell’s new film “Wuthering Heights”, only in cinemas 13th February in time for Valentine’s Day, Airbnb data shows the film is putting West Yorkshire on the map for Gen Z, with searches for Valentine’s stays up 59% – signalling a new fascination with romance on the moorlands.
“Wuthering Heights” is a bold and original imagining of one of the greatest love stories of all time, centered on Cathy and Heathcliff, whose forbidden passion turns from romantic to intoxicating in an epic tale of lust, love and madness – a longing guests can discover this Valentine’s as Cathy Earnshaw invites couples to step inside her lavish Thrushcross Grange bedroom in West Yorkshire for an immersive overnight stay inspired by Emerald Fennell’s sizzling take on the classic novel, exclusively on Airbnb.
With the film set to ignite a new generation of fans and inspire couples to reconnect amidst the magic of the moors, Cathy’s Bedroom is poised to cement West Yorkshire countryside as the world’s new capital of yearning – transporting guests into the very chamber where Cathy longs for Heathcliff. And that yearning is spreading worldwide, as global searches for West Yorkshire, over Valentine’s weekend are up almost a quarter (24%) compared to last year.
Inspired by Emerald Fennell’s exquisite film, the room channels Cathy’s intensity, offering guests a deeply personal window into her inner world, almost becoming a character of its own – a feverish ode to Cathy as devised by her husband, Edgar Linton. The skin-toned walls and layered textures make the space feel saturated with her presence, from strands of her hair woven into the table to the vein-like patterns that seem to pulse through the cushions.
The dining room at our Thrushcross Grange is also brought to life, dressed in silver-toned finery and styled to mirror the film’s world. Here, guests will be served rich Yorkshire dishes during an indulgent and themed candle-lit dinner, echoing the opulent meals seen on screen.
Beyond these rooms, couples can fall in love again and again, with the stay also including a horseback ride across the countryside, an indulgent afternoon tea, and an intimate listening experience of Charli xcx’s “Wuthering Heights” – in their own modern, untamed Yorkshire moment.
Dana Nussbaum, Co-Head, Global Motion Pictures Marketing, Warner Bros. Pictures, said: “The ‘Wuthering Heights’ that Emerald Fennell has brought to the screen was born of her vivid imaginings of not just Cathy and Heathcliff’s passionate romance, but of the wild world of the moors that surrounded them in Emily Brontë’s Yorkshire. We are so excited to not only be able to share that singular experience with audiences when the film comes to theaters 13th February for Valentine’s Day, but also to give travel buffs who are true romantics the chance to live it for themselves thanks to our partners at Airbnb.”
Cathy’s Bedroom will be available three separate stays for up to two guests each for stay across multiple days between 27 February and 4 March, completely for free – exclusively on Airbnb.
