This Airbnb lets you sleep inside Wuthering Heights for a night

From misty moors to candlelit rooms, this Airbnb stay channels the aching yearning of Wuthering Heights, with only three nights available to book.

Literary tourism just took a very dramatic turn. A new Airbnb experience in West Yorkshire is inviting guests to spend the night in Cathy’s bedroom at Thrushcross Grange, inspired by Wuthering Heights and staged as an immersion into one of literature’s most intense love stories.

Yes, really. For three single-night stays only, two guests at a time can book a private bedroom styled as Cathy Earnshaw’s retreat, complete with candlelit dinners, misty moorland moments and an immersive soundtrack designed to send you straight into your feelings.

The Airbnb launch is perfectly timed with the cinema release of Wuthering Heights, which hits Australian cinemas this Thursday, 12 February, just in time for Valentine’s Day. Directed by Emerald Fennell, the new adaptation stars Aussies Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff and Margot Robbie as Cathy.

Early buzz suggests the film takes a much looser, far more sensual approach to Emily Brontë’s original novel, leaning hard into obsession, desire and the darker edges of the story rather than strict literary fidelity. In other words, this is not a quiet, bonneted period drama.

That heightened, modern interpretation is echoed in the Airbnb experience itself, which blends 19th-century longing with contemporary cultural cues. According to Airbnb, interest in Wuthering Heights has driven a surge in Valentine’s getaway searches to West Yorkshire, positioning Brontë Country as an unlikely new capital of yearning and wild romance.

While Wuthering Heights is famously wild and storm-lashed, this experience takes place at Thrushcross Grange, the refined counterpoint to Heathcliff’s chaos. Inspired directly by Fennell’s film, the bedroom is designed as a deeply personal space devised by Edgar as a space for dressing, dreaming and longing, with skin-toned walls, layered textures and details intended to feel saturated with Cathy’s presence.

“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,” Dana Nussbaum, Co-Head, Global Motion Pictures Marketing, Warner Bros. Pictures, said.

The overnight experience includes:

• Horseback riding on the Yorkshire moors
• Traditional Yorkshire tea
• A candlelit dinner in the main house
• A late-night listening session featuring Charli xcx’s track Wuthering Heights, written for the film, with guests also receiving an exclusive vinyl
• Breakfast the next morning of eggs and soldiers, Cathy’s favourite
• A visit to the Brontë Parsonage, where the Brontë sisters lived and wrote

It is unapologetically theatrical and intentionally immersive, framed less as a themed stay and more as a direct entry into Cathy’s inner world.

In case you were wondering, Cathy herself will not be making an appearance, and neither will Margot Robbie. The drama is strictly atmospheric, with trusted hosts running the experience instead.

The property sits in Calderdale, a region locals love for its mix of rolling countryside, heritage towns and creative pockets. Nearby highlights include Haworth, Hebden Bridge’s independent cafes and shops, Halifax’s historic Piece Hall and scenic walking paths that wind across hills and valleys.

It is the kind of setting that makes sense for a story so deeply tied to landscape and mood.

This is a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it release aimed squarely at book lovers, romantics, film fans and anyone who has ever wished they could step inside a novel for the night. With only three single-night bookings available, it feels less like accommodation and more like a literary event.

If you have ever wanted to wake up to mist on the moors and lean fully into the yearning, this might be your moment.
