Fancy a bit of yearning? Unrequited love? Creepy dark-red bedrooms and possibly an incredibly gothic Charli XCX soundtrack? We’ve got just the thing.
Just in time for V-Day 2026, Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights will be released on February 13, and with Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as the main guys, it’s set to make quite the storm. A classic tale of passion and revenge, it will no doubt feature the kookiness of other Fennell flicks Saltburn and Promising Young Woman, as well as an entire new Charli XCX album specifically for the film.
Much of the Wuthering Heights story is set on home soil in West Yorkshire and its surrounding moorlands – and a lot of the film was shot there, too. Meaning that, for UK folk, the film’s filming locations are very much in-reach.
And here’s the even better news: Airbnb is offering three couples (or pairs) an exclusive overnight stay in Cathy’s very own bedroom, designed to bring to life her intensity in an exact replica of the film set. And what’s more – it’s completely free.
So, what’s it like? Well, I got to experience the room – and let’s just say it’s not for the faint hearted.
Once I was through a dark red room-style entrance, complete with velvet carpets and flickering lanterns, I opened the double doors to the grand pink boudoir. I not only found Cathy in there in the form of veins (veins!) and freckles adorning the walls and golden hair strands hanging from the table, I felt her presence. ‘Catherine Earnshaw, Catherine Linton, Catherine Heathcliff’ was written on the window, and her dressing table scattered with hairbrushes and powder. Charli XCX played eerily in the background.
Also included in the stay is a horseback ride across the moorlands, a genuinely fabulous Yorkshire afternoon tea featuring tiny sandwiches and scones, an evening inspired by dinner at Wuthering Heights’s Edgar Linton’s home Thrushcross Grange, a film-themed breakfast, and a visit to the Brontë Parsonage.
If you can’t get a stay at Cathy’s, rooms at Holdsworth House can also be booked on Airbnb – that’s where the film’s cast and director stayed while filming, in the Executive Suites. The family-owned Jacobean manor in Halifax makes for a good base to explore Yorkshire (the Beatles apparently stayed here secretly in 1964). I stayed overnight in Fennel’s very own pad from filming, but you could try to blag Elordi’s and possibly drink the bathwater.
Fancy a little more wholesome yearning? The surrounding Brontë Country is filled with moorlands, quaint villages and literary history — the perfect recipe for pensiveness. Make sure you explore Haworth Village, a picture of cobbled streets lined with charming independent shops overlooking tumbling hills. Like the English Literature nerd I am, I paid a visit to St. Michael and All Angels Church to see where the Brontë family is buried. For my first trip to the county, this all lived up to what I hoped it would be like and more. That’s assuming I survived Cathy’s bedroom.
Bookings for Cathy’s bedroom will open on Airbnb here on February 20, with the stays taking place between February 27 and March 4, completely for free.
