A much sought-after lakeside bar and restaurant are just ½ mile down the road, and uniquely Elland is home to one of Britain’s oldest surviving purpose-built cinemas, as well as a popular and independent microbrewery. Brighouse is a vibrant yet traditional town with ample amenities, a weekly market, and a reputation for hosting great festivals. It also has its own train station which provides connections to a variety of West Yorkshire towns and villages, including Hebden Bridge and Halifax, as well as offering direct services to the major tourist attractions of both Manchester and Leeds. Within a 15-minute drive you’ll reach the wonderful hidden gem of Piece Hall, and Grade II listed Shibden Hall most recognisable from BBC’s ’Gentleman Jack’. For those with children, Eureka! The National Children’s Museum is also just 15 minutes drive. The beautiful cobbled streets of Haworth, once home to the famous Brontë sisters, can be reached in around 30 minutes, and both the Yorkshire Dales and Peak District National Park in under an hour and a half.

Just returned from a long weekend staying in lodge six. After reading reviews about the lodge getting cold during the winter months I had a slight concern as the temps were due to drop when we were there. The lodge was very well heated and if anything it got too warm at times. The lodge was spacious and very well equipped. Smart TV was a very nice touch and the WiFi was very good, streaming videos without any issues. Lovely walks along the canal into brighouse where there are plenty of places to eat, drink and explore. As others have mention, not ideal if you have access disabilities due to the stairs and the steep bank leading down to the lodges. Overall, a fantastic weekend and we would definitely return. My only very small gripe was the very low cold water pressure on the kitchen sink. Even filling a kettle was a pain. Maybe something the staff can look at and repair.

We stayed for 4 days, to see in the new year. This lodge was absolutely beautiful, with owners providing extra amenities upon arrival for our stay. The under floor heating in the bathrooms are a lovely touch. Heating is all electric, with two fitted heaters in the ensuite bedrooms to which it can become very hot however upon turning off to go to bed, can wake very cold however easily certified once putting the heaters on. Only one portable heater, meaning one bedroom was without a heater. The outside area did smell strongly, probably due to the area being a swamp. The hot tub was attended to daily early morning however on our last full day, nobody came until 4pm to fill and treat, even after numerous messaging, to be told they were prioritising lodges that were due to have arrivals, resulting in us not being able to enjoy the experience.We loved the log burner, finding it very relaxing mornings and evenings. Great stay with extended family.

Spacious, clean, well-equipped accommodation. Quiet location although a little tricky to locate in the dark! Lovely private veranda/ balcony overlooking the canal, one with hot-tub. Supermarkets available in nearby Brighouse, eateries in Brighouse and Elland - nothing immediate within easy walking distance. There didn't seem to be programmed central heating in the property, each room with a plug-in electric heater. If back in the area, would stay again. We used this as a base to visit Yorkshire Sculpture Park (half-hour drive away).
