What can we say?! This was such a fabulous, quirky place to stay...it was especially good during a heatwave as the this stone walls meant it felt like we had air conditioning downstairs! It's in a great location in Hebden Bridge and there are some great walks just outside the door (although be warnedThe Buttress is INCREDIBLY steep!)

Enjoyable few days in a perfect location but round opt got something more contemporary next time. Location Maintenance isues: loose tap in bathroom, curtains in bedroom wont close without hooks coming off, armchairs small and not comfortable, half toaster doesnt work. A cafetière rather than an unfamiliar coffee machine. Dark decor and poor lighting.
