Sowerby Bridge hotels

Pros: Booked for a couple’s Christmas before the main family do and quite honestly, I cannot fault. Having stayed here before, our expectations were high yet again, Shibden Mill Inn delivered. Room was absolute beautiful, restaurant was top class and the staff were unbelievably accommodating.

Pros: The staff was wonderful. The service was generally speedy. The menu was extensive and diverse.

Cons: There is a musty odor throughout many areas of the property. I got used to it, but it was unpleasant.

Pros: Great location with good food and drink

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Food was amazing and lovely staff

Cons: Very cold bedroom even with electric fire

Pros: Room was spotlessly clean, very quaint and comfortable. We ate in the restaurant, choosing the festive three course set menu...very good value. Lovely eating area with beautiful open fire. Amazing ambience to relax and enjoy a cocktail. Breakfast was excellent with lots of homemade elements.

Cons: Everything was lovely.

Pros: Excellent pleasant staff. Lovely and warm with open fire. Lovely location.

Cons: Hard pillows!

Pros: Beautiful building, extremley attentative staff, great welcome with best minced pies at reception, nice duplex room, very good cooked breakfast with delicious homemade black pudding, good marmelade and granola, great Gin selection at bar, cosy fireplace for an evening drink

Cons: TV channels did not work properly, bathroom a little bit tired but very clean no prob at all, would change OJ at breakfast buffet

Cons: Beautiful common areas and the bedroom was large and luxurious. The warm greeting from the resident cat was the icing on top.

Pros: The staff, the staff, the staff. What a nice bunch of people.

Cons: Bed was a bit firm for our liking but that's just personal preference.

Pros: Very historic. Built in 1633 and having many original features. Lots of atmosphere, real fires, cosy nooks and a lovely garden. Bedrooms are modern, attractive and with good facilities.

Cons: The view was disappointing.

Pros: I loved the olde world charm and features of the beautiful building.

Cons: The price of 3 scoops of Ice cream was approximately £8 which we thought a little high.

Pros: Extremely comfortable suite, very comfortable bed, lovely staff. My partner and i have had a terrible year with family issues and the death of my mum. I booked our stay at Holdsworth as a well earned luxury break and it ticked all the boxes for us. Thank you for making a difference.

Cons: The bar prices!!!

Pros: Breakfast was nice with quality ingredients.

Cons: Given the season, the place seemed a little understaffed at times. Rooms rather small and I would say, a bit overpriced

Pros: everything

Cons: nothing

Pros: Not a lot, complete waste of money.

Cons: To start with the bar which states 'open til.late' closed about 9.30! The sheets had makeup on them and I found a grey sock in the bed, which wasn't mine! The bathroom paint had been touched up with the wrong colour. The unappetising breakfast had milk swilling around in the bottom of the bag & 2 squashed muffins had seen better days. The room was about 42 degrees, nearly died of heat exhaustion. The wifi was unsecured and could see everyone elses devices connected!! Oh and couldn't find any staff around to complain to...

Pros: Fabulous meal Spotlessly clean and well equipped. Clever and thoughtful design features. Wonderfully comfortable bed. Great breakfast. Can't praise it highly enough. Will definitely be back.

Cons: Nothing to dislike

Pros: Excellent service and very warm rooms

Cons: Far from McDonald’s lol

Pros: Nice clean room, very well thought out. Staff were very welcoming and nothing seemed too much problem for them. Would use again.

Cons: The breakfast basket left out by your bedroom door is a great idea but.... the milk in our was off. I am sure if the pub was open it would have been rectified and it certainly wouldn't stop us from using this place again.

Pros: We stayed here as we were at a wedding at The Venue so the location was ideal for us. The staff were so helpful and friendly! We stayed in the small double, it was comfy and had everything we needed. They left the breakfast in a basket outside the door in the morning which I thought was nice. Overall lovely stay :)

Pros: This place is typical of the old city-centre hotels that are suffering from newer competitors on the edge of town. I expected it to be more down at heel than it was. The things that mattered: staff, comfort, breakfast, were all fine. The decoration, carpets, etc could do with a refurb. But for anyone who likes to travel by train this hotel, and this kind of hotel, now represents excellent value for money.

Cons: There's a slight feeling of gloom and underinvestment.

Pros: Friendly welcome, comfy bed, great value for money.

Pros: breakfast super always plenty to choose from

Cons: the room is very dated and in need of a revamp but I am sure that many people before us have commented on this and the bed was very uncomfortable due to springs sticking out all over. The staff are always helpful andpolite keep up the good work.

Pros: Nice breakfast. Very nice staff.

Cons: Dated decor

Pros: Overall our two nights stay was good Room was very clean great value for money Right in the centre

Cons: A couple of points were no view from frosted windows room very dark, a lot of noise in the early hours on both nights. We’ve not been to Halifax for many years so didn’t know what was the best places to eat and drink etc. Reception staff were nice but would of been better if they would of tried to speak to us more tell us about things in the area.

Pros: Superior double rooms had large bathrooms and good shower. Beds comfortable. Reception staff extremely helpful and friendly, breakfasts good and freshly cooked.

Cons: Parking is the hotel's biggest negative, due to being in heart of town and not built for today's car volume. Staff have to help getting car into and out of the yard, and very keen to do so knowing the problem. Charge £8 per day. Alternative is on-road parking outside the hotel and around the area but charges start at 8.00am until 6.00pm; I hour max outside hotel, two hours max behind the Town Hall (50 yards away) shopping/entertainment centre nearby has pay-for parking, and Sainsbury's 400 yards away) has free 25hour parking. So if intention is to use car during the day, use free overnight street parking near hotel and pay for the hour or two before you drive off.

Pros: The location was convenient, some of the staff were friendly and efficient. Most facilities were as expected, wasn’t expecting anything amazing

Cons: The bed was horrendous, could hardly be used as a double bed. You literally sank into it, bending neck. It was small and when my partner lay on the bed trying to sleep the mattress sunk down. The radiator was on all night and couldn’t be turned off. The window had to be opened with difficulty and the noise from the town lasted nearly all night - drunks, fights and workmen very early on a Friday morning. God knows what this would be like on a weekend. Breakfast was mediocre at best, i left most of of mine - egg white watery on fried egg, dried up bacon, poor quality sausage, cold coffee after adding milk, warm orange juice.

Pros: Spacious room, friendly staff, late bar

Cons: Decor is a bit old fashioned but not bad

Pros: Very convenient with nearby allocated parking. Bargain rate for a night's stay

Cons: Dated bathroom suite (avocado)

Pros: Close to the train station. Really nice and helpful staff.

Cons: There were no problems at all.

Pros: Value for money

Cons: The hotel could do with a lift

Pros: Breakfast was very good. The Dining room was very stylish and welcoming. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The bedroom we stayed in was very nice and clean. The bed was very comfortable and the bed linen was fresh and clean.

Pros: Stayed for 2 night over new year. Staff polite and hotel lovely will be coming back at easter

Cons: Csnt fault the place

Pros: Very helpful and friendly staff, excellent location over the road to the station, car park only 2 min walk from hotel over the road. My room was on the first floor so not having a lift didn't make any difference to me, I did see staff carrying luggage for someone who was on the third floor. My bed was really comfy, best night sleep I have had in any hotel. Great breakfast. I will definitely use this hotel again if I am in that area.

Pros: Very friendly and welcoming staff throughout the hotel. Clean comfortable rooms. Hotel bar (nice surprise) serving reasonably priced drinks. Excellent breakfast. The hotel is in a great location for visiting Halifax with attractions in walking distance. We would not hesitate to stay there again.

Cons: Unfortunately we didn’t sleep well due to the inconsiderate guests staying in the room next to ours who argued into the night and then again the following morning not the fault of the hotel though.

Pros: Location good, staff friendly, free car park nearby.

Cons: Very loud a/c unit outside bedroom. Moved us for second night. Very noisy in general. Ancient cheap furnishings - like the 1980s. Broken plug in bath. Tired cheap bathroom fittings. Catering disappointing - no english mustard at all for breakfast. no 'real' beer in bar. Sausages needed a taste injection....

Cons: Old fashioned wooden beds. Mattress in the hallway. Limited breakfast

Pros: Friendly staff. Great location. Lovely breakfast. Would definitely stay again.

Pros: Clean and tidy

Cons: Bed wasn’t that comfortable

Pros: Beds were comfy. It was clean

Cons: Bar shut at 8pm.

Pros: Rooms spacious and comfitable good value for money. Rooms clean.

Cons: The breakfast on the 2nd day could have been hotter . The bar restaurant wasn't opened on first night. But undstandable straight after new year. Telly didnt work very well.

Pros: The rooms are a very good size and excellent value for money- £40 for a suite including wifi and breakfast. Wouldn't get a suite again though because it meant the tv wasn't in the bedroom and we like to watch TV in bed before we go to sleep. The welcome drink was a nice touch and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons: The breakfast wasn't great, it was full English but pre cooked and out on hot plates etc- none of it was very nice as I think they used very cheap low quality ingredients. Still couldn't complain for the price we paid for the room though.

Pros: Good value for money,,,very nice location,,

Cons: That we weren’t informed that the restaurant and bar were shut on out stay. Other than that, hotel was a very comfortable and relaxing place to stay.

Pros: Not a lot

Cons: Almost everything

Pros: Hotel staff always friendly and obliging

Cons: No facility for breakfast this was just room only not informed of this on website have stayed here on a few occasions but will not stay here again Thursday night drunken clients slamming doors screaming etc awake most of night room not cleaned or drinks topped up on second day of stay all in all very disappointed as have never experienced this before at this hotel people should be informed before they book that there are no eating or drinking facilities instead of being told when you arrive to book in as you have already paid

Cons: No water due to supply failure. Not resolved
