The only gripe is that the room had no human-level windows, the light came from three rooflights high up, operated remotely. I was hoping for a view. Also, the bed was advertised as extra large double, and I expected that to mean super king size, but it seemed like a fairly standard double to me. But these are only small issues, I'd stay here again. I think the prices were quite high given the size of the room but it was a lovely hotel.

It's a beautiful, historic hotel in a beautiful location, with a lovely pub and restaurant. The breakfast was great and it was nice to have a welcome tray and water in the room.

Absolute little gem found in fantastic surroundings, Only live 30 minutes away but never knew this place existed. Really cozy "olde world" bar and restaurant areas. We happened upon a lovely summer afternoon & there was free live music in the garden with a separate garden menu offering wood fired pizzas and snacks. We opted for the garden menu and were not disappointed by the white pizza. The inside menu looked amazing too.

The room could have been a bit better, expected a window we could view from. The skylights were a welcome addition as it was quite warm.

Breakfast was really good. Evening meal. Slight hiccup but soon rectified. So very good. Lovely location. Really nice staff.

We had the room nearest the breakfast room so there was some early noise

Excellent breakfast

I know this can't be helped but there was a pretty bad smell from the little glen over the way, it was a hot humid August day and there is obviously some kind of effluent running through there so the raw sewage aroma wasn't great. Also, someone was smoking right under our room in the middle of the night and fumigated the place. Bank holiday weekend I know but a little pricey for a pretty small room, paid £170 for one night.

Beautiful place indoors and out, great location, great beer and superb breakfast, excellent beer garden, friendly professional staff.

The gluten free bread at breakfast was terrible,- there's a lot of good makes out there, so please find one! The place as a whole did feel a bit raggy round the edges and at £215 for bed and breakfast we didn't feel it was great value for money

The location was lovely and the breakfast was mostly excellent. Staff were lovely and very helpful

Location, staff, and food all 1st class Booked as a stopover for The Piece Hall but so much more than that . It is a country location but only 3 miles from Halifax. Ubers a plenty so there is no problem with transport. Hotel immaculate with lots of character and the food and service absolutely top notch. We will definitely go back ..

Bed was a bit small We couldn’t turn the towel rail off so it was warm. Maybe not a problem if the weather hadn’t been so hot. It didn’t spoil our stay 😊

Lovely setting Weather was good so eating and drinking outside was good In the evening they had heating so we could enjoy the outside for longer The restaurant area was very nice

A very minor point but because we were staying in August, the room was very warm and the windows were high up meaning we could not open them. The room was really stuffy.

the breakfast was excellent. Staff were super friendly and polite, Room was really clean and cozy,

The bed was very hard but I believe I would have gotten used to it. Would prefer a walk in shower but everything works perfectly. Only real disappointment was the food. The al a carte menu was expensive and I have to say the food didn't match the price. The lamb I had was very chewy and only look warm. (But this wouldn't stop us returning to Shibden Mill!!!). We agreed it would probably be better eating the pizza that were being cooked outside rather than eat the restaurant food.

Lovely location, breakfast was excellent, room was small but the small touch of class is evident wherever you looked.

The only criticism that we would raise is there was often an unpleasant drain smell in the garden .

Lovely pub with old style charm and interesting features . luxurious but with a casual atmosphere so it did not feel over formal . The food in the restaurant was first class and the breakfasts very good

Lovely old Inn. Our room was cosy and spotless. Very peaceful nights sleep on comfy bed. Food was excellent, both dinner and breakfast.

It is on the more expensive side, at this price a little more of a choice would have been useful. IE a selection of sauces with the steak or a choice of smoked bacon at breakfast. It would have also been good to see coffee bags in the rooms (Taylors are a Yorkshire company); instant coffee some of which could go stale in time was a disappointment. But overall these are very minor gripes on what was a very pleasant stay.

Beautiful, old hotel, well maintained with very good food and excellent service.
