wonderful stay!
convenient location friendly staff spacious room
the location suited my needs perfectly as a solo female traveler. i found it convenient to access both halifax and sowerby bridge with only a short drive. the pub had a charming, nostalgic feel, complete with cask ales. the staff were very friendly, and the rooms were spacious and well-kept.
I had a slight issue with the water pressure in the shower. It was a bit lower than i prefer.
Location

trying to get a vat receipt proved difficult after my stay! i have contacted them on multiple occasions with no resolution. this lack of documentation created an issue for my work reimbursements.

adequate, but with issues
faulty tv staff intrusion
the room was beautiful and different from typical hotel rooms.
the tv was not set up, so i couldn't use it. the shower's water temperature was difficult to regulate. also, a staff member entered my room without knocking after i had already checked in

The staff gave a friendly welcome. the location was perfect for my needs (i was going to an event nearby). on-street parking was right outside the building. It was very convenient.
i tried to get a vat receipt multiple times. i was given several excuses. i need this for work, so it caused me some trouble.
