The lodge is appreciated for its quiet and relaxing setting by the canal, with easy access to local walks and the town centre by car. However, some guests felt the location lacked countryside elements and was not as secluded as expected.
The lodge is commended for its comfortable beds and spacious accommodation. However, some guests noted a lack of seating for larger groups and issues with some furniture, slightly affecting the overall comfort level.

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.

Absolutely fantastic stay we had here for 2 nights! Amenities was fantastic that was provided, Bedrooms, living area and kitchen are lovely & Hot tub was lovely. The Steep hill was abit of a Surprise coming down the track in the dark when didnt know there was a drop! A light or a arrow sign would maybe be helpful for future people staying. Would recommend and return!
