Guests say
Waterside Lodge Five offers a modern, spacious, and well-equipped retreat with beautiful canal views and a popular hot tub. Guests consistently praise the cleanliness, comfort, and stylish décor, making it ideal for group getaways and celebrations. The lodge is peaceful and well-suited for relaxing breaks, with thoughtful touches such as tea, coffee, and milk provided. While some mention minor issues with heating, towel drying, and the surrounding area, the overall experience is highly positive, with many guests eager to return and recommend the property.
Cleanliness is frequently highlighted, with guests describing the lodge as very clean, tidy, and well-maintained. Only a couple of minor issues, such as small stains or a concern about the hot tub's cleanliness, were mentioned, but these were exceptions rather than the norm.
The location is praised for its peaceful setting and lovely canal views, with easy access to walks and nearby towns. However, a few guests noted the industrial surroundings, the smell from nearby water, and the need to drive to amenities, which slightly impacted the overall impression.
Guests found the lodge spacious, comfortable, and cosy, with comfortable beds and inviting living areas. Some feedback mentioned limited wardrobe space and heating in certain areas, but overall comfort levels were high.
Facilities such as the hot tub, log burner, and well-equipped kitchen are highly appreciated. The lodge is suitable for groups, with amenities like stair gates and high chairs provided. Minor suggestions included more towel rails and improved TV signal, but these did not detract significantly from the experience.
Guests appreciated thoughtful touches like tea, coffee, and milk on arrival, as well as responsive hosts. Please note that such gifts or provisions are not guaranteed for every stay. Some guests would have liked more cleaning products and pint glasses, but overall, the attention to guest needs was well received.

Offering beautiful panoramic rural views, these bespoke, semi-detached wooden lodges, complete with hot tubs, hold an enviable waterside location beside lakes, canals, and woodland. Located in the prestigious Ashgrove Country Park, once the pleasure grounds for Ashgrove Hall, you are surrounded by 40 acres of estate parkland with the development being dubbed as ’the best kept secret in Calderdale’.
Split over three levels, each of the lodges has an open plan living space on the top floor complete with bi-folding doors that can open out onto a decked balcony with stunning views. The middle floor offers a bedroom with en-suite facilities, a second bedroom, and a family bathroom. On the lower level, you’ll find two more bedrooms of which one is glass-fronted, with generous en-suite facilities, and uniquely opens out onto a spacious decked terrace overlooking the waterfront. From the moment you arrive drive through the pillared entrance, and proceed down the tree-lined sweeping driveway, the location is idyllic.
Set between the Calderdale towns of Brighouse and Elland, both approximately 5 minutes’ drive away, and just 10 minutes from Halifax, you are surrounded by beautiful West Yorkshire countryside, yet within easy reach of shops, pubs and restaurants. 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.

We had a fab 3 night stay here, the lodge had everything we needed and was close enough to nearby places to visit and eat. Would highly recommend.

Space was nice and clean aside from a few small stains. Lots of hen parties at the other lodges which was loud, but thats not the hosts fault ! Seems like a place suited to hen parties etc so probably better suited to a place for just adults rather than a family getaway , so will come back without the kids next time !

Great location, clean, tidy and a comfortable stay. Will book again. We had fun as a party of 8 ladies for a 40th birthday.
