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 great stay, lots of communication of what was needed beforehand to make us comfortable! Clean and really spacious and despite there being big groups around us the noise was minimal.Our only issue was the fridge wasn’t very cold and we constantly had to check this was fully closed as the seal didn’t seem very strong

Came as a group of 8 for an early birthday celebration. Communication wasn’t the best but got there in the end. The lodge was set out lovely but I would recommend that it gets cleaned after every stay not just beds and towels changed. The floor was filthy and the sofa was covered in dog hairs. The rooms were spacious but again general cleanliness was needed throughout. I’d suggest maybe doing so many lodges as pet and the rest as not especially if they aren’t getting cleaned after each stay properly. There was a table in the living room which was in an odd place, once moved (it was on wheels) it uncovered a giant stain.
