Guests say
Waterside Lodge One is highly praised for its cleanliness, stunning location by the canal, and excellent facilities including a well-equipped kitchen and hot tub. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches such as provided essentials and the friendly staff. Some noted the need for more storage space and better heating, but overall, the property offers a fantastic break with beautiful views and ample space for families and friends.
Guests consistently mention the property being spotlessly clean, with one minor note about glasses left in the dishwasher. The attention to cleanliness, especially with the hot tub, is frequently commended.
The property's location is celebrated for its picturesque setting by the canal, ideal for walks and visiting nearby villages. The only drawback mentioned is the lack of clear signage for the entrance.
The lodge is generally found to be comfortable with ample space and lovely bathrooms. However, several reviews point out the lack of storage space and one mentions inadequate heating, which affects the comfort score.
Facilities are well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and clean hot tub. The three-floor layout is appreciated, though the need for stair renovation and better communication are noted. The issue with the stair gate and broken glasses slightly lowers the score.
Many reviews highlight the thoughtful touches such as the provision of essentials like towels and tea. While these are appreciated, it's important to note that such amenities are subject to availability and not guaranteed.

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. Shop 2 miles, pub and restaurant 1 mile.
The properties can be booked together to accommodate larger groups.

Perfect lodge, had everything we needed including towels, tea towel, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, tea, coffee and sugarThe only negative I could find was the entrance to where the lodges are isn’t marked up, we ended up going past it

Great location for visiting the canals and villages of Calderdale. Lovely view from the top floor. Ideal for canal walks into Elland or Brighouse. Piece Hall only 15 minutes drive, and 30 minutes to Hebdon Bridge and Haworth. All worth a visit. We were a part of 4 plus dog. Whilst the lodge was beautifully clean my only criticism would be lack of storage space in bedroom and no pint or tall glasses. We stayed for a week and living out of cases isn't ideal. Overall still a great stay with lovely staff.

lovely well kept place, nestled in the nature reserve on the canal banks. we went for a family holiday and enjoyed the quiet area and peaceful atmosphere. with the cottage split over 3 floors, it was a little challenging running up and down the stairs. however the cottage is very well kept and allows you to feel at home as soon as you open the door! communication was slow and unclear, once you arrive however the staff are polite and very helpful.
