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 carpet was a bit grubby but understandable as it was wet and muddy outside and not everybody takes their footwear off the hob and oven were unpredictable weather worked or not an instruction manual would be good but spotlessly clean everywhere

We have just returned from a lovey New Year at Waterside Lodge 3. The lodge itself was a good layout, loved the views from the living area on the top floor. Kitchen was well equipped & bathrooms all spot on. Location is brilliant, we walked daily to either Elland or Brighouse along the canal. Found some lovely places to eat or get coffee. Nature Reaerve also had some lovely walks. We would definitely go back for the location alone. The reason for only 4 stars is the filthy stair carpet on both flights of stairs which transferred onto the hardwood floors./socks. Also the sofa had seem better days. However I do appreciate dog friendly places must be hard to keep pristine. Also noticed some lodges just had wood stairs so maybe this is something they’re working on for all the lodges in future.
