17th-century inn in Shibden Valley with UK Food Pub of the Year award
Dining Experience
The on-site restaurant holds the UK Food Pub of the Year title and serves locally sourced ingredients caught or grown within the region. Guests can choose from a daily breakfast menu that includes a Full English as well as vegan dishes, all prepared from seasonal produce. The cosy bar offers an extensive gin selection and locally inspired cocktails, while the outdoor garden features a wood-fired pizza oven for casual dining.
Accommodation
Each of the eleven guest rooms is individually styled, with en-suite bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, DVD players, and tea and coffee making facilities. Homemade cookies are placed in rooms upon arrival, and guests have access to a DVD library for in-room entertainment. Bathrobes and slippers are provided, and the rooms retain original architectural features such as exposed beams and stone walls.
Grounds & Social Events
The inn has a sun terrace and outdoor furniture in the garden, which is used for wood-fired pizza evenings during warmer months. Live acoustic music is hosted on weekends, and themed nights are scheduled throughout the year. Inside, traditional log fires burn in the bar and lounge areas, creating a warm setting after a day outdoors.
Location & Nearby Attractions
Set in the Shibden Valley overlooking Red Beck, the inn is within walking distance of Shibden Hall, a 15th-century manor house and the home of Anne Lister. The Eureka Museum for Children and The Piece Hall in Halifax are both a short drive away. Hiking trails around the valley start directly from the property, and free maps are available at the inn.

The inn has been recognised as UK Food Pub of the Year and is a family-run establishment that has operated for generations. Free private parking is available on-site, and the property provides luggage storage for early arrivals or late departures. Meeting and banquet facilities can be arranged, and the inn offers daily housekeeping as well as dry cleaning and laundry services.
