  • "This apartment has everything you need and everything done to a high standard."

    A very special place and what makes it special is Mark the owner. Stopped here for a week walking holiday and it was fantastic. You don't need a car, the railway station is just 10 minutes walk away and every shop you would ever need is on the doorstep so you don't have to carry anything from home.

    Thank you so much for the lovely review - so glad you enjoyed your time here! We'd love to see you again in autumn. Property Owner

  • "Absolutely lovely apartment - light-filled and beautifully, stylishly furnished."

    Very high standard of cleanliness, everything was in great condition. I appreciated the welcoming wine, tea, coffee etc that was provided. Fantastic location, right in the centre of Hebden Bridge, but yet very peaceful and quiet when you are inside the apartment. I went to the Trades Club during my stay, and it's a stone's throw away - literally just a couple of minutes walk. The cinema is a few minutes walk, and the lovely high street with all the cafés and a supermarket are practically on the doorstep. Walks along the canal are just a few minutes away too. I had a lovely stay, with very friendly and helpful contact with the owners. I'm definitely planning on returning.

  • "Wonderful spacious apartment in the centre of Hebden all amenities close by, Decor and cleanliness excellent, the owner provided his telephone number and was on hand and was very helpful, he even moved his car so that we could park outside the property."

    We had a great time and I am sure we will return as accommodation was so comfortable and extremely warm, and Hebden Bridge offers so much in the way of restaurants and independent shops, and a relaxing walk along the canal was enjoyable, can’t think of anything negative to say, the apartment ticked every box, it would be nice to return in the Summer.

    Thank you so much for the lovely feedback - we really appreciate it! Take care, and hopefully see you again soon. Property Owner

  • "The Old Riverside School House was a super property located in Hebden Bridge and certainly suitable for the both of us and our dog."

    The conversion had been completed to a high standard and the facilities provided showed this. The apartment was cosy and comfortable with the furnishings and I especially loved all the plants. Mark the owner was on hand for advice for parking, local walks, sightseeing, best drinking and eating establishments but also if you required anything else that was needed for your stay. We shall be back at a future date. Wendy Adam and Rufus.

    Thank you so much for the lovely review. Really glad you had a good time and hope to see you again next time! Property Owner

  • "Really wonderful accommodation and great location."

    The flat had plenty of room for me, my partner and our dog. The boot room downstairs is really handy when you get back from walks (or the rain). Great facilities including an air fryer and cafeteria. Mark was a really friendly host, thought of everything and the mince pies near Xmas was a lovely touch! Will definitely be staying again.

    It was really lovely to meet you - please do come again soon! Property Owner
