Guests say
Waterside Lodge in Brighouse offers a comfortable and clean stay with beautiful canal views and a quiet, relaxing setting. Guests appreciate the property's spaciousness, underfloor heating, and well-equipped kitchen. The lodge's proximity to town and local amenities adds to its appeal, although some guests noted the decor could be refreshed and the hot tub size was not ideal for larger groups.
Guests consistently described the lodge as clean and tidy, indicating high standards of cleanliness throughout the property.
The lodge's location is appreciated for its quietness and proximity to Brighouse and local attractions. However, some guests felt the surroundings were not as countryside-oriented as expected.
The lodge is generally found to be comfortable, with cosy beds and a private outdoor area. Some guests, however, mentioned that seating was insufficient for larger groups and the furniture showed signs of wear.
Facilities are well-regarded, especially the kitchen and underfloor heating. Criticisms include a non-working dishwasher and a hot tub that is small for the number of guests the lodge accommodates.
While guests enjoyed the Christmas decorations during their festive stay, there is no mention of gifts or additional thoughtful touches that could be expected on a regular basis, hence the score cannot be determined.

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.

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.
