Guests say
Guests have praised Waterside Lodge Fifteen for its comfort, cleanliness, and beautiful setting. The lodge is well-received for its spaciousness and modern amenities, including a hot tub that is a hit with both children and adults. The scenic location with a lake adds to the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, despite some noise from neighbouring parties. Local pubs and restaurants are within walking distance, enhancing the stay.
The lodge is consistently described as clean and spotless, with guests appreciating the level of cleanliness upon arrival. Towels are provided, adding to the convenience.
The location is praised for its scenic views and proximity to local amenities, though some guests noted the initial approach and surrounding area as less appealing. The steep, windy road access and distance to shops may require driving.
The lodge offers a comfortable stay with ample space, especially for smaller groups. However, some guests mentioned issues with soft mattresses and noise from other levels within the lodge.
Facilities like the hot tub and well-stocked kitchen are highlights, but there are comments on the need for updates, lack of storage, and maintenance issues such as a wobbly table and insufficient hot water for larger groups.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the host, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

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 have 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 and drive through the pillared entrance, and proceed down the tree lined sweeping driveway, the location really 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 is 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 micro brewery. 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. Shop 2 miles, pub and restaurant 1 mile.

Beautiful lodge, spotlessly clean. We would highly recommend and will definitely be back.The only criticism was very wet garden furniture cushions which were stacked up in the bedroom by the hot tub, we had to mop the floor as they were soaking wet and the water had spread all over the floor!!

We stayed for a 4 night stay just the 2 of us in a lodge that sleeps 8. We loved the space we had only being the 2 of us. All the staff on site were lovely and friendly. There was everything you needed was there but do feel that considering there is a hot tub there should be dressing gowns. Was a lovely little pub a sort walk away along the main road to the left as you come out the site and a lovely restaurant with excellent food a sort walk away along the main road to the right as you come out the site but check opening times as places close early some nights. Although the Lodge was clean with amazing views they are in need of some updates, if 8 people were staying there is no storage for your cases/bags and we had a board that needed nailing down on our decking which I tripped on and was not addressed even after reporting it to the site manager Harriet and I've never slept on a mattress that was so soft
