Cragg Hall View

About this property

Cragg Hall View is an inviting lodge resting in Cragg Vale, West Yorkshire, bringing together open-plan living, off-road parking and a shared terrace where you can linger in the fresh air. Step out of the car, take in the peaceful setting, and make your way inside to begin your break in this thoughtfully arranged retreat. At the heart of the lodge is the open-plan living area, where the kitchen, dining and sitting spaces flow together, making it easy for everyone to gather. Prepare simple suppers using the electric oven and hob, with the fridge and freezer on hand to store your ingredients for the week.

Lay the table for unhurried meals, then drift over to the sitting area to watch a favourite film on the Freeview TV or choose from the selection of books and games for a relaxed evening in. When it is time to turn in, a double bedroom and a twin room provide flexible sleeping arrangements for couples, friends or small families, all served by a bathroom with a bath and power shower over, basin and WC. In the morning, take your first cuppa out to the shared terrace, settling at the outdoor furniture as you plan the day ahead, and later fire up the barbecue for an easy al fresco feast.

From Cragg Vale, a short drive brings you to Hebden Bridge, where cobbled streets, independent shops, creative galleries and riverside or canal-side walks offer plenty of ways to while away an afternoon. Further afield, Huddersfield invites you to discover its Victorian architecture, parks and eateries, giving you options for both relaxed daytime exploring and laid-back evenings out. For a change of pace, Manchester lies within reach for a day trip, with its museums, galleries, shopping districts and dining scene adding a vibrant city flavour to your Yorkshire stay. However you choose to spend your break, Cragg Hall View makes a pleasant base for discovering this characterful corner of West Yorkshire.

The beautiful Pennine village of Cragg Vale is situated on the steep and winding Cragg Road and is the longest incline in England, still a major challenge to cyclists. The road winds its way up to beautiful heather-clad moorland, 1000 feet above sea level, and wooded cloughs and babbling brooks that cascade down the hillsides beckon the walker to explore the countryside. On the other side of the valley is the village of Luddenden and the glorious oak woodlands that make up Jerusalem Farm, a local nature reserve made famous by TV's In Loving Memory. In fact, this beautiful area has also featured in TV shows Happy Valley and Last Tango in Halifax. Nearby Hebden Bridge is a diverse and bohemian town home to restaurants, bars, bistros, markets, an independent cinema, art galleries, and the picturesque Rochdale Canal. A scenic car ride over the moors takes you to the splendid Parsonage Museum which commemorates the famous Bronte family. The area is a must for steam railway enthusiasts who will enjoy the thriving Worth Valley Railway. Skipton, "Gateway to the Dales", is also an easy and scenic car ride away.
