"Really enjoyed our stay in this stylish and thoughtfully-equipped apartment."
So good to be in a quiet location but close to great shops and interesting things to do in Hebden Bridge. Local walks and public transport links excellent - bus ride to Haworth highly recommended!
-
"A great quirky and stylish flat in a fantastic location, quiet but seconds away from what Hebden Bridge has to offer, including independent shops and breweries."
Also close to the station for visits to cities and other nearby towns. We really enjoyed our stay and appreciated the personal touches the owners left for us on arrival - we would highly recommend the property.
Delighted you enjoyed your stay! And thank you so much for the lovely review :) Property Owner
