About this property
The Retreat provides a fabulous "get away from it all" location and comprises a stone built farm property which stands at the head of an unspoilt valley high above the picturesque market town of Hebden Bridge.

There are walks direct from the property into a landscape made famous by Cathy and Heathcliffe and other characters made famous by the Bronte Family.

10 of us plus a baby stayed for the weekend and couldn't have been better looked after! Mark, the host, was extremely responsive prior to our trip and after we arranged a HUGE food delivery he unpacked and organised it all immaculately for our arrival! He was on hand for any questions during the stay and also topped up the hot tub with fresh water every morning! Location is fantastic too, with a bus stop right at the top of the drive. Clean and very well maintained. It's our second visit here and we'd absolutely recommend to all.

The house is lovely and in such an amazing location. Watching sunset over the valley is very impressive. Our hosts were on hand for any info and pointed us in the right direction for a walk into Hebden Bridge on the Saturday. We would definitely visit the Retreat again.
