The Squirrels is in a great location within 10 minute walking distance of Hebden Bridge. Plenty of things to do in the surrounding area. Great place to meet up with family and friends. The house is very well equipped and maintained to a very high standard. I will definitely return!

! Nothing could be faulted and there was nothing that wasnât thought of down to games, books and blankets in the lounge . The property was spotlessly clean and the owner Joanne is such a lovely accomodating lady who was so friendly and helpful . My sister and I took our elderly parents 90 and 87 who loved the break and were so impressed with the house and the thought that had gone into all the personal touches . Excellent location. Off road parking available . 3 beautifully appointed bedrooms with 3 fabulous bathrooms one of which being en-suite . 2 lounge areas the main one having a lovely balcony area leading off it which we enjoyed an afternoon sat on in the sun . I can highly recommend the Squirrels and would not hesitate to return . Thank you for the perfect stay and the opportunity to make some really happy and treasured family memories .

There is everything you could possibly want. Having three bathrooms was great with four adults and two children. There are lots of great walks and things to do. A hit with the grandchildren was Clip'n Climb in Halifax. There are many good places for a snack - 'Rendezvous' in Hebden Bridge and 'The Blue Teapot' Mytholmroyd were favourites. Thank you to the owners for a wonderful holiday.
