Having always been at the heart of Valley life, the 17th century Shibden Mill Inn was originally a corn and spinning mill, before being converted into a country pub in 1890.

Today’s visitors are welcomed with warm hospitality to enjoy first class dining against an inviting backdrop of open fires, low beamed ceilings and a cosy bar. Eleven individually styled bedrooms make comfortable and luxurious retreats, epitomising boutique country style and featuring lots of thoughtful touches.

And if you can drag yourself away from the Inn, there are wonderful walks from the doorstep and world class attractions within easy reach. For a spot of retail therapy or a cultural fix, Halifax is a 10-minute drive and Leeds is just 30 minutes away.

    First of all when I booked our reservation I was informed the my table would be in the restaurant, which was not the case. When we arrived we were shown to a table what I can only say was shoehorned into a space directly opposite the main entrance in the corridor between the bar and restaurant, prime position for being knocked every time somebody walked past, my wife who is petite in stature struggled to get to her seat! Although our food was good, my duck dish was cold when it arrived at the table and although this was mentioned to the waitress, all we got was a thank you for telling them. Not even a free coffee as an apology for serving. £34 main course cold. Disappointing for a restaurant listed in the Michelin guide. In summary very expensive for a gastro pub, cramming tables in to make a few extra quid.

    Perfect place on a winters afternoon. Roaring fires and a Sunday Roast in lovely surroundings, what could be better…

    We visited for my husband's 40th as a family group of 8, and had a wonderful experience. The food was wonderful, service warm and helpful, and the setting perfect. I'd also like to thank the staff for accommodating my daughter's multiple food allergies with ease and grace - they had pre-prepared a list of everything she could eat on the children's menu, and all the alterations they could offer for every dish to make it suitable for her. We hope to return very soon!
