Our nineteenth century house is conveniently situated mid-way between Bradford and Halifax, just off the A6036, and within 10 minutes drive of the M606 and M62. Peace and tranquillity are guaranteed, as we are reached by a private road (with private parking). We have a spectacular 3 / 4 acre garden filled with roses, clematis and honey-suckle. We even have our own waterfall!

Guests are welcome to relax in the garden on summer evenings or take breakfast on the patio.  Rooms are furnished for your comfort and enjoyment, central heating, duvets, electric blankets, hair dryers, colour TVs and your own tea and coffee making facilities.

To make you feel welcome there will be fruit, fresh flowers and homemade biscuits in your room. Each room is either en-suite or has private facilities.

We have furnished the bedrooms using items from our travels in Africa as a focal point for the restful colour schemes, and throughout the house you will find stripped pine doors, old furniture and antique fireplaces.

Sue is a keen and skilled cook and will serve a full English breakfast, or a light breakfast with fresh fruit, home-made muesli, yoghurt and wholemeal bread.

We are just a minute's stroll from Bentley's restaurant, serving high-quality food, or there are several pubs within easy walking distance for good value meals. Vegetarians can be catered for.

Above all, the house is a family home, and you will find it friendly, informal and welcoming. You will have a magical glimpse of the Yorkshire countryside, just 4 miles from the heart of Bradford and Halifax, making Woodlands an ideal retreat for business people and other visitors to the area.

Woodlands is convenient for Bronte Country, Pennine walking, industrial heritage museums and is within an hours drive of York and the Yorkshire Dales.

We regret that we are unable to accommodate children under 10 years old, or dogs. We are a non-smoking household.
