Description:
The Dene Bed and Breakfast in Sowerby Bridge, Halifax, is a Visit Britain Four Star B&B. We offer comfortable rooms in our family home and work hard to ensure our guests have a relaxing, comfortable stay with us here in Yorkshire. An access statement for disabled guests is available on request.
Rooms Include:
Willa’s Room is our family room containing a double and a single bed. There is also space for a cot or a folding bed for a small child. It overlooks the garden with the large fern leaf beech tree which was big enough to be.
The Rose bedroom overlooks the garden and across the wooded valley which is spectacular in spring and autumn. Friends call the bathroom “the loo with the view”. Furniture in this room includes a Victorian bed which was bought.
Judith’s room is a twin room overlooking the courtyard and above the roof opposite, to the hillside where cattle graze. This room and the adjoining bathroom were originally servants’ quarters and have smaller lighter doors.
