We should have stayed at the Shepherds Rest in Sowerby Bridge, but we received a phone call at 5:15 informing us that the room had water damage. We were told to go to the Bull on the Bridge which was a 25 minute walk from the Shepherds Rest. We had parked at the Shepherds rest earlier in the day and had been drinking so couldn't drive. We were greeted at the hotel and were shown to our room. The room was small, and there was no inside handle on the shower room door. We returned to the room at approximately 10pm to find there was entertainment in the bar with extremely loud noise. We could hear the boom boom until late. We were forced to walk the distance to the Shepherds Rest to reach the car. We are far from satisfied with our stay and would like to receive some form of compensation to make up for our inconvenience.

Budget hotel with Budget facilities. No food, only bar snacks. Sole member of staff on duty was a barmaid. Well presented bedroom in the attic. Only natural light by a Velux window which wouldn't completely shut. The roof leaked because of biblical rain & unable to change rooms as fully booked. Bed had to be moved to avoid the leak. Not ideal!! In fairness the barmaid was as helpful as could be with the offer of a room, if available, at a sister hotel but no guaranteed parking and by then had been drinking. On the plus side, nice well stocked bar with good selection of ales.

Nice staff, friendly and helpful. Room was very dark with a very dark ceiling, even with blinds open . Open electrics, covered by a black bag, very dusty, like it hadn’t been used for a while and then not cleaned properly. Bathroom was clean and had a great shower but also very dark . One mirror in bathroom with poor lighting, no mirrors in bedroom to do makeup and hair . Nice little kitchen area with tea and coffee facilities. Bed was comfy enough, just very soft. Good facilities for price
