What guests think
At The New Hobbit Hotel Rooms, travellers consistently praise modern, comfortable rooms with impressive valley views, smooth self check-in, and convenient parking, along with helpful communication from staff before and during stays.
Cleanliness is widely rated very high, though a few guests reported lapses such as lingering smoke smells, missed hairs, or bathroom maintenance problems. The scenic hilltop setting brings quiet and wide views, but reaching it involves steep, narrow roads and a strenuous uphill walk from town, so taxis or a car are practical options. There is no on-site restaurant or bar; instead, rooms include simple complimentary items for a light breakfast, though one review mentioned an out-of-date pastry. Expect a simple, good-value base for exploring the area.

This is a very nice away from it all stop. Well furnished rooms and fresh new walkin shower room. Lovely views. There is noone there. So no services you have a key box and code. Nice bars and restaurants short drives away. Nothing there. I love it. Have to be self sufficient car vital.

A good alternative to staying in Halifax for us while visiting family. Clean and comfy room with a modern feel and easy contact-free checkin/out. Has parking, but we were car free so used local taxis for the most part to/from Sowerby Bridge centre (£10 each way) and also walked a few times (be aware, quite a steep but enjoyable climb, takes around 25 mins). Nice quiet surroundings and good views over the Calderdale valley. Although no on-site amenities now (shop/cafe/restaurant/bar) we appreciated the in-room tea/coffee and the mini toiletries. Only suggestion for improvement could be some sort of general vending machine of drinks/light snacks ? Overall a good find and would use again.

The little touches like breakfast porridge/pastry and water. The fridge, wine glasses were nice. The place was really nice quality. The outside seating area is a nice benefit. The only things that could improve would be a mirror on the wall near hairdryer to do hair, luckily I’d brought my own as this tends to be a common issue. I enjoyed the view, it was one of the reasons for booking but if the vegetation is cut back there won’t be much of a view when full leaf cover in summer which might then cause disappointment. I’d definitely return.

Well presented terrace room with a super view down into the valley. Nice bathroom, particularly the combination rain shower. Fridge insitu. Bed was comfortable enough although was a bit warm under the duvet (even with the terrace door ajar all night) - then again, I do prefer a low tog duvet all year round. Access via car is up narrow, steep, uneven roads, but there is ample/secure parking on site. Check in via keybox - no meet and greet

Another excellent stay at the Hobbit host is very friendly and nothing too much trouble if you have any questions. Rooms are spotlessly clean and lovely decor. Car park right outside the door with ample parking. This time we had a ground floor room but still a lovely view of the valley. The porridge pots and croissants are a lovely touch. Also we were celebrating our anniversary and was given early check in and late check-out which was a great gesture. Will definitely be back

The property was modern and cleaned and decorated to a high standard. The complimentary breakfast was very much appreciated. Self check-in was easy. Our only niggle was our accommodation smelt strongly of cigarette smoke as though someone had been smoking in the room. As nonsmokers this wasn't pleasant. The booking confirmation stated you get your check-in details and keybox code 24 hours prior however it's actually around lunchtime on the day. Updating this detail I'm sure would result in less queries for the owners/managers of the property.

Nice cosy little room we had for two nights. The view from the balcony is beautiful. Nice little touches with the water bottles in the fridge and breakfast items left on the table. Clean enough. Shower tray and tiles could do with a good scrub to look clean again. Check in was easy with self check in lock box to get room key. I was messaged a code to get into room. I was disappointed to see other guests not abiding to the rules as the room opposite us, the gentleman was smoking on his balcony which isn’t a pleasant smell if you are not a smoker. I would recommend friends and family to stay. Overall a lovely stay. Thank you

This is our third stay at the new hobbit. Communication is always great, offering early check in and check out if able. Perfect location for access to Halifax and piece hall and sowerby bridge itself. Very easy to get Uber pick up and drop off. Spotlessly clean with beautiful furnishings and a gorgeous view. Little extras like chilled water in the fridge, plenty of tea and coffee as well as the porridge pot and croissant for breakfast. Wonderful!

Lovely little place to stay unfortunately the cleaning let this down on this stay. I have atayed here multiple times for business, its quite, comfortable and out the way. No restaurant on site. Now we come to the issue of cleaning. The fridge in the room was a nice touch with bottled water but its stank like it hadnt been cleaned in months. Shower had hair from previous patron, and the desk still had sticky cup marks on it. I will have to give careful consideration when booking around this area in future.

This was what we needed for a brief stay in the Halifax area. Comfortable and well equipped, everything clean and in good working order. Great bed and linen, soft towels and decent size mugs for tea! It is far from everything, so need a car or get a taxi - in theory you should be able to walk to the nearest pub, but the reality is a vertical climb back in the evening! I do want to recommend the Puzzle Inn, which hosted the best musical evening I've ever been to in a pub.

There should be no concern about there not being a reception on hand, as I sent a text query and received an immediate response. I thoroughly recommend the New Hobbit and wouldn't hesitate to revisit.

There wasn’t much drawer space if staying for more than a couple of nights, but as I was only staying for one night I didn’t need it. The balcony as small, but allowed me the option to sit outside

The room was really nicely decorated and spacious enough for my stay. Bed was really comfortable and the bathroom was spotless. Only downside was that there are no facilities nearby as the pub is no longer functioning, however being brought up in Halifax I know my way around so this wasn't a problem. Complimentary breakfast items was a nice touch even though it is advertised as room only.

The radiator wasn’t even on so I don’t know if the heat was coming from the bathroom towel rail or internal building heating but I couldn’t sleep as it was so hot. Also pan au chocolat were left for breakfast and porridge pots but our pan au chocolat were out of date.

The room was great. Really quiet, clean and modern, and an excellent use of space. There was every appliance you'd need (kettle, fan, iron, TV, extra heater and even a fridge) and even some thoughtful touches with breakfast snacks included. Self check in and parking were simple and accompanied by clear instructions by the host on the day. It was convenient enough for visiting the Piece Hall and we'd definitely stay again.

Another excellent stay at the Hobbit host is very friendly and nothing too much trouble if you have any questions. Rooms are spotlessly clean and lovely decor. Car park right outside the door with ample parking. This time we had a ground floor room but still a lovely view of the valley. The porridge pots and croissants are a lovely touch. Also we were celebrating our anniversary and was given early check in and late check-out which was a great gesture. Will definitely be back

Location
Scenic hilltop setting with quiet surroundings and far-reaching views near Sowerby Bridge and Halifax. Access involves steep, narrow roads and a strenuous uphill walk, so many guests used taxis or drove.

A good alternative to staying in Halifax for us while visiting family. Clean and comfy room with a modern feel and easy contact-free checkin/out. Has parking, but we were car free so used local taxis for the most part to/from Sowerby Bridge centre (£10 each way) and also walked a few times (be aware, quite a steep but enjoyable climb, takes around 25 mins). Nice quiet surroundings and good views over the Calderdale valley. Although no on-site amenities now (shop/cafe/restaurant/bar) we appreciated the in-room tea/coffee and the mini toiletries. Only suggestion for improvement could be some sort of general vending machine of drinks/light snacks ? Overall a good find and would use again.

What a lovely little place , very clean and welcoming. Room was warm but a standing fan was in room. Self check in went very well. We arrive late at night but I had already got the details we needed by text message. Had a dog who settled very well for her 1st night away from home. Only downside if you are walking the hill to hotel is like a mountain 😂 made us all ready for a good nights sleep 😴

It wasn’t bad but I think there should be a caveat that it’s at the top of a hill and can only be accessed by car.

A very pleasant stay, self check in was smooth with lots of information provided and the instant porridge breakfast was a nice touch. An easy walk down to Sowerby Bridge for good pubs and restaurants, but recommended a taxi back, particularly at night.

Well presented terrace room with a super view down into the valley. Nice bathroom, particularly the combination rain shower. Fridge insitu. Bed was comfortable enough although was a bit warm under the duvet (even with the terrace door ajar all night) - then again, I do prefer a low tog duvet all year round. Access via car is up narrow, steep, uneven roads, but there is ample/secure parking on site. Check in via keybox - no meet and greet

Located about one mile from the train station. Not far, but it's all uphill! Great if you're driving as there is plenty of free parking.

Looking at the photos on the website I was expecting a hotel with a bar and restaurant so was disappointed when I realised it was just rooms. I should have read the reviews but selected it because friends were staying there. The drive from Sowerby Bridge was harrowing up the hill and as someone already commented, not for the faint hearted. Didn't want to go back down to find something to eat. However there is a better approach from Ripponden which I found out later. That said, the room was fresh, very clean, warm and comfortable. You could smell the cleanliness which is always good in my book. Very organised check in and out. Oh and the porridge and pastries were a nice surprise. Would I use again? All things considered maybe.

Nice clean room with everything you need. Room was very warm and not much ventilation. Location is interesting, amazing views but it is high on a hillside. So an easy walk down to the town but a bit of a hike back. Overall happy with our stay and would visit again.

The Hobbit Rooms are in a lovely quiet location high in the hills above Sowerby Bridge with lovely views. The rooms themselves are comfortable, clean and cozy with a really super fab shower. We’ve stayed there twice now and have booked again for Christmas. The Hobbit used to be a pub and restaurant too that has sadly closed but there are plenty of other options in Sowerby Bridge and surrounding areas.

Very confusing with the ‘old’ Hobbit web sites still online. New Hobbit has no restaurant or pub, though this was explained at final payment and full refund offered if this had mistakenly been expected. Also complementary croissants and instant porridge provided in the room, which I took advantage of. Overall a good stay if all you want is good, cosy room and take your own food and drink.

The room was really nicely decorated and spacious enough for my stay. Bed was really comfortable and the bathroom was spotless. Only downside was that there are no facilities nearby as the pub is no longer functioning, however being brought up in Halifax I know my way around so this wasn't a problem. Complimentary breakfast items was a nice touch even though it is advertised as room only.

Lovely room, modern, new decor, clean, good extras like ironing board and iron However the room was way too hot. The radiator wasn’t even on so I don’t know if the heat was coming from the bathroom towel rail or internal building heating but I couldn’t sleep as it was so hot. Also pan au chocolat were left for breakfast and porridge pots but our pan au chocolat were out of date.

The New Hobbitt Hotel was the first time we'd used a self checking facility and it was very efficient. We didn't really see any staff, other than in passing with housekeeping staff but rooms were very clean and well maintained. Beds were comfortable, water in the newly refurbished bathroom / shower was hot and towels were fluffy. The bottles of water, instant porridge and croissants were not expected but very welcome. There was plenty of parking. We would recomend this hotel and would be happy to stay again. Please note, the route from Sowerby Bridge town centre to the New Hobbit Hotel includes very steep hills and tight corners but the view is worth it!
