Booked to stay here for one night for our wedding anniversary booked a table in the restaurant. When we sat down the Restaurant was not busy at all and we ordered food starters one soup and one scallops and mains one salad and a burger. After a while the waitress returned to say she got the type of soup wrong, so we said don’t worry about soup, and we would just have one starter the scallops, we then waited and waited nothing appeared 45 minutes later waitress came back and said mixup in kitchen, the mains were ready but not the starter (scallops) did we want the mains first then the starter afterwards! At this point having waited nearly an hour for our food, we decided to cancel the meal altogether and leave. Although the meal was then offered foc the special occasion had been spoilt by the poor service. We had booked to stay here again later in the year but we have cancelled this booking, as we didn’t want to take a chance and have them spoil another special day, we won’t return here.

We always visit the White Lion around 3 times per year. Its situated in a great location with free parking. The hotel and food are excellent. We feel its great value for money. Customer service is also excellent. I always recommend the White Lion to friends and damiky.

Only minor niggles.

Just a couple of minor niggles, which did not really detract from the overall impression of a great place to stay in Hebden Bridge. Our room was spacious and comfortable but had a broken lamp shade and a loose leg on the dressing table stool both of which should be easy fixes. The bathroom was lovely and the free standing bath a bonus but the addition of a shelf near the sink or hook on the back of the door would be useful, as there was nowhere to put toiletry bags other than the top of the toilet cistern! The bins being wheeled over the cobbles below our window at 5am was very annoying. However, the service was excellent and food good and we would certainly recommend as a place to stay.

Comfortable stay

I reserved room 2 when I booked in March and was shown to room 6 - which I declined. So moved to room 3 which was acceptable, though I do think a gesture could have been made to apologise eg free drink

Great stay.

Arrived over an hour before standard check-in and room was ready. Lovely, large room in a cottage by the river with free parking. Staff Lovely & friendly. Got back just before 11pm and was able to get more milk for a late brew. Only grumble, not enough milk left in the first place. Loved our Eggs Royale for breakfast. 11am check out is just right. Would reccomend.

On first arrival no where to park. Finally managed park on car park but had to climb over passenger side to get out because was so little space. When got in room very nice indeed but the 3 bins in there were full of rubbish from previous guests the day after 2 of them were emptied. Had evening meal very nice but next morning had breakfast and the beans were off following morning breakfast was spot on. Would of liked a iron in the room other than that was lovely stay.cheers

Excellent stay with just a couple of minor issues

We stayed in Hebble for two nights. The room was lovely with high quality fixtures and fittings. The shower in particular was excellent. The staff throughout the pub were consistently friendly and helpful. There were just two issues: 1. When we got back to our room at 5pm after our first night we found that the room had not been cleaned / made up. We weren’t worried about the bed being made or towels replaced but it also meant that the bathroom supplies and drinks caddy hadn’t been replenished. However as soon as I reported it one of the staff apologised and promptly brought us new supplies 2. There is no means of controlling the temperature in the room. The weather was cold outside so it was good to have a warm room to come back to. However the radiators were on all night and couldn’t be switched off. This made the room far too warm for comfortable sleeping

We loved our stay at the White Lion. Rooms were lovely- a view of the river i would recommend. Food was lovely- breakfast and evening meal. The staff were lovely. Hebden Bridge was at its best, in the sunshine on the day we visited. Lots to do on the door step of the hotel, all within easy strolling distance. Market day was the Thursday we were there which was worth a visit. We parked away from the hotel, as the Hotel car park was full when we arrived- but this wasnt too far to walk so not a problem.

Fabulous place to stay.

A lovely stop over weekend to see a play at Hebden Bridge Little Thatre. The hotel was busy , the staff were very helpful and friendly and the breakfasts were massive. It’s a very old building with charm and character right in the centre of the Town.

Hebden Bridge

Arrived and checked in for 1 night bed and breakfast...duvet cover on the bed was dirty so we complained and got it changed, we also got a free drink at the bar, the room was adequate but for a 4 star needed a little TLC, seal on the bottom of the shower was coming off, no toilet brush for cleaning, lock on bathroom door didnt work, material on the stool by dressing table was stained, carpet was threadbare in 2 places, breakfast was average, no cereal, yoghurt or fruit...had an evening meal in the bar my steak and ale pie was so oversalted it ruined it...for £165 a night for 2 people we wont be going back.

Romantic weekend away for Valentine's

The room was amazing very clean, comfortable and modern. The bed was very comfy. The shower was walk in and very hot. The view from our room shown the river and was very beautiful to look at The only thing about the room was the road traffic noise you could hear. The pub itself was very busy and the breakfast was really good. We also had a meal and that was brilliant too. The staff was very helpful and really informative. Would recommend a stay here.

One night stay in cold February

Our stay was lovely overall and so was the Hotel. Fantastic location in the middle of town just what we needed. If you want to park in their car park space is very limited and I would advise you get there early to guarantee a space otherwise you will have to find parking elsewhere which is at a premium if it’s busy. The room was lovely we stayed in the main part of the pub and although really busy we weren’t disturbed by any noise. We ate at night in the restaurant and the food was good, the front of house host was a little frosty though ! Breakfast was amazing. All in all thoroughly recommended
