A perfect spot. The canal at bottom of the road and the cafe!

We loved The White Lion pub and ate there twice in the week and it was easy taking our dog in there too. Loved the walks along the canal and did venture up the hill to Crag and Coffee, although it wasn't open on the day we went. However the view and the walk was good. We found there was so much to do in and around the area and we were really lucky with the October Steam Weekend taking place at Keighley and Worth Valley Railway. We'll come again and feel inspired to even try a canal boat for a day or two. Thank you

The only thing we struggled with was the shower/bath. To use the bath you physically had to get in it to run it as the shower screen did not move. Would definitely return and recommend to family and friends
