10 minutes walk from railway station via canal-side and park. Good range of walks direct from house including Hardcastle Crags, Lumb Falls, Hebden Circular via Heptonstall, along canal to Todmorden, so car not required. Good bus service to Howarth for Bronte museum. Very nice cinema with good varied programme. Well-stocked Co-op supermarket and local independent shops (Julie's vegetable one). Comfort reduced only by limited headroom upper bedroom..Attractive well-preserved town..

Megs Den was a perfect location & convenient for all we needed The owner communicated directly to provide some great tips on the local area & a nice that we had milk, and some drinks ready for our arrival, also tea, coffee & sugar along with washing up items The beds were very comfortable & bathroom was also great My only comments would be that some more comfortable furniture would be good in the living room & the carpets need a good clean, I know itâs suitable for dogs, but we thought a new more forgiving colour or a deep clean would improve the property as we paid premium price due to the time of year, but think a spruce up is needed Really enjoyed our stay though so thank you
