Newly renovated, to a high standard, accommodation above this local pub. Manager and staff very welcoming and happy to answer any questions raised. A large breakfast is also offered, and at £9.95 per person was excellent value.

Stayed at the Shepherd’s Rest as it is close to our daughter’s new house and there are limited chain-hotel options close by. The establishment is a pub with rooms upstairs. No on-site parking but plenty of available spaces on the street outside. No food when we were there but there are lots of other options within walking distance.

Very dark and gloomy

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

8/10 Very good

Bearing in mind the cheap price it was satisfactory. Bed was VERY low and whilst a double it was tight up against a wall on one side and less than a foot on the other, so would not have been at all suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Bathroom small but good. No indication of food available on site but we eat out anyway. Staff friendly, some road noise as needed window open as it was hot. Not sure why there was also a big sink in the room. Overall ok but would not want to pay more.

Disappointed

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.

Arrived quite late around 9pm but this was no problem. The room we were given was quite simply stunning. A beautiful rustic attic room with wooden floors and huge beams spanning the ceiling. There was a 60 inch TV and Netflix was provided free of charge which was a nice surprise. All in all I couldn't recommend this place enough. Staff are friendly and helpful, nothing is too much to ask for. A thoroughly enjoyable stay.

The room itself was clean but the hallway and rest of building accessible to guests was filthy. The room was also freezing so did not provide a good night's rest. I only met one member of staff and she was lovely.

A Nice, No Frills Place To Stay

My stay at The Shepherds Rest was for only one night. During my brief stay the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was compact, neat and clean,with a double bed, toilet, shower and drinks making facilities. I found this room more than adequate for my needs. There was no TV, which might not be for everyone. The location is in close proximity to a bus stop, if you wish to access the local bus transport network, which is approximately 15 - 20 mins travelling time to Halifax town centre. There are local shops, takeaways and eateries that are a short walk away and there is a pub of course, downstairs. There are a couple of flights of steps to access the room, which could potentially be an issue. I would advise to clarify about checking out and enquire about wifi. I would say that if you want a 'no frills' room as a base to stay, for work, to commute, to walk and explore the area then The Shepherds Rise might be an ideal place to stay.

2/10 Poor

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.

No heating on in December !

Stayed here mid December. Checked in at 3pm and was shown to the room. I immediately noticed there was no heating on / it was freezing cold and raised this. I was told the radiator valves had been opened and it should come in later, but if not, there’s an additional heater in the cupboard. On returning to the room around 9pm, there was still no heating on / still very cold. So I dug out the small fan heater and plugged it in and got into a cold bed with a THIN SUMMER duvet ??. I eventually nodded off, but kept waking up with the cold, as the fan heater was insufficient. Left the room at 4.30am.

2/10 Poor

Start elsewhere

Booked a stay with my partner and unfortunately, it didn’t meet expectations. The room was situated in the eaves, which made it hard to stand upright in places—we kept catching our heads when getting in and out of bed. The bed itself was extremely uncomfortable, with springs pushing through the mattress and a broken base that offered no support. It must have been the cheapest bed they could find. We ended up cutting our stay short and leaving early just to get some rest at home. Which was disappointing when we had booked a day of work and could have finally had a lie in. The bathroom was very compact to say the least, the sink was tiny and positioned awkwardly over the toilet, making it difficult to use. Only one small towel was provided between the two of us, and there was no staff on site in the morning, that we could find, to ask for more. Overall, the room was very poor and not well thought out. It was unclear how fire safety standards were being met, as we were at the very top of the building with one staircase down and the bedroom door didn’t look reassuring in that regard. So if there was a fire outside our door I don’t know how we would get out or if the bedroom door would hold long enough. Disappointing experience and not somewhere we’d choose to stay again. Having to get up early because we couldn’t lie in the bed any longer was not what we were looking for and having to leave to come home and have a shower and get back in bed for some actual sleep is not good.
Bed wasn’t even put together properly so cracked my legs on getting out.
Cheapest futon but neatly put it in the bed to try and add some padding.
