Charming
Good for special occasions
Great for fine wines

Having always been at the heart of Valley life, the 17th century Shibden Mill Inn was originally a corn and spinning mill, before being converted into a country pub in 1890.

Today’s visitors are welcomed with warm hospitality to enjoy first class dining against an inviting backdrop of open fires, low beamed ceilings and a cosy bar. Eleven individually styled bedrooms make comfortable and luxurious retreats, epitomising boutique country style and featuring lots of thoughtful touches.

And if you can drag yourself away from the Inn, there are wonderful walks from the doorstep and world class attractions within easy reach. For a spot of retail therapy or a cultural fix, Halifax is a 10-minute drive and Leeds is just 30 minutes away.

The food and service at the Shibden Mill Inn remains excellent. The Christmas menu contains the traditional dishes with some interesting twists on that available. We are irregular regulars as we no longer live locally though when visiting it is our go to GastroPub.

Very hearty food. The slab of ham in a cheese and egg sauce feeds you for the day when taken with the house bread. And that's a starter! The salt cod croquta is a fishcake they should call it that. Staff are focussed on their jobs but brighten up as soon as you ask for anything. Cask ale is good but there's a couple of vocation kegs on too. Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu, perhaps the lighter dishes so I can have more.
