We hire group houses pretty much every year over the new year period, honestly the best one yet. Truly beautiful property in beautiful surroundings. Really close to Hebden Bridge, bus stop literally right at the end of the driveway with hourly busses right into the village so highly recommend doing that if you want a drink, the other way goes into Keighley which we only went to to do a food shop but apparently there's load to do there too. Internet and mobile service weren't super fast, but we had no problem streaming films/TV so long as everyone else wasn't on the wifi. Most of the houses we've stayed at have the same problem when theres load of us all on the internet at once though so it's not anything we were fussed about to be honest. Bond was also returned in full on the same day so no issues there. Mark may aswell have kept hold of the deposit because we'll deffo be back..!

All the bedrooms were beautiful, beds very comfortable. We used the hot tub each day, it really was delightful, robes, towels and flip flops are provided. The lounge is comfortable and cosy, we used the log burner with the logs provided and we asked Mark for more logs which he provided for a small charge, nothing was too much trouble. We would definitely recommend The Retreat, it is a beautiful place to stay with utterly wonderful views .
