Details

Nestled high above the Denby Dale valley with sweeping views over West Yorkshire, Bagden Hall Hotel is more than just a retreat; it’s a Victorian country house that whispers tales of industry, elegance, and timeless charm. With roots in the 19th century, the Hall has borne witness to the rise of mills, the solace of countryside escapes, and reinvention into the warm, stylish Classic Lodges hotel it is today. With 40 acres of lawns, woodland and parkland, a shimmering lake, and period features throughout, the hall still holds onto its heritage charm but now with the comforts of a modern hotel, and a team who love what they do. This is a calm and restorative setting with a natural backdrop and extensive grounds for quiet contemplation. Midday meal included. Snacks Included—dietary requests catered to.
