THORPE HOUSE is situated in the rural heart of West Yorkshire within minutes of Sowerby Bridge Hebden Bridge and Halifax. This original 18-century mill owners mansion has achieved a Grade II listing and been elegantly restored throughout merging many original features with modern luxuries. The property stands in its own private grounds surrounded by dense woodland around an impressive private lake. Guests can enjoy quality local produce for breakfast whilst overlooking the grounds or relax in fine surroundings in their elegant bedrooms or our comfortable period lounge. The house has been described by one of our guests as a lovely place which puts its arms around you and gives you a hug. It took lots of hard work to create the elegant and relaxing ambience of the place sourcing original colours materials and talented craftsmen to decorate the individual rooms. All the renovations are true to the history of the House (take a special look at the old Housekeepers room and the walk-in wardrobes.) The cantilever staircase frequently gets a wow when guests arrive and the Georgian formality has been called the Downton feel by guests.
All rooms are en-suite and prices are inclusive of full English breakfast and free Wi-Fi. Rooms retain their Georgian features including fireplaces doors and cornices. Most rooms have their original hand-made keys.
Our private gardens with its quaint sitting areas offer an opportunity to quietly watch the local extensive bird life. If you are an lucky early riser you may just see the deer grazing.
