Angeldale is a traditional Pennine B&B Guest House catering for tourists, cyclists, walkers and railway enthusiasts alike, all of whom can expect a very warm welcome from their hosts Christine and Stephen.
We are situated in a charming conservation area only a 2 minute easy level walk, from Hebden Bridge centre with all its substantial amenities: pubs, restaurants and tourist attractions.
Built around 1871 Angeldale is a spacious Victorian house with a garden to match. The house played an interesting part in local history. Originally called Ashley House, it was built by Thomas Barker, a Dyer and Cotton Manufacturer (and Calder Valley poet) of Hangingroyd Mill.
The house was passed on to his brother-in-law Joseph Thomas, also a Dyer, in 1890 and remained in his family until 1956 when it was acquired by Yorkshire Electricity for grandiose offices.
During war years soldiers were billeted in the mills and the Ministry of Works leased the house.WRVS used the house to provide hospitalities to the Royal Engineers. After the war the house was used as the local National Insurance and Dole Office. In 1971 the house was converted into a rest home for the elderly and again changed hands in 1985 when it was renamed Linden House after the four large, mature trees in the grounds.
Christine and Stephen bought and refurbished the house in 2000 for B&B, renaming it Angeldale. We often have guests who have come to research their local family histories and at Angeldale they find a kindred spirit in Christine who's ancestors were Pennine mill owners and dignitaries.
Staying at Angeldale you will be resident in this mill owner's former home overlooking the quaint cobbled streets of the mill workers cottages
Breakfast with social history! As you enjoy your special breakfast choice in our light and airy morning room, you will sense a feeling of grandeur and the stature of a Victorian mill owner, elevated above his workers homes.
At Angeldale we can accommodate you in a variety of rooms. Your choice ranges from medium sized, more cosy rooms with en-suite facilities, to our more spacious family sized rooms.
All rooms have central heating, hot and cold water, tea/coffee making facilities, hair dryers, shaving sockets and a TV as a minimum.
Angeldale also has a comfortable 'Open Lounge' suitable for you to relax, read, play table games or just chat with your hosts and fellow guests.
