The Hobbit - Calderdale

We stayed at The Hobbit for a couple of nights near the beginning of August after its reopening due to covid. The hotel is tucked away on a hillside overlooking Sowerby Bridge. The room was in an annexe very modern and clean. The views over the hills were a lovely sight especially as you could sit outside for a drink and chill as we were very lucky with the weather. Obviously at this time we had to follow guidelines and the staff seemed to cope really well as it was all new to them also as the hotel had only recently opened up for business again. Breakfast was good with enough to start you for the day. We did book dinner on the first night but wasn't overly impressed. The hotel is a good point to stay for local visits. We managed to travel to Hebden Bridge and Haworth in one day and take in some of the local culture. Would certainly use this hotel again.

...... after a long drive we really wanted a fairly quiet meal and have eaten here once before so we’re looking forward to it. Alas, group of locals in adjacent bar were making so much noise it was hard to have a decent conversation. Food and service good but spoilt by noisy drinkers! In fairness I should think locals spend a lot of money here but answer would be to separate bar and restaurant area.

I visited The Hobbit on Sunday 30th December with my wife my son and my mother and farther in law for a sunday afternoon carvery. It wasnt very busy but i have to say the staff were wonderful. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced. Overall i would recommend The Hobbit

Working up and around Hebden Bridge area, and was looking for a base to test while working away. The Rooms with breakfast were great value, clean and importantly a good bathroom. The location is ideal not just for working, but for tourists too as a beautiful area. Bar and restaurant bright, clean, nicely appointed and fair choice on the menu

This place is a bit strange. I've been familiar with it since the lively days of the 70s and 80s. We stopped by for a drink. It feels a bit cold and sterile now. It doesn't have the cheerful vibe of a pub, more like a restaurant. The food is supposed to be good though.
