I stopped over in the guest house for several weeks whist working over in Featherstone, and would recommend it to any other business men working in the West Yorkshire area, or any visitors for that matter! Carol and Tim were very accommodating from day one, and always a friendly and informative presence at breakfast. The bathrooms were spacious, clean and... More

Stayed here two nights last week in the Liquorice Room whilst working for a customer in Pontefract. Booking was simple to make on the web, where you can also view pictures of the room before you book. Each room is themed and... More

Friendly, clean and welcoming. Nicely decorated rooms and delicious breakfast at a low cost. Free wi-fi and parking. Instead of staying in one of the big impersonal hotel chains this is a good option for any business traveller or tourist in the region.
