The Toll House

Push open the door to The Toll House and you step into a compact living room with rustic stone flooring and a wood-burning stove, its walls dotted with character—an old safe and original fireplace speak to what this Grade II listed building once was. A dining area sits alongside, and upstairs a single bedroom holds a king-size bed. The shower room is fitted with a walk-in shower. What makes the space work is the kitchen, small but clever, equipped with a washing machine and dishwasher so you can actually live here for a week, not just visit.

Perched above Pecket Well, a Pennine village a little over a mile from Hebden Bridge, the toll house puts you near enough to the town's independent shops, bars and restaurants to visit easily, yet positioned to walk straight into open country. National Trust woodlands border the area; packhorse tracks cross the hills; the Calderdale Way circles nearby. There's a dog-friendly pub within a two-minute walk. Hebden Bridge itself—a Victorian railway town with direct services to Manchester and Leeds—sits two miles away. The property includes electricity, heating, Wi-Fi, bed linen and towels; there's parking on site and one dog is welcome. No smoking indoors.
