AVOID

Booked a 2 night stay from 9th to 11th December 2024.Shown our room by Sam Room absolutely freezing,no heating on,top of bedding and towels felt damp. Sam put on radiator and gave us a small radiator to help warm the room.Heated towel rail in cold bathroom also not working.After 2 hours still no central heating. Reported to Sam,who said she would report it to maintenance and gave us an extra fan heater. Not able to access normal TV channels on tv.We went out for a meal so couldn't leave the fan heaters for safety reasons.On return put on the 2 fan heaters to warm the room.We had to sit in our coats untill the room warmed up. Could not leave the heaters on all night because of the noise, would not be able to sleep and for fire safety.We had to sleep in clothes to keep warm. Mattress very uncomfortable, duvet thin,had asked for an extra, but did not receive one.Bedding crumpled like someone had slept in it and not changed.This may be,as reading the last review by Nigel,he left the property earlier in the morning as it was so cold,and it was obvious that he had the same problems as us with the lack of heating,so management knew there was no central heating when we booked in Disgusted that they let the room and took our money.We left on the 10th,as could not stand another night in that cold uncomfortable room.As the pub is not staffed until 3pm there is no one to see in the morning.Tried to see Sam on the afternoon of the 10th before we left,but she was not available.NEVER AGAIM

No heating on in December !

Stayed here mid December. Checked in at 3pm and was shown to the room. I immediately noticed there was no heating on / it was freezing cold and raised this. I was told the radiator valves had been opened and it should come in later, but if not, there’s an additional heater in the cupboard. On returning to the room around 9pm, there was still no heating on / still very cold. So I dug out the small fan heater and plugged it in and got into a cold bed with a THIN SUMMER duvet ??. I eventually nodded off, but kept waking up with the cold, as the fan heater was insufficient. Left the room at 4.30am.

The room itself was clean but the hallway and rest of building accessible to guests was filthy. The room was also freezing so did not provide a good night's rest. I only met one member of staff and she was lovely.

Arrived quite late around 9pm but this was no problem. The room we were given was quite simply stunning. A beautiful rustic attic room with wooden floors and huge beams spanning the ceiling. There was a 60 inch TV and Netflix was provided free of charge which was a nice surprise. All in all I couldn't recommend this place enough. Staff are friendly and helpful, nothing is too much to ask for. A thoroughly enjoyable stay.

A Nice, No Frills Place To Stay

My stay at The Shepherds Rest was for only one night. During my brief stay the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was compact, neat and clean,with a double bed, toilet, shower and drinks making facilities. I found this room more than adequate for my needs. There was no TV, which might not be for everyone. The location is in close proximity to a bus stop, if you wish to access the local bus transport network, which is approximately 15 - 20 mins travelling time to Halifax town centre. There are local shops, takeaways and eateries that are a short walk away and there is a pub of course, downstairs. There are a couple of flights of steps to access the room, which could potentially be an issue. I would advise to clarify about checking out and enquire about wifi. I would say that if you want a 'no frills' room as a base to stay, for work, to commute, to walk and explore the area then The Shepherds Rise might be an ideal place to stay.
