For over 350 years The Shibden Mill Inn has been at the heart of life in West Yorkshire’s Shibden Valley.
The 17th century Inn is steeped in history – beginning life as a corn and spinning mill it was then sold to Halifax brewers the “Websters” in 1890 when it became a public house. Many years later the mill use has changed, but it is still bustling and thriving with activity – one of pleasure, fine food and world class wines.
Beautifully located in the stunning Shibden Valley, the Shibden Mill Inn is an ideal base from which to explore the surrounding countryside. In summer, the valley setting and lovely gardens beside Red Beck provide a perfect spot for alfresco dining, whilst in the cooler months, the Inn’s open fires provide a warm welcome for visitors. The Inn has been sympathetically renovated to retain its original charm and character by owners, Simon & Caitlin Heaton with General Manager, Glen Pearson. Together, they pride themselves on creating a magical place where visitors and locals can enjoy time well spent with family and friends, sharing in life’s special moments and shaping memories to last a lifetime.
Choose to experience AA 5 Silver Star Inn accommodation and 2 Rosette dining at its very best, at the highly-acclaimed Shibden Mill Inn and you will undoubtedly be planning your next visit before you have even left.
Head chef at the Shibden Mill Inn is William Webster who has previously worked at 4 Rosette Hipping Hall, and before that worked at the Michelin-starred Box Tree in Ilkley.
William prides himself in creating stunning Yorkshire menus using the best locally sourced ingredients. The Inn has its very own kitchen garden and William alters his menus each season so that the produce he uses is of the very best quality at the time.
Shibden Mill Inn has eleven en-suite bedrooms. These consist of the Standard Rooms, Superior Rooms and Bower Suite.
Each room in the 17th Century Inn has been restored and decorated by the owners and offers free WiFi, flat screen TV, DVD player with access to a DVD library, teas and coffees, towelling robes, ironing facilities, and comfortable double or king size beds with luxury soft furnishing. Guests are also given complimentary access to an exclusive member’s only health club.
