Bull on the Bridge Head & Sowerby Taps in Sowerby Bridge

About us

Newly reopened after several years of closure this former grand hotel is still being refurbished, but the bar is now open. It's one room with a couple of alcoves near the windows. Nicely decorated throughout with a mix of comfy chairs, high tables and dining tables. Cask ales available and low in the Sowerby Taps a better range - awaiting a visit.

What a night. Works Christmas night out. The bar tender. As the lads call him. Was fantastic, friendly and happy. The lads loved the pole could not get them off it.

If it was possible to give zero stars I would. Avoid staying here if you can, while the location is good, the stairs up to rooms are disgustingly dirty, room itself not clean, no heating, no hot water, no remote for tv, no plug points for charging, absolutely zero service or help when requested. Possibly worst accommodation we have ever stayed in, a shame to the area

Afraid nothing good to say about our stay. It’s not a hotel, it’s a pub with rooms above. Cigarette buts on entrance and steep, dark stairs to room. The room was tiny with a double bed pushed up against one wall and just enough room to get in on the other side. No double glazing so we could hear the busy traffic. The room was dirty, damp and smelly with no hangers for clothes let alone wardrobe. The bedsheets were stained and the bed was extremely uncomfortable. Very noisy, only partition walls so awoke at 3am to hear couples conversation in next room. En-suit tiny but clean. No tray for cups meant tea/coffee rings from previous occupants on surface tops. Horrible, scruffy place.

A better pub than hotel. V pleasant staff. The hotel rooms are quite basic but clean. The live music did not affect us on the second floor. good playing too from a pal of Embrace. Friendly drinking crowd on a Friday night.
