Beautiful gardens at this national trust property. Very compact so all parts could be visited in about half a day. Great woodland mud kitchen area for children and wooden mice to spot in the hall. All volunteers we met were friendly and helpful.
Very interesting house with magnificent rose windows. Step into the history of the wealthy Halifax family to discover how the hall has changed throughout the years. Guides of the hall kindly answer any questions you may have and tell you the history of the family in detail. Lovely gardens let visitors relax while walking between blooming trees and tulips. Worth a visit if you are in the area. Only the pond at the front of the house needs a bit of cleaning
This was a fantastic national trust property, really enjoyed it with lots of history. All the staff members we spoke to were very knowledgeable. This made it and I learnt so much. So it’s a must see if you are in the area 5 star ⭐️ definitely with seeing.
I had a lovely afternoon at East Riddlesden Hall, it was their Christmas fayre and there was also a choir singing too. A lovely festive atmosphere with lots of beautiful gift ideas from the many artisans and craftspeople. I had a delicious cheese scone and tea in the Bothy Tearoom and chose several gifts from their lovely shop.
Then I wandered around the gardens in the beautiful sunny but freezing weather and the garden looked lovely covered with frost. A lovely day out all round.
This is a gem of a National Trust site. Neither the house nor gardens are huge but the presentation is first class. This is a bit more of a "normal" house than most NT sites. That makes it a bit more accessible than is often the case. The labelling and information is great and the volunteers were really enthusiastic.
There is a pleasant walk for 25 minutes beside the river, lots of good picnic sites and it is quite dog friendly. The small cafe staff were friendly and efficient which is not always the way at NT sites. The food was simple but good and the gluten free availability was better than many larger sites.

A fascinating couple of hours, nestled into Keighley and a great place to while away the time learning about the history of this old hall.
The cafe is as good as all NT cafes always are, and the staff & volunteers can't do enough to help.
Great peace of history with Hall set up as it would have been in the day Well done National trust
Brilliant day out, very relaxed looking around the house and grounds. Good for children and adults. Fabulous cafe, which we lingered in. Then browsed in the gift shop. We will be back.
Very interesting place to visit. Staff extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Great gift shop and cafe. Plenty parking
Best Scone I have ever had at the Cafe. Lovely friendly people there and great knowledgeable volunteers. Loved the property but it was the volunteers that made it because I learnt a lot. You must go to the Cafe as well. Lovely food freshly baked.
