Bed & Breakfast through the seasons
High above Stanbury, on the edge of the moor the Brontes knew and loved, we overlook Ponden Reservoir, where no two days are the same, but every day is beautiful.

“Ponden Hall is surrounded by the beautiful, rolling greenery of the Yorkshire countryside. I visited for a tour around the hall whose stunning architecture dates back to the 1500s. Ponden Hall is mindful of its literary and historical traditions and provides a pleasant and truly memorable experience. I’m sure I will be returning in the future.”

Everyone should visit Ponden Hall. For me, the initial draw was the house’s literary ties, and it didn’t disappoint there: there are period details everywhere to stir up the imagination.
What really surprised me was the warmth of the place – it was nothing like the forbidding Wuthering Heights depicted in the novel! I couldn’t think of a more welcoming, cosy and comfortable place to spend a hard-earned break.
