About us

Surrounded by true Yorkshire history, the stunning countryside of the Pennines, and the deep ravined valleys of Calderdale; the area is popular with walkers, cyclists, country lovers, and those just in search of a contrast to a hectic lifestyle. Although nestled in the centre of the town near the ‘Yorkshire Bohemian’ shops for which Hebden Bridge is quite famous; the countryside can be easily accessed by foot straight from the doorstep of the inn. And that same doorstep has frequently offered a place of respite to many attempting the Pennine Way, or the more recent Tour De France cycle route. If sight-seeing is more your activity, then the famous sites of Haworth (with its Bronte Sisters and Railway Children heritage) and the World Heritage Site of Salts Mill in Saltaire, are all within very easy access. Close enough to the main rail and motorway networks, and just far enough away from the vibrant cities of Leeds and Manchester; the White Lion is ideally based for business or leisure.

And if you were to require an excuse to stay with us for longer, then there are 10 spacious en-suite rooms to choose from. The newly refurbished Boutique bedrooms, with Victorian Roll-Top baths, Sleigh beds, and deep luxurious colours; are complemented by our cosy Courtyard Cottages - perfect for walkers, dog friendly, and with the riverside literally at your front door. All rooms benefit from free Wifi.

Dated 1657, the White Lion is reputed to be the oldest building in the beautiful town of Hebden Bridge, which is renown for its independent lifestyle, creativity, and philosophy - the Yorkshire way! We very much look forward to extending a real Yorkshire welcome to you soon.

Went for some lunch today, just about every table was reserved so we sat in the area reserved for dogs. I got a pint of beer which was sour and clearly off. I took it back and politely said I think it was off but there was no apology and it was like I'd done something wrong. We got a beef sandwich and bread nibbles. The beef was tough but ok, the bread was nice. I've given them 2 stars as the gravy was excellent. The bread nibbles were a joke, I was expecting a plate of artisan bread, but it was two slices of brown bread and some butter and it cost £5.50... Won't be returning.

Went here for a meal with my wife. I had the featherblade beef and my wife had the partridge. I cant praise the food enough it was absolutely gorgeous. The beef melted in the mouth and the partridge (Yes I stole some) was beautiful. Service was fantastic and the pricing was adequate to the food you received. Will return again for some tasty food.

02/10/23: service wasn't great and we waited an hour for food. Drink service not an issue. Ordered food. Waited nearly an hour for a food for 3 people. However, the pie was fantastic! Really enjoyed it! Actually to be fair, despite the service the food was outstanding! Food here is a must. Changed (on reflection) from a 3* to 5*.

Absolutely loved our stay at White Lion Pub / Hotel - very central location, excellent food, tasteful interior. The room has been our favourite on our entire Yorkshire trip. The mattress has been the most comfortable I have ever slept on!!

Popped into this lovely pub during my trip to Hebden Bridge, very welcoming and cosy little place. The service was quick and especially the young man who served me was so lovely. I got the steak burger, and the chips were the best I’ve ever had. I really enjoyed my meal, I’d definitely return. Really nice atmosphere and they also play great music. Brill!
