Bagden Hall Hotel in Kirklees

Rooms good. Staff and food 1st class

Lovely hotel, this is the fourth time of stopping here, as we travel over from Ireland to visit family and friends, staff are very nice, grounds are well kept, food is always nice, if you’ve not stopped here at Christmas I recommend you do, it’s lovely.

As a hotel, seeing it from the outside, it is a well presented classical building. The rooms themselves were also well presented although a bit basic at points. For example, a big bathroom with a sizeable shower, but no shelf to put bottles on. As one might expect from the building, sound travels a lot. With a wedding on, there were excitable children running down the halls at points, and above us and it was incredibly noisy. The food at the hotel was good, fancy enough for it to feel like more than your typical meal but nothing too fancy that you'd think it's going to be too grand for the average person. It was very enjoyable. Staff were a mix of friendly and disinterested depending on who you dealt with. My biggest complaint would be the showers didn't provide hot water well which is a big thing for me. My wife wanted a shower and ended up with it going cold on her. When I took one the next morning it took ages but it eventually went warm. My guess is that it depends on how many guests are showering at one time. This was an anniversary for us to the point we did the whole "rose petals" on the bed package. It was okay but nothing felt overly special during our stay.

I recently attended a wedding here and stayed for one night. I had a light lunch which was very nice and reasonably priced. I’d booked a small double room believing that it would be a slightly smaller room than the ones in the photos but within our budget. Unfortunately, this was not the case. The room was probably the smallest I have ever stayed in! My husband was unable to come at the last minute which was quite ‘fortunate’ as we would have really struggled to both get ready in the tiny amount of space in the room! The radiator didn’t work at all as the regulator seemed broken. Also, the shower curtain over the bath was very old and stained black along the bottom edge. Along with having to pay an extra £25 to gain access to the room early made this overnight stay an expensive stay with quite poor value for money.

Absolutely loved our stay. We had our vow renewal service here and it was faultless. The gent in charge of us on the morning was called Kurtis same name as our son. He was very calming and reassured us continually. He e would definitely recommend holding a wedding /party/ if any kind here and we will definitely be coming back.

Just wanted to say thanks again for a great stay at Bagden Hall. This time I had my 2 sisters with me and they really enjoyed it too. All the Staff at Bagden are so professional and polite. This time I misplaced quite an expensive part of my earring but the young man (apologies cannot remember his name) on Reception yesterday morning (21/10) found it for me. I was over the moon. It was lovely to see Caroline again who always makes us feel very welcome. Keep up the great work. Looking forward as always to our next visit.

Lovely hotel great room. Friendly staff. Good breakfast. Beautiful location

Stunning wedding venue where we recently had the pleasure of having ours. We have been looked after since booking by Abbey, Marisa and Kurtis, who have been so accomodating and supportive of our requests throughout. All the staff at the hotel are friendly. We've visited a number of times now for meals including the afternoon tea and Sunday roast and the food has been delicious each time, with generous portions! Absolutely would recommend this hotel as a fantastic place to stay, that is great value and has nice scenery.

My husband and I had an enjoyable two day break staying in the main house, we was upgraded to a suite whilst booking direct, the room was lovely, a huge ensuite with free standing bath and large walk-in shower.. the staff was welcoming, courteous and polite, food excellent, the setting of Bagden Hall within it’s own garden was beautiful, I loved the folly by the lake, I visited it just before sundown, the ducks was coming back home and landing on the lake for the night, felt really special, overall well worth the stay 🙂

The hotel was very good old worldly and the the food was excellent the staff were very polite, helpful and friendly excellent service , really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely stay for one night, a great base for visiting the surrounding areas including Cannon Hall Farm. Staff are friendly and attentive. Special mentions to Caroline for the fan (thank you!), and Sam who was serving on the bar. Last time we visited about 15 years ago it was busy with a wedding, we had deliberately chosen a week day this time so it was quieter, which we preferred. Breakfast was good, as were our Bistro evening meals. We will hopefully return again soon.

Everything really good👍. Staff, food and huge welcoming room after a long drive. Overnight staff particularly helpful. Cheers

An excellent hotel in a part of West Yorkshire where there's limited choice. Very comfortable, and well run by capable people who care about their work. A good restaurant and bar. Cost is very attractive for the level of service they provide. Result.

My wife and I recently enjoyed our first visit to this hotel for a 3 night break. It wont be our last. From the moment we arrived we were impressed with the location of the hotel, set in wonderful panoramic views. We were very impressed with the proffessionalism of all members of staff from the front of house , all the members of waiting staff in the restaurant, as well as the bar staff . I would like to say a big thank you to Rachael in housekeeping as nothing was too much trouble for her. A special mention must be given to the kitchen staff who we didn't meet but who provided meals of exceptional quality. There was plenty of choice both at breakfast and of an evening. Everything was cooked to perfection, piping hot and so delicious. Thank you all for a wonderful memorable stay. As the big man says, We'll be back.

Pleasant country house hotel in attractive grounds. Service and staff were excellent and food and value for money very good. Disappointing to be asked to pay for the room on arrival rather than on departure, but we enjoyed a pleasant stay

Imposing building. Very helpful staff. Good bedside lighting. Good size comfortable bed not smothered in pointless cushions but good pillows. We enjoyed dinner and breakfast with excellent staff. Good wifi. Quiet. The main suprise was the very reasonable price. We 'found' it looking for somewhere close to the excellent Yorkshire sculpture park and would certainly recommend it

An amazing venue for my step daughters wedding, Very friendly staff who left you feeling nothing was any trouble. Very comfortable quiet rooms. All food was to a high standard, the cherry on top being that all this was set among beautifully managed gardens and views to die for.

went for a charity event Afternoon Great food, Great service Lots of food provided with tea and coffee drinks at the bar was card payment only Highly recommend

Great service, but unfortunately our room was in the lakeside which was really noisy,doors banging and boiler really loud all the time. Great breakfast.

I’d like to thank all at Bagden Hall for they have done for us over the past 2 weekends. Had my daughters weeding last week and my wife and I renewed our weeding vows yesterday. Couldn’t have asked for any more, everything was spot on. Thanks again Linda & Nigel

We came to spend the night after going to the Yorkshire sculpture park and found the place to be really lovely. I will happily go back again, the Staff were Super helpful, very kind and thoughtful. The room was lovely, we had a suite, and it was large, airy and clean with a beautiful bath. Thank you everyone there for a lovely day.

If you're thinking of getting married then this is the a great choice staff are amazing and food is top notch and bridal suite is luxurious 👰‍♀️🤵‍♂️💍

Beautiful place for my partner's father's 80th birthday celebration. The staff is amazing and friendly,thank you so so much!!!

Recently stayed in the cuttlehurst suite. Lovely spacious room. Super attentive, friendly and helpful staff. They made us both and our dog feel at home immediately. Great breakfast and evening meal, will 100% be back!

Fabulous room food and location.friendly staff.

Went to a wedding reception and it was a super place to go to. We didn't stay in the hotel

Sent are love letters plus mirror booth for a wedding great location and service

Booked for a nights stay on a special offer. Admittedly it was a very low price but I received a confirmation. The next day it was cancelled without any explanation. I contacted reservations who could not help. Said they would ask someone to contact me. That was three days ago. 🤷 Very unprofessional.

Really nice afternoon tea and good service. Nice sandwiches, scones with proper clotted cream and variety of cakes. Just the right amount, we got through it having not eaten lunch but couldn't have eaten any more. The only minor disappointment was the loose leaf tea was out of stock so while specialty tea was available we had this in teabags. We got a big teapot each and were offered more hot water but it would have been better to get a smaller pot plus extra water to help avoid stewing. Paid with a gift voucher. We did have issues with the website the voucher came from and wouldn't use that site again but that wasn't the fault of the hotel.

The suite in the main house was great. The wooden staircase in combination with red gave you that warm feeling. Breakfast menu was very good and enough choice. Pls invest in better teapots because they are leaking when pouring. The coffee percolator and pots were far too big for 1 person and 90% was a waste. Dinner portions in the small area (I had pasta with mushrooms) were far too big that it's not attractive anymore and lots of waste.

Had an afternoon tea. Lovely food and staff.

It's absolutely amazing. I've been here for the second time with my wife, and the afternoon tea is fantastic. The service is also great

We held my late father's funeral reception at Bagden Hall in December 2023. It was extremely disappointing to say the least. We paid £18.95 per head for a buffet. This was planned for 25 people but the food was barely sufficient for the 14 attendees. The bread was stale and the variety was poor and certainly did not reflect the price paid. Response from management was wholly defensive and did not accept our complaint. Go to the local chip shop instead or perhaps Burger King. Dreadful.
