Inspector comments
"This is the place to go off-grid. Bedrooms with no TVs."
Overview
The Penny Bun is a new-age inn, part of Denton Reserve, a project which aims to rethink 2,500 acres of Yorkshire countryside while combating climate change. Inside, the style is very earthy, with brown tones, sustainable materials, clay-plaster walls, wood beams and moody lighting. There are 5 screen-free bedrooms upstairs, all of which feature furniture and accessories from independent craftspeople or companies that value sustainability and quality. Meals are served downstairs, in a restaurant with a strong 'Field to Fork' ethos.

About the area
Everybody knows that Yorkshire has some special landscapes. The Dales and the Moors first spring to mind, but what about West Yorkshire? That’s Leeds and Bradford isn’t it? Back-to-back houses and blackened mills… Certainly if you had stood on any of the hills surrounding Hebden Bridge a hundred years ago, and gazed down into the valley, all you would have seen was the pall of smoke issuing from the chimneys of 33 textile mills.
