Manor House Lindley
Maximalist Georgian grandeur meets contemporary personality. Every room takes a different design direction — Far East, William Morris, House of Hackney prints, exposed beams. The bars range from a glitzy lounge bar to an underground cellar with live music to a rooftop garden. It's theatrical and opinionated, but never stuffy.
Room 3 is a two-floor suite with the most spectacular bathroom in the building — twin sinks and a black roll-top bath
Why It Matters
Ranked 38th in the UK's Top 50 Boutique Hotels. Holds 5 AA Gold Stars and 3 AA Rosettes for its Lantern Room restaurant. Winner of Best Hotel Interior at the Northern Design Awards. The building itself is historically significant — the adjacent Lindley Clock Tower, commissioned by the same mill owner, was designed by revered Art Nouveau architect Edgar Wood and stands 83 feet tall.
A Grade II listed Georgian mansion that sat derelict for over 20 years before owner Sara Presley sank £4.5 million into restoring it. She opened the doors in April 2018 and turned it into one of West Yorkshire's most distinctive small hotels. Eleven individually designed rooms, three bars with very different personalities, a 3 AA Rosette restaurant, and a private gym — all packed into a golden-stone building that started life in 1874 as the home of local mill owner James Nield Sykes.
Where You'll Stay
11 room types available
Room 1 — Diamond
From GBP169 / nightGeorgian grandeur with Far East influences. A four-poster bed faces a roll-top bath — a combination that makes a strong case for never getting dressed. Rooms 1 and 2 share a light-filled private lounge.
Four-poster
Room 10 — Gold
From GBP169 / nightGround floor and tucked into the internal courtyard, so it's secluded in a way the upper rooms aren't. The original fireplace and freestanding roll-top bath make it feel like a discovery.
KingRoom 2 — Platinum
From GBP169 / nightSpacious and dramatically decorated. Shares the light-filled private lounge with Room 1. There's a balcony too, which in Yorkshire you take whenever you can get it.
Super KingRoom 3 — Diamond
From GBP169 / nightThe showstopper. Set across two floors with exposed beams and — the main event — a bathroom with a black roll-top bath and twin sinks so no one has to share. The Good Hotel Guide calls it 'outstanding'.
KingRoom 4 — Platinum
From GBP169 / nightFor those who like their rooms with personality. The House of Hackney print wallpaper makes an immediate impression. Super king bed, views overlooking the fountain in the front garden.
Super KingRoom 5 — Gold
From GBP169 / nightModern and moody — dark decor does the heavy lifting for sleep quality. The walk-in wet room is unexpectedly generous for a Gold-tier room.
KingRoom 6 — Gold
From GBP169 / nightNew England-inspired with a classic blue and white palette. Walk-in shower, super king bed. A calmer option if you find some of the other rooms a bit much.
Super KingRoom 7 — Gold
From GBP169 / nightThe most compact of the rooms, but the exposed beams give it a lot of character. Walk-in shower. Good choice if you plan to spend most of your time in the bars and restaurant.
KingRoom 8 — Platinum
From GBP169 / nightWilliam Morris is the design reference here — calm, patterned, and full of natural light. The super king bed is generously sized and the room feels genuinely spacious.
Super KingRoom 9 — Platinum
From GBP169 / nightFloral, light, and airy — the Juliet balcony looks over the internal courtyard rather than the street, which keeps things quiet. Jo Malone diffusers and a Roberts Radio are standard touches across all rooms.
KingThe Apartment
From GBP169 / nightA self-contained unit with its own entrance — living area, fully equipped kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. Dogs are allowed here (£50 cleaning fee). The most independent option on offer and the only room that accommodates pets in the main building.
