Converted manor house in West Yorkshire awarded coveted Michelin Key

What an achievement.

Clementine Hall - 28th September 2026

A beautiful hotel in West Yorkshire has been awarded a Michelin Key.

What is a Michelin Key I hear you ask? It's basically the equivalent of a Michelin Star but for hotels, so it's quite a big deal indeed.

The Michelin Guide's hotel section added 18 keys to its list this year across the UK and Ireland, and one of them was the Manor House Lindley over in Huddersfield.

The former Georgian manor house is nothing short of stunning, having been converted into an 11-bedroom venue by a hotelier who used to be a designer.

But don't just take our word for it, here's what the Michelin guide had to say: "Here in Huddersfield a manor house hotel is an uncommon sight; Manor House Lindley, however, is the real deal, an authentic Georgian house rescued by an ambitious designer-turned-hotelier and transformed into one of West Yorkshire’s most unique hotels.

A post shared by Manor House Lindley Hotel (@manorhouselindley)

"With just 11 bedrooms it’s not extraordinarily large, and thanks to its situation it’s a semi-urban refuge rather than a country-style getaway. All the same, it’s as private as a manor house should be, and its interiors mix classic correctness with an eclectic modern influence to create a space that’s anything but ordinary.

"Its public spaces attract not just overnight guests but locals as well, who gather for dinner, for afternoon tea, or for a drink in one of three in-house bars."

It's an amazing achievement, as the Manor House is now only one of three hotels in Yorkshire to own a Michelin Key. The others being Grantley Hall in Ripon and The Grand over in York.

Gorgeous Yorkshire Dales hotel unveils new suites near famous triple waterfall

Gorgeous Yorkshire Dales hotel unveils new suites near famous triple waterfall

If there’s one thing the Yorkshire Dales has never been short of, it’s beautiful places to escape to.

Now there’s another reason to book a night or two in the Dales - and it involves a very good bed, a private terrace, and an outdoor bath.

Aysgarth Falls Hotel is set to unveil 14 new Hyllside Suites later this year, tucked between the hotel’s historic main house and the famous triple waterfall.

The interiors take their inspiration directly from the landscape, with three distinct styles of suite available - Traditional, Classic and Contemporary - bringing together woodland-inspired timber, earthy tones, soft mushroom shades and flashes of cornflower blue.

The idea is to create somewhere that feels warm, comfortable and connected to the countryside outside - and there’s plenty of countryside to connect with.

Each suite comes with a super king bed, a spacious lounge and a private terrace, complete with a freestanding outdoor bath.

For those who believe relaxation should be taken extremely seriously, selected Hyllside Spa Suites turn things up another notch, with steam rooms and copper spa baths with jets on the private terrace. There are also a limited number of dog-friendly suites, so four-legged guests can join the Yorkshire adventure, while a fully accessible suite has been designed with comfort and ease in mind.

The appeal isn’t just what’s inside the suites. Aysgarth Falls Hotel sits in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, with the spectacular falls themselves providing an impressive natural backdrop. The surrounding countryside is made for walking, exploring and generally working up an appetite, while the hotel’s pub, lounge and restaurant are close enough to provide a very welcome reward afterwards.

Aysgarth Falls Hotel has worked with Yorkshire-based brands, suppliers and craftspeople during the development, bringing regional talent into the new suites and helping support the wider local visitor economy.

Owned by Yorkshire family business The Brook Group, Aysgarth Falls Hotel has built its reputation on combining relaxed hospitality with its enviable location beside one of the Dales’ best-known natural attractions.

And these new sites offer a more luxurious and private option, with plenty of history and character.

The Hyllside Suites are due to open in late 2026, with prices starting from £245 per night. The Hyllside Spa Suites will start from £325.

Sometimes the best way to experience the Yorkshire Dales is to get out and explore it. And sometimes it’s to spend the afternoon in a hot bath on your own terrace, listening to the sound of the countryside and deciding that tomorrow’s walk can wait.

At Aysgarth Falls, you may well find yourself doing both.
