Cross Farm Retreat

Cross Farm Retreat sits on five acres above Todmorden in West Yorkshire, with views stretching across the Calder Valley toward Stoodley Pike and the Pennine hills. Owner Kirsty has built the place with a level of care that shows in the small things: fresh flowers in the cabin, eco-friendly toiletries, hot water bottles tucked in for cold nights, and an outdoor bathroom that turns a shower into something worth lingering over.

The accommodation runs to handcrafted bell tents and cabins, each with private facilities including a hot tub. The Garden Cabin comes with a wood burner and garden hot tub. The outdoor kitchen area and conservatory make the site well set up for small retreats as well as couples and families. Kirsty's local knowledge is part of the deal: the canal walk to Hebden Bridge (a little over an hour), the riverside paths at Hardcastle Crags, and direct access onto the Mary Towneley Loop, Calderdale Way, and Pennine Way from the farm gate.

The site opened in 2026 and is genuinely new, but the early track record is strong: reviewers return, and the retreat community has already found it. Wellness hosting, pilates mornings in the conservatory, and cold-water dipping in the local becks and reservoirs all fit naturally into the rhythm of the place. It is quieter than a lot of glamping sites, and more considered.
