This is a very special place... comfortable, clean, incredibly friendly, not to mention in a lovely old building... in a very special town, in a wonderful area altogether! Couldn't have wished for more. The stay in the hostel far exceeded my expectations (and I've stayed in a lot of hostels in my day). Thanks Em and Dave for a wonderful stay! I will definitely recommend you to everyone I know and on the web. Thanks so much.

Messages from Well-Wishers pre-opening of the Hostel...

Congratulations! How exciting. Well done!
Can't wait to see it, I think it's just what Hebden needs and I think you're the perfect people to run it. 
Good luck with it all! You're gonna be busy!
Claire, Todmorden

CONGRATULATIONS! I think you will be brilliant! Looking forward to hearing your plans!
Lots of love and admiration for your big ideas!
Hannah Nunn - 'Radiance', Hebden Bridge

Just found the website and what can I say but WOW!! Weirdigans does it again!! All looks fantastic!!
Would I be able to use the hostel to put people up (paying, of course) when I am doing my nights at the Trades Club? I love to bring people into Hebden from Leeds/Bradford... 
I put Banco De Gaia on last year and loads of people came from out-of-town and loved it but were sad to have to leave for the last train. Good clean affordable accommodation has never been possible before now!! 
I wish you all the luck in the world in this venture!!!
Phil - Magical Sounds, Hebden Bridge

Wow! That's amazing (I did a little celebration dance in my chair). I'll be sure to spread the word.
Chrissy, US

Your new hostel sounds fab. I'll certainly get the band to stay next time we play Hebden. 
I'll try and get to the opening do. Cheers and good luck with the new venture.

Good to hear that the preparations are going well. Best of luck for the opening and the beginning of the season. 
Hope to hear that the guests are pouring in!
