Bagden Hall, Huddersfield

Advantages: Loads of pubs
Disadvantages: A bit dreary, not that much of interest

...After many demands by other members for me to write about Huddersfield, I have finally given in. This could be a rather bumpy, and uncomfortable ride so get ready. I think it was the crowd of Nottingham Forest supporters that described Huddersfield perfectly – “Your just a small town in Yorkshire”. Hence the title. This was the one and only occasion I bothered to go and watch Huddersfield Town play (lol). Many of their players train on the grounds of the University Halls I lived in, so I thought I might see for myself if they are as bad as people make out. There relegation to Division 2 says it all!

Advantages: Friendly and an ideal size
Disadvantages: A wee bit dreary

Advantages: cheap, good food, nice staff
Disadvantages: bit grotty

...cedar court hotel is one of the only hotels in huddersfield. it is about half an hour out of the town centre, with really good access to the motorway. pretty close to brighouse, huddersfield and easy to get to leeds and along that way too. it has wireless internet, reasonable prices with regards to rooms, pretty good food, especially the breakfast and is ideal for anyone on business trips. the bar prices are expensive, but not compared to otherhotels, so its as you would expect really. the rooms and lobby etc, can look a bit grotty sometimes, and the hotel does need refurbishing (it hasnt been done for years!) but if all you need is somewhere convenient with decent rooms and nice food, then its perfect!...
