Description

The Gomersal Lodge is an ideal base for touring the beauty spots of Yorkshire. It's also an ideal and inspirational hotel for those who love there literature!

The Gomersal Lodge, formerly named High Royd, was built for Mary Taylor on her return from New Zealand in 1860. Mary Taylor became famous because of her friendship with Charlotte Bronte which lasted until Charlotte's death in 1855. She was an inspiration and a driving force to Charlotte Bronte, encouraging her to go to Brussels which provided the experience on which her novels 'Villette' and 'The Professor' were based. The Taylor family and their home, Red House in Gomersal (now the Red House Museum) are recognised as the models for the Yorke Family and Briarmains in Charlotte Bronte's novel 'Shirley'.

The hotel has nine rooms and is small and friendly. All rooms are fully equipped with en-suite facilities, refreshments, colour television and radio alarms. The restaurant serves evening meals from 7pm till 9pm.
