Thoughts of a Scottish tourist
Room was excellent and roomy - hotel very central although Holm is a small town but gud variety of bars / entertainment
Breakfast non existent as staff illness apparently
Bit disappointed with no refund as had paid for breakfast
Overall was surprisingly a very enjoyable weekend

Lovely stay in the heart of Holmfirth. Nice big room at the front. Great breakfast although you only get the cooked breakfast at the weekend.

Comfortable room in an excellent location. Lovely breakfast. Being able to park there is an added bonus.
The only drawback was that the Wi-Fi wasn’t accessible in the bedroom.

Excellent stay
Alison was an excellent host. She made us feel very welcome and even gave us a free upgrade. The room had everything you need and the bed was comfy. Top marks for the breakfast the following morning. Added bonus was the free onsite parking.

Room was okay for the price, some communication issues about breakfast, we booked breakfast for 10am not realising that checkout was also 10. I asked if we could pay for a later checkout so that we could allow our breakfast to digest but was bluntly refused. It felt unnecessary as they only have 4 rooms to clean before 3pm. We will not stay there again.
