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.

Great Spot
Lovely place to stop for a gig in Holmfirth, bang in the centre of town, welcoming and lively pub downstairs, reasonably priced drinks and food, the room was small but cosy, and had everything we needed, including Hot drinks and biscuits, a large tv, and toilet/shower. It was very quiet, and had a great sleep in the comfy bed, breakfast was spot on as well, definitely returning.

Staff were very helpful, room clean although compact. There wasn't much information prior to our stay. I wasn't sure if there was a hairdryer, which there wasnt, which would be useful to know so can take one if needed.
