A top grade place to stay. Quality and service ooze from Holdsworth. Fine grounds, building and rooms - Was once visited by the Beetles in their early days (some memorabilia in a frame near reception). Restaurant excellent with a fine menu. Service second to none.

Thank David C for taking time out to share your experience of Holdsworth House in Halifax. We do hope you'll return soon - if you have a birthday party or anniversary to celebrate you could even party in the room that John Lennon had his 24th birthday! More

This wonderful hotel takes a lot of beating! We booked with a special deal and didn't expect the five star treatment we got. On arrival we were invited to take cream tea in the garden as it was a sunny day we agreed a lovely tea appeared borne by smiling waiter and waitress. That set the seal for a super... More

Thank you very much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your review. On a warm sunny day there's no place better in Yorkshire than our gardens we think, so we're glad you were able to experience them too. We are looking forward to you returning soon. More

Nothing to complain about here - it's a beautiful hotel, the food was superb and the ambience in the dining room was great. Staff friendly and helpful. Only two things to note:- 1. It's a beautiful hotel with a nice garden, but don't be fooled by the photos which give the impression that the garden is extensive - it's actually... More

Dear a_1_m_1_b thank you for choosing Holdsworth House for your stay in Yorkshire. We are pleased that you had an enjoyable stay. As an historic building with an unconventional layout we try and accurately describe each room type on our website; each upgrade type (Snug room, House room, Suite) offers additional space.

Stayed here for one night at the weekend for my 50th birthday treat. Absolutely beautiful hotel with exceptional service. Arrived on Saturday afternoon and had drinks in the gorgeous gardens.

A meal for six was when I decided this is a fantastic place. Although some of the dishes could have been slightly better in their execution the majority of the food was great, maybe work on consistency with food is all they need.

Beautiful atmospheric building but helpful and attentive staff are essential for pleasurable hotel stays! Particularly reception staff, but bar staff also lacked basic understanding of hospitality. Examples: my wife suffering from a headache, and ran out of paracetamol. The reception staff looked as if they thought that was not their problem, I shouldn’t really be bothering them. I know that...

We booked two nights B&B here with a 'free' cream tea on a Groupon voucher. This made it a reasonable rate for our comfortable stay.

Halifax's only four-star hotel is now listed in the 2013 Michelin Guide along with the country's elite hotels & restaurants.
