We have booked our Civil Ceremony at Holdsworth House for August 2013. On Thursday we went for our menu tasting. We were seated in the restaurant by Tracy and our meal was served. All the dishes were fantastic and very well presented. Compliments to Simon and his team in the kitchen. Tracy was lovely and was talking us through the... More

Thank you vaso99, we're excited for you! We are pleased your menu tasting gave you a good idea of what to expect on your wedding day, as well as treating you to a lovely meal out too! We hope you'll be back soon, before August, for more lovely meals - try the new bar menu next. More

This hotel does not warrant four stars although the staff were very friendly and helpful. We booked to stay for a long weekend. The restaurant couldn't cope and we had to wait over an hour for our meal on the Friday night and 45 minutes for our breakfast on the Saturday morning. The plumbing in the bathroom was laughable. The... More

Thank you for reviewing Holdsworth House. Naturally, we are very disappointed that you have given the hotel such a low score and also that you have chosen not to mention the efforts and goodwill shown by the hotel at the time of your stay. The conversation with our operations manager, Philip Lockwood, on your departure led us to believe you... More

I went with a friend for a special treat to Holdsworth House just for afternoon tea. It was a lovely surprise to see the array of beautiful vintage crockery, not just as display but also to have our tea from. Made the whole experience that little bit more special.

Came to Holdsworth House for an anniversary mini getaway. We had no complaints about anything. Excellent food, lovely location, attentive staff (there was a wedding on when we got here so this made me nervous but had no need to worry), everything we wanted. Would highly recommend and will definitely come back again.

We always enjoy our stays at Holdsworth House. Will be going again next week. Their special offers are amazing. Recommended a friend and she loved it. The food is excellent and so are the staff and there is lots to do near by. Sitting in the gardens with a drink is probably the best way to spend the afternoon though.

Everything about Holdsworth House is superb. Our first visit was an overnight one following an event in Halifax and we immediately resolved to return. The building itself and its garden and contents are fascinating and we were lucky to encounter the gardener/handyman who gave us a wonderful guided tour. Our second visit was in December. As we arrived it snowed... More
