The small village of Holme is situated just 1 mile from the traditional Pennine market town of Holmfirth, within the beautiful Holme Valley. In 2014 the Tour de France passed through the village and the challenging climb of Holme Moss is nearby. Close by, the town of Holmfirth has old stone cottages, winding streets, parks, shops, bars, restaurants and the infamous music venue, The Picturedrome. The Holme Valley hosts a number of festivals throughout the year including the now famous Festival of Folk (May), The Arts Festival (June) Food and Drink festival (September) and a great Music Festival (October). These main festivals run alongside and with other smaller festivals and weekends, such as the Film Festival, The Macmillan Art Exhibition, the Christmas markets, The Scarecrow Festival and, of course, the big cycle race ‘Le Tour De Yorkshire’, this is a wonderfully cultural place to visit. The town was made famous as the setting for the long-running comedy series Last of the Summer Wine. The nearby Colne Valley is home to fictional Skelthwaite from the Where the Heart Is series and, within reach, is the wonderful Peak District National Park – the setting for many picturesque and breathtaking scenic views. The town of Huddersfield and the bright lights of Manchester, Leeds and Sheffield are all within a short drive, making this an ideal base for exploring this exciting and exquisite area of Yorkshire.

Sarah
. She was so lovely. We had milk and prosecco in the fridge waiting. Chocolates on the bed and kitchen. The place was IMMACULATELY CLEAN!!!! Not a speck of dust anywhere!!!! It is a lovely little place to be. Small and comfy. Warm and homely. We had everything we needed. The pub across the road (The Fleece) was good. You need to book. It gets VERY busy.
