On the edge of the West Yorkshire Pennines, in the picturesque Holme Valley, is the historic, traditional Pennine town of Holmfirth. Holmfirth is more than just Compo and Nora Battye's stockings, despite being made famous by the TV series The Last of the Summer Wine! The best live music venue in the North of England, the "Picturedrome," is in the heart of the city and draws many well-known bands. The 2014 Tour de France and the Tour de Yorkshire pelotons both passed through this small Holme Valley village on their way up the famous 524-meter Holme Moss climb, which is located two miles away. Cycling's three-time Olympic medalist Ed Clancy was raised on these hills. In addition, Holmfirth offers parks, a good public pool, a fitness centre, as well as a few grocery stores and eateries. The locals are welcoming, the streets are charming, and the surroundings are breathtaking. It's also simple to go to the Peak District National Park, which has moors, dales, woodlands, lakes, and reservoirs. A short, picturesque drive will take you to the Upper Derwent Region, home of the magnificent Ladybower and Derwent reservoirs, and the site where the renowned 617 "Dambusters" Squadron trained for their daring raid on the Ruhr valley in 1943. The Duke and Duchess of Devonshire's stately residence, Chatsworth, is a short distance away from Bakewell, the market town where Bakewell Puddings are made. Near and well worth a visit are the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, National Coal Mining Museum, Wentworth Castle, and the Hepworth Gallery. Holmfirth offers a taste of culture with its yearly festivals, which include the Folk, Arts, and Food & Drink Festivals, among many more attractions that keep visitors coming back for more. Holmfirth Vineyard and Restaurant, where you may schedule wine tasting trips and delight in a delightful meal in the restaurant, is another not to be missed.

The house was very spacious and comfortable with plenty of room for us all without ever feeling in each other's way. The kitchen was very well equipped and we loved the views across the local area from the front of the house. The owners greeted us on arrival and took us around the house. They also kept in touch before we arrived and throughout our stay. Nothing was too much trouble when we contacted them. The Hot tub and table tennis were well used and a welcome addition. There are some lovely local walks and places to visit. Very close to local amenities too. All in all a really great house for a break which you can make as busy or chilled out, as you desire.

The hosts were extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful and made our stay very enjoyable. The accommodation was perfect. Comfortable, spacious bedrooms, plenty of bathrooms available, an excellent well equipped kitchen, lovely big lounge, table tennis in the garage and a super, compact garden with a hot tub and lots of outdoor seating. The house is in a perfect location within walking distance of the centre of Meltham with shops, bars and restaurants. There are some super walks nearby with pub stops along the way. We had a fantastic time and the dogs loved it too. We would definitely consider a return visit.
