Robert
this time we were lucky, and after sitting in a 3 hour traffic jam, were pleased to find a house perfectly located, with spacious rooms, everything we needed, and more than adequate parking. the house was clean, and the kitchen well equipped. the bedrooms were comfortable, but best of all, the garden, despite being between 2 roads, was actually very calm and peaceful. my wife didn't want to leave. we have been looking for a property in holmfirth, and my wife said with it's facilities and location, she would be more than happy to live here if it ever became available. thank you for a lovely stay

The property is very well presented and maintained offering a comfortable and clean place to stay. You can walk into town within five minutes and the supermarkets are within walking distance too. There are several well known visitor attractions nearby as well. All in all a super little holiday home - highly recommend. âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸
