Guests say
Victoria House in Holmfirth is a well-regarded holiday rental, praised for its cleanliness, convenient location, and comfortable furnishings. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, cosy beds, and the added bonus of parking for two cars. While some guests mention traffic noise and minor maintenance issues, the overall experience is positive, with special mentions of a welcoming atmosphere and thoughtful touches like a welcome pack.
Guests consistently note the property's cleanliness, describing it as spotless and very clean. The high level of cleanliness contributes significantly to the positive experiences reported.
The property's central location is frequently praised for its convenience to shops and town amenities. However, some guests note traffic noise due to its position on a busy road, which slightly impacts the overall satisfaction with the location.
Comfort is highlighted with mentions of cosy beds and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. A few guests noted issues with sofa comfort and indoor footwear recommendations, but these are minor compared to the overall comfort experienced.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and ample parking. Some maintenance issues like a broken tap and inadequate heating are noted, but the responsiveness to these issues is also acknowledged.
While guests mention welcome packs and festive decorations, there is not enough information to assess the consistency of these thoughtful gestures across all stays. Therefore, while appreciated, it cannot be guaranteed that such gifts will be provided for every 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¸
