We had a heavenly few days at Holdsworth House. We were so well looked after by the staff, who were so very friendly and attentive. The food was excellent and we all especially loved the evening meals in the panelled dining room. The Hotel is steeped in history, and we enjoyed learning about it. Our kids really enjoyed the garden and joining in with their own attempt to emulate the recent competition to draw the Hotel. Importantly, it is well located for great day trips to the excellent Salts Mill, Howarth and some lovely walks in the Calder Valley.
We got married at Holdsworth House in summer 2024 and we couldn't have asked for more from a venue. We were incredibly well looked after in the build-up and the service on the day was impeccable. The quality of the food was excellent, which is not always the case at weddings. We had our ceremony in the garden, and being able to look back at the photos has reminded us how lucky we were to get married in such a beautiful setting. Thank you to all the staff at Holdsworth House.
We loved this hotel. Great staff who are obviously proud to work there. Great food and drink all sensibly priced. Lovely gardens. Some VERY old parts of the building. Fires burning in lounges and dining rooms. And so very quiet at night. Pricy but sensibly priced compared to many hotels. Only a 25 minute drive into Bradford. AND, on top of all that, The Beatles stayed there in 1964 (and many celebs and actors continue to stay there when filming in the area.
Such a beautiful hotel with lovely grounds. My wife and I just had a nights stay (Dec 2024) with 3 course dinner and full cooked breakfast. We got married here in 2009 and hadn’t returned since 2010, so we’re excited to go back again. Was great to see Tracy was still working there, she was the rockstar of our wedding and made the day go so smoothly, while always having a big smile on her face. Everything was perfect, from the lovely charm of the house and gardens, the very friendly/accommodating staff and the food was phenomenal. We had the festive 3 course dinner, we both chose different courses and it was all so delicious and well presented. There was a wedding on at the hotel at the time we were there, but the staff do such a good job at managing the wedding party and hotel guests both barely know the other is there especially as the wedding reception room has its own bar. After dinner we spent a lovely evening having a few drinks in front of the fire (apparently famous for last tango in Halifax, I haven’t seen it). Then had a good nights sleep and a superb breakfast in the morning with full English and pasties. Can’t wait to go back!
