Holdsworth House Hotel  

Tucked away to make it private, 'olde worlde', and very attractive. Choice of food in the restaurant is good, but presentation/quality is not as good as it was a few years ago. Attention to detail is not as sharp as it was, and breakfast was particularly 'lax'. Nevertheless, we did enjoy our brief stay, and we will visit HH again.

the friendliness of the staff

The bed was amazing!!!!!! The room was large and very comfortable.

There was only one small thing that I can think of-The hot water from the bath tap was not very hot. The shower was the perfect temperature but for some reason, I got not have a hot bath-more luke warm.

I was recommended this hotel from work it was a nice stay just after Christmas to spoil our selves for the night.

A well run hotel with staff who were polite and helpful. Excellent dining, bar and public spaces. Have stayed several times, and probably the most comfortable of any hotel in the area. Needs a car/taxi from the centre of Halifax, but benefits from its gardens.

Excellent hotel, lovely building with good facilities and food.

Friendly helpful staff warm comforatable room

Lovely hotel - best thing was being offered a glass of wine when I arrived and checked-in after 6 hours travelling!!

Very friendly & helpful staff. Good breakfast, but most importantly they emailed me to tell me that I'd left my mobile phone behind!

Being on the ground floor I couldn't (safely) leave the windows open to air the room, but I guess that's not really a reflection on the hotel itself - just room allocation. That said it might be useful if ground floor windows were fitted with security latches that allowed airing, yet kept the room secure. The worst thing was the apparent use of some kind of (cheap?) air freshener in the alley-way and in the room. It was really nauseating!

Lovely staff at reception, cosy olde worlde feel to it, lovely room

Had to request towels as only one set in the room - Very poor evening meal - the lasagne was not cooked pasta in one whole sheet on the top - requested another. This again was of poor quality and was not finished however nobody came near us so when plates collected no point in explaining as the other 2 diners had finsished their meal, We are aware of at least one other person returning hers also - Very disaappointing

The staff at this Hotel are outstandingly good and set highly professional standards - yet effortlessly, and within a very friendly atmosphere. This Country House Hotel is spotlessly clean, and both the interior and exterior decor are very attractive. We were kindly upgraded to a very comfortable and quiet four poster room, and away from a large and very happy wedding taking place in a totally separate suite away from the other guests. We enjoyed an extremely well cooked and presented Dinner which, although a little expensive ( Saturday night Menu) was, nevertheless, very enjoyable. In spite of a "false alarm" fire bell at 7.30am, and the subsequent rush for breakfast, the staff coped admirably with patience and good humour and everyone we spoke to, including the wedding guests, highly praised the Hotel. A really pleasant place to stay - Go and enjoy it !!

Holdsworth House Hotel is a charming, historical property with wonderful gardens. The restaurant was quaint and the food good. We used it as a stop-off point en-route from our holiday to home and it fitted this bill perfectly. It was also good that the hotel had a few single rooms at a reasonable rate.

Sadly, the route to the hotel (very commercial buildings) left us wondering what was in store but we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. Obviously this is something over which you have no control.
