With its imposing architecture set against the dramatic backdrop of the Yorkshire moors and mills, it is easy to see why Holdsworth House
has attracted such luminaries as Rudolph Nureyev, REM, Billy Connolly and The Beatles. Yet despite its celebrity appeal, this beautiful privatelyowned hotel delivers a warm and intimate welcome to every guest thanks
to the friendly ethos inspired by the Pearson family who have run the hotel for more than 40 years.
Through imaginative use of colours and fabrics, offset by rich period details and fabulous antiques, Holdsworth House has created 40 cosy bedrooms that are luxurious and individual. The main house has a comfortable lounge opening onto a pretty courtyard, and an award-winning restaurant offering exciting modern English
and continental cuisine. With its close proximity to Halifax and the main motorway
links, Holdsworth House is the perfect base from which to explore the Pennines, the Yorkshire Dales and Haworth – the home of the Bronte sisters.
Rooms
The hotel has 40 rooms, including 4 split-level
suites with pretty galleried bedroom areas.
Several of the bedrooms also feature fourposter
or half-tester beds, and all have their own individual character. Rates start from just GBP 105 per room. Wireless Internet access is available throughout the hotel.
Dining
The award-winning restaurant has long enjoyed glowing reports in all the major guides, winning two AA rosettes for eight consecutive years, and Yorkshire Life Hotel of the Year in 2005-2006. The kitchen brigade are enthusiastic about sourcing the best of local ingredients for their monthly changing menu, which provides an imaginative slant on traditional dishes. An interesting and extensive wine list provides the perfect accompaniment to any meal.
Meeting facilities
Six meeting rooms accommodating up to
250 delegates.
