Excellent location in the centre of the village with dedicated parking spaces for each room. Friendly staff serving a good choice of food and drink in the bar and a really good breakfast. Would definitely stay again.
We were visiting the Holmfirth Vineyard and were able to access the parking at 10:00 even though check-in wasn't until 15:00.
Staff were helpful and very friendly. The breakfast was excellent.
Friendly staff , lovely food, room was spotless with beautiful decor . Reserved parking right outside and 5 mins walk to the Picturedome . Will definitely be back
Very friendly staff right in town Nora Barry’s house literally across the road and around the corner to Sid’s cafe ,room was lovely bed comfortable and charging ports in the bedside lamps . Well presented breakfast very tasty would definitely stay here again
If you are visiting Holmfirth, the Elephant & Castle is the absolute best place to stay! The staff are so attentive and really make you feel welcome. Autumn was fantastic when we arrived, helping us settle into our rooms right away. The rooms themselves are clean, fresh, and well-maintained. We loved the breakfast setup—it’s included, made to order based on exactly what you want, and served fresh at your chosen time. The pub also has a brilliant selection of local beers and top-tier service. I highly recommend staying here!
What a lovely hotel , parking spot for each room , check in was easy and the staff what can i say polite , friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
As for the breakfast, one of the nicest i have had .
I will be back .
Thank you
Let’s start with the location - right in the centre with parking for those that stay. The room was perfect, (this is a pub not a hotel). The manager (Wayne) and the bar / beer were just what we wanted.
Great breakfast to start the 2 hour walk.
Would we stay here again? YES

Access to the property is a problematic at present due to major road works and road closure. Parking is an issue at the property; however, there is a 24 hour long stay car park within a 10minute walk but obviously luggage has to be walked across as well.
Newly refurbished room and bathroom - clean
and simple.
Adequate breakfast freshly cooked.
Above a pub so busy.
Good staff and service
