No central heating in our room. We were cold and wet after our night out in Holmfirth and ended up with flu for Christmas!

Will return!
A wonderful little place to stay over the weekend. The room was clean, warm, nicely decorated and cosy. The bathroom was spotless and the kettle in the room for hot drinks was a nice touch. The only issue we had was with the position of one of the single beds being close to the windowsill (the corner of the sill is quite sharp and as a fidgety sleeper I came home with a few bruises from it). The staff were kind and helpful, and even though the pub below was busy, noise wasn’t an issue at all. The included breakfast was top notch. The backdoor entrance was also very helpful as we stayed out late. Would absolutely stay again 😊

We were attending an event in Holmfirth and found the Elephant & Castle perfectly located. Our room was recently renovated and was clean and crisp, everything literally brand new. Breakfast was tasty and well made with quality ingredients used, although variety is currently limited due to the kitchen being refurbished. It’s an old, quirky and traditional pub which we loved and would be happy to stay here again.

Room for the night
Very nice stay. Room was small but everything you need for the night. Clean and nicely decorated. Steep stairs to access room so tricky for someone with mobility problems. Gluten free breakfast was a lovely surprise.

Lovely pub
Lovely recently refurbished twin room. Everything was new and beautifully decorated. Immaculate bathroom with a good size shower cubicle. The staff were great and it’s a really nice pub. Breakfast was well cooked. Would definitely stay there again if we come for another gig at the picturedrome.

Whilst being a lovely local establishment, the bedroom was a little tired and in need of some upgrading. The carpet was worn and the en-suite bathroom needs a complete refurb at the very least. Other than that, the bar area is warm and comforting and the staff are polite and welcoming.

Unfortunately I didn't stay all night due to a family emergency so I never got to try breakfast. The room wasn't great at all, it badly needed decorating. It had a convector heater and what must have been the smallest TV in the world on the wall that could only pick up 3 or 4 channels. I wouldn't choose to stay here again but the bar staff were very friendly.
