Itâs well designed, clean and comfortable, and so central to Holmfirth. Despite the wet weather, we had an enjoyable and relaxing holiday.

We parked in the nearby council car parks, which was absolutely fine with spaces always available (although there was a little competition for the smaller car parks during events at the Picturedrome). Would definitely book again, and would thoroughly recommend Beatties for lunch!
