Guests say
Guests consistently praise Old Jail View for its excellent location in the heart of Holmfirth, cleanliness, and comfort.

While some guests suggest minor improvements, the overall experience is highly positive, with many looking forward to returning.
Reviewers are unanimous in their appreciation of the cottage's cleanliness, often describing it as 'exceptionally clean' and 'spotless', which indicates a very high standard of hygiene.
The central location is frequently highlighted as ideal, with easy access to local pubs and restaurants. However, a few guests mention the steep approach as a consideration, slightly impacting the perfect score.
Comfort is a strong point, with guests mentioning 'comfortable beds' and ample space. The property is considered a comfortable stay for groups, contributing to a high comfort rating.
Facilities are generally praised, especially the renovation and appliances. Suggestions for additional items like preparation knives, a microwave, and a kettle indicate room for improvement, hence the score is not perfect.

A wonderful stay in a beautifully appointed property not suitable for elderly visitors who cannot negotiate steep cobbles. We loved it.
