Lovely spot
Great stay at The Elephant and Castle. Pub was great, all the staff really friendly.
We organised an early check in, as we where going to a gig at the Picturedrome and the room was ready as we arrived. There is parking at the back of the pub for guests staying with them which is really helpful.
We were made very welcome, by Allison and the team, from the start. We had a late lunch which was delicious. Pub had a good range of beers and drinks.
Room was lovely with a huge comfy bed and full ensuite bathroom. Very clean and spacious. Remarkably quiet through the night to say you are in the middle of Holmfirth.
Breakfast was really nice, a full English with toast and set us up for the day.
Would definitely stay here again.

Great Spot
Lovely place to stop for a gig in Holmfirth, bang in the centre of town, welcoming and lively pub downstairs, reasonably priced drinks and food, the room was small but cosy, and had everything we needed, including Hot drinks and biscuits, a large tv, and toilet/shower. It was very quiet, and had a great sleep in the comfy bed, breakfast was spot on as well, definitely returning.

Had a lovely weekend in Holmfirth staying at The Elephant and Castle. We received a friendly welcome on arrival. We had a fab Sunday lunch prepared by Andy. Food was piping hot, plentiful, and very, very good. And those Yorkshire puds! The room was warn, comfortable, and very clean. It was a great place to stay and very handy for the Picturedrome. Breakfast the next day was served by lovely Libby and again prepared by Andy. Just what we needed to set us up for the day. We had a lovely stay and will definitely be back. Thanks again for a great stay, especially Libby, who was very attentive.
