    So many memories brought back to mind in a magical stay and visit to Holmfirth and The White Horse.

    Only issue was the TV reception but we weren't too worried as I take our Fire TV stick with us so used that to fall sound asleep to.

    A trip down memory lane which didn't disappoint. Wonderful hosts who made a great effort to ensure our stay was as good as could be. Comfortable, warm and quiet room with an excellent shower and comfy bed. A great breakfast, ate the second night in the White Horse and was pleasantly surprised by the choice and quality of our meals, with a great selection of beers and ciders to complement our meal. Local bus into Holmfirth stopped right outside the Inn and dropped off after a day of pilgrimage to the resting place of Last of the Summer Wine's great actors and an enjoyable day exploring the town, it's famous cafe's and exhibits relating to the famous show. Great car parking, some lovely walks and a waterfall to boot!

    The bedroom needs a bit of a makeover. The shower wasn’t great, there was no power to it. The breakfast wasn’t great, the bacon was hard, seemed like it had been microwaved.

    A lovely country Inn. Evening meal very nice. Friendly staff.

    The access at night needs to be lit. The breakfast was full English (vegetarian option) with 1-piece of bread or something on toast. The sausage was tasteless, the bacon fatty and hard and the egg too runny. I didn’t touch it to be honest and I’m not fussy. The Danilo’s toilets are so noisy and the room was very cozy (small). Oh and the grid outside was so annoying - speak to the council.

    Very traditional place, menu was nice with a good selection to choose from.

    The room was very dated. The bathroom was very cold as the heated towel rail was not heating up the room. It was also tarnished and discoloured not very nice. The room should have secondary glazing if double glazing is not an option as wind and cold was blowing through making the room cold. Very noisy grid outside everytime a vehicle drove over it. Not enough tea and coffee or milk in the room. Just enough for 1 cup each. There were cobwebs on the light fitting. It's a real shame because the location is nice. The food is amazing. But the room needs serious upgrading to meet the price charged. I stay in lots of places throughout the year and this was a very poor standard of room for the price. I hope the owners can take this constructive criticism because it could be a place we would stay again. In its current state the room let our experience down. The food was amazing though .

    The food was very nice. We had a meal in the bar. The breakfast was also very nice. A good choice for us both.

    Nice little pub on the outskirts of Holmfirth

    Room was tiny but that was fine for us. Tiny criticism - the lead from the kettle doesn't reach the plug socket so you have to put it on the floor to boil it

    Nice little traditional and quirky pub a couple of miles outside of Holmfirth. Our room was very small and basic but it was warm and cosy with a comfy bed and perfectly fine for our overnight stay. Parking opposite was a nice bonus as you don't get that if staying in the centre of Holmfirth and have to park in one of the public car parks. A regular bus stops right outside and taxis are easy to get. We would definitely stay here again next time we're in the area (hopefully in the summer next time).

    The room was adequate but the layout could be better. Electrical sockets all on one side of the room. Also the pressure of the shower was not great. And the room was a little dusty.

    The cosy feel of the pub. The owner/Landlord was very friendly and welcoming.

    Felt the facilities and room for our stay were a little over priced.

    The room had a very strange layout with a toilet at one end of the room and the basin to wash your hands at the other. Shower was very small and if you are a little on the large size no room really to manoeuvre. It is a very old building so may be limited in what they can do. Having said that we have stayed in many old hotels, pubs, cottages and they offered great facilities and rooms.

    The staff and food were very good and big portions. Good location and can leave the car behind as there is a bus stop into Holmfirth outside the pub. Comfy bed. Lovely hot water.
