Holdsworth House Hotel and Restaurant

Family owned for over fifty years, this historic Jacobean manor is a much-loved, one of Yorkshire’s best four-star hotels and a wedding venue. You’ll find us amid stunning, secluded gardens on the edge of the Yorkshire moors, set in the peaceful suburbs of Halifax and equidistant between Leeds and Manchester.  Enjoy our haven of peace and quality in an age when it’s too often forgotten that the customer is also a guest. Nearby is a wealth of history, culture, dramatic landscapes and local attractions, making Holdsworth House perfectly located for exploring.

Children are welcome at Holdsworth House. We have a special children’s menu available and a selection of rooms that can accommodate one extra bed or a cot/crib. There are also a number of interconnecting rooms for families with older children.

Holdsworth House has seen its share of celebrity guests over the last 50 years whilst in the caring hands of the Pearson family. Now the Jacobean manor is also becoming well known for its role as a TV set. In recent times the team has welcomed film crews from all over the UK, including the BAFTA-winning crew from Last Tango in Halifax, screened on the BBC. Holdsworth House was lucky to be featured in the final three episodes of series two, when Caroline and Kate escaped for a romantic break at ‘a luxury hotel’. The manor was also the setting for Celia’s hen party and for the series finale wedding of Alan and Celia.

We are located less than a hundred metres from the route of The Calderdale Way, a 50 mile walking route which circles the borough.
