Holdsworth House  

In secluded gardens just north of Halifax, Holdsworth House is a four‑star Jacobean manor built in 1633 and family-run for over 50 years. Roughly 3 miles (about 4 km) from the city centre, it sits close to Halifax Piece Hall, Bankfield Museum, Victoria Theatre and Eureka — an ideal base for culture and history seekers.

Ancient beams, open fires, fine antiques and tapestries frame cosy lounges and period rooms. The hotel has around 36–38 individually furnished ensuite bedrooms with TVs, tea/coffee makers and complimentary bottled water. The 17th‑century oak‑panelled dining room serves candlelit dinners while the Long Bar keeps things simpler and more relaxed.

Treatments, massages and facials at the on-site spa. A warm lobby fireplace, a quiet library and secluded gardens set a slow-pace vibe. Complimentary wired and wireless internet, free self-parking, wedding services and pet-friendly rooms add practical comfort for stays and events.

Conference space of about 689 sq ft (64 sqm) with four meeting rooms and presentation facilities. Complimentary wired and wireless internet and event support make it suitable for small conferences and meetings.

An award-winning, oak‑panelled restaurant serves candlelit dinners; the Long Bar offers a brasserie-style menu and bar/lounge vibes. Cooked-to-order breakfasts are served on weekdays (7:00–9:30 AM) for a fee, and limited room service is available.
