Family owned for over fifty years, this historic Jacobean manor is a much-loved, four-star hotel and wedding venue. You'll find us amid stunning, secluded gardens on the edge of the Yorkshire moors. Enjoy our haven of peace and quality in an age when it's too often forgotten that the customer is also a guest.

I never ever write reviews but now more than ever I think if a hotel or restaurant is doing something really brilliant then we need to shout about it! So here I am, shouting about the most delicious afternoon with my family bubble!

We have just stayed over night for our nieces wedding ,my husband is in a wheelchair (we booked a disable bedroom) but it was virtually impossible to get around at the wedding because of all the steps,had it not been for my husbands brother and our sons at the evening do I don't know how we could have coped ,perhaps some ramps would help ,I do appreciate it is a old building but I also think that in todays age something could be done to make life easier. Having said all that the wedding was fab the bedroom good .

My son and daughter-in-law got married here on 22 December. Very stressful build up to wedding with Covid lockdown hanging over us. Holdsworth House were amazing. The staff from Reception, bar staff, restaurant staff and housekeeping were all fabulous very courteous and helpful (couldn't do enough for you). The whole day ran like clockwork with no stress on the wedding party. Food was delicious. Rooms very clean and decorated lovely (website photographs don't do them justice). Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this as a Wedding Venue or just a lovely weekend away. Well done to everyone at Holdsworth

Lovely atmosphere, fabulous food. Very luxurious experience. Have only ever eaten here so can't comment on accommodation but can't imagine it'll be anything less than excellent

Absolutely loved staying here and ate the best vegan food I've ever had in the restaurant (while my partner enjoyed apparently fabulous fillet steak!)

My daughter, friends and I went to Holdsworth House this afternoon for afternoon tea. It was lovely. I have one criticism. We were a group of eight but Holdsworth House wouldn't put us all round the same table. We are sure they could have put two tables together if they had wanted to.

Such a beautiful place. Jo and I brought the boys for an evening meal, to show them where we got married in August 2005. It was special then as it was this evening.

Lovely experience for afternoon tea. Unlimited tea and coffee and the food was delicious, the loveliest scones! Just wish there was more savoury food to sweet, some quiche would of been nice to accompany the sandwiches

Beautiful house in beautiful surroundings. Very clean, very comfortable. Excellent menu, including gluten free options, very much appreciated as a coeliac. Staff could not be more friendly or helpful. Highly recommended hotel.

If anyone is looking for a wedding venue, I would advise you to stop looking any further and contact Holdsworth House as soon as possible, you will not be disappointed. This is an excellent historical location with many attractive features both outside and in especially for the photographers. The stand out feature for me was the organisation by all the Holdsworth House staff. Claire (Wedding Manager) and The Fairy Godmother, Tracey (Master of Ceremonies) were exceptional. All staff throughout were friendly, helpful and very courteous making our son's big day one to remember always.
many thanks
