This review from our lovely guests is slightly embarrassing in its detail and glowing praise!

""Comments about this property
Ann & John gave us such a warm welcome on our arrival and explained how everything worked (i.e. how to connect to the internet) at the outset, so we didn't have to 'guess' anything, which was incredibly helpful after a very long, tiring journey. As I had a very bad back, John also offered to help us in with our luggage which was so kind and considerate of him.

As for the accommodation itself, I cannot put into words how beautifully tasteful and sympathetically restored Holt Bank is. From the gorgeous, private [enclosed], patio/courtyard area outside the entrance door which leads through to the open-plan, modern, extremely well-equipped kitchen (which included an EXTREMELY welcome dishwasher and top of the range dishwasher tablets!), there is absolutely NOTHING in this accommodation that Ann & John have not thought about and put a lot of time and effort into.

The living room/kitchen floor is beyond gorgeous being heavily varnished, parquet [original not plastic-type you get in shops], lovingly restored, flooring and furnished with a drop-leaf table and Chesterfield-type leather sofa.

All cupboards have lighting via a big push-in, time-expiring button, so you can easily see what's inside them (i.e. ironing board, iron, small outdoor wooden table and chairs, umbrellas, etc) and the TV and a selection of popular, family boardgames are hidden behind tasteful cupboard doors in the lounge - to boot!

Then the lushly (and, as everything in this apartment is, tastefully!) plush carpeted stairs lead up to the shower room which has a velux window and spacious shower cubicle and powerful shower, plus 'all the trimmings' including cabinets, shower rug, hand and shower gel!

Then off the hallway is the beautiful bedroom with a seating area (two leather tub chairs) and a fine selection of books in a bookcase, and two extremely comfortable beds with very clean, quality linen and fresh smelling pillows. Again, the closet in the bedroom has a big, push-button (self-turning-off) welcome lighting with additional bedding and a selection of coat hangers.

Ann and John have put such a huge amount of time, care, love and effort into restoring/building this self-catering apartment, I feel that I had to do this review and try to give them the hard-earned credit they so deserve.

If I ever travel to this area again (which is likely as we stayed here for my partner's sister's wedding), then without a shadow of a doubt, HOLT BANK will be my first 'port of call' for booking accommodation.

Thank you so much Ann and John for giving us such a comfortable stay, at SUCH a reasonable price!

Best wishes""

That has been a very busy and enjoyable period of hosting through summer and into Autumn for a wide range of guests.

Many being new to Holt Bank, with others as returners for regular visits, be it pleasure or work reasons.

Please get in touch if you or anyone you know are planning a visit to our region and needs comfortable self catering accommodation, especially if looking for a break with peace and quiet over the festive period.

We have made a couple of small changes, with a new comfy leather chair in the upstairs sitting area and new plants by the gate.

Its so good to receive a really positive review. This one is just in from a lovely couple who stayed at Holt Bank for 3 nights over the weekend.

"A wonderful warm welcome from Ann & John on arrival.
A fabulous cosy place to stay during our few days 'adventuring' in the local area with fantastic walks and a Saturday morning Parkrun in Greenhead Park which was just at the top of the road. What more could anyone need?!
The cottage was lovely and clean and was kitted with everything that was needed for our stay. The kitchen had more than required.
We even managed a sunny sit outside tea in the courtyard on the tucked away table & chairs. Thank you Ann & John, we had a lovely time and it was very much appreciated."

What a lovely 5 star review from our latest guest

"Thank you so much for such a welcoming home to stay in - cosy, spacious and non-cluttered. We also appreciated being close to Greenhead Park, elegant but with a variety of activities."

"Thank you for creating such a pleasant environment."

Another 5 star review from our latest guests

"We had a 3 night stay at Holt Bank and were met by John and Ann, who are very friendly, welcoming and gave us some great recommendations for places to visit and eating out.

The former coach house has been converted into a lovely cottage, with everything we needed for our stay. It is very clean and tidy with some nice finishing touches.

The outside courtyard with available seating was also a bonus.

We look forward to visiting again, to see the places we didn't have time for on this trip."

Our latest guests checked out today and have left a lovely 5 star review! holtbank.com

"The property, a renovated, charming old coach house, was easy to find and John met us immediately upon our arrival. The driveway has ample off road parking and, despite being located in a busy road by the park, the whole property was set well back and felt private and cosy throughout our stay. John is so warm and welcoming which really makes a difference. His and Ann’s house is a few feet away from the property but you would never know because of their thoughtful wall screening and unobtrusive presence.
There are outside spaces to sit in the sunshine, everywhere is spotlessly clean, facilities easy to use and, if you like reading, there is a bookshelf full of books in the bedroom. We met Ann as we were leaving and she is equally as lovely as John (thank you for the books Ann!). We are visiting the area every couple of months while our son temporarily resides nearby and we will definitely be returning to this special little place."

It's so rewarding when we receive such a positive 5 star review from our latest guests!

"I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb in Huddersfield for two nights. From the moment I booked, the hosts were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and responsive, always quick to answer any questions and ensure everything was smooth.

The property was exactly as described in the listing—if anything, even better in person. All the amenities listed were available and worked perfectly, which made the stay really comfortable and stress-free. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully arranged, showing real attention to detail.

I especially appreciated how cosy and well-presented the space was—it felt like a home away from home. The hosts clearly put a lot of care into making sure guests have a great experience, and it really shows.

Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better stay. I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone visiting Huddersfield and would happily stay here again. 5/5!"

We have just rediscovered this lovely review from a couple who stayed at Holt Bank as part of their Wedding celebrations.

"Holt Bank holiday cottage
We had the pleasure of staying at this cottage in the lead up to our wedding celebrations. We wanted our own space where we were able to come and go as we please and somewhere near town and all the amenities.
This was the perfect place for us!! Everything that you could ever need was there!! It was also very clean and well decorated throughout. To top it off we received a bottle of ch*****ne, wild berries from the garden and a card wishing us well in our new life together."
Ann and John were so welcoming and warm and really made us feel at home. Thank you so much for making our trip to Huddersfield a fantastic one!!
See you next time.
