Holmfirth

Made famous by the television comedy series Last Of The Summer Wine, which was first shown in 1973, Holmfirth is a small Yorkshire pennine town characterised by stone weavers' cottages and cobbled steets. Despite its charm and the tourists the TV show attracts, Holmfirth remains an honest working town with a real sense of community. If you are staying with us or starting or ending your break here, we are sure you will enjoy exploring the town and the surrounding countryside.

Holmfirth has a number of excellent cafes and restaurants and a vibrant theatre with its own professional repertory company is situated in a converted mill building near Ash House. We are happy to make advanced reservations for you.
