Lovely stay in Holmfirth
The Elephant and Castle was well located and easy to park. Our room which had a large queen size bed was lovely and had a good size bathroom with a bath. The free full english breakfast was delicious. Will definitely stay there again if we return to Holmfirth

Room was small but clean and appeared to have been recently refurbished. Very convenient for the Picturedrome event we were attending. Quite noisy as it was Saturday night but this wasn't a problem for us. Basic cooked breakfast included.

Friendly and Helpful Staff Members
You have a designated parking spot for you -- you do not need to worry about you do not have any parking on that B&B place. Friendly and helpful staff members -- You have been told and showed how to find the best route when there is an emergency to get out of the hotel immediately with safe information

Return guests
This was our second time staying here as we find the place wonderful to stay in! The beds are comfy, parking is ready for us, and the added bonus of being able to return to the room whenever we finish in the town on a night time. Our only feedback is to bring back the breakfast order menus! (We’re both picky eaters so having the option to choose what we do/don’t have was amazing the first time round)

Disappointing and Over Priced
Chose this hotel over others in Holmfirth due to the claim of parking - there are marked parking bays for the hotel rooms (1-4) however, the “car park” (it’s not really a carpark, it’s parking bays along a road side) is completely open to anyone who wants to park there, it is not enforced as being for guests only, there isn’t even a sign up asking non guests not to park there. We therefore couldn’t use the “on-site parking” at all and our car now has 2 large scrapes down the side which occurred whilst parked on the on-street parking near the property. The room (junior suite) was very nicely decorated, however the room is not conducive to a restful sleep - old single glazed sash windows providing absolutely no soundproofing whatsoever and the property is situated on the main road. There is also a green light in the ceiling which was exceptionally bright and lit up the entire room to the point where you could clearly see as though the actual lights were on all night. Other irritating things (that probably wouldn’t be a problem other than feeling ripped off that the promised parking didn’t exist) was there being 1 teabag in the room for 2 people and the staff not knowing where tea bags were kept, and being asked immediately upon check-in what we wanted for breakfast without even being given a menu, and when asked what there was being told “oh usual stuff like bacon and sausage” Unsure why you have to order the afternoon before, nor how you expect people to order without info

Emergency Lighting was too bright!
Nice rooms, comfy bed and friendly staff. Green Emergency Light in the room kept me awake during the night as it was too bright. We had to try and cover it. When pub is open its noisy so wouldn't book if you need an early night.

Nice stay but slight bugs.
Like most hospitality they didn’t seem to have enough staff. The room was good but above the bar area and quite noisy. Breakfast was really good but we were not asked what we wanted we were just given a full English breakfast There was no questions about allergies or if we were vegetarians.
