Great location in Holmfirth. All amenities within easy reach. Plenty of bars and eating places on hand.Easy access to visitor attractions. Parking can be a bit of a problem. The car park at the Co op supermarket is probably your best bet.

The Old Jail View was a lovely property and very comfortable. It was very central to Holmfirth. I booked it before I had an accident earlier in the year - which meant the steep cobbled streets were very challenging. The terrain to get to the property wouldn't have been an issue normally. I managed with crutches but the cobbles would be a consideration for anyone with mobility issues.We are had a great stay and would definitely recommend the property.
