The Old Post Office at Holmfirth Reviews

The old post office was a great holiday house to stay in. There were 14 of us in total and two dogs ranging from age four to seventy. The rooms were spacious and comfortable and plenty of ensuites to keep everyone happy. There was plenty to explore in the local area and we even joined in a pub quiz at the local pub Farmers arms. We took up the recommendation of eating out at Harveys as a family and really enjoyed our time. Being a large family we did cook and eat frequently at the house, the dining room was a great space to eat together I would say that a little time and effort is probably needed to restock the house with updated kitchen appliances, but a huge bonus was the use of two dish washers, as a big family this was much needed. The communication was excellent from the hosts and all in all we had a wonderful family holiday in Holmfirth. One little niggle worth noting was that the washing machine was not in full repair and had a faulty sensor, this meant constant resetting when reporting this we were told it was an existing issue. My recommendation is for the owners to simply buy a new one. With the price we paid for this holiday home we felt it tiresome dealing with a faulty appliance. With that being said I dont want to end on a negative note this was a great house with plenty of space for all of us to enjoy a relaxing week together.

We went as an extended family for my dads 70th and had a fantastic time. The house was even nicer than expected. The kids loved the hot tub and we had such a fun evening playing pool in the basement. The person looking after the property was helpful and easy to contact. Holmfirth itself was beautiful with lots of little cafes, shops and pubs. We would happily come back.
After making the original booking, we had a lot of trouble contacting Sykes Cottages. For example, when trying to pay our balance, we could not find our booking on the website. Contact through phone calls was impossible. We ended up phoning Snaptrip, the umbrella company. In contrast, the management company was very easy to contact and responses were speedy. An example was to request a cot and highchair, which we could only do 24 hours before arrival ie couldnt contact Sykes so had to rely on management company of the property. We were very lucky there was availability of these items. Generally, the property was great. Lots of room and good facilities. However, we had one very disappointing aspect. There were 9 toilets, 7 showers and 2 baths and the owners only provided 3 hand soaps. For the money we paid, we could not understand why at least small bars of soap were not available. Why were there shower gel dispensers on the wall and nothing in them? Were the guests expected to fill them?
Sharon
We had a wonderful stay. The house is absolutely beautiful and really comfortable. Rooms are spacious and beds are cozy. There was a few small critiques from all nine of us who stayed. There is no hand wash in any of the rooms and we think there should be given the price etc. Also, just small things like salt and pepper, kitchen roll, tbags and sugar would be great in the kitchen. There was a lovely welcome box with a few bits in which was great. The fridge leaked in the kitchen to the point where the floor was sodden so we had to leave a towel down the whole time. The showers have no pressure but everything else was superb. Thank you so much for having us. X

Found the property not as described. Rubbish left in bins, dust and cobwebs, outside area not clean, bbq not clean. The living room only has seating for 7 adults, we were a party of 11 adults that were expected to sit on the floor on bean bags. I would also like to say how disappointed we were with your company, when I booked, the week we would have preferred was to expensive so we opted for the later week at 4024 only to find you advertising that week for 3500

Excellent comfortable property. It was great for our family holiday with small children, parents and grandparents and a dog. Holmfirth is a lovely place to visit with plenty of interest for the whole family within the town and the surrounding area.
Great house for big group with ensuites being a big bonus. Loved the hot tub and all the outdoor seating. Loads of glasses and crockery which were needed for a big group. Having 2 dishwashers was perfect! The walking guides were really useful and the property management team were very helpful and responsive to any questions asked. The trip was just the best!
Lovely clean property with good facilities. Having two dishwashers was excellent. We enjoyed our week. Comfortable beds, some of the ensuites were a bit tight for room. Dining room was great for family meals.
Robert
Fabulous property perfect for all our family. No complaints. only issues was mould on ceiling in family room which was mentioned in the meet and greet, and an ensuite sink not draining back right upper bedroom.. everything else spot on..
These are comments made by various members of our party Lovely house, lovely location. Back door lock could do with fixing, struggled to lock back door. Well equipped, clean, comfy beds, lovely soft towels. Nice touch and thoughtful welcome gift with birthday card and goodies. Lovely spacious house, comfy bed, everything we needed. Brilliant house for a family get together. Loved the hot tub. Struggled with 1 radiator in bedroom. Best nights sleep, where are the mattresses from? Want one. Perfect house and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
We had a very enjoyable stay at The Old Post Office over New Year. The ensuite bathrooms were great even if some are rather small!. We loved the dining room, with plenty of space for everyone, and the living room was cozy and comfortable. The kitchen had all we needed, including a great range cooker. It's an easy walk into Holmfirth and we enjoyed exploring the local area. We definitely recommend this house for groups wanting a comfortable stay in a great location
Goulla
What a lovely place, we usually go out for a meal on our first night away, but we ordered a takeaway instead as we wanted to stay in make the most of the lovely house and facilities. We found it very clean and well equipped. The bed's were extremely comfortable, mattress, duvet and pillows and we slept well. I took pictures of the labels so I can purchase the same back home! The host Andrea met us at the property and showed us around and was very helpful. Definitely recommend this property.
Old Post Office suited our needs well 14 family members, aged 8 to 80 Some instructions re gate were out of date, heating depended on manual setting e. G for morning shower times etc.
Natalie

Nicola
A group of us stayed aged 21 71 for a long weekend to celebrate some big birthdays. We had a wonderful time, the house is lovely and plenty of room for us all for a comfortable stay and to spend time with each other. The host Andrea was so helpful and was easily contactable and responsive. Overall a really great stay and would defiantly stay again
Graham
The house was comfortable and well equipped, with plenty of room for our party of twelve. The hot tub was serviced every day and a blocked drain was fixed the same day. Due to problems with one of the boilers, there was no running hot water on the upper floor, which caused some problems, although all the showers were working OK. We were told about the lack of hot water on the day before we arrived, but there was no offer of any refund for this inconvenience throughout our stay.
