Excellent cafe, garden centre, farm shop and ample grounds including a walled garden (fig, pear and apple trees laden with fruit in late summer). Sweeping lawns with majestic oaks - perfect for picnics.

Great for an amble along established paths and off the beaten track. You could take a picnic for a sunny day and head out across the boating lake. A good opportunity to tie this in with a visit to the recently refurbished ‘Halifax Piece Hall’ - a magnificent building housing two floors of unique retail outlets.

This is a firm favourite. Hearty breakfasts served from 9.30 am and lunch from 12.00 to 2.30. We love ambling along the canal towards Marsden and then heading back for a breakfast of coffee and croissants, a bacon butty if we're famished or a slice of vegetarian frittata for a light brunch.

We have been going to ‘The Three Acres’ for special family gatherings for many years. Definitely worth considering for something special. It’s a little more pricey than your run-of-the-mill restaurant, but worth it. It has a ‘luxury traditional country inn’ feel with a warm ambience and delicious food.

Fabulous fish dishes on both occasions that I’ve visited. Country modern vibe - intimate low lighting rather than diner glare. Five minute walk along the Woodhead Road from Holmfirth, but still within striking distance of the central bars and cafes.

You can expect a very high standard of Covid protocols here, with one-way systems, screens separating tables and staff who are attentive and yet mindful of the need for social distancing. The food is delicious. We ordered a shared sea platter as a starter and a range of main courses, including the veggie option. The meal got a thumbs up from everyone.

Only an 8 minute drive away, it’s certainly worth thinking about an M&S meal if you fancy hunkering down for a night in!
