Lovely feedback from our latest guests.
"Thank you so much for being truly excellent hosts.
This place is so good and suited for me when doing concerts, being detached I can practice without disturbing others.
The bed was super comfy and it's so so peaceful! Definitely want to stay again.
The kitchen must be the best equipped I've come across for a holiday stay."
Wow, we have just taken a booking for June 2025, that is forward planning!
Pleased to report that we have achieved Super-host status again from Airbnb for our self catering cottage holtbank.com
Another lovely review from our recent holtbank.com guests.
"Great place - hosts are lovely, show you the place, and on hand should you need assistance with anything - yet not intrusive.
Was ideal location to see plenty of what Yorkshire has to offer and got around most of the main spots.
Well worth a stop"
It is so rewarding to receive positive words from our guests, here are the latest 4 reviews from our recent visitors to holtbank.com
"An excellent place to stay. We booked because we needed accommodation when attending a family occasion. We were pleased to find John and Ann's place - the right facilities in a pleasant and convenient location. We left having had a holiday! Thank you both for your welcome, the lovely cottage, everything we needed (plus treats!), and the care and interest you take for your guests."
"A lovely stay in a very comfortable little house. It's a very easy walk into town, and right next to the park. The space had everything we needed, was really well located and very quiet at night. John and Ann were very friendly, welcomed us to their place and have us great local recommendations (Arcade Coffee, The Grove pub. We also loved The Sportsman Beer house). Next time we're passing through we'd be sure to stay here again."
"Lovely little place in lovely location with lovely hosts"
"As a regular user of Airbnb around the UK we have stayed at a wide variety of locations all of which have been quite special. John and Ann's Coach House is exceptional. Every aspect has been carefully thought out and is possibly the finest home from home that we have had the pleasure of staying at. The fruit and sweets tray along with a thank you card take the welcome to a whole new level and is an excellent touch. I am happy to highly recommend and we expect to return some time in the future. We tend to be in Huddersfield at least once per year. Thank you for a most excellent couple of days in an extra ordinary Coach House."

A lovely review from recent guests!
"We really enjoyed staying at John and Ann's place.
The cottage has been lovingly converted to a very high standard from an old coach house and stable. It is beautifully decorated and furnished, and is spotlessly clean.
Our hosts were welcoming, friendly and helpful, providing information about local places of interest and eateries.
We will be returning."
We welcomed our first guests to holtbank.com in 2013.
Over the last 10 years we have had guests visit from around the world and all across Britain. Many have returned numerous times, their referrals and recommendations have led to further bookings.
A big thank you to all our past guests, hoping to see many of you again soon.
Nestling on the south facing slope of the Colne Valley we have Cote de Holt Bank producing its latest crop of grapes.
Its really rewarding and reassuring when you receive a great 5* review, particularly from a couple of young guys attending a Rock concert.
"Stayed here for 2 nights while attending a concert at the stadium.
The cottage is even better in reality than it is in the pictures. Its very clean, spacious and well equipped and is more than suited for short or long stays. The location is in a nice neighborhood with a brilliant park just moments away and the centre of town a 10 to 15 minute walk where there are plenty of pubs and restaurants to suit all tastes.
John was a great host, very responsive and recommended good places to eat and drink at during our stay. With all that for a very good price, I can safely say I would return to Holt Bank Cottage in the future."

We still have a few nights available in June and August.
We have just received these super 5 star reviews from our latest two guests.
"This is a real jewel of a place. Very spacious with loads of character and was the perfect location for walking or getting in/out of Huddersfield . John and Ann are wonderful hosts and made me feel right at home. would highly recommend this place."
"We had a fabulous stay at John's place. It was very clean, a beautiful and calm space, and ideally located for the wedding we were attending over the weekend. John was very responsive through messages. We had a lovely time in Huddersfield thanks to this Airbnb!"
We have just had notification from Airbnb that Holt Bank has retained its Super-host status again.
After the understandable dip in bookings through the Covid period things have started to improve, with quite a flurry of bookings over the last few months.
We are also extremely please to receive many direct bookings from returning guests.
Another lovely couple just checked out this morning after visiting relations and friends around Huddersfield.
Already spoken to us about returning in summer and also arranging for their daughter to visit Holt Bank in April/May.
Short history
This is an old map of Gledholt in Huddersfield 1850, being around 20 years before Holt Bank was built, notice the small wooded area at the corner of the field, {see arrow}.
The building was constructed as a detached 2 storey coach house, serving the main property on the corner plot.

Holt Bank history
The banner map is of 1850 and there is only Gledholt Hall, stables and associated buildings showing, no other residential development took place until the sale of fields by the local land owner around 1867.
Holt Bank originally a detached coach house built in 1869 to accommodate a horse, carriage and reputedly a stable hand/gardener/driver who lived in the 1st floor loft space, access via a vertical ladder. Heating was sparse with only a single pipe served from the adjacent potting shed’s boiler, providing a modicum of comfort for the horse and lad. Hay bales were loaded into the loft area via a rope pulley through the external door, progressively being fed to the horse via a slot in the floor, down into the manger below. With the move to motorised transport in the 20th century the building was modified and became a garage and storeroom. Over time the building structure deteriorated with erosion of the external stone work and weakening of the roof and floor timbers, leading to the roof slates dislodging and floor boards becoming unsafe. We decided to completely renovate the building and create a modern detached dwelling with quality facilities whilst retaining the original features, incorporating facilities to offer our guests the comfort and modern technology they rightly expect.
