Overnight stay to sample the delights of Holmfirth

Site and location excellent

One dissatisfied point was the very poor condition of the toad in and out of the site. Very uneven and full of pit holes...Read less.

Excellent quality spacious pods on a decent site, well managed. Close to a lovely village, nice views and National Mining Museum. Well looked after during our stay and the pods were clean, hygienic, warm and of good quality. The toilet facilities were clean and suitable, the site is a short walk from the village.

It was very wet when we were there and the car park for the pods field was seemingly under construction this made it tight to park and the hill from the car park down to the pod itself very boggy, slippery and muddy however in dryer weather this wouldn't have been an issue and once the work is completed it should be far better. The only other minor concern I had was that the welcome leaflet stated 5% off local pub food (with the leaflet) and listed the pubs. We tried two of these pubs, the first didn't serve food, the second knew nothing of the offer, including the manager so we paid full price....Read less.

This was our first outing in our new caravan. Living locally we thought it would be an ideal place to stay. We were correct. Helpful staff, good location. Even the thunder and lighting didn't spoil our stay....Read less.

In this day and age for people that like mixing work with pleasure it is essential to have a site with WiFi. This enables me to take an extended holiday and check my email on the laptop. Sadly the information was not updated on the ukcampsite.co.uk site...Read less.

We only live approx 10 miles away so location was ideal and that it was an easy walk into holmfirth. Great site with goid facilities with a lovely relaxed feel. So glad we came, already booked another two visits for this year....Read less.

Only thing that lets the site down is the badly potholed access road. Excellent location for access to public transport with frequent buses to Holmfirth/Hudersfield throughout the whole of the day until late evening....Read less.

We stayed at one of the cabins over New Year and were so impressed by communication with the staff here - especially as at the time there had been a traffic accident nearby causing a diversion. They called ahead to inform us about this and check we would be able to get to the site safely. Once we arrived, the cabin was clean, warm and had everything we needed! There is a pub nearby too....Read less.

We stayed in one of the cosy glamping cabins, which was perfect for a short break in December, being well heated and easily accessed. It had pretty much everything we needed, just lacked a toaster/grill.

Would definitely recommend this site, nice quiet location but within walking distance of local amenities....Read less.

We chose this site as it was close to where our friends booked a cottage for Christmas.

The site was fine for what we needed, though accessing it was tight for a large motorhome and the access road was very pitted. We understand this is being addressed, which will great.

Our pitch was small for also small for a large 'van, but it worked out okay and we loved being near the pond and watching the ducks.

Being Christmas we'd expected the amenities to be scaled back, but the shop was closed for 3 of our 5 days onsite and the park seemed unattended most of the time.

Overall though, it was a good place to base ourselves and we enjoyed the wildlife and local walks....Read less.

We stayed here as we were attending a gig at the picturedrome.

The site is a bit of a trek into Holmfirth centre but well worth the walk. There is a bus stop at the end of the lane and we saw frequent buses as we walked into town.

It’s a lovely little site and can not wait to return next year :)...Read less.

We stayed a couple of nights before Christmas to try out our new camper van. The site was surprisingly busy for the time of year, everyone was very friendly. The site is peaceful though the ducks do quack. As previously commented the entrance road is rutted but there is work being done to up grade it. The old toilets are tiled and dated but perfectly clean and serviceable. The new ones are height of luxury. Over all an excellent weekend....Read less.

The drive into the site was very rough but we understand that this is to be repaired very soon so this is a temporary issue. Would have liked a drive over waste. Great to find a site open in winter though. The staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful....Read less.

It's our second visit to Holme Valley Park as we love the pitches that surround the little pond. It's a friendly park too and is nice and quiet. Holmfirth town is just a mile or so down the road or you can take a longer walk through the woods. Yes, the access road to the park isn't ideal but if you take your time then it doesn't cause a problem (also, there is work being undertaken to rectify the situation.)

Thanks for another nice overnight visit!...Read less.

Although they don't usually allow wood burners because we were the only two tents on site the staff were brilliant and allowed us to use them. Winter field has a little slope on it but not too bad. Staff really helpful with walks in the area and prepared leaflets. Facilities super, new and clean. Great weekend...Read less.

We arrived mid afternoon during a period of easing of the heavy rain encountered in South Yorkshire.

The poorly signed entrance led us down approximately half a mile of the worst road/track we have ever used to access s caravan site!

The deep ruts and potholes were obviously full of the incessant rain, but even if dry, there was no option to manoeuvre around them on the narrow stone walled track.Half way down it was evident that work was starting to widen the track, but this only cofounded the accessibility due to machinery,vehicle and bollards.... a very univiting start to our stay

We were sited near to the “old” toilet/shower facilities, and whilst they were clean and warm, the actual 2 showers were very poor....1 with very little power/pressure and 1 that only stayed on for for 4 seconds and difficult to get much heated water.

It is difficult to understand why they could not be replaced with suitable showers heads and controls.

The weather did not allow for much exploring of the site and I’m sure things would look different in dry weather,BUT the entrance road is appalling and,in my opinion, should be closed and repaired to avoid serious damaged being caused.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Facilities were ok - shower cubicles were dated but large and had plenty of hooks and a bench. Would have preferred shower heads to be adjustable but as hairdryers were provided it was fine. Showers and toilets were clean. The narrow lane in and out of the site was full of potholes and urgently needs attention - we arrived during heavy rain which made it even worse. The pitch was spacious with ehu close by. Other facilities such as water were easily accessible. There was also a well stocked shop. Unfortunately, not all other guests were considerate eg very early in the morning, when it was still dark, a motor home parked near us started to continually rev their engine, slamming doors then revving again until probably most (if not all) the campsite was awake. Other sites we have visited stipulate a quiet time between 11pm and 7am for the benefit of all guests. The location of the site is very nice with plenty of trees and a duck pond (with plenty of ducks!)

This was our second visit to Holme valley. As per the first, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Not many camping at the end of October so had the choice of where to pitch. The facilities on site are very well maintained and clean, and the shop, although small, does seem to have most of the essentials you'd need if you've forgotten things....Read less.

This park is in a lovely location. However the access road is very uneven and pot holded. Also the area at the back of the pond is very tight for access with a caravan and we had to man handle the caravan into position to face the opposite direction....Read less.

We stayed in Holly cabin. Our first experience of glamping rather than camping under canvas. This is definitely the way forward. We stayed mid October and would recommend the cabins to anyone. Only drawback is the road in is very bumpy and as we arrived after dark it was a bit difficult initially to find the gate and hard standing for parking at the cabins. But staff went above and beyond calling us with directions and they left the cabin lights on to make it easier to locate. We had a great time and will definitely be back....Read less.
