I was stopping at the hotel and also having a meal and drinks. At the same time as a wedding function was taking place. This put a burden on the bar area initially where a queue quickly formed at the bar, and tables were left uncleared. A few if the staff were collecting and washing glasses at the expense of waiting customers, there wasn't a balance and a lack of urgency was apparent whilst I was queuing and was commented on by a few customers. In a nutshell, more staff were needed to make it work more efficiently. .. Sorry, you did ask..!! That said I would still visit again..
The food from the bar menu was not inspiring. The smothered chicken was good but the hand battered fish was below average. Breakfast was under whelming . Having said that the staff were welcoming and attentive. The accommodation was excellent. Bed comfy , room very clean. All reception and corridors clean and well maintained. We would stay again.
A wonderful venue to book for a break in Wakefield
A wonderful venue to stay during our break to Wakefield. The Holmfield Arms is our go to accommodation whilst visiting our family locally. The hotel rooms remain very clean and cosy and have the bonus of tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Can't fault the overall standards of the hotel
Check-in was very good - professional, friendly and helpful team member.
Excellent location alongside a lovely park and easy access to Wakefield City.
Found the room of good size and clean - but quite noisy on the evening of arrival - from the corridor and neighbouring rooms - lasted approx. 20 mins, then OK.
Just 1 Bath Towel and 1 Hand Towel provided for 2 people - not particularly an issue, but not ideal.
