The huntsman inn in Kirklees

Stopped her for an overnight stay - Amazing. Friendly welcoming staff, room was lovely with a lovely view of the countryside. Evening meal and drinks were great and well worth paying the extra for a full breakfast in the morning. Will definitely come back for another stay.

Large main course, so couldn't manage a dessert but looked amazing. Staff very helpful and attentive. Excellent pub surroundings and in beautiful country setting. Highly recommended.

We met up with good friends 3 weeks ago for lunch. Real welcoming staff from the bar to the table and then a great choice of lunch menu in a very nice space. We all enjoyed separate choice well cooked food and the young ladies’ table service was relaxed and spot on. Post meal coffees/drinks away from the table in the entrance lounge no trouble. So impressed we’re about to book again to meet other friends in two weeks. Wish my JWL local was as good as this.

Stayed at The Huntsman several times now and have never been disappointed. The rooms are always super clean, the food great and the staff friendly and helpful. A real great place to stay for what ever reason you are in the area, work, business or pleasure.

Lovely country pub with rooms. Very friendly accommodating staff. Food is excellent...recommend booking for evening meals.

Great food once again enjoyed by all in our party of 7. Steak and ale pie portions have definitely been reduced from previous visits. Service was slow and there seemed to be a shortage of staff but the food made up for it.

Had the twixmas menu, we chose the cheese and onion pie. It had been sliced and then warmed in the oven. My son had the burger which he enjoyed. Would return not at Christmas as i think the food would be better. The pub itself was lovely inside and very welcoming. Would like to give higher than 3 stars when we return for the 2nd time.

Went here a few months ago and looking forward to coming back. The food here was incredible, as was the staff who had such great food and drink knowledge. Nothing was too much trouble for them. When the weather is better you must sit out in their huge garden on the large tables.. you won't ever have such a peaceful pint outdoors. Will be back soon when next in holmfirth!EDIT: Came back here after the previous good review and had a very different experience. This time we had a meal for four people and the service really let it down. We was waiting a long time to not just order but also have any drinks or plates cleared, yet could always see staff just chatting at the back. One waitress was great and seemed like she was running around and having to do way more work as the other two at the time were laying back and just doing their own thing.My own food the halloumi fries and lamb shank were very nice, however another guest's meal of gammon was swimming in grease and the egg on top was rock hard. The pie another guest had was dry to say the least. Overall just very disappointing this time and didn't reflect the price of what we paid.Also a side was missing and still tried charging for but after telling the staff about this they knocked it off.A big let down and maybe the manager at the time isn't doing their bit with their staff unfortunately, hesitant to travel all the way out to return.

Superb location, very friendly staff across all sectors. Room was clean spacious and just what we needed. Lots of choice for breakfast, too. Would definitely recommend.

Stopped here on the way back from Manchester for Sunday as a walk in.They managed to find us a table with a smile.The Sunday dinners were on but we both fancied their Steak & Ale Pie with Mash and a side of Buttered Greens, we were not disappointed and the food was lovely and a nice big portion of Pie which was packed with delicious and chunky pieces of Steak. I also tried a pint of the Special Plum Pudding Bitter which was tasty.We will definitely return but will book in advance next time.The Pub itself has a nice decor and atmosphere
