  Generally this is good accommodation in a convenient location for the town centre.

  It’s a lovely little house with four bedrooms, a well kitted kitchen and small dining area plus a nice little garden and hot tub. Some downsides were disappointing though… - the TV reception is awful. Can only get the two main BBC channels, no ITV and barely any freeview channels. To many people this might not matter if you’re happy to sit with a book or out a lot. However we were staying with older parents who were very keen to watch their favourite TV shows whilst we were out elsewhere, and shows we’d planned to watch together we couldn’t. We’d also planned to watch specific sports events which we couldn’t so needed to go out searching for bars showing it. I reported this on day one but no comment was given and nothing fixed so I assume it’s a regular problem. - the internet seemed a bit temperamental, it didn’t work for the first 24hrs or so, which was annoying as two of us are self employed and couldn’t do our work/dial into meetings. Given the tv situation it also prevented us watching anything digitally. - there were a lot of spindley spiders around in many of the rooms when we arrived which suggested there hadn’t been any cleaning with feather dusters to get corners etc. a few of our party hate spiders so this was a bit of a problem! - the dining room is pretty small and was a struggle to fit six people round a table comfortably, and there’s only two stools at the breakfast bar, so a lot of us were left stood leaning against worktops a lot. Similarly the lounge is homely and comfy but once you have more than 4-5 people it becomes a bit of a squeeze. I’d say with a few really minor improvements this would go from 3 to 4-5 star, it feels a shame such a nice property was let down by really basic things.

  We had a fantastic weekend.

  The house was so lovely and great location, minutes walk down into the town. The kitchen came equipped with absolutely every utensils you can think of along with a built in coffee machine and huge American fridge/freezer. The house was spotless, well kept and looked after. Plenty of parking - we parked 3 cars on the private drive and there is Space for cars outside the house too if needed. The outdoor decking area with hot tub we loved! Even managed to sit out in the sunshine Saturday afternoon on the sun loungers next to the hot tub. Thank you ! We will definitely be returning.

  This is a beautiful house with amazing amenities and great location in close proximity to bars and restaurants and plenty of walks.

  Andrea greeted us at the property with a very generous hamper basket filled with goodies and gave us a tour of the house & garden, showed us how the hot tub works and recommended a few places to try while in Holmfirth. The house is perfect for a weekend getaway, large, clean & very well equipped with everything you might need. The hot tub is very spacious & easy to use. We had a lovely time and couldn’t recommend the Porthole and Andrea enough. Thank you very much for your hospitality

  We spent a wonderful weekend at The Porthole as a group of friends.

  Andrea kept us well informed with some great recommendations for places to eat locally and we had a lovely welcome basket. Porthole has a well equipped kitchen & homely features with a selection of fun board games, which we enjoyed. Location is also a short walk from town where there are lots of lovely places to eat & drink, especially Harvey’s, which was fabulous! Overall, we couldn’t fault the accommodation or host as both were great, very happy customers!

  This is a great property in a lovely village.

  It was just about large enough to house 10 of us at an affordable price fo a lovely weekend. Andrea was very accommodating and very helpful , the property has everything you would need. There are a few minor improvements including outside lighting for use of the hot tub at this time of year, and an absorbent mat by the back door as this is the only entrance point, otherwise a lovely break in a lovely place
