Hodroyd Hall is a beautiful, grade II listed private country house in the picturesque hamlet of Felkirk, in West Yorkshire. The earliest reference to Hodroyd is in 1144 and the Hall is steeped in history from its days as a monastic building, to the country seat of the Monckton family, Today, it is once again a family home and offers a unique combination of country house tradition with the informality of family life. The impressive property boasts a fabulous hall with sweeping staircase, a library, lounge area, snug, formal dining area, an orangery large kitchen breakfast room plus many more rooms to explore. There are three beautiful bedrooms at Hodroyd Hall, all unique and with their own story. Guests will be able to stay in the Cromwell Room where Oliver Cromwell reputedly convalesced during the Civil War, or relax in The Queen’s Chamber, where legend has it that Mary Queen of Scots rested during her journey to Fotheringay Castle.
The Berrie Suite is named after the strawberries that were grown on site in the 1640’s - the earliest recorded cultivation in Yorkshire! The outside of the property offers guests a courtyard area to enjoy the Summer sun and a landscaped garden to relax in. You can’t fail to enjoy your stay at Hodroyd Hall, as everything is on your door step whether you want activities, entertainment, retail, countryside, or culture. For those wanting to blow the cobwebs away, Pugneys Water Park is 15 minutes away, where you can take sailing courses, hire boats or ride a miniature railway.
Carlton Marsh Nature Reserve is also just 5 minutes away and Fitzwilliam Country Park is 15 minutes away. Fitzwilliam train station has free car parking from where you can travel to Wakefield, Leeds or Sheffield in 30 minutes. If you want to go further afield, York, Skipton, and Scarborough are easily reachable. If going by car there are many local attractions, including the world-renowned Hepworth Gallery, Wentworth Castle, Pontefract Castle, Wakefield Castle, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, and Cannon Hall; all can be reached in just 20 minutes, meaning you really are spoilt for choice. In nearby Wakefield, you can enjoy the emerging food and craft ale scene or visit for the rhubarb festival. Finally, slightly further afield a 30-minute drive will take you to the edge of the Peak District National Park and everything it has to offer.

We stayed at Holroyd Hall from 29 December to 5 January. 8 Adults and 4 Children aged 11 -14. It’s a great place to celebrate special occasions with a large group of family members or friends and we had a truly enjoyable and memorable time.The house is very large with plenty of rooms to spread out or to get together for celebrating and meals. The kitchen is well equipped with nearly everything we needed to prepare and cook meals or buffets. Large double oven Rangemaster cooker, microwave and large slow cooker, because we were self-catering, we took an air fryer. The bedrooms are large, and the beds were very comfortable. Before going we were a little concerned that the house might have been cold due to its size especially during our winter stay. However, it was lovely and warm, we even had to turn some of the radiators in bedrooms down.The house is of course very old and full of charm and character, so this does show in some of the décor but in general it was clean and tidy and surprisingly cosy.There is Wi-Fi but due to the size of the house it wasn’t the best and the signal was slow and would drop of especially when a lot of people were trying to use it. Nice location for country walks, short dive to supermarkets and local shops,15 min stroll to the nearest pub.
