Reviews
We recently stayed at the hotel and made use of the bar and restaurant. We really enjoyed our stay, the room, twin bed with level access bathroom. We travelled by train, using assisted travel, arriving at Wakefield Westgate, then a taxi to the hotel. On arrival we received a warm and friendly welcome. Our room was warm, comfortable and exceptionally clean. The level access bathroom was superb, a very powerful shower, a good range of grab rails, I do think it does need one between the toilet and sink. There is a boxed unit from the floor up to the height of the sink, having no grab rail on the left there as well as the fold away toilet rail type on the right side is a bit of a struggle. Both the shower and sink have press dispensers, the shower one is filled with body and hair shampoo, the sink has liquid soap, neither are messy and always filled. A short distance to the restaurant and bar, again we received a warm and friendly welcome from the staff. Food was excellent, delicious and well presented, very reasonably priced, a good choice throughout the menu; without it being overwhelming. The portions are very generous. The restaurant can and does get busy, the team of staff are to be applauded for their attention, friendly approach, professionalism, all working as a team and no matter how busy the restaurant is the staff never seem phased, the service is of the highest standard. We had breakfast included in our 5 day stay at the hotel. A warm and cheery welcome from the breakfast host, directs you to the continental self service area, once settled at your table you can place your order from the varied breakfast menu. The choice and variety is amazing, exceptional value and delicious. There were three events in the marquee over the weekend, a birthday, a wedding and a christening. As a guest of the hotel and using the restaurant for our evening meal you would not have known there were celebrations going on, the restaurant maintains the same high standard of service. We were very pleasantly surprised that any noise from the celebrations isn’t heard within our room. In the morning the caretaker and garden staff are preparing the grounds and play area for a new day of welcoming visitors, everywhere is well maintained, again, you would not have known there was an event the night before, everything was ready for the day ahead. The team of housekeeping and cleaning staff do a magnificent job of keeping everything fresh and exceptionally clean. The pub and hotel is situated within a large wooded area and grounds, perfect for a pleasant stroll or walking the dogs We used Taxis for getting around, to visit Wakefield museum, the arts house and Wakefield cathedral. We also visited the Yorkshire sculpture park. We were very grateful to our taxi driver who went out of his way to accommodate us getting there and back. Thank you to all the staff at The Holmfield Arms and hotel for looking after us so well.
Utterly shambolic booking experience. Tried to book on the phone but could not get anyone to answer so ended up booking on line for 10 people. Was told someone would get back to me within 24 hrs to confirm the booking but no one did. Then 2 days later I called at 9pm at night and managed to speak to someone and secure a booking on Sunday 2pm for 10. Two days later I get an email confirming Sunday 1.30pm for 10 despite booking for 2pm. Called the Holmfield arms and spoke to someone who advised the booking was for 1.30pm. I said I’d booked it for 2pm. She then rings me back to confirm 2pm. Within minutes I get an email confirming 2pm for 10 people and within less than a minute receive another email confirming the 2pm booking was cancelled. I called yet again to be assured the booking was for 2pm for 10 people. On the Sunday, the day we were going, I get an email saying I have a booking at 2pm but only for 9 people now. Beyond appalling experience. On the day it took over 2 hours to be served starters and lunch. Appreciate it was Sunday and busy but still a long wait. Food was good when it arrived but overall I don’t think we will be going to the Holmfield Arms again.
Asked for steak cooked medium rare came out well done. A real shame because it was great here, but really gone down hill. Been waiting one hour for a dessert. We come here quite often and usually really enjoy it however it really was not a good trip this time. Extremely disappointed!
Food was good and enjoyed the outside eating area. Service was slow especially with the drinks, we had already had one course before they arrived. All in all it was a nice experience on a nice day. I would certainly visit again if we was at the park or around the area. The guy at the bar with the glasses was very helpful and polite when taking the food order, something I wanted to mention.
I took my daughter-in-law and 2 grandsons out for dinner. We were greeted by the fantastic Ryan who was an absolute joy, he seated us and took our drink orders. I'd go again just to see Ryan. He couldn't be more helpful if he tried. We were told that as the place was so busy and it was that our food might take a while. The food was well worth the wait which wasn't that long. The carvery was excellent and the apple crumble with custard was divine. It was a hot day busy day for the staff who were rushed off their feet but did it with a smile. The young lady who took our food order was also fantastic. All in all it was a fabulous experience and one I will repeat. Thank you to all the staff.
