Rosie Hodgson "Holdsworth House"

Rosie Hodgson’s “Holdsworth House” is a charming acrylic portrayal of the storied Jacobean manor, rendered on a 200 x 300mm canvas. Rosie’s use of acrylics and paint pens offers a vibrant interpretation of the building’s façade, capturing the essence of its historical architecture with a youthful vibrancy.

The vivid greens and earthen tones bring the lush gardens and stately stonework to life, inviting viewers to appreciate the venue's time-honoured beauty through a fresh, artistic lens. Rosie’s work exudes a sense of warmth and welcome, fitting for a place with such a rich tapestry of narratives woven into its very walls.

Our Gentleman Cat

Eric is the resident cat at Holdsworth House Hotel & Restaurant in Halifax, West Yorkshire.

Adopted as a stray, he has become a firm favourite with our guests. He's always on hand to welcome new arrivals and has been known to photobomb wedding shots!

He can generally be found in the hotel reception welcoming guests.

The fantastic "Gentleman Cat' illustration was created by illustrator Jo Bird and inspired by the BBC/HBO TV costume drama Gentleman Jack that was filmed nearby.
