How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 3 pet-mention guest reviews sourced from major booking platforms - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover - we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 32 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.6/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: October 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.
Pet policy at a glance
- Please note: Up to 1 pet allowed upon request.
Pet-friendly summary
Pear Tree House Annexe occupies the top floor of a large house on the edge of Holmfirth, with its own entrance and the run of some genuinely impressive gardens. For anyone bringing a dog to the Holme Valley it is close to an ideal base: a public footpath starts at the gate, the grounds give the dog room to stretch out before you have even set off, and there is a pub and a shop directly over the road.
One pet can come along per booking, arranged when you reserve. The annexe is self-contained with its own access door, which suits dogs who would rather not negotiate shared corridors or meet other guests on the stairs.
The hosts are the other reason guests keep rating this place so highly - it holds 9.6/10 across 32 reviews. They come up in almost every write-up as friendly, welcoming and easy to deal with, and the annexe itself is repeatedly described as spotless, comfortable and well equipped for its size. Guests consistently single out the gardens and the views.
Holmfirth itself is about a fifteen-minute walk away, or a five-minute drive. Be warned that the walk back is a steep climb, which is worth knowing if your dog is elderly or you are carrying shopping. The northern edge of the Peak District is close by for bigger days out.
The niggles are small and honest: guests have mentioned the bed squeaking when you move, and a bathroom layout where the mirror shelf and toilet roll holder sit awkwardly. Nothing that spoils a stay. For a couple or a small family with one dog who want a quiet, characterful base with walking from the door and a pub across the road, Pear Tree House Annexe is a strong choice and earns a 4.7/5 paw rating.
