Although we only stayed 1 night ,i would recommend the holt, staff were friendly and helpful,the food was good ,room was large and well presented, also had a balcony 🙂,had a bit of a tussle with the shower but all in all i am very satisfied
We loved the Holt and will certainly be back. The beds are bit firmer than we like, but that's a matter of taste. Everything else was picture perfect - Samuel behind the bar is knowledgeable and friendly, and the restaurant food is exquisite!

Staff lovely but way overpriced. Paid £180 for an incredibly tiny room which was hot & stuffy & had no air con. The road outside was noisy all night. The hotel was fully booked so couldn't move to another one or given an option for discount or anything.
We had a good stay at the hotel. The place is going through a refurb at the moment and after our first room didn’t quite meet expectations, the promptly moved us to the new part of the hotel that was lovely. The evening meal and breakfast were excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
Lovely place to stay with a very nice breakfast to wake up to. The room was spacious and well equipped, and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The hotel is situated road side on a junction but there was no evidence of this from our room. It was very quiet. If I had to criticise anything it would be the carpark. It was a little on the small size if like us you have a large estate car, but I think there may have been additional parking out back. All in all a great place to stay.
I booked this stay for 2 gentlemen on business which included breakfast. When the gentlemen arrived for breakfast the lady told them that breakfast wasn't included and they would have to pay £32.00.
At 8am the guys called me to clarify the situation, I spoke to the lady and advised her that on Hotels.com all rooms included breakfast which she said they didn't. I then sent screenshots of the Hotels.com website showing that all rooms included free breakfast, which she said wasn't true.
I then sent one of the guys a screenshot from the confirmation showing it said free breakfast included, which he showed her and she reluctantly let them into the breakfast room, which by this time they were late for their appointment.
Extremely poor customer service and very embarrassing for the 2 guys. I suggest that all members of staff understand what agreements you have in place with 3rd party booking companies.
we found the Holt hotel to very clean, comfortably beds and friend staff would recommend.

Beautiful place but..
The hotel itself is a lovely building, the grounds are beautiful and well kept. Inside the restaurant the edges of carpet are filthy with dust and spiders webs.
The hotel room itself was nice, however the bed was very firm. The bathroom was clean but the main head shower did not work and made an awful noise.
The food was excellent, our evening meal and breakfast were both delicious. However restaurant service was not the best.
Our main problem was the gentleman on reception we found him very rude. Even after he had charged us again when I was sure we had already paid. Thankfully I located the email as proof. He eventually gave a refund after insisting that I move room before issuing the refund. He was not apologetic and his customer service skills were definitely lacking.
All in all glad we only stayed one night. Don’t think we would return.
Clean, cozy traditional Inn. Great breakfast and restaurant. Very clean and modern. You’ll have to be driving, but across the street from a Tesco gas station for snacks and gas if needed. Just lovely!
