    Nothing - we were delighted.

    We spent just one night at Byfords and absolutely loved it. The staff were friendly and couldn't do enough to help. The food, both at dinner and breakfast, was excellent. And the whole feel of the place is terrific - everything is designed to make you feel comfortable and well-looked after. We will definitely be back.

    There was nothing that we didn't like.

    The family room is spacious with 2 separate bedrooms. It was spotlessly clean. The beds were very comfortable with good linen. There were extra little touches in the room to make the stay special, such as, fresh white lillies in the bathroom and a high quality hot drinks selection. The breakfast was simply the best B&B breakfast that any of us have experienced. All the staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful and made our stay exceptional.

    We were in room 4 and it was a shame we couldn’t open any windows to allow fresh air in. The roof light windows should really be opening windows without the secondary glazing over!

    The property is full of quirks and charm. A beautifully kept building that couldn’t be in a better position in Holt. The staff are wonderful respectful and friendly and they couldn’t do more for you. The breakfast is a real treat and worth every penny, delicious. We had one evening meal as we made the most of other fabulous restaurants in the surrounding areas.

    Car parking situation is not ideal when paying so much money to then be told we'd need to pay to park in a public car park down the road. Doesn't exactly scream luxury or value for money! Service was a little slow at evening meal but not awful. Room could have been cleaner (bug in bath, hair shavings on bathroom floor)

    Comfort, size & style of the room. Friendly staff. Great food

    Ordered my evening meal from starter too dessert and once we had finished our main meal we we waited 40mins to get our dessert which still didn't come so we asked the waitress about it and she said would i like to see the menu, to which I told her we've ordered it at the start off you taken my order. Not very good but that was the only downfall to a very lovely weekend.

    The hotel was lovely and very clean, the staff were excellent, the location is very good

    Nothing.

    The room was absolutely incredible. So, so beautiful, clean and I just loved the shortbread, teas, coffees etc. (sounds silly but they were really amazing!) the bathroom was a real highlight. I could have stayed in that bath forever! As a get away as newly weds/for my birthday, this was perfect! Offered Buck’s Fizz with breakfast and given some cake and a drink too, such a lovely touch. We felt really special and spoilt and the staff were so friendly. Thank you!

    I like the feel over the building, was very interesting slight higldy pigldy but we liked that. The room was cosy but made the most of the space, the bed was so comfortable really makes a difference! Although a busy places with people using the restaurant all the time, once you closed the door you couldn’t hear any of the it. Also the breakfast was lovely my partner had the cooked breakfast and said nothing was greasy was all really nicely done!

    We could not park on the car park but managed to get a space round the corner on the public one. Would be nice to have a small area in restaurant for just drinks.

    Room was beautiful. The whole place was busy and had a great atmosphere. Staff lovely and helpful. Great choice for breakfast.
