Holt Lodge Hotel

I have stayed here numerous times and always been extremely satisfied. Unfortunately this time was not the case. I have contacted the hotel and to be fair to them they have compensated me. Apart from that issue, the stay was good. Bed was a little high for my short legs! One of the chairs had also seen better days and I was reluctant to sit on it as it appeared rickety. No breakfast included this time! The room price had also increased to £80, for a rather ordinary room. It did the job but I was a little disappointed.
The food and staff were excellent and we did enjoy the special occasion we were attending.

Our room smelt of Bo, there was hair in the shower and on my pillow. The walls were so thin we could hear a neighbours phone vibrate. There was a wedding on so I assume this made the regular dinner service suffer as dinner was really bad. Olives were served with stale burnt toast - just serve olives! The staff were kind though, just rushed off their feet. We did complain and they offered us a new room but it was late in the evening and couldn’t be bothered to move.

Simple but reasonable. Rooms were basic but comfortable. Shower was very good. Cooked breakfast was tasty but the bits and bobs on self service were a bit basic - hot water wasn't hot, juices weren't filled, lack of teaspoons.

And please, please consider using jam pots that are recyclable instead of endless plastic single serve pots.

The hotel was clean if a bit dingy and dated. Service was prompt and friendly. The restaurant was almost empty when I was there. Service was ok if a bit slow and my chips were cold. I wasn't asked how my meal was until I'd finished it. I'd stay here again in a pinch but the place lacked charm and polish and felt like it had been forgotten about many years ago.

Great Sunday Carvery in the restaurant.

Choice of 3 meats, then add Yorkshire, Stuffing, Pig in blanket, 2 types potato, 5 types of veg.

And gravy!

Good friendly service from a young and enthusiastic team.

Friendly staff. Good parking. Good jump off point for the Business Park about 6 mins by car. Bed comfortable with the room clean though a little sparse but very doable all the same. Breakfast is good as was the evening fish and chips with a lot on the plate!

Very welcoming hotel and friendly staff, really enjoyed our stay here. The hotel was in great condition and looks very well presented. The room was great too. Would definitely stay here again.

Just spent New years eve here with my partner and parents.
Arrived at 3pm, our room was 203. Basic but clean so that will do me.
My parents room was 352, that was absolutely gorgeous (bridal suite). We did pay more for this room for them. So worth it.
Bar staff were excellent all day/night.
New years eve gala dinner - staff came round with a glass of fizz and canapés which was a lovely start.
Dining room was set out lovely.
The food was absolutely fabulous!!
2 starters which were gorgeous.
Lamb shank...fell off the bone and plenty of it. All nice and hot too.
Dessert was delicious then coffee and cakes.
Waiting on staff were excellent, they didn't stop all evening. Oliver really looked after us, what a lovely young lad.
Entertainment was fantastic too.
Michael Buble tribute 👍.
Breakfast this morning was great too.
To all the team at Holt Lodge, thank you for a fabulous stay. I know how short staffed everywhere is but you absolutely nailed it!!
