The Holt Hotel Reviews (10) Write a review I have no hesitation in recommending The Holt for Venue Service By Kier, on 02 Oct 2019Date of Wedding - 20 Sep 2019 Had my daughter's wedding breakfast (approx 100 seated people) and evening reception (approx 150 people) her. Top class food and hospitality, including the level of service provided. All staff were most helpful and friendly, Emma the wedding event manager could not be more helpful and accommodating with all the arrangements for a very enjoyable and successful event for my daughter and son in law. My wife and I also stayed overnight at the hotel after the wedding reception. We found our room comfortable and having plenty of space to relax. Managed to get a good night's sleep as the bed was very comfortable. All room facilities were well presented. The hotel as a whole has a good atmosphere, with plenty of communal areas to relax, also as well as a restaurant there is a bar available to sit and enjoy good menu of bar meals. I have no hesitation in recommending The Holt for a wedding reception or overnight stays.We would recommend this hotel very highly. Venue Service By Mrs B, on 02 Oct 2019Date of Wedding - 14 Sep 2019 We had our wedding reception here which was an amazing day. From planning through to the day itself, Emma the Sales Manager, could not have done anything more to make the day special for us. All of the staff were incredibly friendly and professional, with the food being amazing and we have received so many comments regarding this. The character of the building is why we originally chose this venue, and the Blenheim Suite where we stayed overnight is very special. We would recommend this hotel very highly.Cannot recommend this place enough.
