Almost filthy.
The property is located off a main highway. It’s old and needs a serious deep clean. There was food in our wardrobe, the curtains were stained, backs of the doors had something (food?) on them, and there was mould growing on the windows. The reception team was very understanding and comped breakfast, which was appreciated, but sadly I cannot recommend a stay here.

A nice stay
My girlfriend and I have stayed at the Holt Hotel a number of times before - we love the cosy ambience, friendly staff and very nice breakfast. The location is excellent being on the doorstep of several nice towns in the Costwolds, as well as Bicester Village and Blenheim Palace. This stay was no different (in a good way) in all of those respects. Nice to see the hotel now has an EV charger available to guests, though I daresay in the longer term there will be a need for more than just one. Given 4/5 stars because the restaurant was not open on Sun 29th Dec evening, and we were hoping to have dinner there - this is unfortunately not the first time this has happened, occurred on previous stays too. There should really be a message emailed in advance to inform the hotel guests should the restaurant be closed on nights they are planning to stay, and a note put on the website (which I checked earlier that day, there was nothing mentioned). Still, we will almost certainly be back :)

No restaurant service no forward knowledge given
We arrived Sunday afternoon dinner in the restaurant closed at 8pm so we went to the bar 7.20ish for a drink and meal only to be told the restaurant was shut due to it being a quiet evening this meant driving 7 miles to find somewhere to eat When I said we should have been informed of this when we checked in the receptionist advised she hadn’t known herself We went for breakfast cold scrambled eggs dried up bacon aand a coffee machine not working did not improve my mood On check out I asked to speak to a manager or in charge member of staff the receptionist enquired why and I explained the above. She then told me it was planned maintenance and there was a sign on reception . If I’d asked I would have been told this I now have been told 2 different reasons for the restaurant being closed If this was planned then I feel this information should have been emailed to me so we could have either brought cold snacks or more likely changed our booking I was left with the impression that it was our fault and we should have understood these things happen Felt really let down with the service we were given and how this matter was handled

Location was spot on
The hotel was a perfect location and the room was clean & spacious. Great parking and easy to find. The food at the hotel was ok, my fish and chips was sadly lacking fish & a taste. However my better half had pork shoulder that she really enjoyed. My own problem was the doors to the room never cut out any noise. The door slamming though out the night in the opposite room, over & over again. The loud talking in the corridor outside our room well into the early hours.

Just one night but no room for dinner. Carpets in corridors worn. Our rooms were a long way from reception and lots of stairs & no lift.
