4- and 5-star hotels in Holt
This shortlist covers every 4- and 5-star hotel on our Holt list, from town-centre townhouses and inns to cottages and spa apartments out along the coast road. It is for couples, families and short-break visitors who want the top end of Holt's accommodation without giving up free parking or a garden.
Staying in Holt
Holt is a small Norfolk town of brick and flint houses and narrow streets just inland from the coast, with the Georgian market place, the High Street and its shops, cafés and pubs at its heart. The hotels here are called after the town itself, but they sit in different spots: The Feathers Hotel on Market Place and The Lawns and The Croft close to the centre along Station Road, Kerridge Way and Norwich Road, then The Pheasant Hotel Holt and Wiveton Bell out towards the coast road and Blakeney Road, and Old Town Hall House, The George Hotel, Blakeney House and Poppies further out at High Street addresses in the coastal villages.
That spread suits different kinds of trip. Couples and short-break visitors want the town addresses, where you can leave the car and walk to dinner. Families and groups do better in the cottages and apartments, which bring kitchens, gardens, cot and high chair, family rooms and sofa beds. Guests who want breakfast, a restaurant and a bar under the same roof should look at the inns, which is also where guests rate the stay most highly: the two most reviewed properties on this list both hold guest ratings above 4.3 out of 5.
