On arrival check in was no bother. We stayed in a family room ( 3 adults ) which was a bit of a hike to get to. The room itself was very spacious and very clean. Amenities, tea and coffee was plenty. Only gripe was the TV was around the corner from the main double bed and viewing was awkward but other than that no problem. Breakfast was standard to be honest with plenty to choose from - nothing more to say. Would be stay again - yes and no 😁

We stayed in a Superior double room for the first time, its quite a lot better than the standard rooms we've stayed in many times previously! We are regular visitors, the Holt Hotel has become our annual pre-Christmas getaway, so I'm sure we'll be back :)
