This is probably one of the best b and bs we have ever stayed in. The accommodation was extremely comfortable and all the staff were extremely helpful, friendly and welcoming. The food in the restaurant was superb - excellent choices well presented. The history of the building was so interesting- well done to the owners for creating a beautiful haven in Holt. I’m sure we will return.

This posh B and B was everything we hoped for. From the complimentary drink on arrival to the luxurious room with comfy bed, selection or teas/coffee machine and homemade shortbread biscuits. It was an extremely hot weekend and the air conditioning in our room was so welcomed. We had an evening meal there and attention to details was excellent. Staff throughout our stay were very kind, helpful and attentive. We would thoroughly recommend a stay at Byfords and hope to return again. Forgot to mention the selection for breakfast was excellent too and plates were large and full for all cooked items on the menu. They beat us!!

Very comfortable, newly refurbished room- we stayed in number 7.

Aircon was great during the heatwave!

The food and service were also really good.

Would recommend.

Only niggles:

- the fridge in the room wasn’t very cold
- the Nespresso machine was a bit dodgy
- the fire door which drunken guest come back in through at 3am bangs rather loudly

But they are niggles- all in all very comfortable and worth the (slightly expensive) price

Lovely and convenient place to stay. Unfortunately we were in the top room where the ceilings/ beams are very low so room didn’t feel ‘deluxe’ as advertised. Also my husband banged his head in the night on the beams (he’s on 5’ 9’.

Beautiful room (we stayed in 15) loved the complimentary drink in the bar and delicious cookies in the evening. Super comfy bed and pillows. Gorgeous bathroom with huge bath and shower. The breakfast was incredible, I went for the frittata which was delicious and filling my husband the full Byford. Would definitely plan on returning soon.

Amazing stay! From the gentleman at check in, to the room to staff at breakfast, everything was superb. Hotel is really really lovely, our room was very comfortable, clean and well appointed. Lovely touch having ice cold water and fresh milk in the mini fridge as well for tea and coffee. Bed was super comfortable. Breakfast was simply amazing - all complimentary, food was of a very high standard and staff couldn't do enough for you. Even on check out, the gentleman remembered why we were there and enquired as to how the wedding we attended was. The attention to little details far surpassed our expectations and we would stay here again without a shadow of a doubt. Worth every penny!

Room was clean, well appointed, a bit tight in places, but we knew that, it was in the loft eaves after all, clothes storage would have been a problem if we were staying longer as limited hanging space. otherwise Byfords has always been a great place to stay.

Just got home from 2 night stay at Byfords. Fantastic place to stay. Really comfortable rooms, bed very comfortable so good night sleep. Very clean. All staff friendly and greeted with a smile. Breakfast was great with lovely choice of food. Only one thing to say was please replace the shortbread biscuits for 2nd night as they were delicious with a cup of tea at the end of a long day. Other than that faultless.

I was really looking forward to my stay at Byfords - with its 5 star rating and what looked like very lovey rooms. I can admit the rooms were very comfortable, seemed clean and they were lovely and big and the extra nice coffees and waters in the fridge were a lovely plus. Air con was very welcome.

There were a few vital things, that considering this is a 5 star property, we were really disappointed by.
A minor point but there was no “please do not disturb” sign for us to use, which resulted in us having to let housekeeping know we didn’t want it (whilst still in bed).
Secondly the breakfast
