What guests think

Across recent reviews of Byfords, travelers consistently praise the friendly, welcoming staff, comfortable characterful rooms, and excellent breakfasts, with many noting a central Holt location that makes it a handy base for exploring the North Norfolk coast and towns.

Rooms are reported very clean. A few isolated drawbacks include a tight loft room with limited storage, weaker Wi-Fi for one reviewer, no USB sockets in one room, a faulty bath plug, and a minor housekeeping or 'do not disturb' issue. A relaxed, small-scale stay overall.

Efficient air conditioning, very comfy bed and pillows, plenty of hot water and good shower. Bath plug in Room 7 needs some attention - slowly let the water out of my bath as didn't fit securely enough! Excellent breakfast

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.

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

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.
