The team at Holt Hotel is truly wonderful. We hosted a wedding here, and the team was nothing but excellent. We felt like VIPs all throughout. The food during our event was delectable and the wines were lush! Special mention to Mon who went above and beyond to help us make our event happen with such short notice. The rooms

Our day was truly amazing and a large part of that was due to having it at The Holt Hotel. Me (the bride) and bridal party stayed the night before and got ready in one of the family rooms which allowed us to get ready at the same time in one room (2 make up artists and 2 to 3 hairdressers). The hotel was extremely accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure the day ran smoothly. The holt is transparent with all costs and extremely budget friendly. The hotel is beautiful and surrounded by beautiful gardens which were perfect for our photos. We got married in the church down the road and had the rest of the wedding at the hotel. Everyone commented on how beautiful the food was, and how lovely the hotel and surrounding areas were. The Staff wer

Had 20 rooms for the weekend for our daughters wedding. The staff were outstanding. Emma, Petr and Sean couldn't do enough for us. Made all of our guests so welcome. They were absolutely outstanding with their management of our function. The chefs And their serving team, prepared and served a 3 course meal for 90 guests and not one single complaint except the size of the portions, which were massive!! The food was absolutely 5 star and hot and every table got exactly what they ordered. From the moment we arrived until we left on the Sunday, the whole experien

Had my daughter's wedding breakfast (approx 100 seated people) and evening reception (approx 150 people) her. Top class food and hospitality, including the level of service provided. All staff were most helpful and friendly, Emma the wedding event manager could not be more helpful and accommodating with all the arrangements for a very enjoyable and successful event for my daughter and son in law. My wife and I also stayed overnight at the hotel after the wedding reception. We found our room comfortable and having plenty of space to relax. Managed to get a good night's sleep as the bed was very comfortable. All room facilities were well presented. The hotel as a whole has a good atmosphere, with plenty of communal areas to relax, also as well as a restaurant there is a bar available to sit and enj

We had our wedding reception here which was an amazing day. From planning through to the day itself, Emma the Sales Manager, could not have done anything more to make the day special for us. All of the staff were incredibly friendly and professional, with the food being amazing and we have received so many comments regarding this. The character of the building is why we originally chose this venue

We had an incredible wedding ceremony and lunch at The Holt Hotel! The day was managed to perfection by Petr and his team who made our day so very special. We had a beautiful lunch following the civil ceremony, food was delicious and what a wonderful spread of deserts for our guests to choose from. Thanks to all of the team for putting big smiles on our faces and

We had our wedding at The Holt recently and were very pleased we chose the venue. The sales manager, Emma, was friendly and organised from the day of first meeting to the wedding itself. In planning the wedding, email communications were great with all questions answered along the way. The main function room was renovated fairly recently, and it was lovely. The gardens also looked great, albeit too cold to use them much on our wedding day. The food was delicious and guests gave many positive comments. We felt the wedding package offered good value, especially compared to other venues locally. Emma
