Search hotels in Holt

Holt is the gem of North Norfolk in my opinion. So much so, we are looking to move there. The shopping is fantastic, it's so varied and everyone is so helpful. Loved the food in the Feathers and Byford. It's just an amazing place.

Holt has a lot of interesting independant shops and eating to suit all taste and pockets.There is a small fresh fish shop that sells a takeout seafood platter for 1 or 2 if you are self catering £28 for 2 and brilliant

Interesting place,extremely expensive shops,mainly overpriced ladies clothing shops. The public school that dominates the town is a major factor I think. If you want a good place to eat try Horatios,excellent quality and service.

As a Monday night it was quiet but the Byfords deli, cafe and restaurant was a treasure, a real find and so welcoming with lovely staff. Holt otherwise is a super town with several options to eat and stay.

Holt is a charming place, though quite small. One of the highlights is the steam train, which adds to the town’s quaint atmosphere. For more to see and do, I recommend visiting Sheringham, where you can enjoy the beach and explore cultural shops and entertainment. We also took a trip to Morston Quay, about an hour by bus, to see the seals in the North Sea, which was truly worth the visit. What really stood out to me in Holt was the friendliness and helpfulness of the local people. They were much more sociable and welcoming compared to my experience in London. I really felt like I experienced authentic British hospitality. Everywhere I went, whether in stores or around town, the staff and locals were incredibly helpful. During our stay in Holt, we mainly dined at King's Head and Byfords. Both offered great dishes, with the steaks being particularly delicious. If you're looking to visit Sheringham, you can take Bus 44, which runs between Holt and Sheringham. For the schedule, you can check Sanders Coaches online. I found really helpful was that at every bus stop, there’s a sign with a short number you can text to receive the next bus timetable for the day. This made getting around much easier. One thing to keep in mind is that it’s not easy to get a taxi in Holt. You need to call a taxi company in advance, and the taxi will arrive based on their availability—sometimes no taxis are available at all. There is no Uber service in the area, so plan accordingly.

Holt is a busy compact town with many independent shops. There are at least 3 art galleries all exhibiting and selling high quality works of art set in comfortable surroundings. Car parking is at a premium in the town centre but there is a large car park about 10 minutes walk from the town centre.
