I am just back from another lovely experience at Byfords. My partner and I booked late on a bed and breakfast with free dinner 'winter warmer' offer and stayed in room 15. We managed to grab the last spot of the tiny car park (which we have been told they may have means to sort ASAP) and were checked-in by a very cheerful and polite gentleman.

We've previously stayed in other rooms so looked forward to trying a new one. We weren't disappointed. Fantastic decor as always and the bathrooms never fail to impress us. This particular bathroom had a walk-in shower (no need for a door as it's so large!) and the double ended bath was a fantastic size too. The room was, as always, impeccably clean and comfortable, with lovely touches such as fresh lilies and candles.

We had dinner for 8pm and the service was faultless. As it was my birthday the waiter kindly brought over two complimentary glasses of bubbly, which really added a lovely touch to the evening. I had a little pot of mussels for my starter, which were fresh and tasted great. For my main I had the sirloin steak; which was cooked to perfection. My partner had the crispy beef with soy sauce for a starter, which we both thought was delicious. He enjoyed a main of Byfords' famous half chicken, which again he had no faults with.

The cooked breakfast was prompt and service was once again very good. The only grumble I would have is that the scrambled egg really wasn't cooked enough and was really rather unappetising to look at, (unfortunately it was runny and not of a great consistency). However, this is the first time that I've had means to moan about a breakfast item at Byfords so has not put me off.

The checkout procedure was very straight forward as always and we will definitely carry on returning time after time if it stays this way. We can't thank the lovely staff and management enough!

We last stayed here in November 2011, which was about the 12th time we stayed here. We are going back again in a couple of weeks time. The staff are very friendly and helpful and do every thing they can to make our stay a pleasure. The beds are lovely and comfortable and the food is excellent. We always look forward to our stay at Byfords. The town of Holt is a pretty Georgian town with lots of good and unusual shops. All in all a delight, no wonder we keep going back time and again!

The Byfords is a perfect B&B. We stayed in room #17, which was lovely. All the little things which makes staying in a nice place so very special were right there. Food was excellent, service very friendly and helpful.
You can see on the website whether the room you want to stay in is available.
We have already booked our next stay.

Wonderful rooms- website did not do our huge and well appointed room justice. Loved the whole styling. Breakfasts were fantastic and served all morning- no 2 hr time slot to try and fit into here. Great service also from reception and loved the nice extra touches in the rooms.
