Top Wells-next-the-Sea Hotel Reviews

 The Pheasant Hotel, Holt, Norfolk

The Pheasant Hotel, Holt, Norfolk

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed two nights in a very well appointed room which, despite being right next to the kitchen, was quiet and peaceful. The staff were, without exception, warm and friendly and other guests we spoke to, who were regular visitors to the chain, were very complimentary about all of the hotels. The grounds were a delight to walk in and the whole hotel a pleasure. If I were to criticise anything, it would be that I had to ask morning coffee to be made stronger and that my wife’s special diet meals were unimaginative. They met the brief, but were bland and boring. Nevertheless, we will definitely return as it was both a wonderful stay and convenient for us visiting a friend in Holt."

"Lovely!! Perfect location on route to coast. Stayed in the main house, super huge cosy twin room with everything we needed, really clean and beds comfy. Staff were super helpful from the moment we checked in, the pub next door was cute and welcoming bar staff and friendly guests all chatting. Managed to get a swim & steam in before checking out, loved it! It’s not a modern hotel but clean and felt like a treat to stay. The tea & biscuits in the room was a nice touch. Would recommend 🙂"
