My son and I returned to this location after departing an extended stay in the UK 18 years ago. Time has not tarnished the Holt. Excellent location, spacious and quaint rooms with breakfast include. Great stay, great location, reasonable price and nice accommodations.

I have had a delightful weekend at the Holt (lovely walks especially by the canal)before but this was a business trip. I arrived late on a very cold night and received a warm welcome which included delaying the bar closing so I could get a much-needed pint! Would definitely recommend it and stay there again.

Lovely, OLD (hundreds of years), but tastefully updated hotel. Fun, kinky history of highway robber of barrons who let the ladies keep their baubles if she would dance with him. Hanged at age 27. Rumors of ghost even tho' hanging not local to hotel. Just outside an English country village of 1000. Just north of Blenheim Palace (Churchill). Full english […] buffet breakfast was excellent. Lovely patio and gardens to mill about. Full dinning room and bar menu both avail for dinner. Only disappointment was the quality of the the bed. OK, but not great. I would certainly stay again.

Hotel accommodated our 2 dogs for small surcharge and were made very welcome! Came back to the hotel at 3am following new years eve party and was let in and welcomed even at that time of night. Hotel staff were great at all times.

Staff were excellent. Beds were too wobbly.

The hotel was very easy to book through Hotels.com the information about the hotel was accurate and we were warmly welcomed upon arrival. All hotel staff are friendly and able to help with any queries. The rooms were comfortable and the age of the hotel adds character to the shapes of the rooms. We were unable to obtain a signal on the TV because of […] a heavy down pour of rain and were immediately upgraded. Excellent location for our visit to Blenheim Palace the next day. Read more

The hotel is pretty and close to a lovely village BUT...The staff seemed a little abrupt and avasive. The hotel is very dated and although I am not adverse to the qualities of 'shabby-chic' this was just a little shabby. I was unable to check-in early without making a payment of £10 and as I arrived at 12noon after a 2hour journey and simply wanted […] to use the room for 30minutes in order to get changed for a wedding in the area at 2pm, after my long journey... I thought that was a little steep, so I changed in my car. The night staff were far friendlier and helpful and upon my return to the hotel at midnight I was shown to my room. Which was BIG... but looked as though it should have been a room for staff. A green bathroom suite with corner 'jaquzzi' bath (complete with bath panel hanging off in one corner), carpeted bathroom, and a cupboard the size of a office... If I were rating this room on size and in the 1960s it would have been given 5*. However, my main gripe is, that at 2am I had to get out of bed and put my hoodie, hat and scarf on over my pjs as the room was so cold :( I could not then get back to sleep for quite some time making the long journey home very tiresome and dangerous!! On a plus note the breakfast was lovely and fresh and the staff were very friendly. Read more

Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Would have liked some variety for cooked breakfast (kippers would have been nice for one day).

I booked myself into the Executive room hoping to get a nice relaxing break. It wasn't that great to be honest. The bed was a mattress on top of a wooden box! it was so hard I just couldn't sleep. When I finally got to sleep I was awoken by staff at 1am who was having a row with each other in the courtyard. Then I was awoken again at 3am by the staff […] again in the courtyard still drinking and chatting and the sound just travels around the courtyard. This happened every night except when it rains when the staff must have found somewhere else to drink and chat. The room had a connecting door so I could hear everything my neighbours was saying, lucky for me they went to sleep early. I could grow potatoes in the carpet it was so dirty. It could do with a lick of paint also. Read more

I was extremely happy with this hotel, everthing about it can be described as excellent.I would be happy to stay here again and recommend it to friends.

Good inn, the kind a tourist to Britain would want to stay at. Large comfortable room, not especially luxurious, but good water pressure. Pub did NOT have a real, traditional ale however.

All staff were very helpful and accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble.

Booked for the British GP weekend when the hotel was very busy.I found the previous reviews of it very accurate, its very clean, the room I had was very dated - though it had almost all I required - hot shower, decent TV, room safe etc. The staff are very pleasant and helpful, the breakfast was really good.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I can't fault the staff and my room was clean and comfortable, but very dated and shabby. In dire need of modernising, and quite a depressing place to stay.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

A very relaxed atmosphere, staff helpfull & freindly, the food in the bar was very good although they could do with some extra tables, overall a nice hotel would recommend.

Impressive period building slightly let down by tired looking interior, as stated by many other guests. However, keeping the rates in mind, you should not expect a five star environment. This hotel isn't part of a large chain neither (which may add to the charm). Our "standard" room wasn't big but certainly provided everything we needed. Bathroom was […] the least impressive bit; a bit seventies with staines everywhere and cracked tiles. But definitely clean throughout! Positive points (and enough to recommend this hotel): lots of free parking space, large welcoming reception area and lobby, nice breakfast, garden to play with kids and convenient location for both Bicester Village and Oxford. No other restaurants or pubs at walking distance though. Read more

A beautiful old building that is starting look a bit tired. Staff were fairly good. The location is a bit remote which means a 15 minute drive to a restuarant.

Only one night spent in this hotel, prior to morning meeting in nearby Steeple Aston. Very nice atmosphere and good cuisine. Suited my purposes; would return if business recalls me tto the area.

Conveniently situated as a centre to explore Oxfordshire. Have no hesitation in recommending the Holt Hotel. Excelent service, polite and attentive staff. Very good food, well prepared and presented. Menu varied and plenty to choose from. Good wine list. Super breakfast, again, plenty to choose from. If you are on a "diet" don't stay at the Holt !!

A friendly hotel. Had a lot of charm and very comfortable. The staff were friendly and breakfast was excellent. Not for those who like a boutique style. Good location if your are visiting Bicester Village!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

On arrival, this hotel look lovely, however once you enter you can see that it is looking very tired. It must be dificult for them to do this as there don't seem to be too many guests. MY colleague and I stayed for 2 days and dind't meet any other guests. From a business point of view, the wifi signal is practically non existent, with a continual message […] of very low signal/no connection. The rooms were also very drk, making it difficult to wrk on my laptop. I'm sure it's a lovely hotel if you are just staying for a night passing through, don't stay for much longer. Read more

While the hotel is easy to find, has good parking and looks good, there are a few things that surprised me. You are 'forced' to pay for their internet as other internet doesn't seem to work. It's a very rambling place, with some distance between the furthest rooms and the dining room. However I can't fault the service provided by the staff as this was […] excellent. Read more

The hotel was quiet but quiet far from the city center. The room was clean but tight. Spacious parking. The customer service was good. Generous buffet breakfast.
