Nice hotel, bit dated but the rooms were nice, clean and cosy. I just booked an overnight stay (no breakfast). It was a 1/2 drive though to Thornhill park and ride.
Great stay - Quick check-in - Good shower - Amazing food although only serve till 8pm - Very comfy bed - They didn't tell me this place was haunted though! - Need better coffee in the rooms - A good quality coffee bag is always a nice surprise - But overall I was happy with my stay!
Would recommend. Electric car charging is advertised as free. It is in that you don’t pay hotel but charging pod does charge. No problem as I was surprised when it advertised it as free.

Good service, room cleaning very good. Food was excellent...
The £10 voucher towards food etc was non existent on arrival… I were far too tired to argue about it.
£23 for a breakfast is an utter joke unless it’s served by naked nuns
We stayed here for a couple of nights having travelled down from the North West to go shopping at the nearby Bicester Village. Room was perfect, very clean and cosy. Had breakfast in the restaurant was great as well.
The property is located off a main highway. It’s old and needs a serious deep clean. There was food in our wardrobe, the curtains were stained, backs of the doors had something (food?) on them, and there was mould growing on the windows. The reception team was very understanding and comped breakfast, which was appreciated, but sadly I cannot recommend a stay here.
My girlfriend and I have stayed at the Holt Hotel a number of times before - we love the cosy ambience, friendly staff and very nice breakfast. The location is excellent being on the doorstep of several nice towns in the Costwolds, as well as Bicester Village and Blenheim Palace. This stay was no different (in a good way) in all of those respects.
Nice to see the hotel now has an EV charger available to guests, though I daresay in the longer term there will be a need for more than just one.
Given 4/5 stars because the restaurant was not open on Sun 29th Dec evening, and we were hoping to have dinner there - this is unfortunately not the first time this has happened, occurred on previous stays too. There should really be a message emailed in advance to inform the hotel guests should the restaurant be closed on nights they are planning to stay, and a note put on the website (which I checked earlier that day, there was nothing mentioned).
Still, we will almost certainly be back :)
Excellent stay. The family room we stayed in was huge !!! Nice little separate area for the kids to sleep in yet still in the same room so we didn’t have to worry about them at the same time as them having a little privacy. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful.
