Holt is a Georgian market town a few miles inland from the North Norfolk coast, rebuilt after a fire in 1708 and still centred on a Market Place of independent shops. It is also the practical base for a stay on this stretch of coast: Blakeney, Cley and Sheringham are all within a short drive, and the heritage North Norfolk Railway runs from here to Sheringham.
The Feathers is the in-town pub with rooms, a Georgian inn on the Market Place with fourteen rooms in the main building and more in The Lawns annexe — dogs are welcome in the bedrooms. A mile out at Letheringsett, the Kings Head has four boutique rooms and a kitchen with two AA Rosettes, with dogs allowed in selected rooms. The Pigs at Edgefield is a different kind of place: eighteen rooms, several with private saunas or hot tubs, a spa, and a few dog-friendly rooms at £35 a stay.
Further inland, about 17 miles away, the Brisley Bell is a country pub with six rooms and a place in the Estrella Damm Top 50 Gastro Pubs — too far to list as a Holt pub, but worth the drive.
Not in Holt itself, but close enough to stay — the town's shops, pubs and sights are only a short trip in from any of these.
