Eat & Drink

The hotel is just moments from The Old Thatch Tearooms serving British dishes.

“Holliers Hotel struck me as a place working hard to blend its coaching-inn history with genuinely warm hospitality; the owners seem deeply invested in making guests feel at home with plenty of friendly engagement and hearty meals. I think it's the kind of spot where the staff's attentiveness and the evolving menu could really elevate a stay. It's a traditional experience with a lot of heart.”

Underwhelming Stay

general uncleanlinesssteep stairs
The cleanliness was a real issue. Cobwebs were in multiple areas, and the room felt generally unclean. The lack of a lift was also a major problem. Many guests, myself included, struggled with the steep stairs. This made getting to and from my room quite difficult, particularly with luggage.

The hosts displayed a cute attitude, ensuring all guests felt valued. I found the location quite convenient, near many thatched buildings and local pubs. The breakfast offered good value, exceeding expectations with a wide selection. I appreciated the presence of a pool table and games room.
The windows in the bedroom were stuck shut due to layers of paint. I couldn't open them.

damp smellovercooked eggs
The room reeked of damp. I had to keep the windows open (ALL night) despite the noise outside. The breakfast, another MAJOR disappointment, lacked variety. It was the SAME, tired selection every morning. The sausages tasted cheap, and the eggs were ALWAYS overcooked. I ended up skipping breakfast most days to eat elsewhere.
