About us

Welcome to the higgledy-piggledy world of Byfords! 

We're a Bed and Breakfast with sixteen Posh B&B ensuite rooms and a self-catering apartment and a great place to eat, with a café that serves up hearty breakfasts, brunches, lunches, afternoon teas and delicious dinners. For anyone on the go or wanting a picnic, we have a takeaway store that is open daily with a click and collect service that can be pre-ordered online. We're based in the centre of Holt, a pretty Georgian town filled with lots of independent shops and surrounded by walks and countryside. 

Byfords is one of the best places to stay if you want to explore all that north Norfolk has to offer, whether you're looking for a long weekend away or a much-needed mini-break away from it all"
