The Holt Hotel
The Holt Hotel at Hopcroft’s Holt is a traditional coaching inn on the Oxford to Banbury Road, just a mile from the centre of Steeple Aston. Dating back to the 15th century, it started with just six bedrooms, but has been extended and modernised over the years and now has 86 rooms.
A notorious highwayman, Claude Du Vall, frequented the inn, and his ghost is said to still haunt the hotel today. The hotel has conference facilities and a licence to conduct civil weddings, so these days you’re more likely to find businessmen or wedding guests staying here. There is also a restaurant and a bar, which serves food.
