It's... fine? I've had one for years and use it for everything, including week long tours. If you plan routes in advance I can't see why the minimal way it presents a route would be an issue for you. I very rarely take a wrong turning while using it, and if I'm coming into an urban area with lots of roads I just zoom in as much as possible - it works for me.

If you can guarantee that you can just follow the planned route, the Bolt's not too bad. If you're forced to detour, or decide to do a bit of on-the-fly re-routing, then I found the lack of screen size can be a pain. But YMMV.

This. Although, I do wish it had a reroute feature instead of just beeping/blinking that I’ve gone off course.

That's reassuring to hear, I don't do much on the fly routing, mainly following routes from the web/strava and then follow the map.
I just wonder whether i'd be inclined to go off the route with the Roam vs the Bolt.

Just how bad is the BOLT for mapping/navigation? The internet is filled with opposing views on whether it's good enough: on the one hand - the screen is too small and there are no street names/the chevrons are crap; on the other hand - navigation is fine as long as you don't want anything too technical, you can use your phone if need be.
Is it worth the extra £100?
