Summary: Really lovely hotel, great staff, comfortable cosy room and great location. The breakfast was excellent however the evening meals were very disapointing.

Summary: The Hotel and our Stay were very good, the only problem for us was the Room was very hot and we couldn’t open the windows very wide, there was an air conditioning unit in the room but we couldn’t leave it on all night as it was too noisy and we couldn’t put the vent out of the window because as I said the windows wouldn’t open enough so we found it difficult to sleep!!

Summary: The staff were very polite and helpful. The food, both evening meal and breakfast were excellent. The building had a very rustic and cosy feel. Would imagine at Xmas, would be very atmospheric and charming. Definitely will return if visiting this part of Norfolk again.

Summary: Telly and WIFI did not work although staff did sort these matters during the stay. Restaurant service was chaotic but food was good.
