Consistently great
Have stayed before and will again. This is a really good 3 star hotel that is excellent value for money. The hotel seems to be a very popular wedding venue but if they now have 4 rooms in a house at the bottom of the drive, so if you dont want to be part of the wedding celebration you coukd (hopefully) stay there. Great breakfast and very helpful staff make this my 'go to' hotel in Norfolk

Time for a renovation
This is the third and final time I will stay. The staff are friendly but the accommodation and cleanliness is a lot to be desired. Every time there is an issue, shower heads, water tempterature. Litter in room, cobwebs, for the price it is a bit expensive for what it is

I arrived at the property when they had lost water but were hopeful that the ussue would be resolved. I booked in and went out for food. When i returned they were still hopeful but offered for me to cancel my booking and refund. I did this, and then they have refused my refund. My room was scruffy and dated but my brief stop it seemed clean. Whilst the staff were pleasant to me, and I dont blame them for the burst water main, the lack of refund is poor customer service.

Double bed was small especially considering size of room - 1 of us ended up sleeping on the settee. Also noise from kitchen ducting. Staff very good. Breakfast ok but would have been nice to have cereals as well as cooked breakfast not just either or.
