Five star stay!!
Just spent 3 wonderful days at this gem in Norfolk countryside. So much attention to detail with meal taste and presentation, rooms tastefully equipped (along with complimentary nightcap!!) and most welcoming, friendly and efficient staff. Just wish we were here for summer with pizza nights on a Friday and Saturday held in a very tastefully rustic barn and beer garden. We can thoroughly recommend this wonderful quiet location!

Good accomodation and excellent food. Building is an older one which has been extended - so some steep stairs to rooms.

Amazing food
Our suite was amazing, we even had a little sitting room! The only problem was the bed was too hard & no light available to put my makeup on. Needed a large mirror above the dressing table as well as the magnifying mirror please. The chef was amazing and cooked especially for my food allergies which was wonderful. The table service was faultless, I had such high praise for them all. We very much enjoyed our stay.
