Very warm welcome from the staff who were very helpful and friendly. Room was ideal for us and the dog included access to a courtyard. Breakfasts and evening meals were very substantial. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.
Great value for money. Comfy beds. Great breakfast. Staff very friendly.

Lovely hotel, room was cosy and comfortable. Everything was clean and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend and will be staying here again!
Lovely historic family run pub / hotel. Absolutely brilliant value for money. A real hidden gem. Brilliant accommodation and very helpful staff. Clearly supported by locals, who use it, a good sign. Well done the Crown Hotel. 👏👏
Our suite was spotless and very comfortable. Excellent breakfast menu, we also had a family meal one evening, which was delicious. The staff were mega friendly and obliging, nothing was too much trouble. We have stayed there several times and it’s always a pleasure. The Crown is our go-to place when in Norfolk.
Room was clean and well-stocked, both dinner and breakfast were very nice. Staff were helpful.
Beautiful town and very charming hotel with lots of character.
Only downside was the TV was small and a bit of a pain to work, however for our trip that didn't impact us.
