Really enjoyed my stay. Room was great, so was the bathroom. Friendly staff. Breakfast excellent. My only negative was that I would like to have eaten in the evening but the menu was very limited.
Lovely room. Big comfortable bed, everything spotless. Staff lovely, friendly and very helpful.
Breakfast delicious

Lovely setting, excellent breakfast,lovely friendly staff.
Only disappointment, booked as had a pool arrived to find it was closed,wish it had said in details .
The hotel was located in a quiet area
With good parking
The food was excellent although an offering of fresh fruit for breakfast would of been appreciated
The bed and room was comfortable
Superb hotel, friendly staff. Lovely heated pool.
Lovely bedrooms, albeit dated but very comfortable bed and good night's sleep.
Could upgrade tv.
Wonderful food in the restaurant for breakfast and dinner.

Hotel okay, a little outdated but staff friendly enough. Breakfast not necessarily as described (mushrooms weren't sautéed, for example).
Every aspect from the staff, to the food, to the added extra of the outdoor pool were fantastic! The hotel is on a busy road, so we thought perhaps the noise would cause an issue but we couldn’t hear it from our room. It’s an absolute little gem and we will happily return.
Second time staying, a beautiful place tucked away just outside Norwich.
Staff very friendly, my room in the cottage was lovely.
Breakfast was ok, with a small choice but was adequate.
You can go for a walk near the hotel but it is a very busy road with no pavements so take care.
