It's a great building, room was terrific (you have to like or put up with the country house look) and breakfast was OK (apart from the funereal music). But the owner really needs to cheer up, say hello, force a smile. Plus the £5.50 corkage is a rip-off but I presume everyone just smuggles wine in like we did. It's... more

Booked in for two nights B&B for a short break in Norwich - - This is a marvellous place to stay -- Friendly service, beautiful rooms, a great honesty bar to help yourself, and delicious breakfasts.

The room was large enough to accommodate a massive desk, as well as a sofa, and the bathroom had dressing gowns as well as a selection of perfumes. Breakfast (haddock) was cooked to perfection, the enormous bed and soft pillows as comfortable as they... more

Absolutely out of this world - magnificent!!! The hotel was built in 1632, and has many of the original features - it is small - only 7 master bedrooms each with its own lounge (we were lucky enough to have a guided tour). The bedroom was sumptuous - the drawing room where we relaxed after helping ourselves from the honesty... more

We had peace, quiet, beautiful room complete with four poster, jacuzzy, fresh coffee, tea, chocolate, bottled water, biscuits etc. tv, radio, fresh flowers and various books. The surrounding area is quiet and suburban, not quaint fields and babbling brooks. The house... more

A very fine Gentleman's Residence dated 1632 that would have been at one time surrounded by glorious countryside, but putting that aside, it's well worth the effort of finding. Once inside you are wanting for nothing - luxurious even sumptious decor, thoughtful and charming little extras...a teddy bear even! Food is of the highest quality and breakfasts are beautifully laid... more
