This wonderful building and its owners and staff really make you feel welcome. We stayed 2 nights and had a spacious and very comfortable room with a large bathroom. Common areas are inviting and well maintained and the food was a very nice surprise. We had dinner there both nights and the service, menu and food was excellent both times.... more

An excellent hotel with highest of standards throughout. Bright and spotlessly clean with friendly and attentive proprietor and staff. Cosy and relaxing atmosphere. Comfortable room with very good facilities. Food first class, the chef is to be congratulated! Very good wines at reasonable prices. Convenient bus stop outside hotel gate for a short ride into the town centre. On our... more

We travel from Canada to the UK at least twice a year. We always ensure that we have a booking at The Old Rectory. It is small, it is is everything one wants when away from home. Chris greets us and helps us with luggage (and we do not travel lightly) there is a welcoming cup of tea in the... more

We have stayed at the Old Rectory for over 10 years & try to stay @ least once a year - don't get me wrong I usually subscribe to the "don't go back" philosophy, but this really is a little gem. I have have stayed at too many "indifferent" hotels in my life but you could never label the Old... more

We only stayed one night, but I would recommend this hotel if only on the quality of the food. We had both Dinner and Breakfast and both were delicious - a testament to the cook and the quality ingredients - often locally sourced. "The Rectory" breakfast was especially tasty. Great hosts and a good location close to the centre of... more

Booked this hotel based on the reviews on this site and have to say that I was not overly impressed. The location was good, not far from Norwich city centre. I know I should have expected the room to be dated considering the age of the property but it was just a bit too dated for my liking. The bathroom... more

My wife and I stayed for two nights in September 2007 while attending a friend's wedding. The small property is a couple of miles outside Norwich and is near a river, so if the weather is good then some nice walks are possible. The house has well kept gardens and the rooms are clean and comfortable. We didn't try the... more

Booked the hotel on the strength of Tripadvisor and was delighted with the stay. The hotel lives up to the recommendations and will look to stay again. Nice walk to the boat station to get the river boat into Norwich more

We booked the Old Rectory at the last minute (on the morning of our stay) and were very pleased with our choice. Located in Thorpe St Andrew (5 mins by car from the city centre) the hotel is a beautiful old house set in attractive gardens with an inviting swimming pool and spacious guest rooms. Our room was very well... more
