Picture the scene. It's Easter weekend, Saturday night. You're sitting in the comfortable lounge, log fire roaring. Curtains are drawn against the outside world.

We stayed with friends at the Old Rectory Hotel just outside Norwich and found it a wonderful, tranquil place to stay.

Our friends had a lovely room... More

A truly five star experience! Everything about our stay was exceptional. Chris was very hospitable. Our room was very warm and inviting, the bed was luxurious. Dinner is a must- the food was exquisite! We would recommend a stay at the Old rectory wholeheartedly.
