We spent two nights here midweek in May. The location was excellent, only a very short walk to the town and coasthopper bus stop. We had the cooked breakfast which was delicious. Would recommend arch house and would stay here again.

Initially appeared fantastic with very clean well furnished room. Let down by a few things that would need to be improved upon before we would consider staying there again: Large full length glass door & windows with very thin curtains means that the room gets very light at sunrise. Bed mattress was far too soft. Breakfast was ok but bacon... More

Dear PilotDave320, Thank you so much for taking the time to review Arch House. We are naturally somewhat disappointed with your comments, as we do not feel they represent Arch House in a realistic light. We very much remember your stay, and your comments on the mattress at the time. We have very high quality medium mattresses, as if we... More

We spent May Bank Holiday weekend in north Norfolk and stayed at Arch House for 3 nights. We went with my husband's parents and had two adjacent garden rooms which were easily accessible. The rooms were well appointed and our bed was extremely comfortable. It was very relaxing sitting outside on the decking reading our books in the sunshine. It... More

We booked at the last minute for a one night stay and chose the kingsize room upstairs. Kate and Sophie were very welcoming and the room was lovely, although the stairs are a bit steep. Our only criticism would be the small hand basin in the en-suite. We had a very tasty breakfast with plenty of choice including a veggie... More

This was a late booking. We decided to chose the kingsize room and it was a good job we did, as the bed was just right. The room was warm and unable to turn the heater down or open the sash windows. The bathroom was very small, just a shower and macerator toilet which was noisy. We think it was... More

Dear Ian, thank you for taking the time to review Arch House, We agree, the kingsize bed is a great size. It must be one of our most comfortable beds! We're thrilled you enjoyed it.

Back to Arch House for the first time in a few years, but very pleased to see that the friendly welcome, amazing breakfast and lovely rooms are as good as they ever were. Definitiely recommend for a weekend break, or longer, and only a 5 minute walk into the beautiful town of Wells-Next-The-Sea. We'll be back!

What a wow entering No. 4 and seeing the oak four poster last week. (Made up for the one I could't get for our wedding 50 years ago!) Really snug behind the French windows onto the courtyard: despite the arctic winds outside. Well fortified by Kate's amazing locally sourced English breakfast and now trying to get back to target weight.... More

I have stayed here twice now and the breakfast is fantastic with locally sourced produce. The rooms are clean and tidy and I had a good nights sleep. I think Arch house provides great value for money.
