Every year i come here, and i find the feeling of a nice little pub/hotel in the middle of norfolk, i feel it has been changed to 'just another boring hotel', because 3 years ago, it used to be owned by a nice gentleman and his wife. But sadly he sold the hotel to Swallow inns and hotels, then this year oxford inns and hotels took over. I feel there is not as much warmth to the hotel as there used to be.

Stayed at the Old Brewery House in Reepham for one Saturday night. The chap on reception was really helpful when we needed a taxi and rang around for us. The room was really big with a four poster bed and seperate bathroom area. Breakfast was great and the room, bed linen and towels were all really clean. The only downside was that the bedroom was in need of a full decorate, paint and wallpaper was really old. Other than that, it was an ideal base for a concert we went to see at Blicking Hall.

You have to start by considering this Hotel in the context of how much it costs. Its a very long time since I paid £20 per head for Bed and Breakfast in a nicely situated Hotel and at this price you have to forgive a few minor problems.

On all basic counts this was a good place to stay. Its set in a lovely market square which was surprisingly quiet during the night and certainly better than the television during the day. We had a four poster bed, the room was clean and not cramped and the facilities worked (including wifi). Its old fashioned in its decor and furnishings but the bed was comfy and warm. The bathroom was kept clean and was huge. The shower was good, the bath big and the water hot.

Breakfast was well cooked, buffet style and plenty of it. You could ask for alternatives but the range was a little narrow.

The restaurant was really good but a little pricey for what it offered. However, the food was all excellently cooked and tasty. The wine list was ok but watch you dont go for the youngest wines.

Problems. Well, although the bathroom was kept spotlessly clean we did watch a dead spider decompose over the six days as this was clearly slightly out of reach of the cleaner. The roof leaked on one day but that was after incredibly heavy rain and they have a funny system of letting you in after hours which resulted in me having to get out of bed one night to let some stranded guests in. The building is old, tired and in desperate need of major renovation but there is nothing really wrong with it and for the price you can afford a pair of blinkers.

Book directly with the hotel. If you can, speak to Maria. She found offer after offer for us and hence our very cheap rate. Maria is excellent and I hope the hotel chain looks after her.
