We stayed here for 2 nights at the beginning of the Norwich Festival in May 08. It was centrally located and very convenient. Clive provided clear instructions so Gothic House was very easy to reach by road. Parking inside the courtyard was fine. We arrived later than expected due to traffic problems and were treated to home made cake, tea and chat with the friendly owner. It was more like arriving at a friend's house, without being difficult to disengage. The room was lovely, and spacious. The whole house was beautiful and furnished in a very interesting way. I loved the pictures of ocean-going liners everywhere. Bathroom was very good. The breakfast was the best I've had anywhere, including country house hotels - I've never tasted such delicious bacon. We highly recommend this B&B.

“Discreet cat”

Gothic House

16 Apr 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

My wife and I spent three very enjoyable nights at Gothic House. We were welcomed with wine and as it was my birthday, Clive put on something extra special for our first breakfast, mmmm, delcious!

The bed was extremely comfortable and the room expeditious to relax in. A full fruit bowl with ginger nibbles on the side was much appreciated as was the luxurious shortbread treats (melted in the mouth).

My wife (who has a good eye for cleanliness) kept remarking how sparkling clean the place was.

We are not huge animal lovers and yet, the purrresence of Tensing (the full time housecat) was barely noticable.

We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return if Clive is not all booked up.

“So stylish”

Gothic House

15 Apr 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

Gothic House is so stylish that the label B&B doesn't do it justice.

The owner Clive had thought of every detail to make our stay lovely, from easy directions for finding it, to the beautiful decor, the comfortable and spacious bedroom and the delicious breakfast.

We were on a nostalgic trip to Norwich, but actually the Gothic House is a reason to visit Norwich in itself. It is a beautiful building situated in the historic heart and is within walking distance of the key sites of interest.

The welcome was particularly relaxed and generous, and flexible, as we arrived a little late and came back from a restaurant to be greeted with a glass of wine, great conversation and a curious cat.

Superb value for money. I have already insisted, rather than recommended, other members of my family stay here next time they're in Norwich.

    • Liked — Historic building and decor
    • Disliked — I had a mild allergy to the cat (altho I didn't mind at all - I have one myself and get it at home!)

“Way above a normal B&B”

Gothic House

1/1 found this review helpful

From the moment we arrived I felt very comfortable and well looked after. Gothic House is beautifully decorated and has loads of personal touches that made me feel pampered and special.

Nothing was too much trouble for Clive (under the watchful supervision of Tensing).

The house is remarkably peaceful despite its close proximity to Norwich city centre. I've already recommended it to a number of friends and definitetly intend to stay again.

“Our stay at Gothic House”

Gothic House

0/2 found this review helpful

We've just come back from a one night stay at Gothic House. We found it to be a delightful find which we would recomend to anyone wanting to visit Norwich. A gorgeous old house in a lovely part of the city, the house is packed with character and furnished beautifully. Also a great breakfast watching the Easter Sunday snow added to the experience. Finally there is a great little pub yards from the house which we made full use of. Overall a really lovely stay.
