We have just enjoyed a two night stay at this stylish venue, and can echo all the previous complimentary reviews.
Changes may have been made since some earlier criticisms, because the dinner menu now includes "snack" options that can be served in the bar, and although the menu was the same for both nights the choice is so wide that it wasn't a problem.
As for the breakfast, this was freshly cooked to order and also included delicious homemade marmalade
To top it all the bar serves a tasty range of local ales!

i recently stayed at the kings head with my partner and we had the most wonderful time.
it was nice to have friendly greeting when we arrived at the hotel after a long day travelling, which is very unusually from some hotels.
the food was was fantastic especially the guinea fowl, my partner enjoyed an excellent fillet steak.
the room itself was amazing, it was spacious with a kingsize bed!!! the little touches such as the homemade biscuits and port decanter made it more enjoyable.
overall the staff were fantastic and couldnt have been better. the kings head is a really fab place

We stayed one night in this hotel as we were in the area for an event. The outside of the hotel is lovely and the design of the public areas very modern and airy.
The bedroom was fairly large, well decorated and had lots of nice touches. The room was overall very quiet and clean and comfortable.
Unfortunately we found the service both at reception and in the restaurant poor and almost surly and the food was average at best. We wanted to ask where the nearest shop was and had to wait at least 2 minutes whilst the the reception/restaurant staff were discussing their table plan for the evening. When we finally asked we were abruptly told the name of the town where the shop was before they returned to the plan.
At dinner we were given the table nearest the kitchen door and by the gangway the staff moved along. When we asked the waitress if another table was available she asked the restaurant manager who spoke to the waitress as if we weren't there pointing to another table and stating that was the only one we could have if we weren't happy. Although this table was fine at least two other tables remained empty all evening and it was clear it was most inconvenient that we didn't want to sit in a gangway by the litchen.
The food was well presented but the roasted seabass was very greasy and had obviously been overfried prior to going in the oven and the linguine that came with the brill was stodgy and overcooked. We did have a very good bottle of wine at a reasonable price for a reataurant. At breakfast the next morning we weren't expecting much and we were not disappointed. Every table which didn't have a guest at it remained uncleared for the duration of breakfast so by the time we left were were surrounded by the remains of other peoples breakfast - not really what you expect for £150 per night.
Overall I would say this is a beauifull hotel let down by poor service and average food. I hope that we came on a bad day as the hotel looks as if it could be wonderfull with a little effort.

Yes it's a great place to stay relaive to the other outdated local B&B's. But seriously it's more 4* than 5.

The room (deluxe) was spacious - but needed a little updating. The bathroom scored more highly - a lot more modern and slick.

Breakfast is held in what used to be a conference room and not in the rather nice dining area. This was let down as it seemed odd and too crampd and busy. Dinners were delicious, but very expensive for Norfolk, but the most disappointing thing was that it was the same menu 2 nights on the trot!

Relative to a recent spa break at Ragdale Hall, which was only marginally more expensive - I'd go Raggers all day!

Service was very good - very strange manor of manageress who was school maam. Nice touches - homemade biscuits and port each night.

Probably won't stay there again. Would go for Vicoria next time which is in Holkham Bay - magnificent!
