If you're mad enough to visit Norfolk in December this is the place to stay - and visiting off peak certainly has it's advantages! We were upgraded to a four poster room - which was simply the best hotel room I've ever stayed in. The biggest, most comfortable bed, sofas and chairs and a bathroom bigger than most London hotel rooms!! The doors opened straight onto the garden - which I can imagine would be really lovely in the summer. After unpacking we spent a couple of hours in the library with tea and scones and the newspapers - oure relaxation!

Most of the reviews on this site have given overwhelming praise to the service and I can put agree. The owners, Lindsey and Dom are friendly, accomodating but not at all intrusive. Lindsey is a wealth of knowledge about the local areas and was happy to recommend walks and lend maps. The excellent service was not limited to the owners - all of the staff - from front of house to the waitresses were polite and knowledgeable.

The only tiny downside was the food which was very good but a little limited as the menu doesn't offer a huge range (to be expected when everything is cooked fresh) and changes on a monthly basis. So if you were staying more than a couple of nights and didn't fancy the special it could be repetative.

After an extensive search, and reading reviews on this site, we booked at the Beechwood for 2 nights. From the start when we were greeted by Lindsay in the car park and our luggage was spirited away to our room, we knew it was the right choice. All the staff were extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable of the region. The food was amazing, the room delightful (a four poster suite). We will definitely be going back.

If you are looking for a relaxing stay in a delightful hotel, with superb food , friendly, attentive staff and fabulous bedrooms then this hotel will hit the spot!

Lindsay and Don are the perfect hosts, ensuring everything is done to provide you with a truly memorable stay at their lovely hotel.

From the moment we arrived we were aware of an exceptional level of service and an amazing attention to detail.
Our bedroom was beautiful, decorated in great style, with a very luxurious bathroom and lots of molton brown toiletries.

With all of Norfolk to explore on the doorstep, The Beechwood provided us with a luxurious end to each day , with drinks in the
garden (complete with comfortable summerhouse) and an excellent meal from a locally sourced menu. Breakfasts were some of the best we have ever had.

The Beechwood richly deserves its many awards and we cant wait to return .

We stayed for a weekend for our wedding anniversary and the Beechwood was everything we wanted it to be. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing but the staff and service were first class. We felt that nothing was too much trouble and we were truly treated as house guests.

The food is absolutely brilliant, cooked to order and varied to suit any dietary needs. Everything is fresh, the fruit platter at breakfast is as good at 9.45 as I'm sure it was at 8 am, if I'd have wanted to drag myself out of bed to see. There was a good choice of locally produced food.

The room was clean and well furnished and joy of joys the bed was comfortable.

The location is great for exploring all of Norfolk. It was well located for the broads as well as the coast, and although we didn't venture to Norwich on this trip it is certainly accessable.

Since returning I have been recommending the Beechwood to my friends and can't wait to return myself.
