Wonderful overnight stay

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 18 Mar 2024via mobile
We booked a one night stay B&B last Saturday, it was superb. Welcomed by Joseph and Jeff, we were shown to our room. Lovely decor throughout. The room was great, so homely and warm. The bed extra comfy with fabulous pillows. That made a change as I always find pillows in large hotels too thick, these were perfect.
We had a scrumptious evening meal in the nicely appointed dining room. I had fish and chips and they did it GF for me, such a treat. My husband had a pasta dish, excellent menu.
All in all we couldn't fault it throughout.
Sandra looked after us well and Josh. Breakfast was cooked to order and nicely presented.
You must give this a try you will not be disappointed, can't wait to be able to stay again.

Had a great nights stay here. From check in to check out I couldn’t fault the team, the food or the hotel.

Arrived and checked in without any fuss. The receptionist even offered to carry our bags to our room.

We ate in the restaurant in the evening and the food was excellent, plentiful and very reasonably priced.

A great nights sleep, bed very comfortable and no outside noise.

Breakfast was included in the price and it was delicious. Locally sourced produce and it set us up for the day.

If I’m in the area again I wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

Room tip: Rook 4 slanting bathroom ceiling, be careful not to knock your head when using the loo.

We last stayed here 10 years ago so there have been some changes.
Very welcoming entrance. Restaurant a very smart wedding area but not overwhelming while having breakfast.
Dinner served in bar area. Very well laid out and bar welcoming for villagers having a night out and for us visitors. Nice to see, often locals arenpushed out.
Food fantastic I enjoyed a pasta dish and a burger, not my usual choices and both converted.me. Breakfast was very good too.
Poached egg, hollandaise and spinach....Best I've ever eaten.
Staff were efficient and friendly,
We had a great break.

Having stayed at the hotel before, we knew that it would be warm, spotless and welcoming. Situated so well to several lovely beaches and interesting places to visit, we started each of our 4 days with a good selection of cooked breakfasts with local, fresh produce. A re - opened restaurant meant that we could relax each evening and enjoy dinner without leaving the hotel. Well presented, a very good menu, personal and friendly service ….and big portions! Go hungry and definitely don’t miss the roast!
We spent quiet evenings by the fire in the lounge area - post Christmas, we expected that. Surprised that New Years Eve wasn’t a bit more jolly. Maybe all the locals were at another party?
Our room was big, warm and comfortable - the only small gripe is that we had staff bedrooms above us, so a bit noisy early mornings and late nights. We got used to it - but it might not suit some people.
Absolutely would return to this lovely part of Norfolk and wish the owner and her lovely staff a successful 2024.

Room tip: Plenty of parking. Dog friendly.

Thank you very much for your lovely review, we do really appreciate you taking the time to leave us one. It means a lot to our small family run hotel that you had a nice stay. I do sincerely apologise about the noise you said you had coming from the staff quarters upstairs. We don't normally have staff stay onsite but as it was the Christmas period it was easier for all concerned. I have spoken to them about this and any staff that stay in the future will be reminded that we do have guests staying on the floor below. We hope you come and visit us again very soon. Kindest regards The Kings Head Country Hotel

I am so pleased to report that my husband and I have just enjoyed a lovely lunch at the King’s Head in Bircham. The bar area is so welcoming and so tastefully decorated. The fire was roaring and the whole establishment felt warm and inviting.
We were served for both drinks and food by the wonderful Joseph. His professionalism was outstanding and he was a pleasure to converse with. The vegetarian food that we opted for was absolutely lovely - compliments to the chef.
We will return…very soon.
Thank you to everyone involved! An amazing job!
