Lovely and peaceful. Excellent service.
Lovely, peaceful location and character building. Dog friendly. Wonderful staff and evening meal was delicious, very generous portions. Room was comfortable but needs some updating, some grubby marks but you could see they were working on refreshing the place. Overall, service was excellent and could not be faulted.

Positives: - we were able to bring our dog. Great area, very scenic for dog walking. Easy to get in and out of property. Seemingly very popular as many cars in the car park. Room cleaned, I.e, vacuuming, towel change and topping up tea making. Negatives:- Such a lovely building in a state of disrepair. Outside wooden window frames , paint badly flaking and rot starting. In the room, again the wooden window frames, paint flaking badly and covered in mould. The bathroom had mould growing on the ceiling and on the tile grout. The tiles were in need of replacement. The lower mirror had blotches on the glass. The toilet seat had hairs on it, looked like pubic hairs, otherwise the toilet and basin were clean. On entering the bathroom, it smelt unsavoury, on further investigation, I realised the smell was coming up through the drains. I noticed this smell by the reception area too. The smell was not constant. With regard to the mould in the bathroom, this could be remedied by the extractor fan being allowed to run much longer or preferably a new stronger fan. The television did not work either, had sound, but the picture was very pale and could not be seen. Tried to use adjustment but they made no difference. Problems reported to lady bar staff, lovely lady who wanted to be helpful but unable to help by allocating another room but hotel was full.

This was a lovely Tudor style property in spacious grounds with very comfortable rooms. The cistern and extractor fan in the bathroom needs looking at; otherwise excellent

A Great Discovery
Dining outside on a gorgeous terrace with a beautiful ‘tropical’ view. Plentiful tea-tray in the room. Super service with plenty of humour. One of the nicest places we’ve stayed in, very good value and doing what it says ‘on the tin’. A great find.

The property and staff are excellent, and will definitely call again. My only annoyance is with Expedia as when I looked for a room in Norwich centre it said this is by the cathedral, turned out to be12 miles from centre. Again excellent place and staff.

Would book again if in the area.
Comfy bed, clean, hot shower and good food. The service was excellent. The new owners have a task on their hands to renovate a very old character building. Our waitress said "it's a family business, they have a plan to get the business in better shape, like using meat from their farm in the meals. That's why I like working here."

Freezing
Our stay was ok, beds comfy and hotel room quiet. However, the hotel was freezing cold throughout. Our room was stone cold and we had to keep the heating on all night. The heated towel rail in the bathroom didnt work and we werent able to get any hot water in the sink. The bathroom light was linked to an extractor fan which was reduculously noisy and stated on for ages after use. We didnt bother with a shower we just wanted to get in the car to warm up. Breakfast was nice.

Lovely approach, setting and building. Lovely and clean , bed comfortable . Unfortunately couldn’t comment on the restaurant as not open evening or morning as no chef available, although an offer was given to deliver drinks to the room if required . No heating in the bathroom .

Worst Hotel Experience EVER!
Worst place I’ve ever been too. Booked a Family room for 2 adults and 2 children. Reception gentleman started to tell us that we had to pay a laundry charge for the kids bunk bed - £15 for each bed (£30 in total). Then another £15 for the dog (fair enough) but this was not clear either. I went and complained to the lady at the bar and another gentleman turned up who looked like the chef (believe it was the owner). Rude. He tried to argue the charges but I wasn’t having it until he threw a tantrum and flipped the laptop at his employee and said “take it off the bill I can’t be arsed” and stormed off. Tried to claim Premier Inn do the same LOL. We originally intended to have dinner, drinks and breakfast at the Hotel but considering he appears to be the chef I no longer had trust he wouldn’t do something to our food. I was also concerned about my car. Ruined our evening. Reception gentleman told us it was the owners partners birthday also… the music didn’t stop until 2am. Says it all!

The whole property needs a complete overhaul. It is very tired and could be a beautiful hotel with some repairs and modernisation. It is in a lovely setting but the grounds are overgrown and uncared for. A very small staff, and no one on reception on arrival, had to call someone from the kitchen to check in! The meals were adequate but not very high standard, I found a hair in my mushrooms. I think the 3 star rating needs investigation, it really is not worth 1star!!

Obviously a huge refurbishing project
The first impression was so disappointing. The reception was unoccupied gloomy and dark,and m we had to roam hotel to find somebody through lenghty soulless meandering corridors. We reached our allocated room, strong odour of bleach , it was clean and modernised Needed a drink, visited the bar , little or no atmosphere, the 2 girls serving were really nice, but there was an uneasy atmosphere. Understand its a huge project in progress , but felt really uncomfortsble. Fortunately our orginal choice called out of the blue with a cancellation, so as we had fully paid up in advance we therefore cancelled our booking moved out and had paid for a room we didnt use
