Lovely Hotel

My husband brought us here for my birthday and we stayed for one night. All the staff were very friendly and efficient. Our twin room was clean and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. We had an evening meal here and the meals were exceptionally good. Breakfast was very good too. We would definitely book to stay again.

We stayed here for 2 nights to attend a Family function in the area. We were delighted with our choice and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend this hotel.
Darren, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Booked for a long weekend away. Very welcoming, friendly staff from the moment of check-in right through to checking out. Hotel location is ideal, being about 200 metres from Norwich Cathedral (Anglican) and making the town centre easy walking distance. The buffet breakfast was extensive and tasty. A complimentary 40 minute tour of the city in a vintage Bentley (weekends only) added to the whole experience.
Neil, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Such a well maintained, old hotel in the middle of the most historic part of Norwich. We really appreciated them allowing and being especially kind to our small dogs.
