It was ok and that’s about it, staff not overly friendly except the older lady on breakfast duty at end of stay. Food was pretty average, we chose to eat elsewhere after first meal. Breakfast was large and plentiful but cooked option was a bit greasy and couldn’t eat all of it. Room was large, old and tired and in need of an update.

Used to go there 20 years ago for food when staying at a local b&b and it’s even lovelier now than it was then. The room was lovely and had everything that we needed. The food was lovely too (both in the evening and breakfast). All the staff and locals were really friendly too. Will definitely be going back.

The room was clean and and warm, the bed was comfortable, and there was plenty of hot water for showers and washing with towels supplied there was plenty of tea and coffee for two. The staff were all very friendly with ample parking. Food was served in the bar from a varied menu and the selections of beers would suit any amount of tastes. Great selections for breakfast the cooked breakfast was excellent and set me up for the day.

Very happy despite a wee booking glitch!
After a slight mishap with our room allocation, the staff went above and beyond to rectify, calmly and professionally, resulting in a win-win situation. Lovely old pub with rooms, good food and great atmosphere.

Must stay location
Stayed at this location for 4 nights. Never got to have a drink in all the bars, the "pub" section is large, so are the portions in the many eating areas. The food was excellent and as previously stated were generous in size. The rooms were large and comfortable and supplied with tea, coffee, hot chocolate and even a tea pot along with biscuits and mint sweets. The only fault was due to a leak on the shower and hand basin. Apparently craftsmen are few and far between everywhere. Will certainly use this location again. The staff were always polite, helpful and couldn't do enough to make our enjoyable

Full of character
Lovely country inn. Room (3) was very comfortable if bad reception for TV. The bars/restaurant areas were full of character and had a great atmosphere. Off the beaten track but only one mile from main road and six miles from Swaffham.

Upgraded to the one bedroom cottage, which I think was an old stable converted so it’s got lots of original features. Very friendly and accommodating staff.

Good Value
A good value hotel with excellent service by staff. Corridor areas a bit 'tired' but rooms very comfortable. Lovely old bar with plenty of ale choice! We have now used the hotel 3 times over recent years and will certainly use again.

Good accomodation and amenities
We all enjoyed our stay here, the rooms are a very good size, and the beds were very comfortable All the amenities you would expect were provided. The rooms were very quiet too. We also enjoyed a drink in the bar and we sampled the restaurant too, which we also enjoyed. The only thing we were surprised with, were the stain spots on the bedroom carpets, in both rooms. With beige carpets, spills do show, so some carpet spot cleaning should help the overall image. Having said that would stay again
