An ok hotel but in need of a facelift
The hotel is ok but it’s very old fashioned. It needs updating. The people are very friendly but the guest areas and rooms are decorated like something from the 1980s. Our room had a trouser press and one of those old fashioned box hair dryers. Functional but just outdated. The shower was impossible to regulate and was over a bath. Bars of hand soap were provided which again is just a bit old fashioned. The bed was comfortable and there was an easy chair in the room but the curtains weren’t lined so it was daylight from 7am and impossible to not get woken up. The shower also leaked and the bath panel was all bulging from being damp. For £105 a night excluding breakfast it was a bit expensive.

The property was clean with nice garden surrounds outside.. Took my dog with me was only charged 10.00 for the 4 nights.. Breakfast and dinner are offered nice little dining area... Depending on what you want to do there is bus stop near by to take you jnto kings Lynn.. No pubs near by but they do have a small pub in the hotel... We used it a a base and ventured out everyday so a good stay...

Andel lodge looks good from the front but on a busy main road.Arrived at 5 pm knowing there was no breakfast and told that the bar was closing in ten minutes and restaurant was closed on Sunday evenings.The room was like a holiday camp chalet very basic with strange plumbing in the bathroom.We feel that the accomodation was over priced at £80 a night only worth £50 but the weather was great for our stay in Norfolk.😐😾

Dear Peter We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your stay. We do try to make sure on all sites any restrictions there are regarding bar & food service, so our Guests know what to expect. I do believe drinks were organised for you and sent to your room. I feel all our rooms seem a little "basic" at the moment as we have had to remove so many things from them due to Covid, transmission, etc, for our Guests' safety. I would like to thank you for taking the time to submit your feedback Very best regards Tina & The Team

Nice bar area. Good idea to have outside rooms you can access direct from the car park at any time - we went to a late night party. Personally - I love the decor in the rooms. Also the imaginative use of space with a folding door to the bathroom. Nice garden with tables too

Hate to complain but !!!!!!!!
Walked into the property with an overwhelming smell of cigarettes, which continued throughout the hotel smell masked by air freshener. The check in was good. We booked a deluxe room but there was a problem with the window which is important to us to open, so we moved to room 6 looked ok, at least the windows opened unfortunately the windows looked as though they had never been cleaned from been fitted, the plastic not the glass. The room was old dated and shabby bed was very uncomfortable. Bathroom same condition worn out. The food on the first night was poor, peppercorn sauce horrible. Ridiculously slow service, faulty towers comes to mind. Wine was good. Second night the food was very good nice gentleman looked after us, much better evening. Breakfast was quite nice.

Dear Mrs Philips We are so sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy all aspects of your stay with us. I am genuinely shocked to read that the whole hotel smelt of cigarettes as there has been a smoking ban in place for many years prohibiting this in ALL public areas. Service was a little slow on your first night as all our Guests decided to appear at the same time, my apologies. We will look into your comments regarding the bed in this room., although all the mattresses in the main building were changed the latter part of last year. Best regards T. Cressingham

Buyer beware.
Awful from start to finish and could not wait to get out. Room not clean. Bin not emptied. Linen old dated and tired. Place smelt of very old cooking oil. Front door was NOT the front door - you’ve got to hate that Write up and images on site DO NOT reflect what you’re subjected to.

Dear Ms Ann I am so sorry to see you didn't enjoy your stay with us. We do work very hard to give our Guests a good experience so I am frustrated to see you weren't happy and will pass on your comments to my housekeeper. I am not sure about the "front door" which is only locked through the night but you are provided with an alternative exit/entrance during that time. I hope the rest of your trip to England was better for you. Very best regards Tina - Andel Lodge

Gruff and unfriendly reception upon arrival. Room above dining room extremely noisy, after 1.5hrs or continual banging was forced to go down and ask it to stop or refund and check out. Very dated and in need of some re-decoration.

LOVELY SHORT STAY!
Enjoyed thoroughly our stay at the Andel Lodge. The staff are very friendly and helpful - i.e. it's a 2-storey building with no lift but our luggage we delivered to our room upstairs which was much appreciated.The 300 year old building has been sensitively restored to a high standard and has been furnished beautifully! So many lovely things to admire! All our meals were cooked to perfection and were delicious as well as reasonably priced. There is also plenty of free, safe on site parking. The gardens/grounds need a bit of TLC but I guess this is a seasonal thing and will be taken care of in due course! Overall, loved our stay.

Family run friendly hotel that's a little dated
Family run lodge/hotel on a fairly busy street - though we were in one of the front rooms right on the road. The couple running the hotel are friendly but still leave you your space. The interior is a little dated, though the rooms were remodelled maybe 15-20 years ago. The room we had was a twin, nice and big with a desk and wardrobe. The bathroom is also big and the bath lovely, they even provide full size bath products, though it's an old building and the floor has dips and crests. The wifi in the room was a little spotty but worked ok downstairs. We were only stopping for the night on a road trip so we didn't eat there though they do have a restaurant that does dinner and breakfast. There is a beer garden with room for kids to run around so would probably be a good place for a family to stay too.

Thank you for leaving feed back following your stay. We must admit we are confused by your review, having asked you multiple times if everything was to your liking during your stay and also again when you telephoned after you checked out, enquiring about lost property. On all occasions you replied that you enjoyed your stay and was happy. We are saddened that you didn't come to us direct as we could have moved you to another room. We have had our maintenance team address the issues you pointed out and thank you for bringing them to our attention.
