From the moment we arrived we were made very welcome by all the staff
The Hotel is beautiful with original features etc
It has a bowling green at the rear & ample parking
We had rooms that were across from the main hotel which suited us 4 ladies as none of us are under 60 yrs ,( oldest being 82 yrs ) so not having a flight of stairs to climb was fantastic
We had our own entrance to our rooms so having another door you could lock was very reassuring ( room no.11&12 )
The beds were very comfy & the rooms were well heated & roomy
The showers were extra large with lovely soft towels
The welcome tea tray was well stocked & they also left biscuits which was an extra little touch
They had thought of everything you could possibly need
We had continental breakfast the next morning with ham, cheese’s , boiled eggs, toast, cereals, muffins, fresh fruit & yoghurt (weekday is continental £7.50 weekends all the above plus a cooked breakfast choice £10.50 )
We did not have an evening meal or use the bar as we were on the Polar express experience at 6pm
Lovely Hotel we shall be returning in the future as we go to North Norfolk frequently
We spent the next morning shopping in Dereham town centre which we had never visited before very charming & some lovely individual shops
10/10 from all of us

We stayed on 9th Sept 2024. The room was as advertised with a spacious king size bed, everything was clean and neat. The late afternoon started with a few cask ales, all in good condition. My wife enjoyed her G&Ts.
What made it special was a combination of the interactions from the staff; engaging, helpful, courteous and at times a respectful witty banter.
The 'cherry on the cake' was the food, absolutely marvellous. The homemade pate was spot on it had a smooth and creamy texture with a wonderful flavour and the steaks were cooked to perfection (rare). Of course we had to have dessert to help soak up the wine, a nice reserva Rioja, it all rounded off a very pleasant evening before we succumbed to the comfort of a lovely king size bed with cosy bed linen.
We opted for a continental breakfast, which offered plenty of choice to set us up for the day ahead.

Excellent dinner. Spacious room.Friendly service.
Stairs quite steep, not sure if there’s a lift?
Breakfast was average.

We were well looked after by friendly personnel. Property is a little tired in places butdies not detract from a pleasant stay.

We had a fantastic stay. Big comfortable bed. Outstanding breakfast with really helpful staff. Only downside was a very used ashtray on the ground in the communal entryway we shared with our neighbours. Clearly hadn’t been emptied in a while. Although this is better than cigarette butts on the floor. Just not pleasant to see.

Nothing ok for reasons I chose it.

Friendly staff.The room was large and well furnished with a very large comfortable bed. The bathroom was clean. Being an old property, there were some cobwebs. Teh wifi was not good for us. The hotel is at a road junction with some traffic noise. Friday night was live music downstairs until 11.45 and then activity until 2.00am - ask about it in advance if you are a light sleeper.

Absolutely beautiful property that resides in the quiet and tranquil area of North Elmham.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by the front of house staff member who was very pleasant, polite and helpful.
We went up to our room, which upon opening the door, we were amazed at just how big the room was. Super king-sized bed and all the furniture made from solid wood. The bathroom was exceptionally spacious also.
The bed was comfy, there were plenty of facilities (ironing board, iron, soap, body wash, tea & coffee, kettle, mirrors, hair dryer, fan etc), really quiet location, pleasant staff, clean, great food, all at a fantastic price. A well deserved 5 stars all round from me.

We were a group of 4 cyclists touring Norfolk and this is a truly excellent place to stay. The staff were friendly and helpful, the food was very good - not pub food by any standards! - and the beer was also top notch. Highly recommended.

It was a lovely comfortable room with a very helpful host, however the breakfast was very disappointing as it was only Continental, and there was a lot of work being done in and outside the hotel when we arrived and dust was in the air inside reception. This stay was missing a cooked breakfast!!
2.0
Stayed here a few times over the past few years but this time had a different feel to it the room 14 when I walked in had a very musty smell that was coming from the bathroom and had To have the bathroom light on to run the extractor fan to help clear the smell also soundproofing between us and the next room wasn’t the best. Lots of locals in the bar and I felt like a bit of an intruder. The Continental breakfast they offered for £7.50 didn’t seem worth it. No hot Breakfast during the week

My second time staying here . Very nice rooms and food is amazing . Staff super friendly
2.5
We stayed for one night, check in was ok and we were given an appointment time of 08:45 for breakfast, the room was large, clean and comfortable with all you need, on the landing irons and boards were available. The decor in the bar was very dark and dimly lit, the service was good, the food was fabulous, we had a very comfortable sleep, waking to lovely hot shower, arriving at breakfast we were told we were late and should have been there at 08:15, this happened to other guests too, the breakfast was very good, the decor in the dining room was also very dark. I would return again, the food is fantastic and value for money.

Spent two nights at the Kings Head and enjoyed most things. Room could do with more coat pegs/hangers (in the absence of a wardrobe). Really quiet location. Ate there one evening. Liz and Ross work their socks off with the bar and restaurant, which was rather dimly lit for my taste but food very tasty. Plenty of parking.

Good value for money, with great food and lovely rooms! 25 minutes from the coast.

Lovely clean large bedroom with en-suite shower. The bed was so comfortable, just the thing after a day of walking.
All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The dinner, and breakfast in the morning, were both excellent.
The location was perfect to reach most of the coastline within half an hour.

We had a fantastic stay! All staff were friendly and helpful. We had a really good breakfast and an evening meal in the restaurant which was outstanding. The room was large and very comfortable. We were overlooking the beer garden which was very nice and tidy. Lots of benches and a play area. We would love to stay here again and recommend it to family and friends.

The room I got was very clean and spacious; I asked for a room for 3 (double bed and a single bed). The bathroom was clean. I will book and stay in the same room again.
