Beautiful Norfolk Great Location, nr the Lotus Track

We needed a place near to the lotus track as we had an early start and being 4 minutes away the location was perfect and the food was simple good portions, a large room clean with a kettle and water. We left too early for breakfast some of our friends had the option at other locations for a take away breakfast which would have been brilliant.

We didn't manage to get the AC working but we didn't ask for help on this as Im sure the staff would have helped.

Clean and friendly, with excellent food.

I stayed here overnight for a day at the Lotus Cars factory the next day. I didn't get a chance to have breakfast because I had to leave very early, but when I needed lunch the following day and had an excellent meal. Overall, the cleanliness of the room and the friendliness of the staff were excellent, and I won't even bother looking for anywhere else to stay next time I come back to the area.

Nice place, really clean, lovely rooms but let down by small things that made a huge difference to our experience.

Good sized room, clean, fresh, all-maintained and attractively decorated. Tea and coffee, iron and hairdryer

Weekday breakfast didn’t start until 8am, too late for us and I’m sure many business guests. Caused us a lot of inconvenience. The bedrooms have green lights showing where the exit is, however this light illuminated the room like a child’s night light making it difficult to sleep. Finally, there was a hum from outside perhaps an air conditioning which went on all night. So, it wasn’t the peaceful night we had expected. Staff were polite and friendly but no sense of going the extra mile.

Lovely stay

Great for a one night stay. Friendly and helpful staff, would stay again if in the area. Delicious evening meal.

Bed smaller than we’re used to and a little harder but fine for the one night.

excellent food - very good room but let down by bathroom issues. BIGGEST ISSUE WAS THE ADJACRNT REFTIGERATION UNIT WHICH

Very nice room - although bathroom was in need of a thorough clean (some pink & black mould needed easy attention which was disappointing).

Bathroom needs thorough cleaning re mould issues.

Excellent introduction to Norfolk hospitality

Massive room, great food, good selection of drinks. Like any pub with good food the foodies descend but service was good. The bacon and black pudding is fabulous...

Breakfast service, not enough staff and served warm food not hot, think plates waited in kitchen too long Telly is to small for size of room.
