We were really looking forward to staying here, and our first impression approaching the hotel was promising; a handsome, well-proportioned house set in its own well-tended grounds. First problem revealed itself when we got out of the car - a low but constant background noise of traffic. Our hearts sank a notch when we saw the room - spacious, yes, good bathroom, yes, but everything dated ( from the 1980's - a real timewarp).
Things got steadily worse with dinner - the food was fussy and extremely tasteless - just plain boring. The only bright spot was the staff - very pleasant and helpful.
Our two-night stay (dinner, B&B for two people) cost just nearly ?900 - very poor value.

The hotel is a country hotel that stands in lovely grounds and is so romantic and peaceful. It is an old fashioned hotel and as such is not gleaming, all mod cons etc. However it just exudes tranquility, quality and warmth. The staff were first class and could not have been more friendly and helpful. The food was very good and fresh.
The room was clean, good bathroom, and a lovely view.
In all seriousness a lovely hotel and it appears very well run.

Well, I was seriously impressed with this hotel, not the first i've stayed here but I have to say the staff are just delightful and quite attractive for Norfolk too, guess their not too local!
The hotels well presented inlovely grounds and the foods great too, it doesnt seem to busy which adds to the relaxing atmosphere.
Well worth a visit again and again.
Great, relaxing hotel

We were on a business trip to Norfolk. this hotel is ideally placed for Kings Lynn being just 20 mins away. It is in a gorgeous location, it is very well presented. The rooms are large, clean and very well kept. The reception rooms are great for relaxing and the staff are really lovely. The best thing about the hotel is the food! It was wonderful, really superb.
We had a really great stay and would recommend this hotel to anyone who can afford it - our only gripe was the price - it's a tad expensive at ?200 a night.

Stayed here for one lovely, relaxing night having booked B&B on lastminute. From the very first moment we felt cossetted as the staff are waiting to welcome you at the front door. Easy check in and the receptionist shows you around the hotel and to your room - all part of the service.
Pre dinner drinks by a log fire, followed by excellent food in silver service restaurant. There's a special vegetarian menu and the staff remembered to bring veggie canapes to go with the drinks. The curtains were drawn back allowing a view out to the flood lit trees in the park land outside. On return to our room, the turn down service had left a poem on the bed and topped up supplies in the bathroom.
Breakfast cooked to order again with service that was just right.
The hotel is set in lovely grounds and even in November it is a pleasure to walk around the kitchen gardens and pat the friendly horses in the adjacent paddock.
Left feeling completely chilled out. Would definitely recommend for a romantic break or special treat.
