7.0/10

The hotel offers convenient ground floor rooms close to reception and dining, but could improve cleanliness and amenities for the price paid. Service is mixed, with some staff going above and beyond while others lack expertise. The location is ideal for exploring Norwich and the countryside, with pleasant gardens and proximity to key attractions. The dining presentation is impressive, although the menu could be more diverse. Overall, a stay with both positive and negative aspects.

Rooms

6.0

The rooms could have been cleaner and felt a bit damp. The towels weren't changed, and amenities like coffee and tea were not replaced. The pricing seemed higher for the quality provided, and the decor felt a little dated.

Service

7.0

The service was a mix of experiences. Some staff members were accommodating, like the one who prepared a special dressing upon request and brought dinner to the room. However, there were instances where the staff seemed unsure or inexperienced, such as the issue with the bar seating after dinner.

Location

8.0

The location is great for enjoying the outdoors on warm days and offers a rural feel despite being a short drive from Norwich. The proximity to the airport and Wroxham Broads is convenient, and the gardens enhance the overall atmosphere.

The dining experience was mixed. While the presentation was excellent, the early closing time on Sundays was inconvenient.

I stumbled upon a fantastic find at this hotel for £100, including breakfast, which was around A$160 per night. The rooms in the outside annex didn't have enough soundproofing and felt a bit tired, but the overall value was undeniable.

Rooms

The room I stayed in was in the outside annex and felt a bit tired and old-fashioned. However, considering the price and the breakfast included, it was a fantastic find.

Service

The staff, though friendly, seemed a bit rushed off their feet. They did help me out and even made sure my family members in separate rooms were seated together for breakfast, which was a thoughtful gesture.

The hotel had a bit of a slow start with the room being cold initially until it warmed up, same with the bed, but overall it was comfortable and perfect for our group of four. The breakfast room offered freshly cooked meals and the highlight was turning into a dance floor with a great DJ. The bar lacked comfortable seating but on the plus side, the location was convenient for a relaxing stay and the service was outstanding.
