    We stayed at The Old Rectory for 3 nights ahead of a party for my mothers 90th Birthday. We were welcomed as soon as we arrived. Staff were all very friendly and accommodating. The Breakfast was obviously locally sourced and was delicious. The bed was huge. And the room was clean and had its own thermostatic heating, something that you dont always get in Hotels. Mothers birthday was well run the buffet was very tasty, they made special platters for the gluten free members in our group. The sausage rolls were the most tasty meaty sausage rolls Ive ever had. Which their own Chef made fresh that day. I would recommend this hotel for value for money and the location which was on the main road but set back looking out over the gardens and courtyard. We didn't have any issues with noise it was a really quiet room.

    Leaving ! my partner and I would have stayed longer if we could have definitely will be staying again at some point.

    The Room was clean, Water pressure was great, Water was really hot which I loved but might be a bit too hot if you had kids (they did warn me at the front desk though). The Breakfast was outstanding as was the room service food we ordered from the kitchen. Everything felt very homely. Wifi was good. Staff all really lovely and happy to help. Cute little bar to get drinks. The place needs a bit of an update but for the price you cant ask for more. Clean, warm, homely. Overall I would definitely stay there again.

    Nothing was bad at all really but just stuff to note. We had a king room which had 2 twins together which was fine. My side was great and the mattress firm, my partners side was overly soft and felt a bit saggy so he didn't have the best night sleep. Didnt effect me though haha :-). The place hasn't been updated for a while so the TV in the room is old and analogue so very small but usable and worked. We just used my laptop to watch a film on instead as the wifi is good however there are no plug sockets near the bed so when my laptop ran out of battery we had to stop the film until I could charge it across the room.

    Good quality room. There for a charity meal function. Special mention for the food - really good. The catering was well above expectations.

    Not a lot. Really enjoyed our stay.

    5NinaPosted on: 1-25-2026

    The Location is lovely

    Facilities. Needs a good update. Areas for residents very poor. Beds in our room so hard! The Lady Manager was exceptional nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast food was excellent.

    7AndrewPosted on: 12-24-2025

    Rooms were lovely, plenty of hot water,bed good

    Wasn't told there was a restricted menu which spoilt our stay a bit as we have stayed in the pastand found the food good

    10PhilipPosted on: 12-23-2025

    The hotel was very quite and welcoming. The staff provided an excellent service and nothing was to much trouble. The room was warm with a really big comfortable bed . Spare pillows and towels were available. Plenty of hot water .for showers. Followed by a most delicious breakfast.

    We trusted the sat nav and it played a joke on us, it was dark and the entrance was not so visible we were led towards a neighbour house. The coffee machine was good but the milk was bit to creamy

    9PaulinePosted on: 12-22-2025

    Location was perfect for visiting family and also access to Norwich. The breakfasts were excellent(lovely hot chocolate as well). The staff were friendly and easy going. Loads of parking and remarkably quiet considering it is close to main road.Loved the open door access for late night return. Would highly recommend. Now our go to place for family visits to Norfolk.

    It rained.

    10JaynePosted on: 12-22-2025

    The staff were very friendly, approachable and helpful, they offered a reduced evening menu to save us from going out, and food was lovely. Great space to park, and lovely area.

    Clean rooms, good location, not far from Norwich City Centre and the Broads

    The first room we were checked in to was very dated (think 1980s), very clean but bore no resemblance to the pictures on the website, on request, we were moved to a far nicer room in the main part of the hotel, which was what we expected.Breakfast is fine, lots of car parking but overall, the hotel just feels like it needs bringing in to the 21st century

    Great value for money, pleasant staff. Great breakfast
