Wonderful

A lovely hotel with character situated in the centre of Norwich, a stones throw from the cathedral, Elm Hill and numerous restaurants, pubs and coffee shops.
A bonus is electric car chargers in the car park (£10 overnight plus £5 for charging - good value).
Excellent location. Even though the hotel was full on a summer weekend, the staff were very pleasant and helpful. The car parking was very good. Very nice complimentary Bentley experience. A great base for a very enjoyable weekend.
Lovely hotel in the charming heart of the city.
The suite was lovely, the breakfast amazing, and the whole vibe in general was just spot on. Highly recommended!
Excellent position, with cathedral, shops, bars and restaurants nearby.
The ride around in the vintage Bentley was excellent.
The room was very comfortable, with excellent air con for the very hot weather.
Restaurant comfortable with good choice.
Staff friendly and helpful, we will return.
An historic hotel situated close to the cathedral. The public rooms are very well appointed and the staff were helpful. My room on the 4th floor was comfortable, thought the bathroom was rather small. The hotel served an acceptable cooked breakfast.
The breakfast buffet was great! Staff were very helpful whenever I asked for anything. The hotel was in a great location, easy to walk to the City Centre, and historic areas of Norwich. Also enjoyed a drink in the Maids Head Bar, which was a cute little place. We enjoyed our stay - thank you!
A beautiful hotel with extremely warm and friendly staff. One of the best breakfasts too wih delicious vegan sausages and gluten free options.
We will be back!
