Booked to stay here for two nights travelling for placement, absolutely loved my stay here. Plenty of parking available on site. On arrival I went to check in, inside the main pub/restaurant area. What an absolutely beautiful place, very warm at home feel. I was greeted by a lovely lady at check in who was so kind, caring and helpful. She checked me in, explained everything to me, showed me to my room and explained everything inside. Before booking and after booking i was made aware that the single bedroom was small, they were very up front and honest regarding this. When I got there, the room was a perfect size just for one person. The bathroom was a nice size too. The room was beautiful, clean and tidy. There was a welcome book, a posh coffee machine with a selection of pods and complementary water. The bathroom was well equipped with fluffy white towels that smelt lovely! Hand soap and moisturiser, body wash/shampoo, and small jars beneath the basin containing cotton buds and cotton wool. The bed was lovely and comfortable and I slept really well! Both nights I returned late, due to work so I never ate inside the restaurant (I was very kindly offered a table booking). I did meet a friend for a drink on the first night and the staff were really polite and helpful and it was a really lovely place to sit and have a drink on the sofas. We were made to feel very welcome. Although I didn’t eat, the food being brought out to other customers looked amazing, it was so busy so it’s definitely a popular place. Overall, a 5 star experience. I would really recommend this as a place to stay. Thank you!

There honestly wasn’t a single thing I didn’t like! It was perfect. Just one thing as a suggestion, a light above or next to the bathroom mirror would be beneficial for guests like myself. Just for make up purposes. If there was one and I missed it, I apologise!

One of the best places to stay in England IMO. V friendly, helpful & professional staff. Rooms really nicely equipped, laid out & furnished - plenty of space & quirky too. The food is delicious and all locally produced, which is important. They have Baron Bigod cheese as part of an excellent cheese selection. Great setting too - Bawburgh is a beautiful village a stone's throw from John Innes Centre field station

They're threatening to drop the Baron Bigod in favour of another local soft cheese. By all means add the new one, but don't drop the Baron - one of the main reasons I make the journey!

The location of this hotel is set in a quiet little village with a beautiful river running through it, it was idyllic. The staff were absolutely brilliant, they were so friendly and helpful. Our room was lovely with a big bath which was amazing and the bed was really comfortable. We sat in the garden in the sunshine in the afternoon and it was just so relaxing. We had a fantastic meal in the evening and the food was exceptional. This was the perfect choice for a romantic getaway with my partner for his birthday it was just so peaceful. The choices for breakfast were great and it was a very pleasant way to set us up for the day ahead. We spoke with the owner Anton as we were checking out and he was so welcoming and pleased that we had enjoyed our stay. It is a lovely, quirky hotel with loads of beautiful old wooden beams and we plan to return especially as we noticed several fireplaces which look like they will be very cosy on a cold winter's day!

We really couldn't find anything not to like about this beautiful hotel.

located in a small village opposite a stream, great access to Norwich but in the country. We were cycling the Rebellion Way so the location worked for us as we had cars. great access and parking. our apartment was in an annexe and had 2 double rooms and huge living/ kitchen area. everything was clean, well maintained, good kitchen if you want to self-cater. staff very helpful before (asking questions about parking etc) and during stay. We arrived late and just got in before kitchen closed - food was good and tasty - we had fish and chips and special dessert. generally great value. they offer a breakfast menu so you pay only for what you order - menu covered everything from croissants to full English , eggs any way and avocado on toast with poached eggs. huge portions!

nothing to say here. staff really considerate and thoughtful!

We did not have breakfast, as I had a very early appointment for surgery. The location is so lovely and unspoilt. The staff were excellent. The food was tasty and presented well. The whole atmosphere had a really lovely vibe.

I cannot really say there was anything I did not like. Being an extremely old building, my husband found the height of the roof near the toilet a 'bit of a challange' but hey, they had to fit everything in the bathroom, and the roof was build before the indoor plumbing!

We loved the original old building on the green in Bawburgh overlooking the river Yare. The staff were welcoming and friendly and could not do enough to help us. The food was excellent throughout our four night stay.

The lighting in the bedroom was too dim. Brighter lights by the bed would have been useful for reading.

Apartment was lovely - very comfortable. It was well decorated, the kitchen was kitted out with everything we needed, and it was warm too! The beds were incredibly soft, and everything was well thought through.

It was a little walk to the car park (there was access, but it was quite narrow and I didn't want to risk it most days). Apart from that, anything would be super nit-picky - required only because booking.com want to certain length!

Lovely ambience with genuine original features (beams) and modern fittings in line with the surroundings. Service was friendly and efficient, Food was well presented and very well prepared. Menu was varied with good options. We enjoyed both our evening meal and breakfast.

The stairway to our upstairs room could use a handrail.

High end furnishings, had a lovely luxurious feel. Very spacious, bedrooms and living room fabulous. Adjustable heating in the apartment. Beds were very comfortable, lots of pillows, cushions and throws. Staff doing check in were very warm and friendly, knowledgeable on the area. Offered meal bookings. Great location for showground and good for journey into Norwich.

Bathroom shower needs an upgrade.

Apartment One is perfectly laid out, spacious and bright, everything you needed was there. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the beds amazing (having spent almost 36 hrs in one due to the heat, I can assure you they are superb!) Despite being on a road it was very quiet at night, making sleeping easy. The whole apartment was exceptionally clean - credit to the wonderful housekeeping ladies who worked tirelessly on the hottest days of the year (Thank you, Ladies). The Kings Head 'Pub/Restaurant' has the most polite and helpful staff. The chefs are exceptional, the food was delicious, they even prepared a 'Take Away' meal for one of our party who was not well enough to go to the restaurant - the food was piping hot allowing us to pop it to the apartment, upon returning our food was then served - perfect timing. The apartment is situated a 2-minute walk across the car park. (Thank you Chefs and waiting staff) Highly recommend the restaurant and the accommodation - we will definitely return!
