Catton Old Hall  

It is not a hotel. It is a bed and breakfast apartments. It is not a hotel!!! There is not a reception and after 8 oclock there in no one to welcome you. 2) No heating at all in the rooms 3) Breakfast is served only from 8 till 9 o'clock. Breakfast is poor and specified from the previous night filling a form!!! 4)after 8 in the evening no one is available (no staff) to help you if you need anything. 5)no lifts if you have heavy lungages 6) when I tried to leave from the Catton “hotel” the 2nd day (I had already stayed for the 1st night) they charged me one more night as a penalty so I paid 180 pounds for 1 night!! Bad experience! Better an original hotel!

The room, ensuite and bed were excellent. Breakfast was lovely with plenty of choice. Location for our purposes was good.

Too many instructions with consequences. Felt as though we were in school with all the rules. Very squeaky floorboards above our bedroom. Were woken up by them. Host rather up tight - needs to relax a bit more!

Conveniant for city visiting. Quiet and off the beaten track but close to airport and shopping. Welcoming hostess who was happy to make sure our stay was comfortable.

Catton Old Hall was a lovely quiet rest byte, full of charm and little quirks, the food was of a very good standard and the honesty bar is a thing you don't see much of, but saying that it proves that there are some honest poeple still about who have faith in others, little books that were dotted about the hall were something to make you stop and take notice of, the peace and quiet of the hall and garden made for a refreshing time just to catch your thoughts.

Felt slightly uneasy to start with, but that soon passed, the hall looked beautiful and gave off a certain charm, but only if you don,t look to hard, stanards are standards and should be kept,

The accomodation at Catton Old Hall is excellent. The hotel is very well run and cannot be faulted. Nothing is too much trouble for the owners. The bedrooms are large and everything is clean and well presented. I would rate the accomodation above many 4/5 star hotels. The hotel is situated on the outskirts of Norwich and there are public houses and restaurants nearby for an evening meal. There is a frequent bus service into Norwich just across the road, £3.90 return. Norwich Castle qualifies as the best kept secret for its museum. Inside take time to explore the wildlife exhibits and the paintings.

The building and furnishings were characterful and comfortable.

Although the breakfust ingredients were tasty and of high quality, we found the cooked breakfast quite greasy.

This Unique C17th building offered a quiet retreat from city bustle and yet had excellent bus service into Norwich right outside it's gates.Excellent breakfasts,comfortable room and pleasant old-world character.Owners add nice touches to your stay which make it a better experience than the standard hotel and guest house accommodation.The property is outside the inner-ring road of Norwich and could be a good base for touring the Norfolk broads and countryside.

Little to dislike about this property.Definately not for children or people who find it difficult climbing stairs.

Luxurious en-suite bathroom. Excellent breakfast options with locally sourced produce.

Would have liked better lighting in sitting area for reading.

We thought it was very 'home from home', very easy to settle in a feel comfortable. We loved the original, authentic features. The breakfast was of excellent quality.

The room I stayed in was called 'Sewell' as in Ann Sewell (of Black Beauty fame) and it was as near perfect for me as it is possible to get. I really enjoyed my stay.

Sadly, I have to say I would heve to consider carefully before staying again because there was no facility for evening meal in the Hall. Going out would probably involve booking a table which you might not be able to do on short notice.

Close to city. Cleanliness. Room Facilities. English breakfast.

A lovley hotel in a good but quite location , excelent room and food 5 star

Lovely historical building dating back to the 1600s. With that comes lots of quirky characteristics, uneven stairs, oak beams and squeeky floorboards but no ghosts!! Food was delicious, well presented and hygenic, with plenty of choice.
