The hosts were wonderful, couldn't be more helpful. The room was compact but more than enough, and both clean and well equipped. Breakfast was perfect, and kept me going most of the day. Would definitely stay again.
United KingdomGreat location near Snetterton, friendly hosts and a good breakfast. No frills B&B experience.
United KingdomThe Elms exceeded our expectations. The room was lovely with the most comfortable bed , had an amazingly good nights sleep. Breakfast was perfect and hosts were so lovely, even offered to drive us to our nearby Wedding reception venue. Definitely recommend this B&B
United KingdomThe breakfasts at the Elms are always exceptional. The location is perfect for when I visit Snetteton.
United KingdomJulia & Alan could not have been more welcoming and hospitable. I was travelling alone to attend a funeral and their friendliness and warmth really helped me. My single room was small but perfect - so cosy and it had everything I needed, including a little en suite shower room. Breakfasts were delicious (including vegetarian sausages which you still don't get everywhere!) There's a separate B&B entrance, guests have keys to their individual rooms and you come & go as you please. There's a pleasant lounge/dining room. I will be back in happier times!
United KingdomHosts were very approachable & friendly, location was good and a short walk to the pub for good food.
