Nice hotel, decent sized rooms & friendly staff.

Alex United Kingdom

It was a short notice booking and the hotel was available at a very good price for a Sunday night. The staff were excellent, the room was basic but i wasn't asking for anymore. I would stay there again without hesitation.

Julian Netherlands

we were attending a car race meeting at snetterton

Paul United Kingdom

Friendly staff. Comfy, clean room. Wonderful log fire in the bar which was lovely to sit in front of with a bevvy on a chilly autumn evening. We had an evening meal both nights we stayed and both nights it was excellent. Walking distant into the town.

Paul United Kingdom

Room was large and very comfortable and the food was delicious.

Teresa United Kingdom

The atmosphere of the hotel was calm and peaceful. We were warmly welcomed by Andy, a member of staff who deserves a lot of praise, and for his efforts to ensure we were comfortable and relaxed is the reason we will be coming back very soon. The family room had character and, although only 2 of us, was perfect. We had an lovely night sleep and the facilities within the room were more than expected. Amazing hotel and Andy, you are also amazing.

Kierra United Kingdom

We had our room upgraded due to low occupancy which was excellent. Micheal on the front desk was very nice, cheerful and helpful.

Stuart United Kingdom

Staff were great, breakfast was very good and the manger spent time with us at the bar (nice chap) the room was great with big open windows and the free of road parking was a bonus.

Geoff United Kingdom

Period property with character, friendly halo full staff.

Steven United Kingdom

Nice atmosphere, clean and spacious room. Good facilities (TV, Shower etc.) There was also a very nice bar. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
