The staff here were amazing- polite and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was delicious although my daughter didn’t get what she’d ordered (we didn’t have the heart to say so due to how nice they were). The room was well equipped and we even found a fan in the wardrobe which was a lifesaver due to the extreme heart wave during our stay. Having parking at the Inn was also a much added bonus as it’s just across a roundabout from the city centre so parked and walked for a day exploring and browsing without the worry of where to drive or park.

Andrea United Kingdom

Breakfast was substantial and very good. Prepared, cooked, and presented by Ben. Great start to the day.

Thomas United Kingdom

Everything was good, room very comfy, bathroom nice, the only thing we missed was a little fridge there and not enough programs in TV. Otherwise everything was perfectly fine.

Andrea United Kingdom

Staff helpful and accomodating. Room clean and comfortable. Cooked breakfast good, freshly & quickly served. Parking reservation good. Location good for city centre.

Moira United Kingdom

Staff were very pleasant. On arrival parked in the carpark .but didn't realise staff had put cones out for guesses who ticked the box when booking .brilliant serves and breakfast was excellent. Only a little walk and your in the middle of the shops

Stuart United Kingdom

Staff brilliant. Good decore and room.Breakfast really good and overall good value for money. Relaxing stay and will be back when next in area. Close to town centre with benefit of on site parking.

Steven United Kingdom

Room was large and very clean. Breakfast was your standard full English which was good. Location was excellent and the parking was very good as long as you are a confident you will have know problems as the hosts keep you a space.

Edward United Kingdom

Great location - 5 minutes walk to the city centre. Fabulous room, cleaned and bedding changed every day. Patron was lovely, very polite and helpful. Full English breakfast every day, well cooked and good quality. Car park space was reserved for us. Good centre location for The Broads (20 mins drive) and the beaches (40 mins drive). Would definitely recommend to others.

Trude United Kingdom

The breakfast choice was limited but good. I think it could be improved by offering a choice of cereals and a lighter option as well as the full english.

Peter United Kingdom

the location was excellent , the bus station was just over the road making it easy to get around.
