We liked the whole atmosphere of the area. In a small triangle we had The Maids Head Hotel, The Edith Cavell and La Tasca not to mention a whole range of places we didn't stumble out off..... It was a sunny weekend and it was all good.

Beatiful setting, adjacent to Norwich's norman Cathedral, in the heart of the city, lots of restaurants, catering for every taste, close to the city nightlife, if you fancy partying into the small hours.
