This is a fantastic hotel. Every member of staff was superb, a different class from most hotels. The restaurant was the best meal we have had for a long time including a month in Florida and a month in Palm Springs. The crooked barn restaurant is a delightful setting with exposed beams and fantastic lighting. The staff were great in... More

Excellent accommodation, with food to match looking forward to visiting again soon. The hotel makes for a most relaxing getaway.The hotel is situated in a very quiet location within walking distance of the broads, with an award winning restaurant which once you have tried you will definatly want to visit again.

The ambience of the hotel is lovely, the staff delightful, the restaurant in the converted barn is beautiful, good food although on the small portion size and... More

The weather was foggy and rainy, but this hotel is fantastic for a relaxing time. The room was in the courtyard which is brilliant when you have an old dog.
