Great country in offering comfortable rooms and good menu. We stayed 3 times with our Terrier and will keep returning. Staff friendly and make humans and pooches to feel at home. Super chef who did not mind to cook a special steak for Jasper the Parson! Thank you all. Strongly recommend!

We stayed from 10th to 14th October 25. Stayed with husband and dog in ground floor room with no garden first night. Moved to ground floor room with garden for next two nights. Both rooms splendid and well thought out. Staff so friendly and helpful with nothing too much trouble attitude. Ate breakfast and evening meals food is outstanding and delicious. The garden is lovely to sit out. Even bowls of water to help yourself. Will definitely be returning.

Had a night here whilst visiting the Luminate Display at Sandringham. We had a lovely room on the courtyard, nicely decorated with some additional Christmas decorations. Nice selection of coffee and tea, plus a coffee pod machine. The bed was comfortable, the room warm and a very nice bathroom with toiletries provided . Breakfast was lovely and the staff seemed very nice. We would definitely return for longer as we love this particular area of Norfolk.
