    It was an excellent fit for a weekend getaway in Fakenham with value for money. The hot shower was fantastic after a long day. Remember to take advantage of the well-cooked breakfast for a great start to the day!

    Exceptional Staff and Cozy Atmosphere

    Had a lovely stay recently with incredibly friendly staff who went out of their way to personalize our experience. The breakfast was hearty and fresh, with plenty of options. The room provided a calming view of the river, enhancing the overall ambiance. the decor could use some updating to match the warm hospitality.

    friendly staff

    Target audience aware travelers

    So, I was there for a couple of nights and guess what? The breakfast was really good! Like, you wake up and there’s this hot cooked breakfast waiting for you, every bite was perfect. And the staff? They were super friendly and helpful, it felt like I was talking to old pals.

    It wasn’t exactly a bargain, but it was still acceptable.

    great access to local strolls and parks during my stay

    My recent stay was made enjoyable by the hotel's friendly staff and its proximity to local attractions like the Fakenham Museum of Gas and Local History, just a short walk away, as well as the beautiful Wensum Way, perfect for leisurely walks alongside the river.

    Sweet staff but stuffy stay

    The staff were super friendly, really made me feel welcome! Stayed in a twin room that had a skylight instead of a real window. Felt kind of like a dungeon tbh. It was hot and bugs got in because the window was hard to close. Free parking was a plus, and wifi was solid. The restaurant had decent food too!

    would love to come back

    The room had a comfy bed, flat-screen TV, and a private bathroom with free toiletries. A kettle for tea/coffee was also provided, along with bottled water and nice snacks. There’s a nice seating area too. The check-in was smooth, and the staff were super helpful throughout the stay. The atmosphere was very relaxed.

    pleasant receptionist
    acceptable breakfast
    shabby decor
    dated room
    high price

    We recently stayed in a double room for one night and were quite surprised by the shabby and dated decor, especially for the price we paid. Although the room was clean, it desperately needs upgrading. Breakfast was decent, and the receptionist was notably pleasant, which added a small positive touch to our visit. we will be looking for better options if we're in the area again.

    cozy room
    helpful amenities
    relaxing pool
    dated furniture

    The room was cozy and the hot shower was perfect after a long day. The coffee and biscuits kept coming, which was a nice touch. I loved relaxing by the pool and enjoying a good book in the lounge area. Just a heads up, the furniture could use a little updating, but honestly, it didn’t take away from the great experience! 😊

    A Night to Forget

    Our stay started well with a friendly reception, but the cold room ruined our experience. Even after consulting staff, we were left with a fan heater and no warmth. Better options available nearby. Don’t risk a chilly night here.
