Great stay

Overnight stay on route to Snetterton Circuit on Sunday. Stayed in the Cowshed self contained room just away from building; great facilities and quiet space away from a wedding party on the day

Great quirky pub, restaurant and hotel. Ideal for us on our way to Norwich. Have stayed before, so was looking forward to going back. Delicious food, lovely, comfy beds in fun 'cow' themed rooms. The place is spotlessly clean and the staff are wonderful. Will definitely stay there again, on our next trip to that part of the world.

Alright stay, mould in bathroom, dimly lit

Overall it was alright for an overnight stay. There were some mould on the bathroom tiles on the floor and on the wall. Some of the lights were not working so the room was dimly lit.
