Appeared to have recently changed ownership or management, not quite in their groove. Bedroom window latch wouldn't shut & they laid out breakfast right next to us whilst we were eating our dinner in the restaurant. Staff were mainly young but friendly.

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.

A genuine English coach stop, built 1600-ish! Some modern features (like private baths) but the charm of Old English accommodations!

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.
