Would definitely stay again

Stayed 1 night while attending a family wedding at Hockwold Hall. We had rooms 11 & 12 made into a family room for the 4 of us. It was absolutely perfect with a separate bedroom and additional, separate toilet. Bathroom had a skylight so you could look at the stars while relaxing in the spacious bath. The venue even arranged transport for us (additional cost) to get us too and from Hockwold Hall. Breakfast was delicious.

More of a pub than hotel. Flies were everywhere, especially around food. Bedroom and bathroom didn’t feel clean. Only parking was a few spaces outside the front, so all the smokers and drinkers were squeezing past the car all night - thankfully no damage as far as I can tell.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Quality of food was excellent only spoilt by constantly swatting flies away. Parking seemed a free for all for local residents as well. No designated parking for paying guests.

Dirty, not safe, poor food.

The room I stayed in had no lock or latches on one of the windows, it was completely insecure with no way of pulling it to and securing it. The bed sheets were stained yellow from far too many uses. Most of the TV channels were unavailable. The food was less than desirable, I had a beef lasagne which had so many sheets of pasta and very little beef I had to leave more than half of it. It is not clean, not safe and my meal was awful - I never ate there the second day.

We recently enjoyed a 4 night stay at the Crown Hotel, and we could not fault it. The staff are extremely friendly and the food is excellent, from the choices of the freshly cooked breakfast to the choice, quality and portion sizes of the evening meals.

Quiet friendly hotel.

Nice room, quiet and comfortable, though a little small if sharing. Good breakfast from welcoming and friendly staff. Nice village location. Plenty of private parking, short distance from hotel and some in front.

We've stayed here before as it's handy for the Red Rooster Festival at Euston Hall. The staff are very helpful and the rooms comfortable and spotless. The breakfast priovided is excellent; very good quality ingredients. Also nice that the hotel is not far from major road network but not on a busy road. Would recommend it and would stay again.
