Booked dinner at this hotel because they said they had multiple menu items for allergy issues! Turned out they hadnt. Really well dealt with on the night by two excellent members of staff. Rooms were better in the hotel - our 'suite' was a little tired. Breakfast and lady who served it was fantastic. An Ipswich win made the stay more enjoyable.

Helpful staff and comfortable bed. Not a bad distance from Norwich City if you fancy a walk in. Breakfast was OK but could be better. We had a wedding on the day we stayed that we were not informed of, however, music was off by 12.

This is a charming independent hotel in a convenient location for Norwich centre. As with all hotels of its ilk it does not have the funding provided by the conglomerates but the plus side is its individuality and character. The staff were really good
