Upon arrival, the hotel was incredible, parking was easy, we was ealry to check in, however, we were made comfortable at the bar to unwind with some drinks prior. The garden was lovely, the spa facilities was beyond expectation, more so, the beer spa which we booked in for, was amazing. The staff were incredibly helpful and approachable, the food was outstanding, the best 3 course meal we've ever had. A massive thank you to the staff for accommodating my needs regarding proposing to my wife to be! Fantastic ring, its had nothijg but high praise by all that have seen it (including fiancé) We will definitely be back next year but for a longer period of time for sure, this place will always have a special place in our hearts. Thank you Nat & Luke

Perfect

We stayed in the sea beat room/lodge it was spacious but cosy, perfect and would recommend. The hotel itself was beautiful, we didn't have dinner but had drinks in the bar served by the absolutely outstanding Lisa who seemed to be everywhere and couldn't do enough for us which made the stay even more special. Service is everything along with comfort of course and we would definitely return!

Serena

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Our room (sea beet) was lovely but I found some areas of the hotel a bit tired and not the cleanest. We arrived and had lunch in the restaurant. The floors were dusty, with cobwebs in all corners. There were large flies trapped in the room which were constantly flying around us and off putting and overall just a bit underwhelming. It definitely isn’t as polished as the website/brochure make out. The outside grounds are also not great. Food is ok but again nothing to rave about. My daughter ordered the dippy eggs and soldiers for breakfast, both came completed hard boiled. Overall ok but I wouldn’t rush to return

Good location for a boutique hotel Sadly, heating went off so we had to move rooms and was given a heater overnight which was not great as it had to be on all night and was noisy. Rooms looking a bit tired, but the place is old so to be expected. Food was okay but pricey for what we had in the restaurant in the evening. Staff were very friendly and accommodating where possible to alleviate issues.

Birthday

Our 2 nights stay arrival - check-in was swiftly. Met & greeted by a very friendly face. Sweet Chestnut was an amazing space for us, comfortable & spacious. Dinner & breakfast service was great. Friendly/cheerful faces all the way. Now where it all went "Wrong". We went to the Spa to reserve the Presecco Spa experience. We were shocked to be told "You can book the Presecco Spa but you shall not be able to access the Spa at all as its fully booked the next day". We were told "Access to the Spa facilities has to be pre-booked despite being guests at the hotel". [We understood, your rules] Anyway... we were offered a Saturday 1pm access which was our check out day, for that we were kindly given a 12md late checkout. On the day of our check out. "Relaxing". Next thing we have a very disturbing knock at the door probably about 11am! "I am sorry you need to check out now"! I stood there confused. A quickly explained to Ellie "why is that? We do have a late 12md checkout" She upruptlely asked "Who gave you a late check out, its not possible as we have an exclusive wedding today" Despite our efforts of trying to explain the late checkout, Ellie continued to give us commands, "you have to pack & leave in the next 10mins, 30mims max, you cannot be here when the bride & thier guests arrives". Ellie told us we did not have a choice, the bride paid a lot of money £5000 for exclusivity. I told Ellie, your approach is wrong and rude.The £5000 maybe a lot to you, but not to everyone

Stay at Norfolk Mead and Spa

My wife picked this hotel after seeing a TikTok video. We both wanted a spa weekend so decided to come to Norfolk Mead. We had a great experience. All Members of staff were very pleasant and the Spa facilities were superb. Food in the restaurant was excellent, particularly breakfast. Overall we both had a very enjoyable stay.

We enjoyed a relaxing two-night stay at the Norfolk Mead and were impressed by the attention to detail and service provided. The food - at both breakfast and dinner - was delicious and there was an excellent selection of wine. Our room was quiet and comfortable, with all needs met and a very decent shower. The spa facilities were well designed and perfectly cleaned and maintained. Again, the customer service was spot on. Thank you to all the staff who made our stay so special.
