A really lovely hotel in a quiet village outside Norwich City. The hotel was Easy to find and communication from the hotel in the days prior to my booking were clear and easy to understand. I stayed in the Africa room - The bed was big and comfortable with both freestanding bath and separate shower. I popped over to the pub over the road for my evening meal and enjoyed a delicious sausage roll and coffee from the bakery located within the hotel. I would definitely stay here again.

What a lovely stay, we stayed in the print room which was the perfect size, very homely and welcoming, overlooking the market square. Communication with The Dial House Team was via WhatsApp, they responded straight away and were always happy to help. The location is perfect being 30 minutes drive from some great sights. Breakfast was lovely, huge croissants. Honestly can’t fault anything. I’d definitely recommend and would love to stay again, I want to try one of the other rooms as they’re all themed differently.

Room was clean and had great quality beds, furnitures and facilities. The staff has helped me with all the information needed to have a great stay. I would surely recommend it.

The room was lovely but as a solo traveller it was not ideal as the venue is unmanned so I did not feel 100% safe. There is not amenities so if you want to be left alone it is brilliant. The parking at the front is fine as long as you leave by 9.30am which worked for me.

The room, facilities were fantastic. The little touches, Norfolk Natural Living….. bubble bath, shower gel and shampoo with conditioner, added to the quality of our stay! Bread source breakfast was delicious! Home made bread source biscuits with their amazing coffee in the room was lovely to have on arrival and again first thing in the morning. Highly recommend, everything was as advertised.

Little gem in Norfolk

Incredible hidden gem of a hotel. Modern and unique with a zero staff check-in policy using digital keypads to access the rooms. Having breakfast included at the bakery downstairs was a real treat each morning! Fab location, the pub across the road is super too and hold a must visit quiz night!

Exceptional hotel in every way 👌

The hotel surpassed our expectations, so beautifully decorated and furnished everywhere. We spent 2 nights in the Raj suite which was perfect in every way with so many little touches that make a big difference. The bed was huge and so so comfortable, the bath was a treat and the shower was incredible. On top of all that the staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we would like and gave a natural friendly service 😊

Fabulous building and beautiful bedroom with lovely bathroom. Great decor throughout. The free beer or cocktail is a lovely touch. The only downside was our room was at the front of the hotel and we were woken by the constant slamming of the front door and people talking loudly outside early in the morning!

Very Nice but could be better!!

Lovely stay overall. We stayed in the Africa room which was really nice and comfortable. It appears that the dial House is undergoing alterations but no info as to what's happening. Downstairs seating area was functional but nowhere near as nice and quirky as the last time I visited. Bread Source bakery served lovely pastries and coffees. My only negative would be that 2 tea bags is not enough for a days stay and instant coffee would also be a welcome addition.

I feel that the stay was overpriced even though it was described as ‘Bread & Breakfast’. Beautiful rooms but they are clearly wanting to have minimal staff thus you get the feel of no service. Croissants and pastries and drinks to the value of £10 is not a good breakfast, even the offer of some fruit, granola, yogurt or milk would be an improvement. Disappointed compared with previous stays.
