Old coaching inn

Lovely old coaching inn. We had a large room. The bed was a four poster. The mattress was extremely soft. Too soft for me. It felt a bit like a water bed. We only ate breakfast at the Ram. The food was very nice but service a bit slow. It's a lovely place. Full of character and history.

Lovely charismatic inn with delicious grub!

Outstanding place. Very rustic, delicious food, great sevice and immaculate accommodation. The only downside is the noise of the traffic when you are staying in the roof rooms as there is little sound insulation. Take earplugs and you will sleep soundly!

The staff are amazing and the food in the bar is lovely. I stayed in room 3 and the noise from the road is terrible. The noise doesn’t stop all night. The shower has a wooden frame running through it. It’s covered in cob webs and the room was also not cleaned and covered in cob webs. Unfortunately due to the cleanness of the room and the noise I wouldn’t stop there again. Though I would definitely eat there again. Shame as it has potential to be a lovely place to stop.

Highly disappointed

Our recent stay at the Ram was regrettable, we felt compelled to share our experience due to the lack of professionalism and care shown during our visit, Reception closed at 9:30pm, check in was via key safe.Something we were only made aware of after proactively calling to advise of our late arrival, a courtesy message in advance would’ve been appreciated.Breakfast was equally disappointing. Unfriendly and unwelcoming staff, not even a smile then questioned why 3 guests occupied a triple room,despite our booking for 2 adults and a teen. On checkout, they attempted to charge for a 3rd person, citing the king size bed was only intended for 1 guest, an unusual & frankly unreasonable assertion for a triple room booking.There was a noticeable absence of basic customer service throughout our stay. The situation was handled poorly with no effort made to listen, apologise, or any form of resolution.The room itself left a little to be desired, dirty mug and traffic noise on the main road disturbed our sleep. Breakfast was mixed, the full English was well cooked the egg Benedict however was overdone and lacked flavour, this remained uneaten yet no one inquired why at the table or at checkout. Had the staff shown even a degree of friendliness or care, we wouldn’t be leaving this review. Sadly, they’re unprofessional and indifferent approach left a sour taste, literally and we would choose not to return.

1 night stay

Stayed in room 1, bed was a little hard for me. Also radiator in bathroom was permanently on and couldn’t switch off!! Not ideal when the temperature outside is 25 degrees. Food was nice but it was an empty restaurant with 2 dinners at the time, which they put us both in the corner next to each other. Felt a bit intrusive.

Comfortable and clean, but needs a little tlc.

Perfectly comfortable and clean, with friendly service. However the rooms are very dated and tired. Ideal stop if all you need is somewhere to lay your head. Take your own hairdryer and toiletries.

Our third stay at the Old Ram and, as before, we found the staff friendly and welcoming. The meals we had in the restaurant were delicious and the staff were attentive to our needs. The Old Ram is an ideal place to stay for a visit to Norwich and the surrounding area.
