Excellent stay. Staff were superb along with the food and drink on offer. Maybe some healthier options would be a suggestion, plus the heating was constantly on full through the building. Money saving opportunity here. Definitely recommend.

Our suite was spotless and very comfortable. Excellent breakfast menu, we also had a family meal one evening, which was delicious. The staff were mega friendly and obliging, nothing was too much trouble. We have stayed there several times and it’s always a pleasure. The Crown is our go-to place when in Norfolk.

The Crown Hotel is in a quiet village. The name Hotel possibly leads you to believe something different to what this place is. That's not a moan but I would think more like B & B above a lovely old pub. The room was up 2 flights of stairs. Don't expect air conditioning but it did have a fan, blinds, curtains and windows so even though it was 28/29 degrees the room was still cool. The shower was excellent. I would take your own shower gel because although you are provided with a small sachet of body wash it may not be enough for some. All in all the room had all of the basics that you need. The food here is wonderful and plentiful. Breakfast was a stand out for us. The lady serving was friendly and we liked the fact that we had our toast while we were waiting for our cooked breakfast. The food was locally sourced and the sausage in particular was great. Well done to the Chef's 👨‍🍳👩‍🍳 We had a fantastic stay and would definitely recommend if you are in the area. 😊

Room was clean and well-stocked, both dinner and breakfast were very nice. Staff were helpful. Beautiful town and very charming hotel with lots of character. Only downside was the TV was small and a bit of a pain to work, however for our trip that didn't impact us.
