We've stayed here before as it's handy for the Red Rooster Festival at Euston Hall. The staff are very helpful and the rooms comfortable and spotless. The breakfast priovided is excellent; very good quality ingredients. Also nice that the hotel is not far from major road network but not on a busy road. Would recommend it and would stay again.

Dinner was delicious! Bed was super comfortable and staff were so friendly and helpful... even gave us a small jug of fresh milk for our room. Suggestion: would have been nice if there were some board games/cards in the pub to pass our time. There was a dart board but tables were infront of it. But overall, lovely stay and would definately stay again!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Quality of food was excellent only spoilt by constantly swatting flies away. Parking seemed a free for all for local residents as well. No designated parking for paying guests.

Would definitely stay again

Stayed 1 night while attending a family wedding at Hockwold Hall. We had rooms 11 & 12 made into a family room for the 4 of us. It was absolutely perfect with a separate bedroom and additional, separate toilet. Bathroom had a skylight so you could look at the stars while relaxing in the spacious bath. The venue even arranged transport for us (additional cost) to get us too and from Hockwold Hall. Breakfast was delicious.

More of a pub than hotel. Flies were everywhere, especially around food. Bedroom and bathroom didn’t feel clean. Only parking was a few spaces outside the front, so all the smokers and drinkers were squeezing past the car all night - thankfully no damage as far as I can tell.
