The hotel is a coaching inn and the walls are decorated with photographs and memorabilia relating to the history of the area. We stayed for 2 nights using the hotel as a base from which we could visit family and friends and visit West Norfolk attractions. We had a family meal on the first evening. The food was well cooked... More

With 11 other guests I chose the Castle for my 50th birthday meal and was hugely impressed by the quality of the food at exceptionally reasonable prices. This is a real culinary gem that has been overlooked by people of the town I think... Lovely cosy bar too.

We had a private family gathering at this hotel & were pleased with the food & staff professionalism. The room we used was clean & well presented with a good variety of sandwiches savouries & hot compliments. Comfort zones were well looked after & there was adequate car parking.

Visited the castle because we like fishing in the area. The hotel is ideally situated for this. It so nice to stay in a hotel which is not part of a plastic chain. The food was great and the staff were so friendly. I would recommend it to anyone. It nice to see all the old photos in the bar.

The food was exceptional offering many alternatives for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Located in the heart of a quint town and 30mins from the coast we had plenty to do. We have already booked another weekend... More

Ridiculuosly over priced considering you can stay out the newly renovates Crown Hotel just down the road for less per night. The rooms are of a much lower standard of Premier Inns for example, not even on par with travel lodge. Service okay but owners seem very 'cliquey' and also seem to suffer delusions of grandeur with their overpriced prententious... More

On arrival we were greeted by a charming Gentleman by the name of Ben very courteous who booked us in and showed us to our room which was no 6. The room was traditional if somewhat worn with paint coming off the toilet wall and a grubby carpet but for one night we could live with that. We decided to... More
